Its going into debt which is something that might affect some professional careers, usually finance related or security industry would be vetting employees for this kind of thing. Some people have to submit credit scoring type questions to find out if you are vulnerable in any way that might compromise the business you are entering but gambling in any moderate way I think is fine. I suppose some schools would not want their staff to do much at all, drinking alchol many normal things could could as a negative but I dont hear of it being any absolute no. In a competitive labor market place I've no doubt people like to keep their past times personal to avoid any complications
First of all I will try to my best to never let them know. Because in many countries people think that gambling is not good. If they know accidentally so I will keep away myself for a while from gambling. And just ignore them. And after some days I will start again but safely.
I think you are wrong, as far as I know every company and even school do some background check to all its staff regularly even they are already hired. Being a gambler is not a problem but being a compulsive gambler is really a problem. It will starts in yourself and then as time passes by you will get addicted to it and it will start to affect your daily lives and the people who are near with you. If you have this kind of profession, reputation is the thing that you need to take care. First of all I will try to my best to never let them know.

Most company do a background check but all they do is just check the criminal records of a person and educational attainment. Skill and knowledge is assessed via interview and exams. I don't see any company checking the habit of a person. They might ask it on the interview but they do not dig in after that. After all most company depends on the performance of the person and not on how he spend his free time.
It shouldn't, but you should also define what a gambler means.
If you gamble for fun, which is what it should be, then I don't consider this a problem nor do I really consider you to be a gambler. A gambling addiction, on the other hand, wouldn't make me think less of you, only that you have a psychological health problem that should be treated akin to a drug problem.
The only society that actually considers gambling to be sinful are Islamic societies. Gambling's haram (just like everything else in civil society).

I don't think that a background check is always done for a regular employee in an office (not government), teacher, or professor in school or related jobs.
In most cases, background checks are done with those government officials and the military. They should not allow themselves to be involved in gambling as that will ruin their reputation and public trust.
I think in the military, it's a big punishment to see their colleagues entering the gambling premises.
You're a professional like a lawyer or a teacher in a respected university, will it harm your reputation if people around you or your students discover that you are into gambling, you're not really a compulsive gambler but gamble for entertainment, how will you explain this to people around you or will you explain to protect your reputation or just ignore them.
This will definitely depend upon the extent of gambling you are currently doing.
Generally, the idea of being a gambler is held by the society as something negative. Truthfully, if someone is addicted to gambling, then it could potentially destroy someone's life in the process. But in the example that you provided, as long as the person knows how to control his gambling addiction and does not represent himself in a scandalous manner (e.g. boasting that you are gambling, etc.) then I do not think that it will not pose such a problem.

Maybe far fetched, but you could get a warning or in some cases even a dismissal. These are things that certainly happen in the business world, and not just among teachers. The track record of a teacher is of course also taken into account.
An employee that is not doing his duty will have warnings and eventually a dismissal if he doesn't change. But I never seen any person who is involved in gambling but working perfectly fine being kicked out of a company.
Because there are also some instances that the employee is just trying to entertain himself or herself in the form of gambling and the company doesn't have to worry about that because people needed to blow off some steam at some point, the important thing is that the said employee will still do his duty/work and still able to finish projects on or before the deadline.
If the teacher still performs well in the duty I guess the head of the office has noticed this kind of activity of the teacher which is it depends on the disciplinary action or the sanction to them because there's a chance that the teacher already play too much gambling and they notice that there's a chance in the future it will affect him in teaching the students we know the responsibility of being a teacher so there's a possible or a chance still the head have the authority to make this kind of action.

It depends on which country do I live. Some countries are really conservative and finding out that a respectable member of the society is involved in such activities would damage his reputation for sure. Other countries are more liberal and the society isn't very strict about "controlling" the personal life of it's most respectable members. After all, we are adults and we have the right to have some fun once in a while.
If I was a teacher, I would do the best I can to hide the fact that I'm gambling. We live in the 21st century and online gambling is a thing.
I wouldn't bother visiting offline casinos so that someone I know would see me there.
But for let's say an European countries that is liberal and open, it won't affect them, maybe even a MP in their country won't be bothered if they are to be found gambling in some place or even in their home country.

But aside that, if I can gamble and concentrate on teaching together, it is not uncalled to gamble.
but of course, you will not open a casino when you are doing learning activities. it certainly will not make you able to concentrate on your class. it will be bad for the quality of the learning you provide.Everyone has their way of dealing with this case. even teachers also have different personalities when in class or on campus. some may be open with their students, but some will not share their activities on campus.
it is possible to share such personal information with like-minded students. teachers are usually close to certain students.
I need to be responsible and there is no change, because I was in a position to teach the students. Tomorrow the same students can follow my footsteps and ask for suggestions. To avoid such situation I won't get into gambling activities. Will try to keep me away, and if I was to spend I'll do it on my holidays and never let others know it.
That is you. Although it is not good to be gambling and let your student know about it, most especially if you are teaching minors. Even if you are a lecture and teaching in a university or any other tertiary institution, you still have to be disciplined and not go beyond lecturing with your students. But if you are gambling, your students will not know. Only what can make me stay away from gambling after holiday when schools have resumed is because gambling is taking my time and not able to me fully concentrate on teaching. But aside that, if I can gamble and concentrate on teaching together, it is not uncalled to gamble.

Interesting question. because after all, if I have a reputation as a person who is respected in the environment concerned, be it at home or in the work environment. For example, university teacher, whatever important position I hold will have a not-so-good stigma.
even if it's just part of the fun. but for sure, I won't explain it to anyone if they don't ask for an explanation personally.
for me, gambling is a fun activity even though it is high risk.
Gambling is something personal, without having to explain I think people should respect it in a non-judgmental way.
In this modern era, gambling is not something that is taboo.

It is kinda hard to explain people that you like gambling as a hobby. Nearly all people see it as very bad habit and bad for your finances. But just like all things, if you can control yourself and play in limited time its very fun. I personally love slots for example. It feels fancy with visuals and sound effects. It makes me remember good old arcade machines. I set money I will spend on my mind so I can stop myself. That's how I explain.
In some circles gambling has a very bad reputation, something I find odd because I know people which spend way more money on their Starbucks coffee than the money I spend on gambling, and yet I am sure that if they got to know that I gamble they will think I am the one with a problem.So this is something that we need to accept as it is impossible to change the perception people have of gambling in general, which is why I never tell anyone that I gamble as a hobby as you never know who could eventually hear that information and then it could have some negative consequences in your life.
Maybe if someone finds out that we are gambling, they will change their attitude towards us and we will not feel comfortable being around them.
W should disregard the profession when it comes to the things that humans should enjoy. Gambling chooses no gender and we're all equal here. Even professionals also deserve to have fun by doing things that make them happy. For me, I will not mind if other people will discover my hobby and I will value my feelings more than theirs. What matters is I'm not causing harm to anyone but rather enjoying gambling the way I deserve.
man people have the right to have fun in the extra time they have, even a person who is president of a country has hours he works and there are hours he leaves work to rest and at that time he has the right to have fun like him want, nothing forbids him to go to some casino and have fun, nothing forbids him to play gambling so we can't think that a teacher will be frowned upon or not have a good reputation just because after work he plays gambling, he has rights to live his life after work and he is not committing any crime. and we also have to look at another point: how many people in this society have good behavior and are saints? there are few people who have a moral and ethics, there are a lot of people who are not even married and they have many women and children and they drink a lot of alcohol but they are presidents of countries. That's why I don't even see any sense in someone condemning or judging people who play gambling when they play outside of work and in their countries it's allowed
You know, everyone has a secret. A well dressed man or woman might look very responsible until one looks deep only to uncover shady involvements. One's life and livelihood often depend on reputation. Like it is popularly said, a good name is better than riches, so when one has a bad reputation, it affects the flow of income, or better still chases the goddess of luck away.
Gambling is not too bad until it is done in excessive. For one to dress well and be known as a gambler is for the most part degrading, that is if one actually gives a hoots ass about public opinion.
If in or affiliated with a responsible organization, it is quite reasonable to shove aside some known habits like gambling, so as such an organization does not feel exploited or feel it is wasting resources in the person of an employee.
One should therefore guard his/her reputation and also learn to keep a balance as regards spending monies on gambling and other related demeaning habits.

Each people have skeletons in their closet in which they don't want other people to know of because of the reason that it can taint their reputation. We all have that certain bad experience or mistake we don't are not ready to share with anyone because of the judgment that we might get from it. Hence, some people believe that there are specific things better left unsaid so that it won't cause trouble/s.
I agree with what you said that livelihood and the status of someone's life depends on his reputation. Of course, if you have good reputation, most people will like you and opportunities will go your way. Majority of the businesses, employers, and people in general do not want to be involved with someone with bad character and tainted reputation because it can damage them as well. When you feel like the boat will sink, you definitely won't board in it.
Gambling has been painted bad in the mainstream media because most of the time, the consequences of it are highlighted. We can't really blame the people by thinking that way. After all, if you know it to yourself that you are a responsible gambler and do not do the things they think of you, then you don't have to be anxious. You are not obliged to prove yourself..
