well, i rarely get anything like that about my gambling. and it is mostly because it is my private affair and it is none of anybody else's business but also it is because i don't gamble that much either.
but those who give you a hard time by saying hurtful things are the worst people to have any connection with.
Topic: Gambling Discrimination (Read 1304 times)
As long as you are paying your bills, fulfilling the needs of your family and your own, and you are not addicted to gambling, it is nobody’s business what you do with your spare income.
it never occurred to me. because I'm playing gambling secretly, because gambling is a bad thing. so I do not want things that you mentioned happen to me.
I think no one will disclose this matter with anyone. Yes, suppose if I say that I am doing gambling means that think bad about me. So many gamblers play gambling very secretly. Only a few people can share their feeling with their loved once. I am also not faced this type of issues. Because I too like to play gambling alone. 
Have you ever experienced discrimination as a gambler like people are saying a bunch of hurtful stuffs about your gambling hobby.
AND WHAT DO YOU DO IN THESE KIND OF SITUATION?
No big deal for it mate, just leave him or ignore him. Sometimes there not know how to learn some manners. but all will be fine, don't be yours mine. and one day him will be learn from what him was doing. AND WHAT DO YOU DO IN THESE KIND OF SITUATION?

I suppose its everyone's private prerogative to play or not to play, and you must decide it yourself. But I belive, that some 'weak' people should be limited from gamebling. The question is how to do that.
This has never happened to me since I dont gamble enough. It depends if the person is concerned about you or not. If they concerned for you then I guess its ok. But if they are doing it just to be judgmental then they can go to hell since ita my choice to do so with my life and money as I please.
People tends to view gamblers as people to avoid. So if they know that you have been going to casino quite often, they will assume that you may go and find them to borrow money so they start to avoid you. There is a lot of people who knows how to gamble within their own means so they wont go and borrow but yet people view them not so.
yes i have been those experienced once time about 2 years ago because they were intimidate me with says that i got my gambling hobbies from my parents and they says too that all of my families will be gambling addict but i got those discrimination when i was gamble at physical gambling and i had ignore them because listen them will make me so pissed
I have. Gambling is very frowned upon in our area, except when you're in your 40s or 50s. People look up to you when you win in gambling, they would always ask for your favors and borrow money but when you're not winning "big", people would always discriminate me like saying I'm a sinful man for gambling and would always incorporate drugs and smoking from their statements, even when I don't even smoke, drink, or do drugs.
Happened to me a lot. Whenever I tell someone I play poker or gamble to earn money, they start judging me like crazy. So I have stopped telling people that, and only mention about poker to my close friends.
Gamblers have bad reputation among the public because they lose a lot of money and caused a lot of problems. There are good gamblers but they are the minority and the house hates them for winning their money. The great gamblers are being discriminated by the house for winning their money so these people are not in the limelight.
Yes right i dont like this but this is the truth gamblers have the bad reputation in the society specially in my country i think.So i keep it hidden from every one else even my family that i used to gamble online.Only my few friends knows about it who also gambles sometimes not as often like me and i dont want anyone else to know about it,even my girl friend 
No one dares to do that to me... I gamble my own money and I don't care about them, why would I listen to what they are saying... Family members could do that to me and I listen to them specially if what I am doing is noticeable and I am affecting them already like if I am not joining them anymore on dinner or things like that..

people always say hurtful stuff on the internet to anybody and it is not limited to gambling. it is the false sense of power that being on the internet and the semi anonymity it has, gives to some people who let themselves say whatever shit they like and this gives them that false sense of power when in fact it is just a 13 year old kid who is afraid of the dark.
People have hesitation to deal with recognized gamblers to avoid issue as there is a general perception a gambler whenever will find money will have one direction straight to casino. It is always discrimination but sometimes is advice and care what our close circle of are tell us. I was used to visit casino physically but never faced any issue except some friendly advises from some people. As long as you are playing online why you need to tell everyone that you are gambling for money.

Hurtful stuffs? Well,AND WHAT DO YOU DO IN THESE KIND OF SITUATION?
People will laugh at you, discriminate you, no matter what. They have the rights to do so anyway, they have the rights to say their opinions over things. The only problem that I can see in here is that you're getting hurt with what they are saying. You know why? It's because you're telling yourself that it's true when most of the time, it isn't.
You should know that there are tons of trolls out there. If your gambling hobby is different from them but it's working for you, then be it. Stick to it, just don't chat on the chatbox already. The reason why they recognized you and your gambling hobby is because you've talked to them before. Move on and ignore them all from now on.
Yes by my friends and they really discouraging me to not do it, its because they say that gambling is very bad tantrums and life wrecker and they showed me some bad scenario will happen if i refuse to quit for it,
and they have a point since as my experience on gambling i merely losing a big amount of money from it, and maybe you should take some advice from people its because theyre doing it for our own good so we can stop and escape in gambling life

I have not met to these situations yet. It may be I am gambling just online for quite some period of time and people don't have idea about my gambling activities. One thing is sure gambling is not seen with good eyes by other people but what is strange they happily like persons who play lottery ticket. What is also a form of gambling. I am good with these gambling activities so far.
Discrimantion is always behind the door when you are addicted to gambling. If you are addicted you will listen to family, neighbors and a lot of people you know speaking very badly of you. If thats the case and you are addicted they are right and you should go seek help and talk about your problem with your family. If you only play to entertain yourself with small amounts which can do to you no harm disregard what they are saying.
