For me there is no need to go for gambling therapist checkup like the way people do medical checkup to reduce risk of having health issues. Medical issues is different from gambling addiction. Is just like taking psychiatric vasin to prevent insanity when you are not insane, obvious the person may become permanently insane. Gambling addiction is easy to reduce without any third part interference. if only the affected person can develop a self control method by reducing the level of his day to day gambling habit. Or may decide to focus on other things that will distract his attention on Gambling.

Well, over here in my country, it is generally believed that the prevention of something happening, is always better than trying to cure that thing when and or after it has happened, take for example, sickness that you already used, preventing a sickness if better than trying to cure it, so, in essence, what ever we have to do to prevent ourselves from becoming addicted to gambling is always a welcomed development.What's gambling therapy?

Yeah, you read that correctly , it says people affected by gambling problem. But after reading I took an opposing view about it because gambling therapy shouldn't be something simply painted exclusively for people with gambling addiction problems alone. In as much as you're a gambler, whether a gambler that has his gambling habit under control, going for a gambling therapy should be a habit we should acculturate ourselves with, at least twice a year (ones in every 6months).We go for monthly or quarterly health routine checkups not only because we're sick but to reduce any risk of getting sick before knowing.

But however, therapy
So, I guess the gambling therapy (as in the one you explained) is not really for those who are normal gamblers, but it seems more like a programme that is designed for those who are already problem gamblers, and not for those who may be looking to prevent themselves from gambling addiction, there should be another of such programme for those who just want to prevent themselves from gambling addiction, but I doubt if this one will be free.

In general, I don't really see the point of going through therapy if you don't have an addiction. If you only gamble with your free money and it doesn't affect your life in any way, then therapy won't lead to anything.
Whatever therapy that's probably applicable to a person who needs it, I believe it won't correct the underlying problems associated with gambling. We need financial literacy to educate about money and finances management, because without that learnings every person won't value money.
This is a very toxic thing about gambling perspectives of an individual who still choose gambling over finances. They always expect that their money will be multiplied twice or thrice depending on how they project a specific odds or probable winning strategy that still has no assurance.
Of course, we need financial literacy, but the problem is that few people understand what it is. If we define financial literacy as a personality trait that allows us to avoid financial problems, then I can say that everyone has such financial problems. I would say that people are generally confused about the nature of risk. People usually know little about risk. There are many misconceptions about risk in finance. People, for example, confuse the risk of an ordinary small loss with dramatic and catastrophic risk. The probability of dramatic and catastrophic risk has a special increasing factor. This is a very toxic thing about gambling perspectives of an individual who still choose gambling over finances. They always expect that their money will be multiplied twice or thrice depending on how they project a specific odds or probable winning strategy that still has no assurance.

Lol...You need to stop making me laugh now as you are contradicting yourself.Fine, you can share this valuable piece like this for us to know on the forum and also decide whether we need it or not. But you saying it pricks your mind as if you are missing something despite being a responsible gambler is what I do not understand. Once you know you do not have issues in your gambling lifestyle, I will advise you to disregard everything related to this but what more on yourself to be better. This is particularly true unless you just want to learn from it and not rehabilitate yourself per se.
And of course, if you need to learn from this, there is no need to feel guilty about anything still.
This is like an effort to cure someone of any gambling problems they experience, but it can also provide understanding with the aim of building wiser and more responsible attitude when gambling.
I myself never got it but only learned from experience and really understood every good or bad thing about every risk of gambling, so indirectly I got much better attitude.
But by the way, so far there has only been suggestions or advice given by those closest to and this can also be said to be form of gambling therapy, whether it is useful or not depends on each gambler.
I sure that the people around us will always give us good advice and advice, what is clear is that we must be able to consider everything and overcome the desire to gamble excessively.
Basically, the people closest to us are the ones who can have good influence on us, although not all of them always give their best.

Considering to get connected to gambling therapist is best a physical connection and not online especially when you are going out of bounds with your gambling responsibilities because the physical connection would enable your mentality to a more conducive psychological response.
One question we need to ask is... How do we even know if we are gambling responsibly because looking at it by self judgement, we are all responsible gamblers whether addicted or not. If by conscience, we are all gambling responsibly whole those who are negatively affected would only find something wrong with their gambling habits on the side that they have been loosing more than winning and yet still think they are responsible.
So, I am in support that at any certainty or uncertainty with our gambling lives, consulting a therapy would be necessary.
At least believe it that you think you are doing it well while you are not and only a therapist can define you best on that.

Don't gamble unless you know you are going to win:
1. Insider information
2. Use software to check odds
3. Read the papers/media (if you are into Sports Betting)
4. Don't bet more than you can lose unless you find an arbitrage opportunity.

I get your point, OP, but it is unnecessary for an individual to participate in a gambling therapy, especially if they are not gambling addicts or someone who doesn't have a problem when it comes to its gambling activities, because first you will only waste the therapist time and your time. Instead of someone actually needing it, you are availing of it. I get that you intend to prevent what might happen, but the thing is, it is not practical to do. If you have a sense of yourself, you already know that gambling can cause harm, and if you know yourself, then you should know that you will not do gambling because you might happen, but the thing is, it is not practical to do. If you have a sense of yourself, you already know that gambling can cause harm, and if you know yourself, then you should know that you will not do gambling because you might be addicted and you can't control yourself. But anyway, it would be great if there were free therapy for those gambling addicts. It would be much better if there were groups that would advocate for preventing and helping those who have fallen because of gambling.
Diagnosis, medical support, administration of treatment products must be managed by specialized personnel (doctors, pharmacists and others related).
Don't self-diagnose. Don't self treat. ask a specialist for help if you think you have a problem.
There are also "alcoholics anonymous" AA support groups for gamblers that help a lot with support meetings. You can also consider a soft but in any case effective approach before going to find medical assistance.

You do not have to go for gambling therapy if you do not have a challenge betting in the right way. Therapy are for people that have a disorder and are looking for solutions because it is causing them to have financial losses and other challenges that addiction from betting can carry along. I have not needed a therapy before because I alway gamble in a way that it does not affect me negatively but many people are not careful and they become addicted because of gambling with the intention of chasing after money that sometimes they are not able to get. Gambling therapy are more of an importance to people that can not stay a day without betting and not for people that have everything under control.
Gambling therapy is intended for people who are too deep in their gambling activities, in this case he is very addicted to gambling, has damaged his mental and psychological, in this case the person must be treated by means of this therapy, to minimize future losses or things that are not desired,
For responsible gamblers, there should be no need to do this because for them this is useless, for those who are used to controlling their gambling and gambling regularly and not gambling with emotions, and gambling only for pleasure, there should be no need to take this prevention.

It's not the actual definition of gambling therapy and it's kind of misleading because it's more like a support group and therapist is someone who gives individual attention to each of the affected ones and it can be treated only by a professional once after they understand the root cause. But having a free tool is always good cause therapists are expensive so not everyone can afford it but support groups can't be a replacement but it's the closest alternative available.
When a person sees statements that he needs to prevent gambling addiction (such as quarterly health routine checkups), then, if he is sane, he should be wary and it only means one thing, that the risks of contracting the gambling infection are very high. And he should be asking himself whether he should get involved in gambling at all if the likelihood of developing a gambling addiction is high and the likelihood of winning is low.
If therapy appears for some type of activity, then this is already an alarming signal as to whether it should be pursued.

Does that even make sense? I don't know what health controls you have, but in the ones I have, there is no such thing. I don't know how they could assess the risk of having gambling problems, unless they subject you to psychological tests or something like that
People who need this type of therapy is because after gambling for a while they realize that they have self-control problems, or that they lose more than they should, but I don't know how that could be prevented by health controls.
After all, most people who gamble don't have problems, just like people who drink alcohol in a responsible way.
This would help surely but if we still don't change our way of gambling approach, even doing this every day couldn't see improvement.
If we have to do this then make sure that we follow what is been directed or else, we won't get the benefits that we want to happen. It is a change of gambling behavior and mindset, and I see the most effective way is to remain a responsible gambler who knows how to control emotions. Nothing could help us other than ourselves but this therapy fastens healing if, yes, that's if we are serious about doing this. However, this is not necessary if we know how to manage ourselves despite temptation, it is really all upon our control and desires.

We go for monthly or quarterly health routine checkups not only because we're sick but to reduce any risk of getting sick before knowing. Right?

In some cases you may be right, going for therapy now and frequent can be a good way to stay off possible gambling addictions from cripping in at any time and without your knowledge, let say taking it as a preventive measures to over possible addictions, and we shouldn't limits therapy to only those gambler's that already have gambling related issues.
But also many gambler's will see taking a frequent therapy for prevention as unnecessary and a waste of time but in the real sense, knowledge is never a waste and since it just like taking classes it can't harm anyone rather it help you and anyone around you that gamble since you can offer them advice that will help them to overcome problem in gambling.

It's like this, why do you need to take medicine? it's because you're sick, so if you're not sick, why do you need to take medicine? and that's how people who don't have bad gambling symptoms shouldn't take such therapy, because they don't need it at all. It's different if they experience severe depression due to losses or can't control their desire to gamble, then they need therapy and they should take it. Regarding prevention of bad gambling behavior, gamblers can take preventive measures by gambling within their limits, being responsible, and following the rules they have previously set as much as possible - there is no need to take such therapy because it is not necessary.
It became clear to me that everything a person pays will be perceived as a more serious activity than what is offered for free. Essentially, what can these free courses, and even online courses, provide? And if a person wonders about his healing, he can easily find free advice on safe and careful behavior in gambling. However, the treatment provided by professional psychologists is very versatile, and most often it involves working directly with the patient and not through a monitor. Therefore, if you are going to undergo any kind of prevention, and even more so, treatment, you need to go to professionals and work offline with doctors. No one will show their methods for free, and you need to understand that it will be expensive; just understanding this is a good preventive measure for some.
Maybe gambling therapy is only good for casino players who have an addiction to gambling. To help them get back to normal what they were used to when they were not addicted to gambling. Because gambling addiction is a disease that needs treatment.
Therefore, therapy is only suitable for those who have a serious addiction to gambling in the field of crypto gambling, but for those who are not addicted, it is not necessary because they still know how to control and stop themselves when they see something they shouldn't. do a gambler.
