So in other words, what if I say the stress reduction in an individual as regards to what you just said above do not depend on either the gambler himself or his gambling activity, but rather the outcome of the gambling activity (i.e profit or loss) is what determines if an individual will be stress-free or not. Because we all know that inasmuch as gambling is said to offer health benefit of reducing stress for people who gambles, it's also obvious that if there is a continuous loss, so will people likely get depressed, and as such why it's not good to go into gambling simply because you want to relief stress, but rather because you want to try your luck while having fun.

Gambling is healthy in multiple aspects of a human's life, due to its vast wealth of thoughts and reasoning it puts on the gambler. It's left for the player to focus on enjoying those healthy impacts it creates in his life. What is most considerable is understanding the fact that gambling isn't just a negative activity. Once a player begins to let it sink, then he could gamble responsibly in the hopes of earning good and useful gambling benefits. The disputes rely on the thoughts of a player, most people don't acknowledge this fact of gambling being beneficial to a gambler's health. If it can destroy someone's emotions through addiction, it'll also build a player's emotions through responsible gambling.

Choosing the right pact now justifies the results of any gambler. A player who has in mind to relax or ease his stress through gambling will get what he seeks, with not many troubles. Hence, he enjoys the game and at the same time the health benefit of dealing with stress via relaxation. Unfortunately, new gamblers in large numbers, hardly get these healthy benefits of gambling, due to the prior information they get before entering the niche. This still justifies the fact that it depends on the focus of the player, if he's there to learn he will, be if the player focuses or earns alone, he'd face the consequences as well.

Absolutely. Gambling, when done responsibly, can also enhance cognitive skills. Games like poker or blackjack require concentration, strategy, and critical thinking, which can sharpen mental faculties. Additionally, for retirees, gambling can be a form of leisure activity that offers not just social engagement but also the mental challenge that can contribute to maintaining cognitive health. It can stimulate brain areas responsible for memory, problem-solving, and decision-making.

Moreover, the controlled excitement of gambling can potentially stimulate the brain’s reward system, releasing endorphins and possibly increasing brain efficiency in processing emotions and risks. It’s the sense of a ‘calculated risk’ that can provide a learning experience, teaching about risk assessment and management.

for me I have not seen any health benefits of gambling and the gambling cannot be classified and something that I have a health benefit instead of that gumballing causes a depression in human health, So whoever that says that the gambling have a health benefit that the person right up they heslth to benefit of gambling.. Only thing I know that then gambling you can make money through gambling unexpectedly because it is a something that deals with risk so anyone who is a gambler should not hope that gambling can make him to be over rich

I like the fact that you added the phrase "arguably stress" because I'm very confident that gambling buildup stress in the sense that when you have in mind that you are going to win something and there are some games left to be played. There is going to be some kind of tension in you most especially if the money you are expecting as a potential win is very large. There is also an emotional stress that you will experience when to lose that potential money you were expecting.

The only health benefits I can point for gambling is since it's a social activity, it makes some people less depressed and when idle, it give them fun for people who see gambling as social life. If you put money before all I have said, there is every tendency that you will end up been more depressed when you don't win and you might even suffer from more stress and addiction.

In my opinion I don't think gambling has any special health benefits except from the arguable fact that it can help reduce stress in some persons. Since a lot of gamblers view gambling as a fun activity then those set of individuals will definitely be of the opinion that gambling can reduce stress since it's a fun activity and most fun activities help reduce stress. The fact that gambling can reduce stress is also arguable since some people even end up being tensed and stressed up during some gambling sessions especially those where they had accumulated losses and had a lot of thinking and analysis on their mind before placing the next bet.
The truth is for a topic like this, people will definitely view it two sided therefore the stress reducing or causing effect depends on the gambler himself and not the gambling activity.

They say its a catastrophic event. Thats fake news. Game play is the issue, not gambling. Winners were disciplined. Knowing their limits and odds of victory. Smart and calculated. There's a plus. Some need that thrill to unwind, and who am I to judge?

Most fail miserably. Chasing losses and greed is a recipe for disaster. Nobody tells you that awful truth. Gamble can be enjoyable. You must be smart. Stick to your limitations and go away. Character matters in addition to luck. Take it as a challenge. If done well, you may surprise yourself.

It's really so surprising seeing that gambling as health benefits,I had to go through the article and read every details inorder to get a full knowledge but I would say it's cool cause I'm aware gambling has both the negative and positive effects on a gambler so focusing on this area I can say in the aspect of relieving stress it sure works for me but where I don't get it straight it's where he said it helps us to take risk.
It's taking risk a health benefits to human whereas a gambler,I don't think this should be placed under this category or better still it should fall under the the characteristics of gambling which is taking risk.how do you see this!?

You will just relieve stress when you are entertained and of course experience a winning moment in playing gambling, you will enjoy playing gambling if you know to that you are capable of handling your emotions and decisions when you are playing gambling else you will just lose those emotions and possible if makes a wrong decision upon your in-game. Dont make gambling as your serious matter use gambling as part of your hobby, entertainment, and satisfaction.

I agree. That just means we are doing it wrong.
I had my share of being too stressed about losing but that's because I am chasing the losses that I cannot afford to lose. But I still got lucky that the RTP came and somehow I got 70 percent back of my losses. Most of the time, that is what happens when you are playing longer in casino games. I never got lucky in the first 100 bets, more like after that is when I get higher multipliers or sometimes even further.

When I saw that happening over and over again I changed my bet amount and lowered it because I cannot afford to lose to that extent again and it's affecting everything that I should be doing, including work, and my responsibilities at home and the kids. So, now that I am betting on the amount that I can waste, I can let the auto bet play by itself and just check it every 15 minutes or longer. That relieved my stress and I am not thinking about just wasting my time looking at my monitor the whole day.

to make gambling something that is not detrimental to health, gamblers need to manage their bankroll and gamble according to the money they are prepared to lose. and after that, gamblers can gamble on the games they want but they also have to be responsible for this by not gambling excessively and spending their entire bankroll at one time. gamblers can gamble multiple times until their bankroll is depleted. the point is that gamblers must understand the limits and be responsible for their gambling without going too far in pursuing winnings in gambling and to the point of spending money and stressing them out. if they succeed in doing so, it is likely that their gambling will not have a significant impact on their health.

The stress relieving of gambling is also when you are able to win then you can use the proceed to take care of your financial challenges. No person will be stress free if you still have to solve your financial challenges and nothing to do that with. In fact if you are gambling without profit, you are likely to get into depression which is what many losers of huge some get into. So like you said you can not be stress free if you are not profitable in gambling.

Because of the addictive part of gambling it has gone a long way to send the wrong signal to so many and this has blinded the eyes of many from the good part involved in Gambling and the health benefits of taking some time out of our busy schedules to relieve ourself through the process of gambling.

One of the key advantage of gambling is first the fun that's associated with it and then it helps you bond well with fellow gamblers if you're the type that gamble at shops where you meet other gamblers to share your gambling journey and experience with, it helps you talk out your stress and possibly get some motivation from others. In my locality where most persons engage in sports gambling and do it in a gambling shop, the shops are where you watch all the leagues games and talk about recent happenjng in the world of sports which helps you become informed about every thing about sports which also makes you psychologically strong in sports analysis.

There's no health benefits for people who are been defeated by their greed since their hunger to gain whatever it takes will give them stress and more troubles to come especially if the result will come as they became addicted to the game since for sure their life will be destroyed with that.

But if they are chill and know the consequences of the actions they done then their main intention is to enjoy with limited resources they deposit since they can afford to lose then there's still a health benefits they can get since it can trigger some excitement to us and enjoying the moment each game we play can relieve stress especially if we win can really be a beneficial to us. But majority choose the stressful way that's why there's a lot of people has been compromised by their wrong decisions made on gambling sites.

I honestly don't think gambling has some health benefits. We may enjoy our time while gambling "responsibly", but that's temporary, though it is good for our emotional well-being, but that doesn't mean it is generally healthy. In fact, gambling is physically and mentally draining though. We can only think of it as if it's healthy both emotionally and mentally, but it really is not. Almost most of the time when we lose it will not make you literally mad and frustrated. Mood swings are definitely inevitable when a person is gambling. We might see someone bursting in laughter and huge smiley faces at some point when they are winning, but when everything went the other way, that joy and laughter will turn into a frowny face instantly.

The importance of responsible gambling is something thst we can't underemphasized because it's the key to keeping a s maintaining a healthy gambling attitude and still maintaining your bank roll such that you don't get to go bankrupt gambling, the benefits of responsible gambling is almost just endless as it's everything beneficial to the gambler, even the casinos advocates responsible gambling because even they too knows how important and helpful it can actually be to the gambler and it's something they don't have to his from every gambler because it aswell have it's long teem effects on them too aswell.

Gaming for entertainment is one of the best way to handle this , altho it may sound difficult buy still remains one of the healthiest way of gambling as you don't really get emotional gambling and you are able to maintain thst healthy gambling habit almost always.

Happiness relief stress and you can get happiness from when you're winning, having money also reduced stress as you'll not be overthinking of how you'll manage the little money you have as you have enough that can be used to give yourself the lifestyle that you desire. Having money will also make you to be health cautious as you'll want to be going for checkup as you can afford it and when you gambling responsibly, you can make money although gambling isn't all about making money.

Gambling should be more about entertainment and when you always entertain yourself in the right way and you're not getting addicted, you'll be having many health benefits. As you're gambling you're also thinking which helps to exercise your brain by pumping blood to the brain. Gambling has both positive and negative health benefits and how to get this benefits will be determined but the individual gambling.

Among the 3 suggestions you gave there, it was only the last one is the one that is done and it became stronger now with the help of KYC. The reason maybe on why the first and second is hard to be implemented, is because they think it will affect their business badly which is likely because people are already attached to it and it will now be hard for them to leave gambling or limit their selves. They are only being greedy there.

Some casinos are still donating even not in the gambling addicts. I love casinos who has this initiative and this should be the casinos that all of us are going to support because we know that each money we put in there are not going into waste.

True, everything always depends on how you approach gambling, if for example you have the wrong approach which in general and common sense is an approach that is not recommended in gambling then obviously there is no health benefit in gambling when you come with the wrong approach and mindset, the question is, is experiencing stress along with a lot of pressure a positive thing for health? Not at all, but this is what will happen to someone who comes with the wrong approach such as coming to earn while gambling is only a probability activity that only provides "possibilities" and not "certainties".

The wrong approach will lead one to the addiction phase and the addiction phase is a situation that provides more adverse effects than positive benefits. The only reasonable approach that can provide positive benefits to a gambler is to have the intention and purpose of gambling for entertainment, and it will be useful to relieve your boredom when you have free time without having any activities to do. The thrill, excitement and adrenaline rush you will experience without the stress and strain that comes with a no-hope, no-win approach.

Couple of points I want to highlight for newbies in gambling that makes gamblers not to get the health benefits of gambling is that, if you are doing the wrong approach, that's risking way more than what you can bear to lose, chasing losses, being addicted, you won't feel the health benefits side of gambling because you would likely be in depression due to loses, but if you apply the right strategy, being disciplined and following the rules of, it can relieve stress, helps stops overthinking because of the joy that comes when you must have won a bet, the joy, the happiness especially during when you are watching a game that is going in your favor.
