I'm not married yet and I don't live with my family anymore and that's why I don't have to hide when I gamble. but the trick I used when I was living with my parents was to not allow anyone (including my parents and even my girlfriend) to touch my smartphone and laptop. I'm lucky enough to never tell my girlfriend about my gambling activities because she will definitely tell my parents when we fight lol.
then what is the problem if her telling your parents when you are living on your own now? meaning you are still under your parents decisioning ? lol you can choose your own path and no one will dictate what you need to act for your life,
they are only here to advice you for something what is wrong and what is right.
I'm still in college and in another city, I'm currently in my final semester, my parents still send me money, if only my parents knew I was gambling then I'm afraid it would burden them and make everything difficult for me. We are a family that really respects customs and still adheres to the norm that those who are unmarried are under the control of their parents.
oh I see , Yeah then that is much better to hide or forget about gambling at all mate, you are still college and still not gaining your own money, best to use only the signature campaign payments you are earning for your gambling activities and never let yourself engaging aside from that money mate.

Remember if your wife may allow you to play as long as you will not being so addictive with it.

It's not just an addiction problem, gambling is linked to the household's economic situation. And don't get me wrong, women are more conscientious when it comes to household shopping, LOL.
I spoke last night with a friend of mine who in the last few months asked for help depositing money into a slot site with my bank account. Apparently he intends to reduce the frequency of gambling after discussing with his wife (say bickering) who is judged because her hobby is a bit disturbing monthly expenses even though I know that she is not an addict.
In conclusion, if you want to stay in control of your gambling spending or avoid addiction, then you should involve your wife to control your gambling money. Grin

If you have a family then you should be open to them. You can talk to your wife and set a small portion of your income for gambling. But if your wife is against it and you can't stop gambling then it's a problem except if the amounts are only minimal to nothing. When it's minimal to nothing and your wife is still against gambling then you can play when she's not with you? You can use a browser instead of downloading betting apps. But first, you need to think deeply, because maybe your wife is right and you're already gambling much more.

If one really wants to keep his gambling life style unknown from his family is to be extremely careful by keeping it private.  What you don't tell or inform people nobody will know about it. It is nothing too hard to keep it unknown,  what is important is decision to keep gambling lifestyle private to one's self. Sometimes we do things without knowing about it except we make decisions to disclose.
You shall not tell others but if you can't become a honest guy with your wife and that would be a very different situation. You must care with your family caused by your wife must know everything about that.
Remember if your wife may allow you to play as long as you will not being so addictive with it. im seeing so many people have been saying it with their wife and as long as they can control it and their wife were allowing them to play.
The only problem is when someone become addictive and it will be making so many problem to happen like selling everything to play gambling once he has no money left

Why gambling online,you will not go to call your wife or your children to come and watch you gamble,as long as your phone is with you,you make your stakes and take a gamble on it,if it plays for you,it plays,if it does not,you still accept it like that.But the reason why the gambler's wife and children will get to know about it is maybe when you loose,and you made a stake with a huge amount,if you are not careful,the emotion that will come with it will make you want to scream which will alert your wife and your children.

You can't hide it from her forever, so is better you just open up to her, no matter how you hide it from her definitely she will know one day and am sure she will be disappointed because you have been lying to her, so just tell her the truth and wait for what she will say, if she ask you to stop them ask her for reason why you should stop, if she is having a good reason then I think it will be better if you listen to her. Am sure if you are not addicted to gambling she won't say anything but gambling addiction is not really good it can affect you both financially and mentally.
And in the first place, we don't need to hide anything, especially from our wives otherwise, trust will change. I'd see better if our family will know what we are doing, in fact, it was just gambling, and the more they know about it, the more they will understand and even the reason that would stop our addiction. Maybe the concern is about financial matters that most of the wives won't allow us but this matter should be talk in both parties in order to avoid misunderstanding.
We know that once trust is broken then you cant turn it back forever and your wife would really be always have doubts because on simple things like this you do really still hide.
What more on other big things? for sure she would already doubt your honesty thats why its really better not to hide something on your wife because once you've been caught
then you cant really changed up the past and that would be a regretful thing that you have done which you would wished that you hadnt done it on the first place.

Now, this would be something of a thread where users can give tips as to how we play online/offline without our family knowing it. Curious how you do it.

Many gamblers that are truly gamblers and i mean the active ones have all they do openly exposet to their wife or family member because gambling is something they cannot hide for long, i so much se the newbies amd those not too addicted to playing games to be the set of people trying to hide their feelings about gambling which eventually may not last as well before it got exposed too, but some of us enjoy the pleasure of watching games right at home before the family but try to hide the gambling we do while in our closets.

Most of the time where wives wont really be supporting on husbands that do get involved with gambling which is understandable considering that this do really imposes up some risk on getting wrekt on financial.

You cant really be sure that you would really be that able to handle yourself or make yourself avoid on possible addiction specially if you do engage with gambling on an active manner which is susceptible
into that kind of thing which it would be most likely your wife will really be telling that you should stop on what you are doing.
Indeed. A wife knows that betting or gambling may risk financial stability. And it also can have an adverse effect on psychological/mental. Considering these possible results, no wife naturally supports her husband to bet or gamble. However, if we can ensure that we bet or gamble for fun only, our wives may understand us. Betting for fun will be easier to control emotions since we don't bet/gamble for money-oriented. Even got losses, we are easier to forget them and never think to use money exceedingly to catch winning. It is different when we bet/gamble for money-oriented, we must expect too much to win. This will lead us to spend all our money only in a single day.

Regarding addiction, it is sometimes difficult to avoid. No one can ensure that he/she won't be addicted. But if we know how to bet/gamble in the right way, we may lessen the possibility of being addicted.

This might seem like a good idea at first but it's not going to work long term. I tried it myself with my ex girlfriend and it didn't work, she kept asking me why she isn't allowed to look at my things and what am I hiding. This created a lot of problems in our relationship and made her very jealous. If we forbid something to our wife or girlfriend it creates mystery and she will be even more motivated to find out what's going on. It only takes one careless day to leave things unlocked and she might open it up when we are at work or university. I think it's better to try and hide in plain sight. Making things as uninteresting as possible for her to not give any attention to it. But then again the best would be to not hide in the first place and be open with each other.
Girls, no matter whether they are wives or GF, they will always keep a close eye on you, on your mobile, laptop, and other belongings. It is impossible to hide your social and gambling activities and one day or another you will be caught.

Think of a situation where you tell your wife that you play gamble and think of another situation where you are caught playing gambling whie you were denying it all the time. Which situation do you think is worse Roll Eyes
You are their property, that is why they have the right to check you out or your things so not allowing them to borrow your stuffs will only make them suspicious and even if you don't hide your phone or lappy but if it has a password on it, that will still be the same. Why not use an app hider instead? You can hide your browser or whatever items you want to hide from them without being caught not unless if they are also a computer geek like most of the guys.

If your girlfriend of wife is very allergic with gambling then both scenarios that you propose are bad. That is the reason why some will just choose to hide their gambling hobby.

1xBit.. recovered their reputation
my family doesn't know I gamble because I never told them about my activities, my country labels those who gamble as criminals and I don't want to be labeled like that

So far I am very comfortable not telling my gambling to other people (friends, colleagues and family) because there is no profit either. hiding things about gambling in my circle makes me live calmly

I don't know how things are in your country, but in our country many students combine studies with work to become independent of their parents.

In my place, you hardly see varsity students who don't use a sportsbook, they gamble to survive and gamble for fun combine even as they do their outside work to support their academics, sometimes I do feel it is too many Ads of bets they see that do contribute to this behaviour.

If I found out that my child is gambling with the money I send him to live, I would be very upset. I believe that if a person decides to gamble, he should spend the money he has personally earned, not the money his parents give him. Think about it.
My country's minimum age to start gambling is 18, that's an adult. It is up to him to use it wisely as long he doesn't ask you for another upkeep.

And if everyone starts jumping off the roof, will you do that too? Personally, I doubt it.

I think that you should not follow the crowd, but have your own point of view and respect the work of your parents. For example, you participate in a subscription campaign and you could gamble with this money and use your parents' money for its intended purpose. This approach would help to form the right attitude to money.

Your family must be really cool and understanding. Coming from a home that is religious doctrine would never understand a bit, society has set a standard for gamblers as irresponsible people that's why they don't show people that they gamble.
This has been a struggle for gamblers who came from religious families. Some religions are against gambling and even refer to it as a sin while some sectors see it as morally wrong because it undermines the virtues of work, industry, thrift, and service to others. They believe that it's fun and entertaining but ends up being highly addictive and potentially ruinous.
But as for me, gambling isn't a sin but only becomes dangerous when handled the wrong way and is being abused. As long as we know how to deal with its risks and we could play responsibly, gambling will never be wrong.

The last part of your statement value the most, if you handle it incorrectly it will turn against you, I mean we already see the bad side effects of being addicted to gambling, if you go that far for sure you'll be ruining your life so it's best to have someone who knows your concern and the best for that is your wife/partner o your love ones,

with them knows your participation, they will be able to help in controlling your engagement, though it's true that most of the time gambling addicted person is always in a process of self-denying,

 Meaning to say that it's really tough to accept the truth that your engagement is already un-controllable and you already needed deep help from experts. Sad to say, but you better to watch it out, not to allow yourself turning to that kind of problematic gambler.

Now, this would be something of a thread where users can give tips as to how we play online/offline without our family knowing it. Curious how you do it.

My wife suspected me for almost a year already when I was watching a UFC channel on youtube where they suggest who to bet. Of course, I said No when she asked if I was betting. From then on I just hold my phone whenever she is not around. It's a long argument when your wife suggests buying this or that on amazon yet you gambling your funds. lol
Well the argument won’t definitely stop because you keep hiding from her the truth. Just be honest and tell her about mate, after all your money is also her money since everything is conjugal when married. Who knows, she’ll be supporting you in some of your bets as long as you never gamble the funds reserved for the bills and emergency funds. That way, betting will be more exciting.

Another point to note is that even if we hide the fact that we are playing gambling from our wife or family, it will be revealed one day. As long as you are winning most of your gambling games, it won't affect your life but if you start losing games (which is the case with most of gamblers), then for sure your wife will ask where the money is going. It could lead to more complications as she may think you have a girlfriend and you are spending money on her.
So, better stop playing gamble or tell your family that you are involved in gambling but will try to limit it so there is not much monetary loss.

You own the pen
Never even thought about keeping it a secret from my family. If you are responsible for your own budget and are responsible for what you do yourself, then why should there be any secrets? If there is an understanding of risks and competent budget management, then you will simply see what can bring you money, and where losses occur.

That's what I think too because if you messed up, they don't know how to help you because they don't know about your problem. That's why most people became depressed when they lose because they don't have anyone to share their stories and also they won't get any advice because they keep it only to themselves which is not really good. That's why psychiatrists exist because they help people with some addiction and before you go to them, it is recommendable to consult your family first because they know you better.

No matter what you do, you get caught in the end. I tried several different methods. But in the end I either got caught or made them suspicious. When you are caught, you are simply caught. No problem. Everything is open. But if you make them suspicious, you cause them to follow you like a cop. It's a problem. Nothing is open. You are entering a tense process where you are constantly faced with new questions and observations. This is not a pleasant situation. I no longer hide my passion for betting from anyone. I've been in this mode for a long time and I feel happy to be like this. I think being honest with them makes our social relationships better. After I was transparent with them, I realized that I had less problems with my close circle.
