Gambling is generally very harmful to an individual, because if a gambler participates in gambling, he is doing wrong from the society's point of view. Because a gambler is an abomination in the eyes of society, and among them if he becomes addicted again becomes the worst cause. As you can see, a gambling addict can never contribute to society. And a threat to the family, he tries to make gambling losses more than what he normally earns. That is why he is identified as a bad person in the eyes of the society.

Gambling can affect self-esteem, relationship's, physical and mental health,work performance and social life. It can harm not only the person who gambles but also the family, friends, workplaces and communities.

So with all this I think if they put an restrictions on gambling it's not a bad idea at all, first why is gambling a problem?

Gambling can stimulate the brain's rewards system much like drugs or alcohol can, leading to addiction. If you have a problem with compulsive gambling, you may continually chase bets that lead to losses, use up savings and create debt.

You may hide your behavior and even turn to theft or fraud to support your addiction. So with my conclusion and my observation towards this gambling is really cousin harm to the life of those ones who are addicted to it most their families.

 Secondly what are the social problem caused by gambling?
(1) Depression and suicide
(2) bankruptcy, family-break up
(3) domestic abuse
(4) assault, fraud
(5) theft, and even homeless
Addiction to gambling is link to a range of serious personal and social harm such as those things I mentioned. These effects can be devastating to the individual as well as their friends, family, workplaces and community.

This are the harms and with all this are the reasons why, they see people who gambles as a distraction towards the society and the most people who are into all this are the addicted ones. So how is gambling harmful to the society, ills associate with problem gamblers are widespread and often go beyond and addition to gambling.

People who gambles can be at risk of this following categories of harm.
(1) Financial harms
(2) Erosion of savings
(3) Filling for bankruptcy
(4) Relationship conflicts
(5) Neglect of relationship with significant other
(6) Neglect of relationship with children
(7) Extend family and friends
( Social isolation
(9) Emotional or psychological distress

So I don't really blame the people who sees gambling as a bad thing to the society, meanwhile If the younger ones take of the steps of being addicted don't you think they'll experience all this as well. So gambling it's bad to the society nevertheless it's also helping in the other hands, to ones which are benefiting and earning from it.

What is the mindset of a gambler? On my opinion pathological gamblers play the cope with a life stresses. Near-misses and personal choice give some gamblers a sense of control, winning money. Others believe they can beat the casino and win real money.

So the mindset are those things that attract harm to them and the society because they are focused on the money, and that's why I said it's also helping some people in other hands and it's also killing some people right now in the society. Behavior also involves that makes it look bad to the society, while trying to get back lost money by gambling more( chasing losses) lying to family members or other to hide the extent of your gambling.

Risking or losing important relationships, a job, or school or work opportunities because of gambling. Asking others to bail you out of financial trouble cause you have gambled money away.

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

for me it's because of the bad habits towards it that's why they think it's bad to the society, those set of people who get addicted are the ones which the society give examples of. Gambling have good and bad side but if you look at the bad side you'll think it's not helping in the society, but if you look at the good side then you'll know that gambling is really helping in the society so their is nothing that doesn't have an effect. But you only you chose to know your limits and know the good side of it, that's all about it.

You are correct @Ojinga. Those people that castigate gambling uses addicted gamblers ascit an example for the what bad effect gambling has in the society, they don't realize the good effect it has too. Gambling have luckily made some people become millionaire and some people misused the opportunity.

Yes, that's right, because the actions we take will certainly lead and produce something, we need to pay attention to this because if we do something with the wrong steps or without thinking about it, the results might be bad for us. I agree with you, maturity of thought is one of the things that must be done, because that will determine what kind of results we will produce in the future. Usually people who have gambled or are currently gambling, they cannot think clearly until they make mistakes because they were not considered first. With the many cases of loss that occur, perhaps it is one of the results of actions or things that were done without considering it first.

I think that many gamblers lose money beyond their capabilities, because they don't have good thinking or don't have good maturity so they can't accept the losses that occur, which ultimately makes them trapped in gambling and it's difficult to get out. By getting trapped in a gambling addiction slowly and over time they will see bad changes and can harm other people.

Actually for me, I don't think gambling is bad influence to the society but it depends on how individuals handle gambling.

That is why it's advisable to gamble responsibly and also gamble with what we can afford to lose, also know that gambling is all about luck and chance and not a game of where one can become rich through it and also if we find ourselves to be an addict, we shouldn't hesitate to seek for help and support with from our loved ones or from counselor.

That way will help us to reduce the rate in which we gamble, because if we gamble irresponsibly it can lead or cause us some damages in our lives, such as depression etc which can also lead someone to have mental disorder.

it is seen badly in many countries due to the restrictive and prohibitive laws that exist, look at China for example, in my opinion, by doing so they make things worse because then that crime ring is created around what is a movement that brings in a lot of money, you know the bets they pay well and therefore everyone wants to get into it, it must be regulated otherwise then everyone does as they please, regarding the states that allow it then it must be said that they take advantage of it by leveraging older people who lose control over the games or by making it become We're all gambling addicts, we need to get our act together

Well, when someone loses and finances become tighter than ever, ideas of appropriation and theft occur and of course, that will affect society and we can also consider that gambling has played a part in this outcome but don't forget that this is only the result of losers, without these losers, other normal people would sometimes also become thieves or robbers because of the financial regime. On the other hand, winners and profiters still cultivate benefits for this society, more money will be applied to higher taxes as well as more spending and that is also an opportunity for many business people, gambling destroys but also regenerates society

I don't know how much priority is given to gambling in other countries of the world, but gambling is still hated in our country's society(Despite declaring the casino site legit) Even gamblers are not liked by anyone.

Is gambling bad for people that people suffer most financially through gambling which has an adverse effect on society. A person with excessive gambling addiction may become involved in criminal activities such as theft and robbery due to gambling addiction. Gambling addicts are not only hated in the society, but they are also hated in the family because they put their family in a lot of financial problems. Many gamblers end up in debt, which they later sell their family's property to repay. This is why gamblers are labeled as bad people in society.

Sometimes when we play and assume certain behaviors we must do everything possible to ensure that things are done correctly, therefore we will always generate different ways of doing things, the maturity of our thinking is something that is decisive in a casino, in this case we must always consider doing things well, for example in a society it is always good to keep up appearances, but people will always have criticism, and generally they are destructive criticisms, so in a casino we must at all times have maturity to accept either winning or losing, and that is only what society sees, and if you are a person who collapses very easily with the bad things that happen in a casino, then that is the first thing that the most critical of a society will see.

for me it's because of the bad habits towards it that's why they think it's bad to the society, those set of people who get addicted are the ones which the society give examples of. Gambling have good and bad side but if you look at the bad side you'll think it's not helping in the society, but if you look at the good side then you'll know that gambling is really helping in the society so their is nothing that doesn't have an effect.

Gambling have done harm and good to the society, society is made up of people which some gamble in casinos. Gambling might be bad to some, same time good to others, I believe gambling have not done any harm to the society neither has any good come out from gambling any results received is a by-product of action by the gambler.
We blame what we have control over as what causes harm meanwhile we are the ones that contribute and make it up.

No matter how the society may address the issue of gambling addiction, there are those who would still defy to those instructions. Gambling is very much easy compared with back then, our phones are simple medium to use while at home and since there is no limit or restrictions to the amount one can deposit to gamble then it is more of a personal choice to decide. It is also a good innovative but it is more of a personal decision.

Indeed. Gambling itself is not bad, since the gamblers are the ones to decide how they want gambling influence them. Playing to gain wealth is one of the reason why some gamblers are affected negatively. Because this mindset can bring them to more losses, having such desire with a little money you have can only cause big problem.

Gambling can't promise to make you rich, it's a way to entertain ourselves with an incentives if you are lucky. However the possiblity of becoming addicted due to wrong approach and treatment are the few reasons why our society had a bad impression towards it.
