In general, gambling is still viewed as a bad thing by society, so to be honest, its impact is also bad for society.
But for some reason, this society doesn't hesitate to use the money received from the taxes of the owners of the gambling industry and from the people working in this industry, who pour their money into the economy through spending (and indirect taxes). Many people work for the gambling industry directly and indirectly, which allows them to provide for their lives and the lives of their relatives. Therefore, the question of the influence (good or bad) of gambling on society remains open, because from a social (mental) position, gambling harms people due to gambling addiction and associated consequences, but from an economic point of view, it turns out that gambling benefits people (workers places) and the flow of money into the same society (I’m not talking about prize money) as wages.

yes, that's right, with those who are rich, of course they have enough money to gamble and they probably won't worry when their gambling ends in defeat because they still have enough money to survive and still be able to meet their basic needs, what is unnatural is when they force themselves and their needs are not met and this happens when they are addicted to gambling. and that will happen when they can't control themselves even though they have enough money, of course the chance of them becoming addicted is still there and it's just as likely as those who don't have enough money if they can't control themselves well.
It's true what you say, they will experience financial problems and it will affect their good relationships where these financial problems occur because they are addicted to gambling. and yes, when this bad thing happens it will have an impact on disputes or fights between each other which can lead to divorce and this bad thing can happen when they pay less attention to their family members because they only prioritize gambling.
If you are really that always making up that kind of reflection on trying out to mimic those rich people and if you are really just that on average or someone whose really that in poorer side then it would really be just that bringing out that huge devastation into you on which this is something that you should really be trying out to avoid as much as you could because we do know that once that desperation would really be kicking in then this is something that would really be that so hard to control and as long you do have the money that you could really be able to play on then you would really be definitely be pushing up yourself to the limits until you would really be losing it all on which this is something that would really be happening. This is why it would really be better that you should really be self wary on the actions that you are taking if you dont really like to mess It's true what you say, they will experience financial problems and it will affect their good relationships where these financial problems occur because they are addicted to gambling. and yes, when this bad thing happens it will have an impact on disputes or fights between each other which can lead to divorce and this bad thing can happen when they pay less attention to their family members because they only prioritize gambling.
up yourself on gambling field.
Gambling isnt really that bad, it is really just that people do mess up their lives because of the actions that they are taking because if they are really just that responsible on the things that they are really that doing
then you wont really be finding yourself on such trouble. People are really just that forgetting on whats the real reason on why people do gamble and how it should really be treated up.
Indeed, gambling is not bad and many people have a bad view of gambling because they have seen many people whose lives have been ruined, but the destruction of their lives is because they themselves are gambling unfairly. As a result, the bad impact caused them to experience destruction and was visible to many people's eyes.
Indeed, addiction is really a difficult situation to battle for those individual who became slave with it specially when bad habits remains a redundant actions. Giving reminders and warning to someone who's not absorbing our thoughts is kinda exhausting, and its not worth it for someone who has no plans to change their mindset and attitude. In reality we couldn't force someone to stop, since they all have their own personal reasons that hinders them to flee from gambling quickly. Some people said that they have perfect time for everything, then there's no need to have repetitive advice and it's up to them if they'll going take those helpful words of wisdom.
This is why it's usually said that before you try to help an addict, make sure to the addict is willing to let go of the addiction before even thinking of helping them because that way helping becomes easier but if you are trying to help someone who isn't really willing to be helped or isn't willing to drop the habit as at the time when you are trying to help, then they will end up making most of your efforts vain because in the end you won't be able to achieve that which you desired to achieve trying to help them because they aren't even willing the be helped in the first place.Some one who's actually really willing to let go of their unhealthy and irresponsible gambling habit doesn't need so much of advice for them to agree to letting go and getting help so they will be better to break free from such habits so helping them becomes difficult.
Everybody knows what to do about his or her life, everybody also knows the best for himself.Some persons choose to gamble,while some persons choose not to gamble because they are scared that they might get addicted to gambling,and it will lead them into depression,or it will frustrate their lives,while other person's sees it as a risk they need to take if they ever want to break the yoke of poverty.To gamble to make money nomatter the risks involved.
Therefore,when someone who has already set his mind on making money loses in gambling,he uses it as extra motivation to try more,where as the one that doesn't gamble see it as a chain to bankruptcy.
If you are not able to make good decisions for your own life, no one else will ever be able to make a good decision for you. Gambling is definitely a bad addiction and no one can do anything good in his life if he is addicted to this addiction. Gambling is a bad addiction in society's eyes. with the change of era, gambling is now a common thing, but gambling still remains bad in the eyes of the society. Gambling addiction is almost the same as alcohol addiction. Because both are very harmful. one causes health damage and another causes financial damage. so both things are very bad in society Therefore,when someone who has already set his mind on making money loses in gambling,he uses it as extra motivation to try more,where as the one that doesn't gamble see it as a chain to bankruptcy.

I bin any uncontrolled situation becomes a neusance, if gamblers get to a point that they ate too many addicts and they start to be a problem to the environment then the government may be forced to see them as bad and might even set up a law against gambling, do yeah I think if everything gets out of hand and so many suicide here and there and many teenagers getting in or worse then it's becomes bad like every other addiction.
Well being an addict is difficult because facing that situation is not easy, that is something very difficult for them, and for many it is hard to overcome it, sometimes society is not so understanding, but rather pushes them aside, thinking that this is something that could happen even to them or to a member of their family, so you have to be tactful with that kind of things, be condescending so that things turn out well, I help anyone who has any kind of problem so I do it, and the truth is it feels good to do it, I encourage many to do it, so they see that it feels good to help, even with advice, not just with money, if there is enough money much better to help with a possible treatment.
As what the title is asking, I think it is not unless people will become irresponsible with it. The only downside with gambling it ads being rampant and descriminately being posted online which will then influence minors to jump-in in the hope of making money out of it which is quite common especially in third world countries like mine.
In general, gambling is still viewed as a bad thing by society, so to be honest, its impact is also bad for society. Therefore, every country that legalizes gambling will make clear regulations to strictly regulate gambling activities, so as to minimize friction between groups who like to gamble and those who don't. This is a fact that happens, and I think everyone can judge it objectively, in many circles gambling activities are still considered a bad thing. One reason is that not all gamblers can gamble responsibly, in many cases many gamblers act outside the bounds.Meanwhile, regarding gambling advertising through various social media platforms, it is very disturbing, because it can be reached by children and they could be exposed to it prematurely. Even in countries where gambling is considered illegal, there are lots of gambling advertisements circulating on social media, in this case the government needs to take action. If government regulations are strict, gambling can become an important part of increasing state revenue through tax collections, but there are always two sides, namely good and bad, and each individual must have their own perception.
you are considered to be an addicted gambler on which it would really be that equalled into those gamblers who had destroyed their lives just because of too much gambling.
They would be seeing you negatively and its not really that new anymore. In todays technology and accessibility then people could play gambling without being known since
everything could really be done online then there's no way that you could be seen that you are playing gambling.

True, and besides that there are several factors of circumstances that can further trigger a person to get involved in gambling which one of them is when they are having financial problems in their lives that make them depressed and as we know that sometimes a person can justify any means to get money when they are in a depressed and urgent situation which is possible if in the end they are attracted to gambling with various initial scenarios that attract them to fall into which one of them is like the promotional advertisement that you said above.
The situation can apply to everyone but most of them are poor people or those who have a precarious financial situation who end up choosing gambling by putting high hopes on winning. Initially they think that gambling can be used as a place or intermediary to change their lives, but as time goes by the situation gets worse and the situation will be even more stressful when they have entered the phase of chasing losses.
If that remains a contagious activity, I believed chasing losses eventually ruins the family budget which really an essential thing to support family needs. Hard earned money is in danger of over spending due to gambling, if a person attached with gambling couldn't overcome his hard core habits? It's more like of a drug that's uncontrollable, because it needs self rehabilitation in order to stop. But whom can we seek help? Well, I guess no one could do that for us but ourselves! Nobody is held responsible for what we did but ourselves.
Uplifting our moral is very important, helping our own personal being could be possible because you knew exactly your limitations both strength and weaknesses.
In the end, as you said, no one cares about us except ourselves, meaning that if the bad habit is not stopped immediately, the situation will get worse over time and I am sure that the people around us will also stay away from us when they find out that we are having problems in life because of the impact of gambling. Therefore, we should not get tired of reminding anyone, especially beginners, to really apply a rational mindset and point of view in themselves before it's too late, because as we know that if you have entered the addiction phase then it is a very difficult problem to overcome.

Gambling is overall a net positive to society, that being said it is true that it can cause some people to become addicted to it, which is why it is legal but heavily regulated, however this is true for many other industries as well, so gambling is not being specifically targeted by governments, also in the minds of many people, since gambling can cause addiction, they put it on the same bag as drugs, but gambling addiction probably occurs in less than 1% of those that try it, while drug addiction is many times more common, with some drugs being so addictive that it can cause a person to become dependent on it from their very first use.
I'll still stand on my ground that gambling would only have a negative effect on anyone who fails to gamble responsibly and that's why they get addicted to it, I would rather blame the gambler who fails to heed to instructions and gamble responsibly than to tag gambling as a bad effect to the society. If a gambler avoid greed, avoid loss chasing, set budget and many other ways like having good strategies and even understand that they can't always beat the house then I don't see how they'll fall victim to addiction but it's when it goes the other way that you'll definitely encounter depression and most commonly, get addicted to gambling. Well drug addiction is a very big menace to the society and mostly common amongst youths lately but making it worst is when one is addicted to both gambling and drugs, I think the life of such person almost ruined if not ruined entirely and it would take lots of therapy to help such person from addiction. A gambler who's into drugs is very prone to making lots of errors in gambling and would suffer numerous losing streaks.

yeah I do see the difference, but for those society who takes the poor gambler as a crime to the society. I don't think they're doing the right thing because they're only looking at the bad side of it, not knowing that with gambling you can become a millionaire in life to help and support to the society. And for those society that takes a rich person as helper or a God to the society, I guess they do know that they started when they were poor. So for those society who sees gambling as a means of creating new problems should also see the good side of it, seeing what the rich one's are doing at the society, so for me that should also let them know that gambling do helps.In my country, giving gambling proceeds as charity is not commonplace, it is not accepted everywhere, especially since gambling is considered prohibited or haram. Maybe some people in society don't care where you make your money, but I'm not really sure if anyone ever openly gives alms from their gambling winnings in my country.
The government does not legalize gambling, but gambling can occur everywhere in my country. Some corrupt government elements give illegal permits to several domestic gambling industries, they are certainly behind the scenes expecting monthly to yearly payments.
Gambling will be considered bad in any country if gambling has changed your behavior to be abnormal. Of course, gambling becomes bad if it makes you no longer care about your financial condition, family or other things. If gambling has changed your normal self into an abnormal one, then gambling has become bad for you, as well as for society.
Quote from: 348Judah
Gambling is not bad to the society, its what the people should know and be ready to accept that they are the ones that make use of gambling together with other means of entertainment to disrupt the society in one way or the other, the intention for the creation of gambling is on engaging the people together to have fun and enjoy this during their free time, just as many have seen gambling as a means of having fun which i don't think should have any negative influence to the society.
Gambling bring progress and happiness to the society, there are some people that won in their gambling to establish some businesses in the society that is making other society to encourage their people to engage themselves into gambling. I don't think gambling is bad to society, because many people have use gambling to pay their school fees those days, because they gamble once or many times and it work for them, assume gambling is illegal to such society, it would have be difficult for the students to win such money to solve the school fees solution.
Those that addicted to gambling in the society, are the ones that is making people to think gambling is a bad thing to people but if you understand gambling very well, it will be difficult for people to be addicted to gambling because you need to control your emotion which is one of the thing that is pushing people to be addicted to gambling.

Gambling may not harm the society if it is taken as fun, but how many of you in the society can accept this gambling as fun for entertainment? A few people in the society may accept gambling as fun but most of the people who are middle class and lower class mainly consider gambling as one of the main source of money income that is why gambling has more negative effects than positive when it comes to society. Gambling is now spreading like a virus to the young generation and it is a threat to the young generation. If awareness is not raised among the young generation about the dangers of gambling then the world cannot expect anything good from the young generation in the future. 
Indeed, there are some rich people who have a lot of money so they can gamble as they wish and it doesn't affect their family's needs, but even though they have enough spare money, of course the opportunity for them to become addicted is still there, and of course they can become addicted if they lose self-control. when gambling and of course it will affect his finances. where at first they don't have problems with their finances and needs, but when they become addicted to gambling, of course financial problems and other problems can occur.
I didn't say there was no chance of getting addicted. What I mean is that, since they are rich, they might have the money to gamble with at all time and they may also have enough money to handle the needs of the family but where they will encounter issues in the relationship is when they become addicted and divert all their attention from wife and children to gambling. Women love attention and children likes attention to be guided by their parents. If you are not giving the required attention to the family but rather to gambling, it can cause disagreements and fight between the man and wife. That was my point their.
It's true what you say, they will experience financial problems and it will affect their good relationships where these financial problems occur because they are addicted to gambling. and yes, when this bad thing happens it will have an impact on disputes or fights between each other which can lead to divorce and this bad thing can happen when they pay less attention to their family members because they only prioritize gambling.
up yourself on gambling field.
Gambling isnt really that bad, it is really just that people do mess up their lives because of the actions that they are taking because if they are really just that responsible on the things that they are really that doing
then you wont really be finding yourself on such trouble. People are really just that forgetting on whats the real reason on why people do gamble and how it should really be treated up.

gambling bad in society is the perspective of the people in the area. Some people think it's bad, because this can have an effect on the habits of the people around them. they afraid his family will be trapped in gambling activities too. Of course, those of us who know the reason, will not blame those who gamble, because it is their own decision. However, in other side, people can assume that gambling will increase criminal activity in town, because of gambler cannot control their finances. Like a case, if they lose, gambler have the potential to commit crimes, either stealing or robbing. from this a small percentage of gambler will probably do these negative things. However, gambling is not the cause, but the emotions of the gambler it self. Because many people in this world are gambled, but they can still control themselves both in family and social life and never do any negative activities around them.
That's why being a guardian to my younger generation son and daughter I constantly monitored their activities particular with social media and other stuffs on the internet. Money issuance will always be an optimum amount to their allowance so they won't be able to partake with gambling whether physical or online betting. Educating them on values on importance of hard earned money from us their parent, and with that ways I believed gambling would be a serious interest for them to tackle with despite of how bad it affects the society.
To be fair enough, you cannot necessarily monitor all the activities of this young generation because if they did not learn from home, they can easily learn from their peers in school or those in the neighbourhood. Just do the best you can as a parent by continually reminding the taught lessons so as to keep their minds refreshed and hope they don't get misled by what they see around. Talking about social media, there are often times where gambling ads just keep popping up, some are from apps we use in our phone while some are from the page we are in, so they'll definitely get exposed to all these gambling but I guess this is where the quality of your advise comes in.
Currently, it is difficult for us to monitor everything our children do. we can limit them for now. but the most important thing is that they must think to stay away from bad things.
Situations closer to the child will be more important now for me, and I will emphasize the dos and don'ts. and in the future, once they know the risks, it is up to them to decide. But we must do our best to prepare them to face their future.
