This quotes really suit with this thread "You’re NOT The Average Of The Five People You Surround Yourself With"

It's really hard to not doing what other people around you are doing, you might not get addicted, but it's high unlikely you're not a gambler. More over working in casino doesn't mean you get paid high, instead you only get paid with minimum wages, which could influence you to gamble to win money.

There is a possibility of working in a physical casino and not gamble but that will depens on himself because gambling can tempt him easily and makes him playing gambling. If he can have strong self control and only focus with his work in the casino, he will not trying to playing gambling especially he can see many bad examples from people who playing gambling. They will not stops playing gambling if their money is not gone in gambling but some of them can return to casino easily after they have money.

If he insist to trying to playing gambling, he must have self control to prevent from the want to keep playing gambling. Gambling can tempt him to keep playing gambling without he can deny especially if often see some people win in gambling. He will trying to win like those people and that can be bad for him because he can addicted to gambling easily and he can get fired from his work if he is addicted to gambling.

Before you are hired on a gambling platform, they assess the character of the individual if they are prone to gambling. Since they will be exposed to gambling, they will not hire those addicted or prone to addiction because it could ruin their business later on, so your friend better be careful not to get caught.

Companies do not hire people who could potentially harm their company so even if these are gambling platform  the employees have ethics and guidelines to follow on how they should behave and act.

Most casinos don't allow their employees to gamble in their establishments. They'll fire the employee, least that's the way it is in the USA. Employees of the casino probably get bored as well of seeing the same shit over and over. For example, a blackjack dealer probably avoids blackjack if they do visit a casino because it will just remind them of their job.

I cannot say that an employee would never want to gamble, but I think they probably want to gamble less than the regular person.

It is possible to work in a casino or gambling house and never gamble.

There are individuals who work in bars, in places where alcohol is served, and these people do not drink alcohol; some, surprisingly, have never tasted it. There are some others who sell illegal drugs for recreational use to people but never use the drugs themselves. This is the same situation with people who work in casinos. Not everyone who works in a casino will become a gambler because some people are really not just interested in gambling, or rather, they are just interested in working to make their own money, and they find fun in other activities.

Of course it is. To gamble or not will depend on the individual's decision. A casino employee who is feeling tempted to gamble with his wage and tips received from customers should draw long term goals for his finances and keep focused on it. Check how much income is made monthly and then calculate how much should be splitted to each monthly expenses. The surplus can be used for entertainment purposes (where gambling may be included), although it's advisable to use the surplus for investment purposes, aiming passive income futurely.

Your friend needs determination, will and patience. He must understand how important and impacting it will be to not gamble with his wage to follow the strategy efficiently. On the other hand, if it doesn't make sense for him at all, I fear he won't succeed on the task of following behavioral patterns to stop the waste of money.

This is not true; it depends on the character of the individual. I've been betting on horseracing and lotto, and the people I met behind these betting platforms are responsible and are not into gambling. Maybe this is required by the betting company they are working for because you don't want to employ people who are very much into gambling, as they may be tempted to steal money from the cashier.

Working in a company requires an ethics about gambling. If you're friends is someone who does not have those ethics, then it's better that he look for another job or talk to his superiors and ask to be transferred to positions where he is not tempted to see gambling tables.

It is like working at a bar and not drinking. There are many people who don't drink when working at the bar and, in fact, those who drink don't last long.

I agree that maybe his friend is just making an excuse, but I don't completely agree with the fact that gambling or not when working in a casino is all dependent on the person's decision, so without knowing him I can't tell whether it is an excuse or not. Some people are more prone to keep a proper auto-control and others aren't, so it is your decision only to some extent.

I once thought of working in the casino but I have to consider that working in a casino would need me to keep off immoderate playing and that may be particularly challenging due to the almost everyday exposure to gambling activities, and i know it create strong temptations. Your friend's scenario might have this problem, because the attractiveness of gambling often will become overwhelming in such an surroundings like casino of course especially in physical casino. The suggestions like you mentioned of setting aside a part of his money and save the majority into savings is actually the best idea you can give as a friend, by separating uneccesary spending aside from his savings, he can for sure establish a financial management plus its a good investment too. A distant friend of mine who's also a former casino employee said that you need to established routines like gamble only after a certain time or with a set sum of money each day and with that it also can help manage impulses and manage discipline, plus utilizing budgeting equipment or apps to music spending and automatic savings transfers can further guide this attempt since his a employee.

So let me add this and as I whos someone knew a little about disorders due to my college course, seeking a professional help is what we always said for gambling addiction or any kind of addiction because it can provide additional strategies, built a support system and emotional guide that may help you or any of us along the way, and after that, engaging in alternative activities and interests can also help distract from you from gambling desires, whilst setting monetary dreams and tracking your progress can reinforce nice behavior. So with this in mind, combining these thoughts with your method to saving and managed playing can assist in dealing with the challenges of working in such an environment.

I think it is quite easy (it will be easy for me) to work in gambling industry and not gamble. A person, working there, will see how people easily and in short time looses their money. I think only from that they will have a resistant to gambling. And I think that a person that works for gambling industry will be fed up with it so much, that he wont even have a wish to try.

No, working in a casino does not force you to become a gambler. It is entirely down to the individual and if they have any sense to pick up what is happening around them: all they will be seeing is people walking in with money all day long and walking out with nothing. Working in a casino should be the most off putting experience that someone could ever receive when it comes to seeing what gambling really does. It's like people who work in fast food restaurants who eventually get so sick of the food they stop eating it. I have a friend who worked in a casino for a few years and he does not gamble, which is the opposite viewpoint to what you are suggesting. Your friend is simply weak willed and was probably predisposed to falling into a gambling addiction, where he worked did not help.

I have a friend who works in one of the most popular sports bet companies in my country and I've asked him how he copes with his gambling habit, being sorounded by bettors almost everyday. He told me that the whole staff of the bet company were prohibited from gambling, if they want to gamble, they'll secretly do so through none staff. When I heard it I realized that these gambling companies knows the implications of working in a gambling environment and how it can entice the workers to become addicted to gambling. I think that physical casino companies should also restrict their workers from gambling in the casinos where they work, it'll help reduce their chances of being addicted because they're always in the presence of gamblers.

Working in a casino and not gambling at all is all dependent on the person's decision.    I do not believe that a person can't regularly avoid gambling if he is working in the casino.  I agree that these gambling games are enticing but if we are firm not to gamble our earnings, we won't be gambling them  no matter how enticing the game is or how much our peers pressure us into playing.

Unless the company requires their employee to gamble a portion of their earnings, I do not think anyone can influence a person with firm stand of not gambling his salaries. 

At the end of the day I believe your friend is just making an excuse for him to gamble his salary.

Just the same way people who sell cigarettes don't smoke and people who sell drugs don't take the substances they sell to others, it's also the same thing for those that work in physical casinos, it's all based on choice and decisions..I have seen a lot of people working in bet shops and still won't place a bet even once..Take note some of these people are looking for monthly incomes just to sustain themselves, not everyone is interested in gambling so there's a possibility in that

Growing up, I knew some drug dealers in my neighborhood who never used drugs. I have also seen many workers in casinos who were not gamblers, but they were mainly females. In some cases, you need to be a gambler to be a good gambling staff. I think it will take a high level of discipline and determination to avoid the temptation of gambling as a casino staff. This is because you will be tempted by big wins by other gamblers and will want to bet. There might be some gamblers who always win, and you would want to bet using their predictions.

The best behavioral pattern should be budgeting. He should be able to allocate some part of his income to gambling and follow his budget judiciously. If he knows that he cannot control his gambling habit because of his place of work, he should consider looking for another job in another Industry. It would be unwise to gamble off all his earnings because of where he works.

Of course you can work in a casino and not gamble yourself. It's all about the will. Strong-willed people can't be tricked into doing something they don't want to. Weak personalities find excuses. I am sorry if it sounds harsh, but that's the way it is. Life is going to eat you alive if you can't control yourself. That includes your spending habits as well. It's like saying, how can I not smoke when I sell cigarettes at work. Or, how can I not be an alcoholic when my shop sells wine and vodka. Take control of your life and be the sole decision-maker who can't be influenced by unimportant outside forces and you will be all right.

Your friend is the best possible casino employee. Working at a casino and spending a part of his salary back in the casino. The casino owner must keep that guy at all cost. I think that most casino employees aren't active gamblers, because they can see that gambling can ruins people's lives. Most hardcore gamblers, who play at local casinos seem sick and old. Also working at a casino and playing gambling games could quickly become very boring. If I was working at a casino, I would definitely stay away from everything related to gambling in my free time. I would definitely have hobbies, that have nothing to do with gambling.

If he work in casino, he must have strong self control from desire to playing gambling. He will see many people comes to his work and playing gambling so he must not tempt by them and follow to playing gambling like them. He can work in a casino and not gambling and that can be done only if he can avoids the temptation of gambling.

He really needs to holds his passion to playing gambling although he knows that is not easy because he will meet different people who playing gambling and will see some of them wins different amount of money. Maybe after he finish his work at that day, he must immediately leave his work and not look at the gambling table. That is for avoiding his minds from thinking about gambling.

It's depend on himself how he wants to solve his problem. If he care with his family or himself, he will not trying to gambling and save his tips. I am sure he can do that but that will depends on himself.

I think this depends on person. If the casino's employee is self-disciplined and biased against gambling he will not be involved into  gambling at any casino including that one where he is employed. Moreover,  I know that casinos practice to employ people who work as the shills. Those people pretend to be  gamblers but many of them are not.

Have you ever seen a KFC employee eat the fried chicken while serving to other customers? A similar concept is applied here. The person needs to control himself. Moreover, if the person has responsibilities to look after and if he knows how dangerous gambling can be, then I am sure he will be limiting himself from gambling. The guy working in a casino must have also seen that people lose more and win less; hence, this will have motivated him further not to gamble.
