I agree with you that we have our own ways and thoughts, therefore of course we will definitely not do everything the same. including gambling, there are those who like physical casinos and there are those who like online casinos, that's each individual's wish. What you say is correct, even though these two things have differences, the games tend to be the same, but now I think more people are playing online casinos, because you can do it anywhere you want as long as you have the facilities such as cellphones and the internet. but I don't know, maybe there are still many people who gamble at physical casinos.

with the existence of this online casino, many people gamble online because there are tempting advertisements, also with a low minimum deposit it can be reached by everyone, because in my opinion in online casinos there may be a certain limit on the deposit, and maybe it is quite high the amount.
Even though it doesn't work for you, if the casino wants it, there's probably no way to refuse it, because we're just players who can't change anything the casino sets.

Yes, things tend to be like this, of course each person has their own tastes, there are some gamblers who have a lot of money and do not leave their physical casinos, when you talk to them about online casinos they do not believe in them and they don't even play there for nothing. think that the gaming system is the same, but it differs in that a physical casino can make friends, you interact with people, it is another type of experience, so this is all we have to see, however when we are In a physical casino you must play and not stop, it is not like the Online casino that if Any event arises you stop and go and attend to that event and then continue playing in the same place where you left off.

The advantage of an online casino is that things are better because there are other types of freedoms, for the most introverted it is ideal, the bad thing is that now there are a series of requirements that no one finds pleasant, such as KYC , like that because if you don't comply with the KYC or you can withdraw money, that is something that is not healthy for some and that bothers, in the physical casino things are not like that, and obviously in an online casino people don't see you, there is something more privacy.

That's true, in my opinion, physical casinos and online casinos are most likely the same way the games work or something else, but the difference is that in physical casinos there is a possibility that we can make new friends and also be able to socialize or see other people gambling with different amounts. as usual and many other things. with online casinos we only play individually, even though there are notifications that sometimes flash on the screen such as "(account name) has succeeded in getting a jackpot of this amount" which I often encounter when I do online casino gambling.

Sometimes I think online casinos are suitable for those who really like being alone or as you said, but there are also negatives with online casinos. With so many online casinos now, we can't tell which casinos are trustworthy and which are fraudulent, whereas to prove that a casino is trustworthy or the best, we have to try it first. However, for both of them, in my opinion, there are similarities in the need to keep gambling activities secret, whether in a physical casino or online, because there are people who don't like gambling and there could be conflict.

Different reasons. Lots of it.
Some are trying to hide it from their wives. Some from their parents. Some are too shy to tell other people that they gamble. Others do like to keep their privacy intact.
We cannot judge a gambler by what he is doing, there could be a deeper reason on why he is keeping it a secret.
IMO, I don't really care what people will talk about. They can gossip all they like until they lose their voices but I will still continue gambling and won't be shy about it.
I never kept it to my wife, she knows it and she also knows that I won't go far as being an addict. So why should I be ashamed outside while the people living in my roof already knew about it?
That's only natural, because everyone has their own perceptions and thoughts. Most people must have bad thoughts about gambling so it is not wrong to hide the gambling activities carried out. Because in my opinion it is also better to keep it a secret than to publish it, including the winnings too, if we get a win and publish it there are probably people who will not like it like our own friends.
There must be people talking about us from behind about what we do, because even in a friendship environment I am sure there are prejudices that our friends have against us, indeed they can comment until they run out of votes about what we do, but in my opinion if the gambling we do is not detrimental to others then just do it, I will also do it if it does not harm others.
Making gambling public can also affect the family.  It will have a big impact especially on the children of the family.  Because the child will try it with enthusiasm and become addicted to it  And if gambling is not kept hidden, there are many other problems to face.  And if there is a big win from gambling, that should be kept hidden, otherwise someone may be in danger for that too.  Gambling is not a good habit so making it public will only cause problems and not bring anything good.

I agree, children should be free from all addictions, they are very curious, when they see parents who play in the casino they will want to do the same and if they don't let them they will look for a way to do it, that's why things always They must be done with great care, when there are children, the activities shown must be very careful, it is something very delicate.

The case of children is always something very delicate, they are people who do not understand the risks very well, they see it only as a fun game and if they see that the parents do it and enjoy it, they want to feel that experience, then it is It is better in that case to keep it a secret and later if you talk to them about the games because in the same way on the Internet when they are browsing they will come across that advertising, so it is better for them to know it.
Right, Children do not have a potential decision making capacity they always follow their parents and seniors and such activities are installed in them.  For this not only the family but if there is a prevalence of other bad addictions including gambling in the neighborhood or in the society, then a child focuses on those things and such activities are installed in them, so for children to grow well, the environment of the society including the family must be good and gambling and other  Bad addictions must be freed

  Most times I feel like the reason they keep thier gambling addiction to thier self is cause of shame, some people don’t have the courage to tell others how much they have lost. They prefer to wallow it down to their self, living in regret and disappointment. When guilt starts kicking in, it may lead to depression or even turn suicidal in the worst case. It is not a shame to speak up to someone to talk about your vulnerability. The best outcome usually comes when you talk to a third party. The bettor also needs to do himself a favor by being disciplined to resist it urge of coming bank. Be prepared to deal with relapses as it will happen treat it as a learning moment, but be honest and try to avoid the situation in the future. It not an easy step though but one has to do all that is necessary to avoid going back.
  If necessary stay off anything gambling, discipline yourself to stay off gambling for a year or even more it your choice, if you can’t beat the compulsive habit then you shouldn’t involve in gambling. one has to to be strongly determined to quit an addiction that is unproductive and sucking one’s time, money & energy. Studies have shown that sports or even games can help cheer up the mood and increase the will power that you need to achieve to quit an addiction. Also Being alone and being lonely are not the same . Enjoy the company of your friends . Also read some books when you are alone. It takes the boredom away .
Maybe that's their reason or they have the other reason why they keep hiding their gambling activity from the other people but some people feel not comfortable telling other people about their gambling activity. They thinks that it's better to still keep their gambling activity secret so they can playing gambling without any one talks many things about their habits. If they thinks that they don't have courage to tells others how much money they have lost, they will not have a chance to limits their gambling activity because the other people will not know what they do and what problems they have. But yes, that can gives an impact such as depression because they see their loss increase and they can't gets winning.

From what they do, sooner or later, they can't thinks clear about what they should do related to their gambling activity. They will drag to the gambling deeper and can't gets out from their habits. That's why they must have a will to tells others about their gambling activity so other people can help them immediately and they can gets the right solution. For people who doesn't gets any problems in gambling yet, must realizes that they don't have to use gambling too often. They must discipline themselves, learning self-control, and do other activities so their minds is not just thinks about gambling but they can thinks about the other things that can fills their free time besides of playing gambling.

Personally, I think that gambling or not everyone decides for himself, but to hide it, at least from your closest people is not the best solution. In addition, very often it turns out that the people around you know more about you than you imagine.

It is difficult to ask for a helping hand when you hide from the closest people that you play gambling. It is not that hard to become a gambling addict. If you ask any gambling addict how he got into such a situation, it is very likely that he will either not admit that he has any problems, or will say that he does not understand how it happened.   
I agree with you on that.
Those who are closest to us must at least know what is happening. I have been occasionally playing casino games this week because I felt like I was getting addicted to it. My wife knew about it and she is the one who told me that I had been in front of the computer for longer periods than before. That made me realize that something must be wrong with me.
That's a good thing for me, a warning from another person. Some would perceive this as a bad intention but for me, it's a good one. That just means they care for us and they don't want us to end up being addicted to what we are doing. Gambling or games, it doesn't matter, we must be responsible for what we are doing and if it eating a lot of our time instead of doing something else then it's bad.
Keep it a secret with your neighbors but never with the people you are living with. They will be the ones who will notice if something is wrong and they will be ready to tell us anything without any hesitation. That's to save us, not to step on us.

My privacy, my right.
March 19, 2024, 05:38:05 PM
Indeed, one of the important things is the secrecy of the fact that you won the jackpot. But it seems that some establishments oblige you to undergo de-anonymization upon receipt in order to advertise more the name of their casino. Then all classmates, work colleagues and acquaintances will say that they knew this guy, and will think that luck is near them and will start playing. But if it came to the jackpot, then I think almost everyone would agree to take it, despite the fact that we were shown on TV.

It turns out to be a rather funny situation when people around us say that we shouldn’t play because playing is dangerous for the wallet, but as soon as we win the jackpot, everyone takes their words back, I saw something similar with my friends.
Of course as the popular saying goes, "success has so many families but poverty is an orphan", no one will want to associate with failure, but people deem to forget that it is from many steps of failure that success is achieved. It's left for the gambler in this case to gamble responsibly because eventually when a  jackpot win comes along even his critic's will come back with a warm embrace to share in. We see that happening  now and then.

Indeed, everyone can do whatever they like, even though it may be against the law, but if they like it then they will probably still do it. and even though gambling is prohibited in their country, if they are addicted then it is very likely that they will do it secretly, because it is their hobby so they will definitely do it even though it is against the law. and even so, there are some of them who keep it a secret and there are also those who publish it.

Personally, in my opinion, it is best to keep the gambling we do as a secret, even though it is permitted in the country, but in my opinion it will only waste money and of course, in that way, there is a possibility that small, potentially big problems could arise. It is also better to keep the winnings obtained in gambling a secret, keep quiet and enjoy it in a good way, it is okay to treat a friend and tell them where the winnings came from, as long as our friend can fully understand, so that no conflict will occur.
I think that each of us has our way of thinking and our way of coping with things, those that they want to keep secret because they know that this will not lead to problems, in my case very particularly a few years ago the games of chance, casinos and betting were totally prohibited, and that had been going on for more than 20 years, after this the government removed that law that was really retrograde, of course where the government always receives a large money for allowing casinos to operate in the country , but at that time my way of playing was through online casinos, and that was something different , the experience is different from what you have in a physical casino, but basically things with their game systems are the same, The difference is that an online casino can be played from home comfortably or from a phone, PC or tablet.

For me these things are very important, because I consider that a country that prohibits games of chance the only way out is online casinos, if online casinos Start to prohibit those countries due to their regulatory resolutions thanks to the most countries power of the world is something that will never make sense to me.

I agree with you that we have our own ways and thoughts, therefore of course we will definitely not do everything the same. including gambling, there are those who like physical casinos and there are those who like online casinos, that's each individual's wish. What you say is correct, even though these two things have differences, the games tend to be the same, but now I think more people are playing online casinos, because you can do it anywhere you want as long as you have the facilities such as cellphones and the internet. but I don't know, maybe there are still many people who gamble at physical casinos.

I think keeping your status as a gambler a secret is really a wise choice. Of course, there are still many people who cannot control their emotions when gambling. Then they start to destroy their lives and have an effect on their family and those closest to them. I think that's why gambling is illegal in some countries and many religious laws strictly prohibit gambling. Maybe gambling is not the cause of addiction because it is a behavior that arises from a person, not from activities such as gambling. But the problem is that there are so many irresponsible gamblers who spend a lot of money gambling and ruin their finances and they are insulted by their families because of their stupidity. So I think there's a lot to consider here.

Privacy is something we don't keep on check if not gambling whether you are gambler or you are not a gambler, you are not supposed to tell people that you gamble, you might ruin your relationship with some people as you don't know some people belief with gambling or even in a place where you work. Some companies don't like to see their workers involved in gambling and that's because of the inherent characteristics in gambling, they think gambling makes one lose focus and don't take their job serious and that's true in some cases.

Another reason why gambling should be secret within you is that you don't know who might be top off when you win a jackpot, we have seen scenarios where friends kill each other because the other won a big cashout from gambling and how did that happen? That's because he informed everyone that he won money from gambling, it should be buried within you and not everyone should know about it for safety reasons.

Bad habits like gambling must be kept secret in order to protect the social reputation. In the case of jobs, the matter is different because serious addictions like gambling must be hidden in the job sector or the department must be held accountable for gambling. Moreover, if an employee who is addicted to gambling becomes open to everyone about his gambling habits, his self-esteem will definitely be damaged in front of his colleagues.
On the other hand, the privacy of gambling must be maintained in the family, especially the family members who are addicted to gambling are socially looked down upon and distanced from them in various social culture and events.
If the environment where we live views gambling habits as a bad thing, of course we have to keep our gambling habits a secret, because if they find out about these habits, of course this will have a bad impact on us and they will also see us as people who should be avoided because our gambling habits and if they have an open habit about the gambling they do of course they must first see whether their environment views gambling as normal or not and if the environment does not like gambling of course they must be able to keep their gambling habits a secret.

Yes of course we have to be able to adjust to the situation and the environment we are in, I think the negative view of gambling does not only occur in one or a few places but this is overall which means that most people's view of gambling is negative which in turn makes them doubt or distrust people who are involved in gambling, no matter if you for example are one of the responsible gamblers but still sometimes people will stick to their own conclusions even though you have explained and tried to convince them that you are still fine even though you are involved in gambling.

On the other hand, it may be true that most people in your environment will avoid you or even cut off socialization with you because they are afraid of being adversely affected so they decide to limit socialization with you, and this can certainly make it difficult for you in some ways such as for example people around you are reluctant to help you when you are in an urgent situation such as needing fast funds to overcome the problems you are facing. So of course I agree with the idea that you are better off keeping your gambling habits a secret from society, regardless of whether you are a responsible gambler, and I also think it's a good precaution to take even if you don't know whether your neighborhood has a good or bad view of gambling.

So far I havent seen any science proof that gambling raises addiction, but not human predisposition on being addicted on things. Replace addiction with something else, and those who were addicted to gambling will also be addicted to new thing. Give a person a way to get money quickly and easy, and he will get addicted to that method. If people will get rewarded for every word or book they have read for example, they will get addicted to reading. What then, we would all suggest to keep reading in secret?

This is human nature that if you do anything in excess and you are interested in it, it will become an addiction. Some addictions may be good but most of the addictions are bad and gambling addiction is a worse thing as a gambling addict will keep on spending and losing money in gambling and hence it will just create more and more problems for him.

If people will get rewarded for every word or book they have read for example, they will get addicted to reading. What then, we would all suggest to keep reading in secret?

This is same that a person who is involved in drugs and we advise him to keep on taking drugs but secretly  Cheesy
Doing a bad thing or developing a habit that is not good for oneself will harm you no matter if you do it openly or hiddenly. A person gambling hiddenly still loses money and it won't remain a hidden fact that he lost in gambling. Eventually his family friends will come to know that he is a gambling addict.

The case of children is always something very delicate, they are people who do not understand the risks very well, they see it only as a fun game and if they see that the parents do it and enjoy it, they want to feel that experience, then it is It is better in that case to keep it a secret and later if you talk to them about the games because in the same way on the Internet when they are browsing they will come across that advertising, so it is better for them to know it.
Yes, it's true that it's useless to hide any gambling from children when they ask about gambling or accidentally see our gambling activities, it's best to just explain it well and don't say it's a fun game because we all know that children like fun games. It's best to say that it's a risky game and explain the bad effects of playing a game like that or give a reasonable explanation so that children don't try to play it, let alone ask questions like that. The thing to worry about is that when they're outside the house, it's clear they could gambling without our knowledge.

It is important to keep our gambling habits a secret from our children. As much as possible, never gamble when your children are not asleep, it is best to gamble when they are asleep because they are worried that seeing our gambling activities will be very fatal, even though maybe one day they will see an advertisement on social media. media or YouTube there are gambling advertisements and they ask, it's better to explain it ourselves, don't let other people explain it, which ends up being a misunderstanding that makes them not understand and try gambling.

If you make your gambling public, I don't think anyone have anything to do about that because you are not using people money to gamble, but if you are heading any organization and people see you gamble, they will think you are using the organization money to gamble and it will put such person job for trouble.

As far as you’re concerned, gambling is harmful and yet you promote them?
Just how do you promote a harmful sphere to the a society that you wish and hope to be stable someday?

Like you said, as far as you’re concerned.

Well, obviously the society doesn’t take to one man’s concern, a whole lot is been put into consideration but yeah, it’s not uncommon that several persons and the society have seen gambling for a vice. Based on how some addicts and irresponsible gamblers have misused the industry.

The negative aspect to gambling is a reflection of a gambler's irresponsible act while gambling. Gambling isn’t the problem but, the gambler is.

Finally someone has seen the light while many are still blind.

So far I havent seen any science proof that gambling raises addiction, but not human predisposition on being addicted on things. Replace addiction with something else, and those who were addicted to gambling will also be addicted to new thing. Give a person a way to get money quickly and easy, and he will get addicted to that method. If people will get rewarded for every word or book they have read for example, they will get addicted to reading. What then, we would all suggest to keep reading in secret?

Imho illegal things should be kept in secret. But since or if gambling is legal in your place, I see no reason to do it privately, hidden, alone with closed down curtains Grin

Having an addiction depends on the category we are interested in, in my opinion, meaning that gambling is only a tool for a person to have an addiction, but everyone who tries the casino to gamble is called a gambler, and if it's drugs or cocaine, drug addicts are drug addicts, and others are playing live streaming poetry of Dota, etc.

And let's just remember that there are other categories that are really prohibited by all countries, such as drugs, cocaine, and sometimes even marijuana. What is my point? In all addictions, when there is too much, the result is not really good unless the one you choose is good for everything we do. Now, if we think it's not good for children to see us playing gambling online or physically, we do it because we don't want them to learn to gamble at a young age, so we hide it secretly because we also can't stop ourselves.

Many people decides to hide their gambling activity from the other people because they thinks that's the better thing to do as the other people doesn't like gambling. The other people thinks that gamblers can't control themselves and if someone is gamblers, he can related to alcohol and smoke because that's what happen to them in the offline casino. But some people can masters a good self-control so that will not gives impacts to them when they playing gambling because they knows that gambling is only an entertainment in their spare times. They will not playing gambling excessively because they already sees what's happen to other people so they always trying to limits their gambling activity. They also hide their gambling activity from other people because that's what makes them comfortable when playing gambling.
  Most times I feel like the reason they keep thier gambling addiction to thier self is cause of shame, some people don’t have the courage to tell others how much they have lost. They prefer to wallow it down to their self, living in regret and disappointment. When guilt starts kicking in, it may lead to depression or even turn suicidal in the worst case. It is not a shame to speak up to someone to talk about your vulnerability. The best outcome usually comes when you talk to a third party. The bettor also needs to do himself a favor by being disciplined to resist it urge of coming bank. Be prepared to deal with relapses as it will happen treat it as a learning moment, but be honest and try to avoid the situation in the future. It not an easy step though but one has to do all that is necessary to avoid going back.
  If necessary stay off anything gambling, discipline yourself to stay off gambling for a year or even more it your choice, if you can’t beat the compulsive habit then you shouldn’t involve in gambling. one has to to be strongly determined to quit an addiction that is unproductive and sucking one’s time, money & energy. Studies have shown that sports or even games can help cheer up the mood and increase the will power that you need to achieve to quit an addiction. Also Being alone and being lonely are not the same . Enjoy the company of your friends . Also read some books when you are alone. It takes the boredom away .

The social stigma around gambling and some other habits in some cultures are really strong.  It's true that many cultures views Gambling as something that should be kept secret, and people who gamble are often viewed negatively, but they fail to realize that not everyone who gambles are irresponsible gamblers or addicts. This social stigma is also very much associated with people who smokes too, most societies often view smokers as evil or negative influences, regardless of whether they're responsible smokers or not, because they believe it's a habit that portrays bad manner

I think keeping your status as a gambler a secret is really a wise choice. Of course, there are still many people who cannot control their emotions when gambling. Then they start to destroy their lives and have an effect on their family and those closest to them. I think that's why gambling is illegal in some countries and many religious laws strictly prohibit gambling. Maybe gambling is not the cause of addiction because it is a behavior that arises from a person, not from activities such as gambling. But the problem is that there are so many irresponsible gamblers who spend a lot of money gambling and ruin their finances and they are insulted by their families because of their stupidity. So I think there's a lot to consider here.

Different reasons. Lots of it.
Some are trying to hide it from their wives. Some from their parents. Some are too shy to tell other people that they gamble. Others do like to keep their privacy intact.
We cannot judge a gambler by what he is doing, there could be a deeper reason on why he is keeping it a secret.
IMO, I don't really care what people will talk about. They can gossip all they like until they lose their voices but I will still continue gambling and won't be shy about it.
I never kept it to my wife, she knows it and she also knows that I won't go far as being an addict. So why should I be ashamed outside while the people living in my roof already knew about it?
That's only natural, because everyone has their own perceptions and thoughts. Most people must have bad thoughts about gambling so it is not wrong to hide the gambling activities carried out. Because in my opinion it is also better to keep it a secret than to publish it, including the winnings too, if we get a win and publish it there are probably people who will not like it like our own friends.
There must be people talking about us from behind about what we do, because even in a friendship environment I am sure there are prejudices that our friends have against us, indeed they can comment until they run out of votes about what we do, but in my opinion if the gambling we do is not detrimental to others then just do it, I will also do it if it does not harm others.
Making gambling public can also affect the family.  It will have a big impact especially on the children of the family.  Because the child will try it with enthusiasm and become addicted to it  And if gambling is not kept hidden, there are many other problems to face.  And if there is a big win from gambling, that should be kept hidden, otherwise someone may be in danger for that too.  Gambling is not a good habit so making it public will only cause problems and not bring anything good.

I agree, children should be free from all addictions, they are very curious, when they see parents who play in the casino they will want to do the same and if they don't let them they will look for a way to do it, that's why things always They must be done with great care, when there are children, the activities shown must be very careful, it is something very delicate.

The case of children is always something very delicate, they are people who do not understand the risks very well, they see it only as a fun game and if they see that the parents do it and enjoy it, they want to feel that experience, then it is It is better in that case to keep it a secret and later if you talk to them about the games because in the same way on the Internet when they are browsing they will come across that advertising, so it is better for them to know it.
