Yeah, it's unfair how gambling addicts are treated in relation to their counterparts like the alcohol addicts. They hardly get any stigma sticked on them like gamblers are being treated. However, it's common amongst societies that alcohol subsides given time compared to other addictions, and the person recovers after sleeping. But they fail to understand that all addiction is wrong. No need picking sides on which one has the most effect on the person. Gamblers suffer severe addiction due to this, the stigma on them is high and nobody is ready to listen. Those who take alcohol sometimes are being laughed at and the problem is forgotten. The gambler receives a frowning face from people around him. It's just the ancient tradition beliefs that gambling is bad.

People harness the believe and don't care a bit over the pains an addict undergoes. On the other hand, regardless of the treatment an addict foresees he'd get from his loved one, hiding his habit wouldn't help or solve a thing. He needs to open up when feeling any gambling challenge. A closed mouth is a closed destiny they say, if no one knows about the gambler's pains, he'll languish in the trouble for a longer period. Also comparing the treatment alcohol addicts gets to gambling addicts can't change their perspective. It's better the gambling addicts find a means of staying clear from the suffering. Instead of hiding from people, they can share the trouble with a loved one, whom they think will be of help.

If they have the way to share it from other people better doing so, instead of keeping that suffering which most of the time bring them to much deeper side of addiction, it's an own will decision to make things lighter, if you want to cure yourself you need to work and seek for help, it's no longer controllable if your addiction already in the high level, only matter for you is how to please your gambling and nothing else that encircling inside you, just keep pushing and keep playing around, it's unfair treatment but it' becuase of what you are jus showing, but if you start bring things out and start seeking for help.

People who still cares for you will be there, it's something that needed to begin from you and there should be that self-willingness and determination to quit your way from this situation.

My concern is about the gamblers who are not able to express their problems to the entire society or a loved one. But live the well-known life of an addict. And people are careless about recuperating their brains or thoughts. Generally, it's known that a player must be willing to be healed before responding to treatment. Yet communicating with the addicts who are not ready to change, can help reduce the period it'll consume for the player to redirect his thoughts to a better one. Neglecting them completely extends the period and makes the person act very strange. To the extent of hurting the society, he belongs to or finds himself in. It could be theft or selling of illicit items, for quick funds and wealth.

However, the goal of every gambler is never to get addicted or neglected when addicted. Hence, it would be wrong for a player after recovery to realize he was neglected on his worst days. I mean people should be approached if they choose not to reach out to us. Provided the person makes some moves showing he's in a psychological trauma. Effectively questioning his actions can help revitalize the person. Currently, lots of gamblers are forgotten by their loved ones. And when he does something bad, which everyone knows he would, they'll tag it on gambling. So, gradually calling to order those who are not willing to share their problems, still helps in building a serene or good environment.

But remember only to one person and not publicize it to the public eye because obviously most people view gambling as a bad activity and should be avoided because this will actually cause new problems where people's perspective on you might be negative because they know that you are involved in gambling activities, it is very likely to happen even though for example you are basically one of the responsible gamblers who are able to manage your gambling activities well.
Yes, at least someone who can be trusted to know our gambling habits because if too many people know it will only add to our own bad image. I also only entrust my wife to manage my gambling budget because by entrusting someone to know our gambling habits, we can it helps when we experience a gambling addiction, usually people who are addicted to gambling need someone to remind us and also make us aware of the gambling addiction itself, it is important not to hide from ourselves that we are a gambler from someone we can trust and is closest to.

Usually people who like to cover themselves up and don't trust those closest to them or someone to find out that they are gambling will usually experience a pretty bad end. I once had a friend who was quite secretive so not many people knew he was gambling, people even thought he was an employee. OK, but it turns out that after a case of his house being confiscated by the bank, it turns out that he was involved in gambling and has been addicted to gambling for a long time, which is why it is very important to tell someone so that they can remind us when we forget ourselves and play beyond our limits.

True as I said earlier that this is one of the techniques that is smart enough to save ourselves from the possibility of bad in the long run due to wrong gambling, on the other hand gambling has the nature of stimulating one's brain and mind that can weaken the level of consciousness in the self and this happens because of the many things that look tempting in gambling that basically most gamblers find it difficult to ignore such things when they are involved in gambling, This means that it is very possible for us to get sucked in and carried away without realizing it which leads to worse possibilities, and this is the reason why I suggest telling one of our closest people that we trust as you said, because they have a pretty important role in terms of rescue actions for our own good when we are sucked in and carried away without realizing it.

Yes and it seems that people who are very closed are those who do have an introverted life in the sense that they are usually always closed in whatever they do and don't want to be known by others at all and yes I can't imagine how bad the impact they will experience if they are basically involved in the wrong gambling activities. On the other hand like the incident you told here about your friend who never told anyone about his involvement in gambling which eventually he had to lose his house, therefore I think telling one of our closest people whoever we trust is a good idea for prevention.

The better for us to keep our gambling activities secret will help us to look more responsible without any doubt. Since there are people that see people that gamble a lot as unserious, we need to keep making sure that not every one knows about us to gamblers. It is better for us to keep our gambling activities safe from the public than to look more into gambling in the public. Children are one of the reasons why we need to make sure that we don't gamble too much and we make sure that our gambling activities is sure and prevented from the children if not, we are going to lose more than in reputable to our children.
If you decide to keep your gambling activities secret, you must have a good responsible and self-control to protect yourself from the temptations of the gambling games because gambling can attracts yourself to playing gambling longer than you can thinks. You will forget about the rules that you already makes because you see gambling becomes more interesting and you thinks you have a chance to wins in the next rounds, but that's still not gives you the wins. When you can responsible when you playing gambling, you can hide your gambling activity from other people so you will not have to gets a bad saying from them. Yes, taking away children from the gambling is hard but that is what we must do to prevented our children from the bad impact of the gambling games.

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.
In the digital age, gambling has altered but not its essence. With their tempting marketing and minimal entrance barriers, online casinos appeal to human impulse and desire. Let's face it—the house always wins, online or offline. The platform's control illusion is the problem

The risk of online gambling is hidden by its convenience. The mechanics of human behavior matter, not the media. The perceived accessibility and anonymity increase temptation, not the game. But the result? Same often. Online casinos mirror the risks of real casinos in a more personal, possibly more deadly setting

Physical or online casinos? Just a preference. The basic bet? Unchanged. Understanding the game and our reactions is more important than the location. Recognizing both platforms' traps and deciding if the game is worth the risk

Online casinos and physical casinos have the same thing, the advantage that the host has is certain because in my opinion it has become a condition that has been set and cannot be changed. by holding bonus advertisements and promotions whose aim is to attract the interest of many people so that they gamble and with so many people gambling there will be profits that can be generated and obtained by the host. In my opinion, online casinos or physical casinos are the same, if we do it too much then bad things will happen.

Some people like to show off their winnings from gambling, but in my opinion this should not be done, even though it is everyone's right, but prevention is better than cure. When I show off the wins we get, in my opinion it can cause conflict, or something else, I hope we can play cleanly, by gambling secretly, including the winnings we get, just keep quiet and enjoy it.
First, the house edge in online and physical casinos is the gaming industry's foundation. Business 101: the house always wins. Why? They make their money that way, and most players who are there for fun understand it.

The incentives and promotions? Brilliant marketing. They're well-planned methods to keep business growing and players coming. Having a little fun within your means is thrilling in entertainment culture.

I get it - everyone wants their moment in the sun. Your point is that caution is crucial. Play smart and keep the peace - not spoil the fun. Party modestly and enjoy your accomplishment without provoking jealousy or strife. Gambling is about having fun, so be responsible. Keep it fun and within your bounds.

What about people who go to offline casinos then? They seems to care little about privacy, as security cameras are all around. Or people who place bets using mobile while being on the sports event. They dont hide mobile screens, and with enough luck, anyone could observe what they do. Providers knows every time someone enters a gambling page.

When people try to keep their gambling habit as a secret, I think they do it because they are afraid of shy to give honest answer how much they have won or lost if they are asked. Otherwise I see no reason why to keep it in a secret. If someone asks me if I gamble, I would tell yes. If I find out or know that someone gambles, my attitude wont change a bit towards him. It is his business and adult can do everything he wants.

I think it depends on each individual. If they are really ignorant people, maybe they will do what they like as long as it doesn't harm other people, they will still do it, but if you gamble in a public place, it can be seen from the country that allows or does not allow gambling, if in that country gambling is not allowed. but they gamble openly as you said, maybe they are ready for the risks related to the law, or maybe they are not afraid of what will happen next.

I would be embarrassed if other people knew about the gambling activities I was doing, even if it was a win. because in my country gambling is prohibited, but that is not an obstacle or barrier, the proof is that there are still many people who gamble online, some even do it while broadcasting live because they want to increase their income from the many people who watch it, and there have been no cases of arrests. fast with those who gamble by broadcasting live broadcasts. Everyone has different thoughts, therefore we can do whatever we want, but the note is that what we do should not harm other people. that's what you have to remember.

Gambling in a country where it is illegal, or when a person is underaged is one thing. The other thing is when gambling is legal, you are free to do it whenever or wherever you want. In general you do nothing bad. But, some people still want to keep it in secret. I would understand if you win millions and want to hide that fact from family or dont want to pay taxes. But there are people who gamble, lets say once a month. They place $10, while they earn several thousands monthly. And they hide fact of gambling. Why do they do that?
I wonder why people often take things as a big deal, it should not always be like that unless for other genuine reasons. In the first place, gambling is not a serious investment means or plan, so why take it as if someone would wreck you if they knew you gamble? Secondly, it is never easy to gamble and make money, so telling them that you win at times may not amount to something serious in my thoughts because no one knows the next time you will win again, it might even take months, so there is no serious reason why we should take it as if it is our crypto wallet. From another school of thought, it will be a good decision if one can still keep it due to the bad circle he keeps. Anyone can have their reason based on the friends they keep, the family they have, and the community they are in, letting out such may not be so good as it could be a serious security threat to let them know about it, especially if the person gains often.

Lastly, some people might not be responsible in their gambling lifestyle, so they are keeping it to avoid shame. But instead of doing that, why not strive harder to be a responsible gambler? That's the only way proud gambling can be made. And if it is a stereotypical kind of situation in your locality, you may hide it. But in the absence of that, I urge such people to work towards a responsible gambling and personal lifestyle and do their thing the way they want without so much care about what people would say about them.

That is what I've been talking. Instead of hiding, show what you do, so in case there are troubles, people can help you. I dont understand those who hide their gambling habit. Are they shy? Are they afraid what society will think about them? Gambling has received bad reputation for nothing, compared to other addictions. When people lose in gambling, other think negatively about gambler, like he is a looser. When people win, others also thing negatively about gambling, because they envy. I have never hidden fact that I gamble. From early childhood I have learned, that whenever I try to hide something I do, to lie, to cheat, it always ends bad.
It is extremely bold and great that you have chosen to be honest about your gaming activities. It's not an easy task, considering the ongoing stigma associated with gambling. I believe that many people are afraid of being judged or disgraced if they are open about their gambling habits, which is sad. But I believe you are correct in saying that it is preferable to be upfront and honest than to try to hide a fact about your life. In the long term, honesty and transparency will result in a happier and more satisfying life.

I have never hidden fact that I gamble. From early childhood I have learned, that whenever I try to hide something I do, to lie, to cheat, it always ends bad.

I don't see anything wrong with gambling so why should I hide it, the only problem I have with those gamblers is when they get too greedy and they are so focused and giving gambling too much attention that they end up seeing it as a job. addicts have made a lot of reckless decisions just because they want to win. instead of getting an actual job, they are busy gambling and that is something I despise so much with addicts.

i would not say people who hide are shy I think they are ashamed to be called a gambler and if you are above 18 and you are gambling moderately then there is nothing to be ashamed of just watch games and gamble the ones you are interested in and enjoy your life. you can choose to gamble during weekends. when you are not working purely for fun. why other think negatively is because of what some people went through because of gambling, some people even lost there life and there property, and way people are thinking negatively they are just trying to be careful nothing more.
There are indeed people who are really that mindful with their reputation or status in the community or even just that on the looks of other people on which we do know that when it comes in overall reputation of gambling
within the community does really have that negative thing, then it would be normal that there would really be those individuals that will really be seeing something like this and to those people who have been attached to this or making some involvement would really be also getting that kind of negative perceptions and views just because he/she been dealing with it. Some might care but there are ones who dont really care.

When it comes on making it as a secret then it would really be on someones choice because just like been said that they are really that minding about into their reputation on which they dont like about other people
seeing bad on them or automatically considered as gambling addicts just because they've seen that they've been dealing or doing gambling. Gambling should really just that for fun and if you
are someone whose really that messing up your life on it then this is where shit things do start to happen.
This is actually true on which there are people who do get ashamed on what other people would be seeing on them.They dont really like that being having that kind of gambler addicted
person kind of view towards them and this is why they would really be deciding to play up in silent or privately even myself would really be doing that of course specially i dont tend
to share it up or make my family knows that im playing gambling. In todays tech and accessibility then it would really be that so easy to determine on whose the ones been involved with
gambling because you could really be able to play in the convenience of your own mobile phone and wouldnt really be noticed up by someone that you are actually playing.

When I was young, I tried to hide my gambling habit from everyone. My family is secular. But even they were worried about my gambling habit. Then when they realized that I was just doing it for fun, they accepted it as normal. I think gambling is a normal thing and I don't need to be ashamed of it. It's not something shameful like theft, extortion, rape. I don't understand why they put gambling in the same category. If an adult does something voluntarily and it doesn't harm anyone else, it shouldn't matter what other people say.

Totally support your point of view. If we do not know the reason why a person close to us has become less sociable, more irritable, has taken out loans that he is unable to pay from his salary, then we will lose valuable time to find out the reasons for such behavior. If we know that a person close to us is gambling, we can immediately help him.

I don't hide my gambling either, but there is one exception. I try not to let my children see me gambling.   
This might be a good reason not to hide gambling but I don't think gambling should be disclosed to others because when people know about your gambling then if you ask someone to borrow money then no one will want to lend you money. because they will think that you are taking a loan for gambling and you cannot afford to pay back the money if you lose gambling. So I always recommend keeping the gambling habit hidden from everyone

If we do not know the reason why a person close to us has become less sociable, more irritable, has taken out loans that he is unable to pay from his salary, then we will lose valuable time to find out the reasons for such behavior. If we know that a person close to us is gambling, we can immediately help him.

I don't hide my gambling either, but there is one exception. I try not to let my children see me gambling.

If you are referring to the possibility of problems then yes hiding it will only make it difficult for us to seek help from others, but I think this is not a big problem because basically you can tell one of your closest people like a friend for example that you have a problem in gambling, it is not a problem to tell one person, and I am also like that, or I mean I hide but not to one of my closest friends. And obviously overall of course would advise anyone to better hide their gambling activities from the public eye except one of your friends, because I think it is a fact that gambling has a pretty bad point of view in the eyes of society due to the bad effects experienced by irresponsible addicts, so this can make people claim that you are someone who has a bad personality because you are involved in gambling if you publicize it to many people, and this can eliminate people's trust in you in any case.

On the other hand, we have to look at the context in which you need to hide something from people, because if it's for a good cause such as avoiding people claiming you're a bad person for being an irresponsible gambler then I think there's nothing wrong with that, and the other thing is that I understand that lying is bad behavior but hiding something doesn't necessarily mean you're lying.


Talking about our gambling activities or problems to those closest to us might be better. at least the people we meet every day. but some people will think about staying away from us because they don't want to be involved in the gambling problems that we experience. and it's better if we don't involve other people as much as possible.
If we have a gambling problem, it is important to share it and get support from those closest to us. it saves us from stress and pressure when it comes to addiction and financial issues. ask for advice from other people who know you.

Yes, it is allowed and not a problem if we only tell one friend who is very close to us who might be called a true friend, because after all we have a lot of time together with them that sometimes we exchange stories and give advice or solutions to each other and of course their presence will be able to really help us because we can tell the problems we are experiencing in gambling which indirectly it can make us a little relieved and as you said it can be useful to save us from stress due to the many pressures of gambling problems.

But remember only to one person and not publicize it to the public eye because obviously most people view gambling as a bad activity and should be avoided because this will actually cause new problems where people's perspective on you might be negative because they know that you are involved in gambling activities, it is very likely to happen even though for example you are basically one of the responsible gamblers who are able to manage your gambling activities well.

Its wise and practical to hide your gambling from everyone except a close friend. Very smart. Lets be kind to those in difficult situations, yet society hates gambling. Its a vice and a problem that wont go away soon.
The society we find ourselves have successfully painted gambling to be a vice, while it might be meaningful not to have all our dealings known to the public, it shouldn’t be banked on the notion that the gambling is a menace to society. Let’s not forget, this is a space of freewill and it’s even hot age restrictions but still, you’re responsible for your own gambling habits.

While we might consider it unwise to make known to public notice our gambling habits, you obviously gets exposed in the event of a big win and in events of Drake’s huge losses, those ain’t no secrete and he doesn’t care. This makes me to believe it’s a place in time where we find ourselves and even with that knowledge, I still don’t subscribe to letting your gambling habits exposed to the public.

That is what I've been talking. Instead of hiding, show what you do, so in case there are troubles, people can help you. I dont understand those who hide their gambling habit. Are they shy? Are they afraid what society will think about them? Gambling has received bad reputation for nothing, compared to other addictions. When people lose in gambling, other think negatively about gambler, like he is a looser. When people win, others also thing negatively about gambling, because they envy. I have never hidden fact that I gamble. From early childhood I have learned, that whenever I try to hide something I do, to lie, to cheat, it always ends bad.

Lets clarify: hiding isnt lying. Be strategic about who you trust with your personal issues. When your reputation is your greatest asset, safeguarding it makes sense. This goes beyond avoiding judgment. Understand human nature and know when and where to seek aid. Privacy and discretion are important in gambling. While not everyone needs to know your business, the perfect confidant can make all the difference. Its about information management, not lying.
