Just don't get caught because it will not be a good ending for you and no amount of explanation and persuasion can make your employer or senior colleagues agree with you on that reason.
It's absolutely wrong for someone who's employed to do a particular job by a particular firm to be gambling during working time and if for any reason he's relieved of his duties after the employer finds out about his gambling engagements during working hours, I think the best to do in other to save sack him for his unprofessionalism. To everything there's a time and for an employee to engage in gambling activities during working hours, it simply means he's not actually serious with work and such a person I think deserves to be sacked without waiting for any sort lf explanation to justify his action
It is wrong as you have noted. When you work and gamble, you must lose focus on the job.
The "must" you used is what actually attracted me in your sentence and I strongly disagree with it as used. Three factors are important here which are 1). The nature of the job and 2). The time of gambling, and 3). The nature of the gambler.

Depending on the job, many workers have enough time to do whatever they want to do whether the thing is useful or not, and if they do not gamble at that time, they might even possibly be idle for hours doing nothing. Gambling that time and with that nature of work will never make you lose focus. Of course, unless you are an addict who gambles anyhow which is a different context entirely.

But so long as the gambler is wise and responsible himself, this is not an issue as he would know the right time to gamble and when not to. However, if you are such that gambling is affecting your focus at work, then quit it, but should not be treated as a basis for everyone, especially those who know how to handle themselves well.

Quote
Gambling can affect emotion whether a gambler is winning or not. When you are winning, you become excited and want to continue gambling and when you are losing you become sad and then you pick offense over everything. Even an order from your superior can trigger anger and even disobedience because your mood has been distorted. This can affect the activeness and productivity of such workers.
Hahaha...This point is very right, and if you are such that can't handle yourself you should quit it at that time, it is never by force. But mind you, if a person is passing aggression just because of losses in gambling, how are you sure that the same person will not pass the same aggression when he gambles during off-work hours?

For clarity, what if the person has just lost a huge amount of money a few hours prior to resuming work on that day or next, will such be happy as if nothing has happened? Certainly No. This is why I still see this as individual behaviours which gamblers must strive to avoid. It is never peculiar to gambling at work at all, it is part of the irresponsible behaviour in gambling that we generally preach against.

Quote
There is also every tendency that a gambler who gambles during work might find it challenging to get to work early since sometimes he will use money meant for transportation to place a bet and then scrabble to get a replacement which is not always easy.
You can't just stop getting me laughing here. What you are trying to buttress still lies within the same point you've been trying to establish. What you just explained is the irresponsible character of a gambler and not a matter of gambling at work or not. If a gambler gambles at work and can't fund his transport home and also back to work the next day, is that not foolishness/addiction? What if the same gambler did not gamble at work but gambled senselessly after work with all his money including the one that would take him home and back to the workplace the next day? Will he not suffer the same fate? Think about it, it is still the same thing and is not peculiar to gambling at work as it can happen to gamblers at any time. It generally an irresponsible act by a gambler which is due to the lack of self-control and management of scarce resources.

Gambling addiction will reduce productivity at work. I'm sure this will make your boss suspicious and one day they will find you gambling while working. And because you can't work optimally then of course your boss will fire you. I'm not sure your boss will give you a warning. Gambling addiction is a fatal mistake. I think no one wants their employees to be gambling addicts. Gambling addicts can cause bad things for companies such as fraud or embezzlement of company money. Therefore, don't be a gambler in your work environment.

I agree with that, indeed if we do gambling during work hours it is very possible to make our performance. Because I think gambling can affect our thinking which will divert our focus on gambling alone. It's true what you said, if our performance decreases, maybe it will be a question for our superiors. And if he finds out we are gambling during working hours maybe the worst thing is that the boss will make the decision to fire us dishonorably, and if that does happen in my opinion it is the worst thing and we are also the stupidest people because why should we do things that trigger big problems.

It is very small if in my opinion when we are caught gambling during working hours we will be given a chance or just a warning, even though there are people who say it depends on the job, but in my opinion in any job we must be professional in doing it. Also all work in my opinion must be done well, in all jobs all the same, it is unethical to do gambling during working hours.

Yeah right, the chance of keeping your focus into gambling either you are winning or losing will lead you not to pay attention to your work, it might ruin your bread and butter in terms of financial needs. Better not to deal with it if you can hold and wait till your shift ends up and you have all the free time to gamble.
Well, that can makes your works can't finish in the right time and clearly, your focus on your work will disturb. When you lose, your minds will back to thinks about your loss and will not realizes that your gambling time is over and you now must continue your work until it finish. But because of you gets lose in gambling, your minds can't thinks clearly and not accepting the lose so that can interrupt your emotion and your work. It's why that if you want to playing gambling, you better doing that in your home and not in your work because you risks your work and that can makes you gets fired when your superiors knows.
On the time that you cant be that efficient already into your work then it does really shows that gambling did really affect you out then it would really be that best that you should really quit up gambling for good. You would really be having a choice whether you would really be putting up some focus on doing gambling and lost your work or you would be having that moderation so that
you wont potentially be able to compromise your source of income? It wouldnt be so hard on making up a choice but if you are that too dumb on to choose up gambling over work
then you are out of your mind. Never ever consider out on taking up such action because you would really be definitely be regretting in the end of line.

Generally speaking gambling at work is a very bad and unacceptable practice since gambling naturally eat up one time and energy with loads of distractions, so majority's of CEOs will always have gambling on the blacklist among activities that are accepted within the workplace.
It's hard before you see any company that allows their staffs to gamble at work and if they are caught gambling secretly, it can lead to sack of that employee or suspension, because at that point their are already going out of context of the job and there is no relationship between working and gambling.
As far as I know there is no company or field of work in the world where an employer is allowed to gamble at the work place. A gambler cannot be normal when he bets if he observes the state of his bets. Especially when his bets are oscillating between winning and losing. I can say with certainty that if a gambler gambles at their place of work they will not be able to function in the work place to their full potential. Another negative aspect of gambling at work is that the boss in charge will have a negative perception of the gambler which can have a big impact on his work life. I myself have bet in the field of work for several days where my results were poor. On the one hand, I had to be stressed about the betting situation and on the other hand, the attention to work was lost. Since then I never like to bet at work.

Indeed, moderation can help as you can always play your game after your work, and by the same with your statement not unless you are so dump choosing gambling and risking your job in case you messed up with your obligation during you are still in duty, it's best to control yourself as there's always a big risk putting two things together especially if it's needs focus and attentions.

Though as I mentioned, better not to compromised things out, as you have that authority in terms of controlling the situation as long as you are still in charge on both emotions and your finances.

And if he is addicted to gambling then I wouldn't be surprised if he can do it because addicts can't just stop because all they have in mind is playing and playing.


Gambling addiction will reduce productivity at work. I'm sure this will make your boss suspicious and one day they will find you gambling while working. And because you can't work optimally then of course your boss will fire you. I'm not sure your boss will give you a warning. Gambling addiction is a fatal mistake. I think no one wants their employees to be gambling addicts. Gambling addicts can cause bad things for companies such as fraud or embezzlement of company money. Therefore, don't be a gambler in your work environment.

they will be more suspicious if you used to be productive, you hit a quota at work and you finish before deadlines everything that needs to be done and then in an instant, suddenly changes, you are always late in passing the requirements needed, you no longer meet  your daily quota, you are late even at the time of work even though you have already worked from home, you don't feel like working because the reason is that your attention is divided between working and gambling, but just to inform everyone that gambling is not for long term, it can be done anytime  and we can win big but we can also lose, there are no benefits to be gained from gambling unlike what your company offered to you,  so let's think carefully about what will help our lives, many people aspire to the position you have now so it should not be taken for granted.

Very bad idea to see someone gambling at the place of work, i can't do that and will never tolerate or take it easy on anyone working under me gambling at the working hours, this is one of the means at which we ought to discipline ourself, we must not engage doing some activities base on the location we are or what we are doing, such could take our attention in concentrating on making the bet delivery of what we can do because our attention is divided and we cannot be here and there at the same time.

Right now I am writing this post while being at work. During last 15 minutes I was drinking morning coffee, reading forum, scrolling through Facebook, but instead I could have used this time to play dice on a mobile Cheesy If you were my boss, you would have punished me for that ? You know that you dont have rights to do that? First you would have to explain why you interfere in my private life, then show where it is written that mobiles arent allowed to use at the office.

I have a friend who was a chronic gambler and most times he would gamble with all his funds and then be absent from work. I agree that such a worker should be sacked. Every employer wants to grow his business and make a profit and so if his employee is not helping him achieve this goal, the employer will sack such employee to pave the way for an individual capable of bringing profit to the organization.

The topic subject  is funny itself!
It feels  like "Hey you why TF are you gambling  at work" Grin

I will be replying to the subject, Gambling  should not interfered with our personal lives , anyone Gambling  at work is probably doing it for two reasons
One: he's having a break which bores him  alot,
Two: he's probably  addicted negatively to gamble at work
If Gambling  is beign done while working then such person is addicted and need help to quitting  it because  getting  addicted negatively  could ruin someone  entirely


Yeah, but gambling can be a slippery slope, and someone that just gambles a bit because they are bored can end up in a situation in which they can't control their gambling anymore.

And then they start putting more and more money in there and there will be a point in which they will not have access to more funds, and they probably will lose their job at that time as well as their minds will be in another place.

A mistake that can have fatal consequences is if a worker gambles during working hours and if his employer or superior finds out about this, he will receive a warning or be immediately expelled. It really doesn't make sense if workers are working during their working hours and also carry out their gambling activities and it would be nice if people could do that. I myself don't know if he is really good at doing that because of the addiction factor he can do it.
And if he is addicted to gambling then I wouldn't be surprised if he can do it because addicts can't just stop because all they have in mind is playing and playing.

Sometimes declining some betting activities is not necessary, I believe all dependent on the situation why you are betting. In this case, if you are currently employed, you can decide to go to a casino shop whenever it is right like I said, it’s always good to set a particular amount of betting from your salary so you won’t go above what you have projected, definitely is going to be a problem if you don’t have a budget on your betting activities you end up of using the money for your family, upkeep and groceries to put it away and come back home to face problem with your wife.
The thing is, some people have a budget, but they don't have control over their gambling activities. Most of them are working and earning a good amount of money from their work place, but still, they don't give that work their full attention as they divert most of their attention over to gambling. 
 
With the high rate of online gambling and its exposure, it's very easy for them to not even go into the game house, but they can just use any device that has access to the internet to login to their casino dashboard and begin to place bets on why they are in their work place, which will deviate their attention from focusing in their work place to other places, which is the negative part of online gambling for those who don't have control over their involvement in it.

Agree, if we gamble at work then we also have to maintain a careful attitude because we are surrounded by many people and they can definitely accept or strongly reject gambling. Indeed, nowadays we see a lot of workers at their workplaces also carrying out gambling activities such as playing slots with their friends during break times and in my opinion the gambling that is often played by workers at work is slot games just by using their gadget and data package. . It's easy to gamble with friends around you.
And in my opinion, slot gambling will not disturb workers while they are working, they only play during break times.

Sometimes, when work has stalled and my brain has overheated, I am tempted to play online casinos on my full time job. It's like a way to get distracted and relax for a few minutes. The pros are that it adds thrills and excitement to my boring work day.
But, there are also disadvantages: I lose focus and concentration at work, and also risk being caught by my superiors. Therefore, I try not to get too carried away and use the game as a short entertainment.
I've said it many times, it's mostly about the nature of the work because, in some work settings, you will not even dare to check your phone talkless of gambling with it, while some would have taken custody of the phone immediately you are at work or force you to drop it in a locker specially assigned to you. Your nature of work is still less pressing, unlike many others, if not, you might not be able to access the phone even if they do not collect it from you as they do in some places for many reasons.

Regardless, your approach might still be good because you never mentioned that you practically gamble at work because you are addicted to it but to relieve stress. If that is your hobby and what you can do at that time to save the day, why not? Not that I am encouraging a bad habit but it is a way for you to be more productive. Imagine being fully stressed and you can reach out to your phone for a couple of minutes to freshen yourself a bit and return back to work ASAP. I am certain that you are returning to work with better efficiency than though you were just working and working under stress with no stopping. There is no way you can work with the high performance needed of you that way.

Just don't get caught because it will not be a good ending for you and no amount of explanation and persuasion can make your employer or senior colleagues agree with you on that reason.

but the thing here is, what if you are set up to work from home? You need a lot of self control because you can gamble anytime with just your phone, right? Since your work is at home, it will be difficult for you to control yourself because you may not be able to work properly and lose your focus due to the temptation of gambling. Whether we admit it or not, it has come to the point that we do it especially when we have spare time at work like break time. It's really hard to get through, but it's up to you how you can help yourself in managing your time, especially when it comes to work-life balance.
When that is happens, you must have a good self-control and have many activities to distract your minds not to thinks about gambling because your work in home can gives you much free time that you can used for other things. If you can stick to your rules, you don't have to worry with your free time when you are in home and you will not used your time to playing gambling because you will considering that playing gambling is just for having fun. You have the other important things you must do and that's all about of your work. Your free time will be used for the other things besides of playing gambling and when you wants to playing gambling, you will playing gambling moderately because you don't wants to becomes not responsible gambler.

That is the type of thoughts of a responsible person, who knows that they can have fun but considers that it is not Correct for them to do it at their workplace, because work is something legal, it is something that we always see as ideal behavior. , but what is that ? When a Person enters a casino they can have everything very clear, the worst thing is that they start to believe that they can win, of course it is not something certain , but I have Really learned through my little experience and over time I have been playing in casinos that as a player you must be or have established how much money you can win, you know that you cannot spend everything you have , you have to play only with the money you are allowed to lose, this to Avoid spending the money you have for the games daily purchases, or for medicines, services, among other things.

Not everyone thinks this way, because when they sit down in a casino to play, they feel that they can beat the same casino and that is a superiority complex that does not lead to the right path.
