It's somewhat pointless to let us know if we should be careful to introduce someone into gambling, because the huge influence make people to gamble is come from gambling influencer, not a common gambler. Usually a real gambler will not want to invite their friend to gamble to because there's a personal reason or there's no point to invite them. If someone invite you to join gambling, it's high likely he will ask you to sign up with his referral link.
It's funny but it's true, most of the time it's about the referral link. I think why common gamblers may not invite their friends to play as well is because they know the feeling of being too invested in gambling. They may not want to involve their friends in their gambling activities as they may not want to encourage them to experience the same as well.
Well, we live in a world where everything can be seen online if we have basic knowledge and skills. As a gambler for many years already, I am always very careful in introducing betting to people, especially the ones that I feel struggling financially and less educated. At least educated people that are seemingly fine with their financial situations can afford some amounts to entertain themselves in casino games and the thrill when they are betting on their favorite sports, leagues, teams, and athletes.
I never have a courage to introduce gambling to someone I know regardless of it’s mental and financial condition because I know what’s the effect of gambling when a person can’t handle it. I think gambling shouldn’t be introduced to someone that you knew personally to avoid conflicts in the future in case shit happened to them.
I know a lot of stories about successful and rich person that become devastated when they started playing gambling. Addiction can’t be controlled once our mind is hooked on chasing profit/losses.
Yeah. Inviting friends or relatives to gamble can be risky financially because there is always the possibility that they could lose money and be unable to pay it back. This could strain relationships and cause tension which are things that we won't like to happen.
