Sometimes, I tempt other people to gamble. But it is very limited like betting on a certain game or betting on a cockfight. It is not like bringing them constantly to a casino or introducing a gambling app or site to them. I don't want that. I feel guilty whenever I bring someone to gamble and lost. It's probably the reason why I normally don't want to convince them otherwise if they really don't want to go.
But what I will never do is to suggest to someone who is in emotional pain or depression to combat it by gambling. I really don't think it is a good remedy. Or when somebody badly needs a certain amount of money and I recommend him/her to try bet whatever available money he/she has. I will never do this.

Sometimes I think that gambling addiction is more dangerous than being a drug addict. A person who is a drug addict does harm to himself only but a person who is a gambling addict, he is harmful not only to himself but also to his family as in his addiction he will spend all his money in gambling. He may take loans, and spend all the money, which would be needed for this family to survive. It's difficult for anyone to spend his life with a gambling addict person.
Also, I would say that a gambling addict person is lazy and wants to get a lot of money quickly without doing any hard work. Such a person is a burden not only to himself but also to his near and dear ones.
-But an addict can consume such an amount of money on drugs within the same time frame, so these things are both working side way and hand in hand.
This is very true. Sad to see a poor father is introduced to drugs or gambling and never get to recover life and then affected his kids.
It's very close to having a gambling addict family member as they both neglect family duties til the family is dysfunctional. It is somehow like a communicable disease becuase when kids see their fathers doing things like gambling and drugs, the kids will show signs upon growing as if they see it as normal.

The point here is, why introduced gambling? I don't see the essence of doing it.
Let's say, someone asked about that, can we really know the status of that person? How can we even apply to be careful about that?
We just have to be on our usual and forget this stuff about being careful as we really don't need to introduce gambling. It wasn't necessary to do so.

To be honest, I have never introduced it to people who are close to my environment, both friends and family, after all, I know it will plunge them into gambling addiction, let alone follow me. I just gamble for fun without having to teach people around me about gambling. . but if they play gambling because they see advertisements I usually give advice not to gamble seriously and always play wisely and responsibly
Gambling is addictive same as drugs, I will never encourage anyone to get involved in any of them most especially in the under-age group since they may not have the ability to control their desire to take high risks which can lead to more problems. -I personally have never introduced anyone to gambling and as a matter of fact I myself I am still a newbie in gambling, and since I gamble for fun no one will see me doing so and at that, I haven't really seen anyone around me trying to learn gambling from me.

I don't get it. We can easily avoid that "be careful" stuff if we don't introduce gambling to others.
Why introduce gambling in the first place? In my case, I just entertained any gambling-related questions, concerns, or interests if that person approach me first and not the other way around. It's not my usual to introduce gambling to others as why should I do that in the first place?
If someone will ask me about that, that's the time I will only respond to them but there's no way I will stick with those pointers at the OP as it's not my business to be careful when being asked. Besides, I don't know their financial capability so I will just go with the flow.
In summary, just don't introduce it to anyone that you know that are not capable of controlling their emotions because you'll never know on up to what point they can control themselves.
Because the time might even come that you'll be the one to be blamed by those people whom you've introduced gambling. That's not a new story and there have been cases like that they were blamed and made it looked bad because they've just introduced those addicted gamblers to gambling.
Avoid being the trigger of others that may fall into gambling addiction if you don't want to get involved and be blamed for.
I guess that's the real point here, we should stop encouraging people who gamble who are soft hearted because it may destroy their mental health once losing everything they have. Let them be the one who come to you and ask about it if they really want to so in the end you wont get blamed if they lose. To be honest ones you enter gambling its really hard to stop especially if you experience winning. It will boost you and trigger you to play and bet more higher value for a higher profit but once you loss with that big bet, it will not make you stop, it will push you more to keep gambling to get back what you loss and you cant notice that it slowly getting all your money that you have because you didn't control your emotion. Because the time might even come that you'll be the one to be blamed by those people whom you've introduced gambling. That's not a new story and there have been cases like that they were blamed and made it looked bad because they've just introduced those addicted gamblers to gambling.

Gambling is fun, but it is very addictive so better be careful and learn how to control or limit yourself first before entering on it.
Desperate people should be included, especially those desperate to make money they will throw their money and hope luck will be on their side to gain profit, once they lose they will be more desperate to regain their losses that is why on offline casinos there are people who offer loans so these desperate people can continue to play to regain their losses, same thing on online casinos their online bank account or wallets are a click away for them to reach and transfer funds.
People always want to give spices to their life and one of this is having a thrill of taking risk in playing gambling if you want to get entertained and at the same time having the chance to win a game gambling is suitable to you there's some options right there like slot, table tops and also sports betting depends on your preferences. Gambling addiction have different factors possible are the player wins already and keeping himself luck and next is the player who losses a lot and want to keep those earnings back.
- Be careful introducing gambling to someone who you know is poor and needs a better way to earn a livelihood. The person may mistake gambling as a way to earn a living.
- Be careful introducing gambling to your friend who you know easily gets addicted to new things.
- Be careful introducing gambling to your friend who you know has a drug use problem.
These are spot on reasons why we shouldn't introduce gambling to these type of people that are in our circle of friends. - Be careful introducing gambling to your friend who you know easily gets addicted to new things.
- Be careful introducing gambling to your friend who you know has a drug use problem.
Gambling is known to be a source of living for those addicted gamblers and are living in under the poverty line. That makes sense for them to think of it because that's what the only thing they know about gambling, as a quick source of money for them and some went to the extent of making it as a source of living.
Good for those that have been successful and are doing well but the stats can't be hidden from those people that have failed doing so because, it is not for everybody.
Myself introduced gambling to my girlfriend, and she started to gamble regularly. Bets doesn't go higher than $1 and initially she enjoyed it as she didn't experience loss. Later started to loss, and requests me to recover her loss for her. I used to recover playing with bigger bets and one day lost big. From that day she completely stopped gambling, not even for fun she doesn't gamble. I mention this just to state what is being said in the OP is true, men easily turns addictive. Good for the men is to concentrate on sports betting than casino games.
I do think that one factor on what contributes gambling addiction is the innovation of the technology in the world.
As innovation is slowly introduced, the world is slowly shifting towards a digital age where everything can be accessed online for our convenience. With the pandemic hitting globally, this became an opportunity for online gambling to rise on its popularity to the point that majority have preferred to gamble in this platform.
I do think that the accessibility of gambling with the push of a button in our phones contributed to gambling addiction. Not to mention, even famous streamers are advertising gambling games on their social media accounts which further contributed to this.
In summary, just don't introduce it to anyone that you know that are not capable of controlling their emotions because you'll never know on up to what point they can control themselves.
Because the time might even come that you'll be the one to be blamed by those people whom you've introduced gambling. That's not a new story and there have been cases like that they were blamed and made it looked bad because they've just introduced those addicted gamblers to gambling.

Be responsible enough not to attract people in gambling particularly for those who may think that gambling can be a good source of living. If they do, they will always want to try their luck gambling most of the time and end up losing all their funds. And for people who may gamble just for fun, don’t be too confident that they won’t develop addiction in the long run. Gambling is very addictive, if you’re not good at resisting and controlling your urge, you will always fall for gambling addiction even if you will keep on saying that you only gamble for fun.Because the time might even come that you'll be the one to be blamed by those people whom you've introduced gambling.

And yes, persuading someone to gamble will never be advisable. Allow them to seek with their own curiousity. 'coz for sure there will be this tendency for you to be blamed out of the bad outcome of their playing habit.

Very much detailed op, one thing that have been for me, and will always be, is the fact that no body related to me in any way, knows I gamble, and I want it to remain that way, I will never, for any reason, introduce gambling to any of my family members or to friends who are not already into gambling.
People i share my referral link with are mostly strangers I come across with online, no way to possibly know if they fall into any of the categories mentioned by the op, but then, it is very much up to them to avoid getting addicted.

As long as they won’t be productive in the long run, then never introduce it to them in the first place. Gambling may always trigger addiction especially if the one involved has a difficult way of controlling his greed and emotions. Instead of quitting gambling after losing, most of them will even gamble more to chase their losses or some to chase more of their luck for bigger profits. The reason why we should always be responsible not to drag people on gambling especially if those people have hard time controlling not just their emotions, but their finances as well. They may even consider that gambling is a quick way to make money, when the real fact is gambling could mean more losses than profits.Because the time might even come that you'll be the one to be blamed by those people whom you've introduced gambling.

suggested and been introduced to you on which on the time that curiosity would kick in, this is where things turns out to be that hard on the time that you are already getting gradually addicted.
Its a personal choice though because there are people who are really that good on handling out themselves on whatever situation that they are engage in.On the time that they do saw
that they are already that spending too much and getting addicted, they could stop it midway and avoid it later on.

In general, I know some forum users may like to respond saying we should be careful generally who we introduce gambling to, which is true, but since may not possibly be avoided, there are some categories of person's that we should be on the look out for in the society.
Join the discussion by extending the list if possible.
Don't know whether the environment will influence someone to be involved in gambling, the problem is that no one is really involved in gambling if they don't have access to it. Gambling is the same as a teenager's hobby for games which makes them addicted and in my opinion nothing can limit it, even though implicitly it doesn't introduce gambling to anyone.Join the discussion by extending the list if possible.
The extent of addiction depends on each individual, it is difficult to limit this and ensure that it works within the person's ability to recognize the impact of the risks, any advice will be back on each and control may be possible but limiting seems difficult.
I just don't really introduce it to be honest, gambling isn't my niche to tell them what it's like and I know for myself that you can't really earn a living here. There are too many vulnerable people out there these days and with just one hook that could lead to more serious problems.
