I wonder if there are people among the gamblers who began to play less during the pandemic? It seems to me that there should definitely be such - many began to spend more time at the computer due to the fact that they were transferred to remote work and perhaps after work they just want to turn off the computer, and not rest at it. In addition, many people's incomes have dropped and if they are responsible they have cut back on their entertainment (gambling).

During a pandemic, of course, many people will be in front of the computer with a myriad of jobs, whether it's just doing normal things or working fully on the computer, which obviously has something to reduce this in gambling.
Since the pandemic is statistically increasing because they are a lot deep into gambling games maybe due to being at home too long and bored and finally trying on gambling games, but after everything is normal I think this will be a decline because they will be more focused on real work and Forget gambling.
But there are indeed some gambling lovers, including me.

This is the time where we should be careful, I understand that we are facing a pandemic, most of us have financial struggles but we should not lose our hope, we can also enjoy ourselves like gambling

I also think that in the current pandemic conditions we should have a limit in terms of gambling and maybe it's better for us to temporarily stop doing it, so that the money we have can meet the needs of our families in difficult economic conditions like this, gambling during the current pandemic will it may only make us happy temporarily but when we lose and lose money it will certainly make us more difficult and burdened.

I think we are all people who have restricted gambling for a very long time during the pandemic but in the hundreds of games that can create entertainment, no matter how hard we try to find fun every day, these pastimes also evaporated from the shelves and the main character called gambling still appeared, especially gambling is keeping everyone's flame in Covid, that's money and that's income. The pandemic is not just a health problem, it is an income problem, despite defending our will many times over but we also have moments of distraught and needy aspiration, government doesn't create as much hope as gambling

Yes because of the pandemic people tend to use online site or any social media they just spend their liesure time , that's why some gamblers addicted and start uncomfortable if they can't play or go on in the Gambling they like.

It's not also just because of gambling but also being resourceful that many of those people that have found leisure as they stay at home also looked for other means and they've discovered bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. With that find, they've come to see that crypto is vast and it's not just all about holding, trading and payment but they can also use it as is to fund their crypto casino accounts.

Some responsible Gamblers they always think their families an their needs and satisfactory for their survival an the rest time is for the game.

Well, that goes for the full time gamblers and whether there is or there's no pandemic, they are always like that.

The lockdown is a big temptation to be online most of the time, if you don't have control and you are not a responsible gambler you will develop anxiety symptoms, because you have all the time but you lack the money you think that this is the right time to win or study how to win in gambling because you have all the time in the world, which is a big deception.

For people who don't usually gamble, they may see gambling just as entertainment to find fun during the current corona pandemic, but this is not the case with people who are addicted to gambling and of course under any circumstances they will always spend their time gambling and maybe even gambling can be an alternative for them to be able to earn money, especially in the current pandemic conditions many companies are firing their employees and of course greatly affecting their financial condition, I think the risk of gambling will be the same whether it's a pandemic or not.

Totally different in situation into those people who do play for entertainment and to those people who do play just because theyre simply been addicted on gambling and with due on this current situation we are
in on where most people are staying up on their own homes because of this pandemic situation then it is really high likely that gambling addicts will really spent their time on playing online despite if he's
a casino player then he would really be finding ways at least to feed up his addiction whereas compared to those who are just basically seeking for entertainment then this wont really be an issue.

In my opinion, trying to solve your financial problems by playing at online casinos is crazy!

However, in the context of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, this is a reality.

People are desperate....

Many have lost their jobs. Many are very afraid of contracting the coronavirus. Television and the Internet provide very conflicting information about the situation in the world. Doctors and government officials are at a loss. This creates an atmosphere of despair.

People who have recovered from Covid-19 lose their psychological stability. Their cognitive abilities deteriorate. Therefore, they turn to gambling in the hope of winning big money and solving their financial problems.

However, this is a dead-end path. Gambling is not a lifeline.

sad but there are people during this pandemic find themselves addicted and lose a lot, think wiser and be more
aware, always do the right checking within you to avoid having more problem after.

There always were people that become addicted to gambling, online or classic. I don't think that these pandemic times are any different. Maybe if someone lost his job and tries to find happiness in gambling, but I wouldn't blame pandemic for that. That kind of person would eventually become addicted with pandemic or without it.

There are really some factors which could really be the reason on why people do really get addicted but somehow this is really just a personal kind of view and own will on dealing up with something and decide to get addicted or simply had able to tolerate their aims in their mind.

Its true that on the time where people do spent out their time too much online due to this pandemic situation then it cant really be avoided that we would really attached ourselves in to things that we havent
experienced before even though it is just the same thing where it is gambling but the experience is a whole lot different.

Tolerating such activity without having a good control with your finances then it would totally mess you up.

This is the time where we should be careful, I understand that we are facing a pandemic, most of us have financial struggles but we should not lose our hope, we can also enjoy ourselves like gambling

That's true This is the time that we must practice control of our gambling habits, and this is the time that we should only play what we can afford to lose and allocate only within our means, this is a tough time and full of uncertainty, but that does not mean that we should stop doing what we enjoy doing, we should only moderate it more, gambling ease up the burden of what we are experiencing in the pandemic.

In time like this, where sad things are everywhere. Finding ways to have some good entertainment might be fine.

Though it's all about controlling yourself since we also need our saving not being emptied by this activity,
enjoyment is fine as long as you know how to limit yourself, especially with your money.

As long as we can be carefully playing gambling and always control our money, we can be okay and not have a problem with other things. Related to our life, we can limit our time in gambling, which means we can reduce the money that we will use to gamble. This pandemic makes us prepare our money for anything that can happen rather than to use it for playing gambling which can not give us a way to make money. But if we still want to play gambling, just be careful and remember that we really need money to survive.

During this time people are much into financial pressure, because of job loss and other issues. This makes common people prioritise the opportunities available online. This is where more People fall for gambling with the hope of earning something. Finally almost every user loss everything and go for further more to recover it back.

well best word is "Desperation " is what most comes to gamble in this pandemic as we know many peoples attitude to try risking money just to make it double in easy way, and this is also the reason why gambling online comes booming nowadays.
many gambling sites earns bags of money because of too many people entering online gambling and even crypto currency gamblers.
and i think this is normal and good that OP share those advise that i think will be helpful for others that wanna skip this area of spending .

When you are tempted to gamble online, use that to motivate you to go for a walk or exercise instead.
If you decide to gamble, you should keep a record of how much money and time you spend on gambling daily. Studies show that gamblers lose track of how much time and money they spend on gambling.
Social distancing should not lead to social isolation, so talk to your friends and peers and discuss your gambling problem with them. Having support can make a big difference.
Finding other mental stimulation to keep your mind busy can be very helpful in suppressing thoughts of gambling. If you need to be online then seek out online activities that help you to overcome the urge to gamble.
Seek expert advice if you feel your gambling activities are getting out of hand. BeGambleAware.org is a very good place to start.

Does any of these methods work for you? How do you keep a rein on your gambling habits?

That's generally good advice, although gamblers generally need to break out of the tunnel vision and bad habits that have sometimes built up over years of playing. Like any addiction it's not just the physical act of dropping money on to a game, but can sometimes be the environment and feel-good memories associated with it, even if the good times were created a long time ago.

Another thing to think about when you're trying to break such an ingrained habit is the triggers and it is somewhat covered by the first point mentioned. If you think about smokers for instance, they might subconsciously go for a cigarette after eating or when drinking, so when you're trying to stop - really assess anything that might trigger your mindset towards gambling. If you popped in the bookmakers when you go to visit a the grocery store, try using a different store for a while until you have a bit more control. Control is key and you might feel powerless at the beginning, once you have it back the world seems a lot clearer.

Also, some games have elements of gambling (poker, blackjack, etc.) but there are a few people who can eek out a profit based on skill. If you are consistently losing money, you need to walk away.

Man, triggers is the devil. It can sneak up on you unconsciously at that moment when you think, "well I'm strong now, I can beat this". These nothing harmful about triggers per say but it's the strong association that has been made between them and the addiction that needs to be broken.

Quote from: BuNga_cute on June 02, 2021, 07:00:32 AM

My 8 year old child has been unable to go to school for more than a year because the government in my country still prohibits children from going
to school. So my child spends a lot of time at home, and my child has understood using various social media, especially my son is actively using
TikTok and Instagram. As you said, there are some people who use social media for bad purposes. There are some grown men who share photos
that are not good for 8 year olds to see, and it's my job as a parent to monitor what my children do on the internet. If we're not careful, social media
can be dangerous. so use social media wisely. Likewise, playing online gambling will have a bad risk if it is not limited, remember that
something excessive is not good. Because of the pandemic situation we do spend a lot of time at home, but that doesn't mean most of
the time we have is used for gambling.

I suggest that you should keep your child away from social media platforms because that's not a healthy way for a child to do during his/her developing years, try to limit your child's screen time.

We can't do much around the house so we try to find ways to pass our time and gambling is double edged sword of a choice because doing too much is going to be problematic.

Thank you friend for the advice, indeed I should start limiting my child in using social media, because it is feared to bring bad influence.
That's why I started to spend a lot of time with my children right now, so that slowly the time to access social media can be much reduced.
I agree that gambling is like a double edged sword, if we are not careful we can endanger ourselves. Therefore I limit myself when playing
online gambling, I currently only play on weekends and use the extra money I have when playing gambling.

It is a good thing that you are doing something about this as this is something not many are talking about, the pandemic brought up a lot of behaviors on people due to social isolation that we would not have seen otherwise, and one of the most affected are kids, many of them are developing habits when it comes to social media that are dangerous as it is simply not correct to spend so much time in an activity that is not really that productive at all and their usage of those platforms needs to be curbed so they develop correctly as adults.
