Topic: Online gambling risks during coronavirus pandemic - page 2. (Read 2080 times)
In my opinion, the main risk that we can get during the pandemic would be the fact that we can go bust just by playing online gambling at home or even online games that require money to gain an advantage. Just like the play to win games, if one has no emotional control over the urge to continue playing then it will lead to very dire consequences for the gambler and the gamblers family and property. It is the responsibility of the gambler to take care of his finances and his family's welfare at the same time being able to fulfil some self-satisfaction of being able to gamble.
Your opinion really makes sense
without this pandemic, even someone who has an interest in gambling will definitely still do it
Gambling is not wrong if we all can still be controlled it, many people come out of economic difficulties because of gambling
so don't ever blame gambling which is the cause of the people's difficulties, blame yourself for that person who can't control his lust
We all have our different life choices either we were going to engage ourselves in gambling for good or just doing it for a some other time. We shouldn'tblame the situation for being so engaged in gambling of that person because even if its not a pandemic people will surely do this thing. But honestly this pandemic which is the sole reason why we have been in tacked in our houses for a quite half or even a year of our life brings us enough time to be feel bored and feel that we already knew every corner of our houses even if walk in there blind folded so yeah even the one who didn't gamble used to learned how to gamble out of being boring and that's still a life choices of a certain person.

If we can use social media for the right thing, that will really help us communicate. But unfortunately, in the wrong hands, social media can be used as a tool to commit a crime as we see that many of them spread bad words or promote something that it should not see by any ages, especially for a younger. I also use social media to communicate with many of my family members, and I know that I do not have to use it all day long.
We should know how to treat social media not to disturb our real life and balance our lives. So when one of our friends or families gets something bad, we can support them and still hold them not to go down. And if it's necessary, we can go to their home to give direct help so they can solve the problem.

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. to school.

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.
The issue is that it is not the same, even if people have used social media for a long time to keep track of the activities of their friends and family the majority still preferred to engage directly with their fiend and family if given the opportunity, the fact they could not do so lead many people to try to find some kind of substitute and unfortunately many people fell victims of addictions because of it, precisely because they did not had the support of their families at this crucial time.
You got a point.
We have different love language, and those need physical touch or needs a presence by his side whenever he has a problem will not count social media interaction with friends as a help. He will just proceed on his addiction and will ignore social media helps by his friends unless they'll go to his house every other day to talk about his gambling problem. It's hard, every is hard and stressful these days because of this non-stop pandemic.
Let's just cheer those addicted gamblers who are doing their best to quit their addiction.

One of the functions of social media is to be able to connect us with our friends and family who are far enough away. So we can all monitor each
other's activities and circumstances through social media. But since the pandemic, our way of life has changed without realizing it. I communicate
more with friends and my family go out through social media, although sometimes we are all close together. Maybe without realizing it appears
the fear of being infected if we leave the house too much. So in the end, social media plays an important role in this. I agree that the support of
our closest friends or family is very important in preventing any bad things from happening. including preventing us from becoming addicted
to gambling. Because sometimes our friends and family find out about our daily activities, including our activities in the online world,
unless we lie to our family and friends about our activities.

The effect of pandemic will possibly experience for so many years especially in 3rd world countries but if the rich countries will do a humanitarian help to poor countries and help them recover for the mess brought by pandemic for sure the years of effect will be lessen. But we shouldn't make this a reason to gamble and risk to gain a profit since if we keep looking after this and aim to get a profit to feed your family then provably we will be on shitty situation once we loss everything we have.
We shouldn't make anything other than entertainment be the reason for us to gamble. Using anything other than entertainment would inevitably lead you to a big loss, since you certainly wouldn't think twice in trying to earn money by investing more, instead of thinking it's for fun where the money entering in your sessions is controlled. Especially for those with poor living conditions, heck, even middle-level families shouldn't even think of trying to enter gambling as a way to earn money. It is, in the end, just a way for us to have fun, nothing more, nothing else. hero member

I think the main difference is that due to the pandemic many people lost their social lives and they were missing that aspect of their lives, so for those that were susceptible to becoming addicted to gambling this became a big problem because if the circumstances had been different maybe they could have avoided becoming addicted by having some other things on their lives, but without any support system they kept gambling trying to get some entertainment out of it only to find themselves addicted and having no way out of it.
This pandemic affects all our daily basis in our lives. We lost our social lives for almost a year and yet until now pandemic is still on our way but we need to learn to live without being fear of this virus because our lives are already slowed down in progress due to this crisis. Second, i didn't doubt that online gambling will become one of the past time activities of some or many of the people because of being so bored in life. Neither, i wouldn't doubt that this online gambling gives also a risks to every gambler not only for the health aspects but on financial aspect of a man too

- 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.
This is very interesting to the point that most people have associated social distancing to social isolation.
The COVID-19 pandemic really took everyone to their surprise. Many people have troubling adjusting due to the nature of the circumstances of the virus, catching people off-guard to their daily habits. While the pandemic has surely forced us to adjust a safe and cautious lifestyle, this does not necessarily mean that we must isolate ourselves from the whole world, including our families.
In fact, many addicts took this opportunity to be more addicted to their hobbies (i.e. drug use, online gambling, etc.) since they have a reason to rationalize their behavior. This is a very interesting study that addicts, in general, must know and take it from the heart.
You got a point.

Going back on topic, I think online gambling was good for one thing at least: avoiding close contacts with others, that prevented the disease from spreading but that is very much it.
Yeah, I agree. It was good for escape, for distraction from having to think about covid pandemic and lockdown.
It was a good way to blow off steam, and a good way to make a quick buck, but maybe for some it created more problems than solutions. Perhaps now we have to try to find the balance between that and reality.
It's a very good alternative and very safe while you don't have to interact with others. That's really a feature that we're enjoying most before the pandemic has come.
If you know how to balance then that advantage is valid but like what the post above are saying, there are some or possible more people who added problems than solution after reaching this venue of gambling,
People who once limits their bankroll when entering the onshore casinos are now engaging too much and using more money from their savings.
Easy access from your online banking to available gambling site adding more fund for your bankroll.
In fact, life always provides a choice and if for some reason a person does it not in his favor (to come up with something useful, go in for sports, business or something else), then it is not life's circumstances that are to blame for this, but he himself. It seems to me that if a person wants, he will become addicted even without the circumstances of a pandemic, or, on the contrary, will avoid gambling addiction.
without this pandemic, even someone who has an interest in gambling will definitely still do it
Gambling is not wrong if we all can still be controlled it, many people come out of economic difficulties because of gambling

We do badly missed out those gatherings when it comes to certain events where we do really hang out with other people and i do miss out to go out without wearing anything or doesnt really feel threatened about any virus out there. It sucks that it do happen where this pandemic situation really affect not only economically but also into normal living as a human being. When it comes to gambling then risk is there where those
noobs or who do just recently jumped in and get hooked into addiction.If you do make yourself greedy and believe that making income or easy money with gambling then thats the biggest mistake you would ever make.
Due to accessibility and vacant time then chances or odds on getting engagement with gambling is high.
