This pandemic virus makes some other people focused on online gambling, they have free time and one way to kill the boredom is to gamble, it makes them entertained especially when playing with friends and it can make them earn money as well and lose their money most of the time. Losing in gambling would not affect the willingness of an addict in gambling because they are thinking that they should play more in order to turn back the money
I am not that so addicted to gambling so most of the answers to the questions are "NO", actually it will only get positive for those people who are addict to gambling. They cannot control themselves so well while playing because they find gambling as a way of entertainment and a source of money sometimes. Winning the game and earning money makes a person play gambling, it has a good feeling it is also applicable for every aspect of our lives.

"Due to the stress of COVID-19 people tend to gamble more."
I think that is why people seem not to think much about Covid-19. Perhaps, they are playing gambling because they lose their jobs, while they need money to survive and buy their daily needs. So gambling will be the only way to make money, as you say, they think they can make more money in a short time.
If they can think about how to solve boredom by doing another thing than playing gambling, they will not lose the money. People will not get stress because of losing money in gambling.
everytime they played it brings them losses and eventually will take all their money and what ends?hungry.
Gambling is only for those who has enough budget and not for the risking.
"Due to the stress of COVID-19 people tend to gamble more."
Right now I don't think that money is their main reason why they are gambling because if it really is then it is a problem but it is the boredom that forces them to gamble in the middle of a pandemic. I just hope that they find other ways to ease their boredom and not only gambling. There are other things that they can do just not to be bored. Playing online games, playing with family, sleeping all day
etc.

Maybe still gambling could also be done online and for a lot of people online is already the thing because of the pandemic most of the casinos are still closed until it is safe for COVID or the government to say so. So I guess for hard gamblers they might need to adopt if they still not try gambling online they might want to try it and might like it.
Have you read thoroughly on the OP? The problem is about financial or money to gamble. Since the pandemic is happening, we must stay at home and unfortunately not all people can get money only by staying at home. So, many people are in a financial crisis, then they must prioritize urgent needs than playing gambling. Indeed, we can always access online gambling but gambling games aren't free, many of them require money. While in the crisis, many gamblers must deal with the situation by stopping to gamble temporarily. For the addicts, this may be bad time, but normal gamblers can accept it very well, I guess. Well, that's true we still can access online gambling, but having very limited money is a big problem for gamblers right now. But there were people who are really desperate even on the amidst of pandemic they do still consider to play specially now that gambling places are gradually start to open up.
It's part of gamblers life. Whether we have pandemic or a financial crisis, gamblers will find a way to gamble. While the economy of most are going back, there's no blockage anymore for the gamblers to get back to *business*. No obstacles anymore and they get to choose, online or physical. They all have the choices and whichever the desire of their type, they can do as what they pleases them.
Many people concentrate only on the economic and the direct effects of the pandemic, however the pandemic is going to have long term effects on the mental health of people, humans are not really designed to spend months isolated from each other, this has probably lead many to the path of depression, addiction and maybe even suicide
Yeah l! The frustration this pandemic brings to all of us is quite alarming. I mean, I don't actually bother because I'm used to stress (engineering life lol) but those people particularly the weak hearted extroverts are the ones who suffer the most. So I guess the best we can do is to look on the brighter side and take advantage of the plenty amount of time in our hands. Share moments with your family, focus on your passion, do recreational activities and the most important thing is pray. It will ease the pain 
. (You're unlucky if you live alone) Keep holding on guys, we can make it!
why its better to prioritize things first on how to make money rather than on spending it via gambling.
But there were people who are really desperate even on the amidst of pandemic they do still consider to play specially now that gambling places are gradually start to open up.
There could be really a great possibility that because people are being stuck at home due to the existing quarantine brought by this pandemic, people find themselves being bored and getting sicked of the repetitive activities they do so they wanted to entertain themselves and one might come to consider playing gambling really entertaining. Due to boredom, people will surely impossible to gamble less for they tend to gamble more specially if that certain individual is a gambler at first hand for they know the experience of playing gambling. But the problem due to pandemic, people might find it hard to control their wants to play gambling even more for they might do not have other things to make them occupied.
Good thing that the OP raise an awareness about this thing to know and assess yourself if you are really a problematic gambler or not. But there might be individuals who are in denial phase not to know if they really into themselves a problematic gambler or not. The first step of resolving such problem is of course admitting and accepting into yourself you are facing such so professionals or authorized people can help you out resolve such problem.

It might seem so, a mean, for a fact, people have got to do something while staying at home but then, it all started at a period. At first, movements were restricted, people were stopped temporary from their jobs and that came along with sporting activities, casinos and clubs been shut down temporary. I'm sure during this period, there were certainly no betting untill the games and routes were reopen, people were allowed to go about their daily duties and jobs to a limited extent and then, the nettings got going.
No doubt their were nettings based on predicted scores but then, the bettors were small.
Covid19 have got people searching for online earning platforms and bet seems the most promising yet, a lot of persons lose.

So I guess for hard gamblers they might need to adopt if they still not try gambling online they might want to try it and might like it. The government is supporting online things or transactions and forcing a lot of people to stay at home in order to avoid the virus. The government wants to prevent the virus so working at home or working online will probably going to be the normal thing for a lot of countries or maybe until the Coronavirus vaccines become available but it might take more years to be completed. In my opinion gambling addiction should not be a problem because their just a lot of ways that you could do.

people will gamble less!!
Gamble lesser amounts but crypto has the great advantage of letting you gamble whatever size you like where as most casinos would be quite awkward to just play in tiny amounts. I always bet small till i actually believe I know the game, feel its possible I will get a run of wins if I'm playing with size. I get that people dont want to play without risking something, my game is trying to beat the game and guess its structure to risk vs reward so that works for me at any level not just purely size based risk.
In lower income times I would just recommend trying a wider variety and vary strategy & routine, risk less and hope to learn a new trick maybe try poker or whatever game you never normally try.
All questions are useful enough and if we apply all of these to our selves as a gambler ...
Giod Enough to be considered, but the question is how...Lot of people lost their jobs and source of income like business even the investment sector got crashed so for someone who ranges inside the middle class will highly affected by this condition.But we are somewhat recovered from early effects but still we need to change our life strategies to hang in their and survive the hard days.
yeah, definitely somewhat,... but we're not getting anywhere despite that especially if there are still tons of people who aren't using their brains on how they'll live in an appropriate way. Speaking of which, gambling hasn't yet to be fun jut like the old days.

Many people concentrate only on the economic and the direct effects of the pandemic, however the pandemic is going to have long term effects on the mental health of people, humans are not really designed to spend months isolated from each other, this has probably lead many to the path of depression, addiction and maybe even suicide, it is important to keep our eyes open in the case we see our family members and friends acting strange since they could be suffering due to the social isolation we have gone through and help them if that is the case.
I also think that this is a big problem. We have seen that in the past months. The economy has been supported with money. But many associations, which worry about humans did not get money.
But you must also consider that there are many people who love this isolation and do not like to be among people. So they are happy with this situation. The medal has many sides.

It will be interesting in a few years once the costs of the pandemic are more clear what has being the cost in terms of mental health for the world as I suppose it will l be very high.

Even we like it or not this situation teach us a lot we need to be discipline and learn to be happy for simple things that we can do even it is just limited because of the pandemic.
No one want this happen but its just happen what we can do now is learn to adopt the situation and adjust base on what they think we need and not for what we want.
Whatever is happening now must be faced happily and also do positive things in the future so as not to cause depression to cause unwanted things such as suicide, the problem factor could be their economic effect.

Covid-19 virus affected all of us! Because the measures across the world, the ones like shutting down the business and quarantine,
many people were stressed, and had to deal with that alone in their locked homes. Many people had big psychical problems and they
had to find some ways to deal with that stress, and one of the ways is online gambling. Running away from one problem in another
is never a good solution, people need to find to stay healthy and strong in these difficult times.

I hope that every person can stay calm at this pandemic and still search for the new jobs they want. It will be going to end soon, but we need to be patient.
