Topic: Risk management and responsible gaming - page 5. (Read 1295 times)

Sometimes like you rightly stated, people are not unemployed because they are unable to secure a job, but most times is simply because the job isn't paying well enough or at some point they are bored with the job and want something else, several other reasons could be why some persons stay unemployed for a good period of time.

Some results to gambling because they think and believe that it's a very easy way to make money without having to stress so much and it avails them so much freedom with minimal working time, so these are some of the excuses that has kept some people jobless. Some literally have to forfeit looking for job and go into gambling full time and at this point they results in harmful habits such as stealing to fund their gambling activities which they wouldn't if they had gotten a job, they get addicted and even find it very difficult quitting.

Risk management is very necessary for every gambler to limit their gambling activities and avoid large losses. They don't need to use much money just to gamble because gambling is just for fun, and they don't need to try too hard to win. Let the win come to us so that we only need to enjoy the gambling game, and when we have had enough gambling, we will immediately stop gambling and will not think about continuing to gamble.

We have to do this to prevent us from experiencing gambling addiction, where there are already many gamblers who are drawn into their gambling addiction without them realizing it or being able to get out of gambling easily. They will just continue gambling without any strong desire to stop gambling.

Unemployment is getting higher over the years. And this is not even due to the lack of work in a particular place. Some people don't want to work the same way their parents did. All they need is to find money for food and not to be disturbed by anyone, after which they hope to win a big win in gambling without putting any effort into it. I don’t know how to explain it, they probably think that they are the chosen ones. The most important thing here is that they always need to look for money to play. If at the beginning they borrow from acquaintances and friends, then it can go even worse and the player will commit theft for the first time. Boundaries will be erased and at some point this will lead to very sad consequences.

When the talk about if lack of jobs is the reason for gambling to an extent it means the increase of numbers of gamblers can well be attributed to lack of jobs, loneliness of not having money to take to another activities for fun like visiting of recreational activities, swimming pools, site seeing etc. All the big names mentioned are not able to make up the huge numbers of gamblers, they are professional gamblers who most times they only want to keep their names afloat and keep being popular to get endorsements because if their names are not heard they keep losing business. They therefore catch fun by gambling but most gamblers making up the huge numbers of gamblers are doing gambling for the profit that they are looking for.

So in other words, are you now blaming lack of job opportunities as the reason why people gamble? Are you??. Because if that's the case, how about those who have a high paying job and yet still gambles, what have you to say about them? Example, the likes of "Michael Jordan, Kerry Packer, Tony Bloom, Bill Benter, Edward Thorp & Alan Woods" who are all self-made billionaires and millionaires, and yet still gambles and are proud to be known and associated with anything  gambling. Because the truth of the matter is that while some gambles for money, a decent percentage of people also gambles for the fun of the game.

All these measures were supposed to help gamblers stay responsible gambling but then some gamblers will still create another account to gamble after exclusion on some sites except they are placed on a black list whereby they cannot be able to create an account elsewhere with another bookies then that way maybe they could stay restricted long enough.

Responsible gambling has been one of the things most casinos have always advocate for and people will still not listen or sometimes they feel they are in control and probably got everything under control until they suffer huge losses, government agencies also advocate responsible gambling because of the effects they know irresponsible gambling have got on most gamblers which in some cases turns out to affect the society in the long run especially when this addicts turn violent and indulge in unhealthy habits resulting from their gambling addiction.

but for me gambling addiction and gaming addiction both have negative impact on the future and the impact is same as spending money on gambling and on video games and there are still many similar impacts between these two incidents but if this is about an addiction that wants to be cured the method is quite easy for those who want to immediately stop their addiction as long as they have strong desire, of course the addicted gambler can recover more quickly because a strong desire can encourage an addict to become  healthy gambler and with some of these discussions we can take positive things such as avoiding everything. mistakes that trigger addiction include limiting the budget, setting lowest betting amount and sticking to the rules that have been made previously.

avoiding anything that triggers someone to become addicted, this is the most effective way to continue gambling responsibly, for me.

Gambling should be what we have made up our minds for, we have to maintain the normal required standard each and every gambler is is expected to emulate while gambling, we should nothing more than the fun in it, we are not doing this because of being compelled to do so, we are only being considerate of our own self and benefits to get while gambling the best way we can.


Government are doing theirs for their own good and we should also gamble for the benefits of what's best for us to have in gambling.

Or simply we should really be having that moderation not really just that limited on gambling but also in other things in life as well because having no control or simply being that impulsive would really be leading you nowhere
or simply it would really be just that making you that desperate and really that prone into lots of mistakes and this is why you should really be that mindful and careful on dealing up with things if you dont really like to mess up. Dealing up something like gambling then you should really be that mindful and responsible with your finances because if you dont then you are really that prone on trying out to mess that status if you do
become that impulsive or into that someone who doesnt really been able to control up that well on the time that you do gamble.

Gambling is really just that for fun and it is really just that right that you should be only spending on the amount or money on which you can only afford to lose
and not something going beyond those lines or limitations because this is where people do usually mess up on the time that they would be spending up
those funds which arent intending for gambling but rather for other important means.

The government may promote responsible gambling but they never really make extra miles to control gambling addiction. It's like once you fall into gambling addiction, at least you should know how to get up and be responsible enough to manage your gambling addiction. As long as the government continues to discourage gambling addiction to the people, I think that action for them is already good enough. Without realizing that a lot of gamblers fall into gambling addiction because the government lacks in providing job opportunities for these gamblers that's why they turn into gambling to find a source of income.

But on the other hand not always all parents can fully supervise any activity carried out by their children, there will always be situations where parents are quite careless or there may even be some parents who do not pay too much attention to their children, another thing is that if parents really know that their children are involved in gambling then I think it is likely that they will immediately stop the activity carried out by their children, and not instead supervise the gambling carried out by their children. After all gambling as a whole is bad because of the significant impact it can have and obviously it can put children's futures at risk.

I think your scenario is a little upside down, where you say that adults are more difficult to overcome in gambling problems, we must understand the difference in character between children and adults, where children are still very unstable and have a very high level of curiosity about anything including gambling, while those who are adults already have common sense, which means they can fully distinguish between good and bad. So in terms of recovery and change for the better I think adults are easier to overcome than small children who are still very unstable in their thinking, for example maybe you have also seen some small children who cry when their wishes are not approved by their parents.

But overall there is absolutely nothing good about the two characters above if indeed both are involved in gambling, of course, however gambling is an activity that is not recommended because of the bad effects that can occur at any time, that's right, one of the things that must be done by the people around him is to try various things to restore his awareness so that he can understand the dangers of gambling.

Collective action works faster in all consequences of life, leaving the work for the government wouldn't get us anywhere. Gambling is vast and banning gambling can't help in stopping gamblers from getting addicted. The government can only attend to people they found in the hospital, then try to administer therapy and cure them from the addiction. If society or parents keep hoarding their wards at home, hoping to see a positive result someday, the child will face a more difficult time, trying to survive his addiction. Nobody can detect a gambling addiction in a person faster than a close friend, parents, or the gambler himself. The government is far from handling such a task. An addict will hardly share his experience with his loved ones unless they engage him in a conversation. The educational sectors are also needed, as you said.

Students are beginning to participate in online gambling, and for a while now, it's become a norm for underage citizens to gamble. This only happens because schools don't look into the lives of students. In today's world, parents hardly spend time with kids, they work hard to generate to clear daily bills. Kids or students spend most of their time in school. When the administration, cautions children about bad gambling experiences and teaches them with examples, it can help reduce the high rate of underage gamblers. Our society is facing lots of problems due to a lack of collaboration from the numerous sectors in charge of citizens and growing kids. The general public only puts it that gambling is bad, without any proof or extra teachings on ways people can avoid being compulsive gamblers or sharing the useful parts of gambling with grown gamblers. Prevention is better than cure, if we can keep ourselves from getting addicted, then no need to fear about the complex treatment of gambling addiction.

While children's gambling habits can still be monitored by their parents, it becomes difficult when adults fall addicted to gambling.
In most cases, their family only identifies the habit when he has already become addicted to it.
The best thing is to do is for the individual to become self aware and manage the risk appetite.
Either we should become responsible towards gambling or never gamble at all.

Yes because you can be addicted to game without risking money, while in gambling, there's always money involved.


no, not all the time as not everyone are capable of correcting their own mistakes. There are gamblers who have severe addiction, they don't know what they are doing anymore as all they do is to follow their urge, that, they can't cure themselves but they need some help either from their family or to the experts.

I agree gambling addiction and gaming addiction are different.
But any addiction could be cured if you would help yourself, it is always up to you to make the change.
Because no matter how many chance you get to change or stop your addiction it is useless unless you really want to stop.
Changed always comes from ourself others might help you change, but it is up to you if you really want to stop your addiction or be consumed by it.

We think that risk management is insanely beneficial for those players, who are feeling irresponsible about gambling.

I hope that's why others think, gambling is a personal choice, it's there for us to have fun and maybe try our luck but it was never recommended to be considered as a way to change our financial aspect in a positive way. Although there are some who were successful in gambling, like sports bettors and card players, but let us not forget they have the skills and are exceptional, we aren't.

The governmnet will keep what they could benefit, and since gambling industry is a billion dollar industry, it could only mean that it's too much to sacrifice for them.

The government's role in gambling addiction is complicated. Our legislators must defend public health, but their reach is limited. Your thesis about society influencing gambling is correct. Certain actions were accepted in our upbringing, affecting our views and choices. Not merely warning about dangers, but identifying the core reasons.

As you say, parent collaboration may be crucial. Many parents notice changes in their children's conduct first. They can prevent addiction first. Effective communication and awareness are key to this technique. Parents must know how to spot gambling addiction and get help.

Gambling addiction demands complex treatment. The community, not just the government or parents, is involved. Educational, supportive, and accessible mental health treatments are needed to address this issue. Never underestimate the power of collective action to improve society.

Since the government doesn't have equipment that can detect or find addicted gamblers around society, they may not be able to reduce or restrict addicted players from gambling. The ball is in the court of the gambler, as he wasn't moved by the government to join gambling. However, it's more of a thing of the society or the environment of the person. Where we grew up has its government and they may have been common with gambling. Hence growing up the person wouldn't have any difficulty choosing gambling as a hobby or money-making scheme. If the government warns against gambling addiction with banners and sets up campaigns around the streets, it may only raise awareness among citizens, and whatever promo is done by the government gets people talking and younger people can then begin to hear about gambling even toddlers.

I think the right option is for the government to align with parents to help them notify the nearest health care center or rehabilitation centers once their ward begins to have abstract behavior, caused by anything; gambling or not. Youths are suffering from different mental sicknesses fueled by unemployment, heartbreaks, loss of a loved one, etc. These things contribute to mental disorders or even Bipolar and if the person involves himself in games like gambling he'd easily get addicted. If parents pay close attention to their wards or children they'll be able to detect a behavior change, maybe the child is beginning to ask for money all the time. Engaging him in a technical parent-child conversation can be a good tool in determining the problem of the child, and then they can work on treatment. Citizens are also a part of the government, without the people, there would be no government. So, we must learn to work alongside the government in stopping gambling addiction and all forms of addiction in society.

The money that revolves in casinos is huge, and if the government legalizes more than 10 casino situations for example in the country then obviously the amount that the government gets from the calculation of all taxes provided by casinos every year is no joke,  the amount is very large. There was once a case in my country where one of the small casinos was caught by the authorities and when they entered the interrogation room they  said that the amount of income they could get in a month could buy 10 houses in urban areas in my area which is of course clear the amount they get from  many gamblers involved especially those who lose is very high.

As you said, not only taxing the casinos but also the people involved in  gambling as a condition for the legality of  gambling in the eyes of the public, so of course this is a new income place for the government with a huge amount of tax, so it means that it will not be that easy for the government to consider opening a rehabilitation  center for addicts, however this is a big advantage, and I'm sure some people  acting in the government will maintain this situation, many rats will continue to dive while drinking water. On the other hand I hope you the public can just think more realistically in situations like this..
