But sometimes not everything we see matches the actual facts, such as judging someone in terms of a shabby appearance and it turns out that his heart is clean or has a much better behavior and nature than people who wear jaz and office workers. So as an officer of course what must be prioritized is some precautions to minimize the risks that can occur in the comfort of other visitors to the casino.

Researching and confirming whether the person is a sane person or really has a mental disorder is something that must be done by the officers, so I will not blame if the officers at the casino are so strict in limiting people who look suspicious in terms of appearance, because after all this is the duty and obligation as an officer who has full responsibility to keep the situation safe and maintain the comfort of the visitors who come.

Sometimes what you see is the truth when it comes to a person's appearance and you really can't help it because you're either being humane but you will be removed from your job so that's how it's going to be sometimes. Sure the dress code would be a good idea but the problem is that if they're really mentally unstable and they're looking like that then you're putting yourself in danger.

I'm in favor too, for the safety of others especially if a person is a legit and clinically diagnosed with mental illness, But if a person is being judged because of physical appearance and there's a proof that this person didn't do anything bad inside the casino/gambling shop then It seems like it would be unfair to them if they were suddenly banned just because of a misjudgment and the way a person dressed. Maybe the best thing to do is to tell and talk to the person about the dress code or the casino themselves should make rules about this matter, not to suddenly ban the person from entering the shop because people think he is mentally unstable even though it has not been proven yet .

Do we have a way to know that someone at a first glance is mentally unstable? Sure you can judge by how they dress but that's not how most of these dress so it's hard to tell, I am in favor of having them barred from gambling because they're likely to hurt themselves or the others in the case that something isn't going their way which is likely to happen when you're gambling.

Gambling platforms are entertainment places and not mental institutions. I think in letting the platform ban people who are mentally unstable/has mental illness will do more harm to them than good. It could be used against them on the grounds of discrimination, which is a very common angle through which people use to gain a hefty paycheck. No one can really know if a person is going through some mental illness or not. I've seen and talked to a lot of people who behave erratically but are really sane people with a lot of substance and depth than what they appear to be.

It is morally right to bar people who is going through some form of mental illness to something that could further destroy them. Then again, gambling places are there to entertain people whilst taking huge money from its patron, and not judge people based on what they appear from the outside.

Shabby clothes or an appearance that can be said to be not good cannot be used as a reference that the person is mentally disturbed or has mental problems because everyone has their own way of dressing, and as long as he and the gambling house staff say he is fine then he is a mentally good person who just doesn't look like a normal person.
My guess is that he is just someone who really likes gambling and to fulfill his desire he works very hard so that his appearance doesn't look good but mentally he is aware of every act of his gambling.

People do really love to judge and would really be believing on things that on whats up into their minds on which it isnt really just that ethical sometimes on making some conclusions and trying out to discriminate into someone or judging them basing on how they do behave and how they do dressed up. Why people cant just let people do play and do things that they do want without needing to make up some assumptions that
people who are mentally stable should only be the ones who would be entering the vicinity? It is really just that too much in speaking about those criteria on which we know that it cant really be just that
applicable considering that anyone could free to play as long they do have the money.

They would really be that kicked out on the place if ever they would really be doing such acts which it isnt already appropriate but judging them on how they do dress and how they do behave
then it is already that too much or really that crossing in the line in speaking about someones right. There are really just those people who are really that
easy to judge basing up on how you do look without even knowing the whole story. lol

There is a saying don't judge a book by its cover. So that's what we or the officers at the casino have to do. But in reality, this is only partially the case because there are still people who only see it from its appearance. When there are people who dress shabbily, they are not well received in a place. But well-dressed people are well received. In many places, many people don't look at someone just by their appearance but overall.

And yes, the officer's job is to ensure that the workplace is safe from anything. They can ask someone to leave the casino premises if officers see them as potentially creating a disturbance there. And if someone has no intention of causing a disturbance, the officers will not do anything and will watch.

And because he had visited the casino very often and only wanted to gamble and when he was finished, he would immediately leave and not disturb the others, the officers allowed him to gamble. The officer didn't see him doing anything strange, and because he was used to it, he just watched the person. The person in the shabby clothes may be in disguise and he is a rich person, especially since the officers already know who he really is and where his money comes from.

However, gambling can attract people from various circles because of the factor of winning from gambling. That's what makes people from lower classes continue to go to gambling places because they still hope to win some money.

Mentally unstable people should not gamble because how can they gamble well when their mental state is not in good condition. But the problem is that casino or betting shop owners don't see this, they don't care about the condition of their players, because money is money, they don't care where and from whom the money comes. What they think about is money and money, and as long as the player doesn't make trouble there, he is free to play as he likes until the money runs out and that is the fact that I see.

The space doesn't belong to anyone, as far as you're in the system and have no secure any solid standings, it means you're just a newbie grooving about looking for evidence. Brilliant gamblers have merge their primary target and also have backup options in cases where their main plans fails, the alternative will carry be triggered from there onwards. We know how risky it is for gamblers trying to suit into the system and I've no clarity of the incidence to expects next other than staying on one side and providing for ourselves. Mentally unstable individuals shouldn't been allow any where close to the bettingshop because they have these recalcitrant attitudes towards these gambling activities and I've seen quite alot of people that have become victims.

Maybe you are right on the point that there seems to be a little misunderstanding in the story that the OP told. And from what I also saw, it seems that he is not talking about an addict; the only thing that seems to worry the OP is the physical condition and clothing of the gambler, which he refers to.

But still, from what I can think of, it seems that the gambler's clothing is not really like that of a beggar. Because the casino staff just let it go, which means it's still normal to look at the gamblers' clothing because if it doesn't distract their customers, maybe this op may have just exaggerated his story.

Yes, that's true as long as the person doesn't make trouble and disturb the other players, then just leave it alone, he's just gambling and after the money runs out he immediately goes home without making a fuss if he loses. After all, the person is a regular customer which means he's used to coming shabby clothes because the most important thing is that the bets are paid according to the betting rate. As long as he doesn't harm other people and doesn't harm the casino then it's fine, and we also don't know if the life of this shabby person is really a poor person or a millionaire who disguises himself so that no one recognizes him playing gambling. Whatever thing always happen in the world gambling as long as he is still gambling in his shabby clothes means he is still said to be someone who can afford to lose money.

Well, thats the problem, usually even people who dress neatly can get into trouble if they experience defeat and are emotional, so we don't need to discriminate against someone just by the way they dress. Even if it's shabby, at least the person is safe and doesn't bother other people or harm other people.

A gambler that causes trouble in the casino, should be tagged mentally ill and shouldn't be allowed to enter the casino. But if another gambler is safe and doesn't fight or destroy any facilities in the casino, he should be allowed to spend his money. Everyone has their space, and nobody disturbs one another, it's a safe place for every gambler who is qualified by age to participate and enjoy his habit. Hence we shouldn't have a bad time with such people as regards gambling. Whenever a person is allowed by the authorities to enter a place, he has been checked long ago and found worthy of visiting. If not he would have been bounced long ago by the security men. Whether a casino or the government should ban mentally ill people from participating in gambling, is a question that has no direct answer. Since most people who are gambling addicts are indirectly mentally ill. And the government or the casino has done nothing to keep them away from gambling or ban them entirely from the habit.

Government for mentally ill people aims to heal them and recover their senses, to maintain a good and quality society. Mental disorder has different stages, and not until one slaps or smashes his TV sets on the floor that he'll be considered mentally ill. The human brain is suffering each day from challenges that compel it to suffer mental illness. But only the strong can withstand and still hold themselves back from the temptation of getting aggressive on certain matters. But when it gets obvious, the person can be taken to the hospital to receive some injections to help them sleep. And cool their brain. Gambling also leads to mental illness, so, should Op also wonder about banning gambling in countries where youths are going crazily in debt due to problem gambling? With all these odds surrounding gambling, a person or gambler must have done something remarkably wrong to be banned from using gambling. Which may have nothing to do with his dressing.

The gambling owner never allow the person with unsound mind,because most probably they will fight with the gambling site.They never realized the importance of the gambling site,they will fight without any proof with the gambling site.So the gambling site will delete Or ban their account because of the unprofessional behavior because of less sound of mind.The reason itself help us to earn more money by the technical skills in the gambling site.The physical activity and apperance was not the important factor here.Because the most brilliant person in the many sector will look like the simple person till they prove their own business skills in the gambling site.

If its a physical center of casino gambling can restrict anyone they feel like to stop from gambling, their is something I notice very well in gambling if you mentally derailed their is every possiblity that they will restrict the gambler not gamble with them when they notice, and they can only do so when you come to the gambling centre to obstruct their business, I know very well that if they dont have a genuine reason to ban someone not to enter their premises it will cause a shortage of patronage, that is why some centers of gambling betting environment always compromise with their customers

There is a quite difference between some who is mentally unstable and an underage. Even the gambling rules go against underage but does nothing about mentally unstable person. Something, being rough and dirty may not really mean is fully mentally unstable. He may look like that out of drug abuse. For him to have known how to make predictions and where to place a bet, means he still have some percentage of being mentally stable. I don't see anything bad in it placing bet for him since no rule against that in the country or the betting site.

I disagree with you. Someone who is not mentally stable is not supposed to be allowed to gamble. I know there is no law that stops them from gambling or that says they should be rejected when they come to gamble, but to me, it doesn’t make sense. You don’t even know how they are getting the money they are gambling with. If someone is mentally unstable, they can do anything just to get money; they might end up hurting people just to get money. You don’t expect an unstable person to be given a job, so the question is, where are they getting the money they are using to gamble?
 
If you are running a business, there are some things you shouldn’t just do because of money, so you can allow an underage person to gamble at your place just because you don’t care, all you want is money. If you know that someone is unstable, then don’t allow them to gamble.

Mentally unstable people in my opinion, shouldn’t be allowed to gamble as they’re literally not stable mentally. But In the case you stated, how can we really tell that person is mentally unstable?
Understandably, we can form an opinion based on information we’ve got and based on the looks, one could easily conclude about his mental state.

“Do not judge a book by its cover”. I’ve found this to be extremely accurate as things are not always as they appear to be.
Everyone seems to be fine with the “mentally unstable” man playing and he behaves himself better than a lot of supposedly mentally sane people. The establishment also doesn’t mind taking his money and letting him gamble.

I suppose it could be done but it will be way more difficult and expensive than what it may seem at first glance, since this will require for a psychiatrist to diagnose a person and then that person should be added to a database that all casinos around the country use to forbid those people to gamble, but even if that system was put in place it will be incredibly easy to get around it, as the only thing you will have to do is to avoid being diagnosed so you can gamble as much as you want anyway.

If every gambling shop starts to crosscheck gamblers by the way they dress before they can gamble, would you think they will be having inflow and outflow of gamblers every given day without them losing thousands of customers coming to gamble in their gambling shops due to the way they dress?

For every gambling shop you see, expect to see unkempt dressers, the reasonable and unreasonable individuals in the gambling house, and every one of them acts according to why they are there, to gamble and leave without causing a nuisance. However, no gambling shop prohibits someone who is shabbily dressed from coming in. Everyone is allowed to come in the way they are as long as they are well-behaved.
