Topic: Should mentally unstable people be allowed to gamble? - page 5. (Read 2324 times)

Certain gambling places may be required by law, ethics, and morals to check on the mental health of people who show signs of being unstable. There may not be clear rules on how to refuse service to people who are mentally ill and can't make smart choices. It is important to find a balance between safe gambling and personal freedom. Being proactive and working with the police and mental health workers when needed to offer support or advice for people who want to get help may be more effective.

Casinos still prioritize their business, they promote casinos to the public without discrimination, especially just because of appearance, the only requirement for gamblers to enter the casino house is that they bring money to bet, then the service will still be prioritized and if they don't bring money, it means that person is not for gambling and other people only then can we conclude that people who come to the casino don't bring money to gamble, so their health is affected, they could be addicted and don't have the money to continue gambling.

Yes, gambling can indeed make mentally weak people more psychologically disturbed if the gambling is unhealthy, I don't think we can blame gambling for causing people to experience mental disorders because it is the gambler's own fault, the casino is only carrying out its duty to promote it to the public with the aim of making a profit and doesn't care about the mental health of its users as long as they can still make a profit.

What happens is that I say it because now we have to be very tactful with respect to people who are like that, that is, with a single complaint they make people unstable, or who are in treatment, or who are in some period of time in Try that, because they are going to make it viral, and believe me, at a viral level, speaking badly about a casino or any other entity will cause things to get complicated, because once in a while the perons cross it out like that, but of course, considering things, it is the most healthy right?
  Maybe you see things as they are private entities and the casinos reserve the right of admission is what they can base on not accepting people like that anymore, but it is something complicated, I see it that way, what you say is ideal, but you have to to be or have tact , perhaps I love it from the point of view that is more focused on what a person like that feels, but unfortunately a person like that cannot enter a casino, unless he enters with someone who is attentive to that person. person.

Currently, the ages that are mentally unstable can become a social problem, where governments can give them help, but when they are things of fun, whether they are gay, whether they are discos, where there are people who do not have the slightest respect sometimes by others, because they are treated badly, and this is what I mean, when people treat them badly they become somewhat violent, because it is their nature to react to those slights and everything that has to do with that type of treatment, of course this is what I can see according to what is discussed here, in the country I am in, if a person treats someone badly who is like that, or who has a disability, that is as if the 7 plagues, that is something very bad, they put you in prison, you go to trial, you spend a long time in jail, you have to spend a lot of money paying for lawyers, and since they are on camera , even more so, those are the things that I say that sometimes there are to take care of yourself.

If you ask me that question they are will be one answer is no mentally unstable people shouldn't be allowed to do gambling. Because it can be very dangerous if a mentally unstable people are on the table of gambling. Just as a mentally unstable person is prevented from everything, if they commit a crime, they are not brought under the law, just as it is better not to let them gamble.

Do they actually know what they are doing on a real sense, because they will virtually want to participate in everything they see others doing and stopping them could cause trouble Incase of the tempered ones among them, so I don't see it a good alodes allowing a mental I'll person to gamble in the first place, there's no need for that, gambling isn't child's play.


Most family members will always want to do without the appearance of a mental I'll person in their family, such a person would have been excluded right before they start gambling, they wouldn't want anything that may spoil their fun, but that will actually depend on the kind of condition such a mental I'll person is having.

Those individuals who are mentally unstable are more interested in gambling and other activities because they are easily addicted towards these fields. May be they don't have control over their thoughts or they are unable to think wisely.

If such type of people see their family members to be involved in gambling then they think that it will be a good field as other family members find it good too but when they enter into gambling then they never can leave it and wants to play again and again.

Such people don't have control on their decisions and most of them initiate gambling just for spending their time but instead of time spending they aquire bad addiction and now they can never stop to gamble.

that's right, especially if you just glance at the way they dress. of course it feels unethical. as long as he brings money and does not disturb other players I think it's okay to play gambling at the casino. especially if you see someone's character is different from one another.

I don't think we should say "he was just a gambling addict", actually the reason why @OP asking about mentality unstable is might result become a gambling addict, if he was a gambling addict, that means he shouldn't stop to gamble lol.

In offline casino (assuming it's the legal one) is quite strict and they don't allow a gambling addict to gamble. But it's hard to distinguish between a high roller and a gambling addict.

Mentally unstable people can behave quite normally and place bets in gambling, but maybe this is the whole point - there are many more people who lose than those who win. Maybe the owners don’t want to offend these people in this way, because if they lose, it will be very sad. I’m sure it’s much harder to make money if you’re mentally unstable, and you can lose it very quickly. So the owners can see this as a reason for the risk in which, after another loss, such a person will come to them and declare that he did not control himself and provide some kind of certificate from a medical institution. I just suggested some options, but there may be more.

Yes, because appearance determines how other people judge us, we should wear good clothes, because it is impossible to go to a place where many people wear inappropriate clothes or messy clothes. In my opinion it's like that, it's impossible for them to go to a place with lots of people wearing clothes that are unpleasant to look at because that will disturb the comfort of other people too of course.

It's true what you said when it comes to appearance, of course you have to pay close attention to this. Of course the casino security must be able to see which people are suitable to enter the casino and which are not suitable to enter the casino. In my opinion, the casino must hire people to guard the entrance, and those who are mentally unstable can still gamble if they have money. and wear clothes that are pleasing to other people's eyes.

If the person is already mentally unstable then it will be due to the environment. It is very important to manage money for proper gambling. Managing finances is never easy for a mentally ill person. He will be mentally weak and will not be able to do any work properly. If he is mentally damaged due to gambling then he should be called addicted.

If he is mentally unstable, he might make a fuss when he is in the casino, especially when he wins or loses. He might scream to express his feelings, which disturbs the people gambling in the casino. But if we look at what the officer said, the person was not bothering other people and just wanted to gamble. He always came to the casino and gambled. After that, he immediately left the casino. The etiquette may be about him dressing shabbily and sloppy like other people but that's okay because as long as he has money to gamble and doesn't bother other people, he can still enter the casino to gamble. Maybe that's why the officers didn't throw him out of the casino because if he turned out to be disruptive and causing a scene in the casino, the officers wouldn't have let him into the casino in the first place.

Discrimination is wrong, especially when the person has done no bad to the society. Being in a bad shape or wearing some dirty clothes doesn't mean a person is mentally disabled. Some of the factors used in the OP in describing a mentally disordered person, isn't enough in determining if a person is mentally ill or not. Whoever visits the casino and destroys a machine or yell at random people, regardless of his diamond chains and watches he's wearing, is mentally ill and will be thrown out of the casino, immediately. Such players don't need to be reminded that the gambling house is not for them, even in their next days of visiting the casino he'd be bounced out. But anybody who respects himself and controls his reactions while gambling, not minding his cheap clothes, is a responsible gambler and should be respected.

In real-life casinos, I agree they shouldn't be allowed or perhaps there is enough staff to make sure others are not troubled. It also depends on how the person acts because I have known some mentally ill people in past and they were the least harmful people although they were unpredictable and you don't know what they will say next. Being mentally ill or unstable doesn't equate to being dangerous .

As far as online casinos are concerned, there is no risk for anyone apart from the person himself who might lose all his money overnight due to the instability. For them, it's their family's responsibility to make sure they are not gambling too much if at all. Secondly, the casino staff must be well trained to realize if a player is desperate and lock their account in such conditions but of course, these casinos love such players.

It is bad that some people divide people into categories. Mentally unstable or mentally stable. What next? Use skin color to determine who is allowed to gamble or not? There is no obvious connection between two examples, but the wind blows from that side. Everyone should be allowed to gamble. If mentally unstable person knows the rules, why should not he be allowed to use his money the way he wants. Should casino or dealer treat him differently? No. Should they try to get any kind of advantage due to gamblers mental instability? Absolutely not. Should mentally unstable gambler ask or demand for special attention because of his condition? Also no. When both parties do everything under the rules, there is never a problem.

Good point and it is hard to definitively say who is mentally unstable because if in a group of 5 idiots you talk sense, then they start calling you idiot. Casino have security in place for if someone acts violently.

There is no parameter to determine who is mentally stable and to what extent. And if there is no set parameter then it has to be handled separately for each case. You cannot create a rule for a set of people who are hard to define to start with.

Isn't this the same as asking should criminals be allowed to gamble? Well, how do you determine one is a criminal? There is no way possible and hence the casino has to deal with case by case. If they feel someone is a potential harm to others, they will throw him out.

Casinos welcome anyone with the means to enter. I think this is a commercial decision that reflects society's view of riches and leisure. Casinos unintentionally promote non-discrimination based on appearance or social status in their pursuit of profit. Is inclusion morally responsible? Should casinos worry about their customers' money or mental health? Business ethics and personal freedom blur in this complex subject

I believe everyone is free to gamble has substantial limitations. As long as adults are legal, gambling is a personal choice. However, what about social and psychological effects? Gambling seduces the weak. Businesses must be considered in promoting responsible conduct. Casinos follow the law, but their ethical regulations on who can bet, especially for people with mental health issues, are complex and poorly explored

If it's natural then that means that it's easy to accept, they've got some mental problems that need addressing, what more red flags do we need to stop someone like that from entering the premises that might cause a big disturbance that can affect your other customers? Should that mentally unstable person have a meltdown first and hurt themselves and others for us to do something? I don't think that's right because if there's a way that something can be prevented from happening, there's no way that the prevention isn't done because some deemed it wrong and that we try not to judge other people. You've said it already in your 2nd paragraph, that they don't bring anything good so why still have some hesitation to be in agreement with me that they shouldn't be allowed?

I think ethical issues with gambling are yet to be solved. Mentally unstable doesn't mean a person lacks intelligence to gamble in my opinion. Psychological issues are hard to diagnose even with modern healthcare. Many people can't exactly relate with people with psychological ilnesses or disorders. So in my opinion, people with psychological problems will very likely to not be allowed to gamble in future, probably in 10 years or something. I think humanity is bit too underdeveloped to decide on these issues yet.

From your description it seems that you are just assuming that the man is mentally unstable by the way he is dressed. As long as somebody has the capabilities to understand what they are doing then it is up to the casino to decide if they wan to provide their service to them. They aren't taking advantage of him by allowing him to use money he earned in the way he chooses.

Mental instability can be subjective. Somebody can be neurodivergent and exhibit strange behavior and yet is still capable of being CEO of a billion dollar company, like Elon Musk for example. If Elon Musk wasn't rich and well dressed some people also would think he was too unstable to be allowed to gamble.
