I don't think they should be restricted but they should be warned about the risks and dangers gambling has. These soldiers aren't just bored, I am certain a lot of them are suffering from mental trauma caused by the war and using gambling to cope or as a way to keep them occupied. Sadly when people use gambling as a coping mechanism there is a chance that they become dependent on it. Studies have been done and shown that people who use gambling as a coping mechanism for the issues they have has a chance of getting addicted to gambling.
Warning about the danger in gambling is not just nothing for some people, they will still continue to play irresponsibly. The reason why gambling is being restricted in the country could be that the danger and risk in gambling can be something very dangerous the soldiers. It is possible that they are bored because of the ongoing war and we know how boredom can influence some people gambling lifestyle which can make one to become addicted, and losing some amount of money can also cause the soldiers not to be in a good state of mind. This can be the reason why gambling is being restricted in the country to save the soldiers from the hands of gambling effect that can run one's life.

The concern was nice is there but just give it to them as their lives are in danger and whatever they have to do to relieve that stress should be given to them. The thought of making concern for their life when the war is done is probably due to the fact that they don't want our brave soldiers to be out of money. But then, I guess there is a need to coordinate with these casinos and if they can give some credits to their soldiers that are in constant and tiresome battle since 2 years ago, cmiiw.
The known quote about "for every rule, there is an exception" should be applied here. These soldiers have traumas, stress and everyone that can contribute to relieve that should do their own. And one of it is to give them their own rest time to gamble if they want to or to play mobile games but one big incentive is to talk about this war and what misunderstanding and mishaps that Ukraine and Russia has gone with so that everyone will be back home with their families.

At first if the country doesn't restricts soldiers from gambling then it's not bad gamble when they are at free zone and free time maybe should apply all technicalities not the get addicted into it. The main reason I should say that soldiers shouldn't gamble is to remain vigilant at their zone otherwise they could be easily being decieved by their activities online while gambling to increase their chances of higher payout which I think is a bad habits at the first place. The best is to restrict every military personnel to stop and quit gambling and anyone caught gambling should be sack from duty in order for others to learn a serious lesson.

Gambling can be played anywhere - one can even gamble while making love.On the battlefield - gambling is not a good option for soldiers for whatever reason, but I agree that I have no capacity to blame or justify the action as long as they know what the cause and effect are.
When we imagine a battlefield situation – soldiers may never have time to think about how to relieve stress. It is likely that they will be worse off as a result of gambling – but this is an assumption that is essentially a worry that they will fail to focus on the situation around them.
IF someone would really be caught on playing gambling on the time of its service then it would really be definitely be that reported and might be that removed to service because this isnt something that just
right on which playing up something when you are on duty on which this really violates up their rules on which this isnt really just that limited to soldiers but in other workers or employees as well.
Gambling isnt really that bad as long you are really that putting it on the right time and on the right moment on which you wouldnt really be just that playing around when you are on duty.
On the moment that you would really be playing around on the moment that you are on duty specially you are a soldier then you arent just that putting up your life in trouble or risks
but also you are really that making yourself trying to lose your job and also with your life on which this isnt something worth.
Soldiers using gambling to cope with stress. To be honest I agree with this statement I mean war is crazy thing frenn it is hurt physically and mentally by a soldier and we don't know what is going to happen in the warzone
I don't know why this sounds really weird to me but, i won't gamble to ease myself of any form of stress; that's like trying to drive at 240 MPH on a narrow street cus I'm stressed out. It's going to do more harm than good in my opinion.When we imagine a battlefield situation – soldiers may never have time to think about how to relieve stress.

bahahaha..... For the fact that a certain platoon of soldiers are deployed to a particular warzone doesn't keep them fighting war day and night. They normally have resting periods - a time to eat, sleep, pray and watch entertaining sessions and movies just like you do. Only that all of this is done in turns to keep the coast safe from invaders.

This is a topic that transcends the understanding of anyone who dares to give an opinion here, it is such a peculiar situation that no one is qualified to respond, there is no one who can give an opinion here on that topic. It is so complex that being in favor results in an emotional conflict to give objectivity.(vice versa)
Consequently, I do think we if must agree on is that it is a war unequal and unjust war. Hence wish we would bet on Peace.

do you think soldiers who have left home for a long time and are going through boredom should be restricted from engaging in gambling which helps reduce their stress?
What kind of dumb question is that?
First of all, I am pretty sure that they are not "bored". Rather they are scared to die and are seeking ways to distract themselves from the oncoming horror which they will have to face.
Such people can be easily influenced into gambling all their money away, since they think it won't matter if they die, anyway.
So they are a vulnerable group which should be kept away from gambling.
Wether they ban soldiers or not gambling will still go on in the military section. I don't support government baning soldiers from gambling, apart from them being force men who Work for the safety of the society, I don see any difference between them and the normal citizen, because the right of the citizen of a country is not bound to some persons only. Though there may be some reasons to why government want to ban gambling among soldiers, Which could be the result and Action that may take place due to losing in gambling. Losing in gambling brings the Worst part of a person and may be prone to distruction. A soldier may use the anger of losing in gambling to treat a person under his custody so badly that it may Leed to demotion or removing him from force due to his actions. Or playing gambling may distract a soldier from his duty post because gambling comes with addiction which a soldier in duty may Start gambling and lose control or access to his security post, by lose guarding which the enermy may penetrate due to lack of Focus. Or gambling may increase the level of a soldier stress and anxiety after so much lose put together with not seeing his family and losing his fund all together.
Overall gambling has a bad stigma in the eyes of society, but I would also say that depending on how the situation is, if indeed gambling can be made as an activity to distract from worries about the possibility of death when in a war situation then I think it is not a problem to be made as an option. I am sure that the situation in war must be very stressful because lives are at stake, but if gambling can be used as an alternative to relieve anxiety and restore a sense of enthusiasm, it is not wrong to do so, but I would also say that using gambling as an alternative to relieve stress will only be felt by responsible gamblers.
Because since in most cases gambling is very likely to be a trigger for stress especially when done with the wrong mindset and goals, meaning when you are in a war situation and for example you gamble with the wrong mindset and goals then obviously it is the perfect combination to trigger more significant tension or stress.

It seems that it is no longer relevant to compare the event from 800 years ago with the present time, at that time perhaps the soldiers often gambled with the things that they looted from the war/spoils of war, and nowadays things like that are no longer allowed, pillage and spoliation is a war crime.
So, I think its normal if there is a rule that prohibits gambling for active soldiers who are on duty in the field, because they are required to focus on their main duties as soldiers, especially if they are in a state of war.
There are still many better ways to relieve stress for soldiers in the field than allowing them to gamble, such as providing proper food, rotating soldiers on the front lines, providing lines of communication that are always open so they can contact their families at any time, etc.

Using gambling to overcome the stress of war will not be a good idea because they will gets another problem that can comes anytime. Losing their money in gambling can be the next things that can happens and many people will experience that because not many people/soldiers will wins. Once they lose their money in gambling, they will be angry and hard to accepts that lose as they can use more money to keeps playing gambling but that can triggers more losses.

At first, I just wanted to relieve stress but then losing money became more stressful, it didn't even solve the problem.-snip-
Actually, if gambling is only done on their group and not on online gambling, it is still quite good.
Such as gambling on poker games with the bet on biscuits or food they have, so this is only internal gambling between friends.
If gambling extends on online games, or after they are not on duty, it will really mess them up.
Gambling is not really good and will not relieve stress just like that.

The governments should gives solution to their soldiers who backs to their home and not lets choose whatever they wants. The trauma after war will still there and they are just human that can triggers to do bad things if they lose control. They must have other positive activities that can teach them how to controls that so they will not doing something bad that can gives bad experience to them.

In the simply terms War is very stressful for soldier I mean war is stressful for everyone that involved in. Because of that maybe some solider find gambling as a tool to remove the stress and maybe some of them are go all in because YOLO and he don't know gonna live tomorrow.
But like you have said gambling during the war might lead soldiers falling into debt or even worse than that. But what do u guys think?

Soldiers receive a good salary for their participation in combat operations. I mean those who work under contract, and they receive this money every month. Of course, if they are shocked by what is happening around them, they want to quickly feel something other than the horror of war and the constant destruction all around. And it turns out that they decide to replace emotions with excitement. And the online casino gives them this opportunity. I want to believe that playing one of them gets jackpots and then immediately leaves the war. After all, a lot of money can change the lives of these soldiers.
[...] Now, do you think soldiers who have left home for a long time and are going through boredom should be restricted from engaging in gambling which helps reduce their stress? If gambling does not have any effect on their performance on the waterfront and they gamble responsibly, do you think there should be restrictions?
I think they don't need any restrictions as long as they are gambling responsibly, and should be better if they played outside of the working time. Basically the Soldiers should have a good mentality regarding their performance which was already ingrained in their souls. Same as what happened in my country, the soldiers or even the cops are usually gamble outside of their working time and never used their uniform, because They often gamble at computer rental, which are public places.
I don't think they should be restricted but they should be warned about the risks and dangers gambling has. These soldiers aren't just bored, I am certain a lot of them are suffering from mental trauma caused by the war and using gambling to cope or as a way to keep them occupied. Sadly when people use gambling as a coping mechanism there is a chance that they become dependent on it. Studies have been done and shown that people who use gambling as a coping mechanism for the issues they have has a chance of getting addicted to gambling.
Really the soldiers encounters lot of emotional depressions even when at the war fronts, for the sake that they're soldiers doesn't mean they don't feel freedom pleasures.
Denying them from gambling may even weaken their straights on the warfront because most at times when they find ease at the war ground, those who gambles could have it as a source to dilute their anxieties.
While at the war front i don't think they'd gambling for profit which is where it'd be biased to them but there at the war ground they're more of gambling for fun which they also need to feel satisfied if be gambling would be an option for any.
Rather a district sanctions should be warned amongst them so that they don't get addicted to gambling while in the war front.
I believe it's almost always how you are going to see and how you evaluate it. Soldiers have a different experience with everyone because there could be traumas and could be possible mental health issues. If it helps them, I think it's important that it's the responsible way.
Maybe an addition of support with not just gambling could hep the soldiers cope. It's a very complicated issue IMO and there maybe different reactions with different soldiers.

Online gambling and access to mobile phones have made it very easy for soldiers to engage in betting under any condition.

I think not a single soldier would focus on gambling during battle action. No one would be so stupid to risk life in exchange of winning some money. What soldiers do to kill stress that is none of our business. Imo we can never understand and measure the level of stress they are in. Imo they can do what ever they want at their free time. I think it would be a silly proposal to restrict gambling as stress kill activity. What next? Restrict smoking as stress killing activity for soldiers? Restrict it also to make soldiers more healthy? During war, they dont have much variability of entertainment, time killers, hobby and etc. So I see nothing bad if they gamble.

There is nothing wrong that the soldier has done but he must realize that gambling has a high risk so he should not be too carried away by the atmosphere of depression by relying on the gambling game he is running.
And I think maybe the soldier because he has trained too hard and he also needs entertainment in a simple way, namely gambling online.
But still, he must go through this experience carefully because if he is caught, it might be a threat to his career.
