Yes, there are always such people. I know that people gather privately in closed online poker rooms and play poker for money there.
Others started betting on eSports. In principle, this is everyone’s business, the main thing is to take care of yourself. You cannot tell others what to do.

I heard from my Mom that some of our neighbors who received financial support from the government were used to buy alcoholic beverages and gamble instead of using it as an emergency fund during the pandemic. Gambling addicts lose their sense of responsibility, as mentioned by some people the worse case scenario would be for some people sell organs to black market to satisfy their greed.
Yeah, I don't know why people have this kind of poor mindset, the government is trying to help them in the pandemic of COVID-19 but they have this kind of mindset and use the money to their greed use it to gamble or buy things that is not essential. A lot of people here in our country are caught gambling even though it is not allowed to go outside since digital currency is not really adopted here in our country they just go in the neighborhood and play.Having this poor mindset will make you poor and stay poor, without a job to make a living they should be wise where to spend their money especially the money came from the government.
They received support from the government, they were being helped that's why they don't mind if they just spend the support money in gambling or in any activities. People tend to burn the money especially if it is not coming from their hard work. Also, this might be their reason to satisfy themselves because there is no such thing they can do during this lockdown.
They should really be taught by some lesson so that they do realize that those aide shouldnt really be used in other purposes but rather should be focused into their needs.
Taxpayers are the ones who do sacrifice on paying up just for them to benefit out but they are doing something wrong.
For sure they are going to realize this if the pandemic situation gets worse here in our country. They should just save the money for emergency or for their needs in this time of pandemic I think gambling is not a good practice for poor citizens.
They are so many people that are complaining online about the government not doing its job and not providing the needs of the people in the lockdown or ECQ, but the people is not using the money for what is it for.

I often see some posts from social media saying that there are some people who are being arrested because they are caught gambling using the money that the government has given to them.
Is that really a thing? By receiving the $1.2k check, are you obliged to use it for necessities? If not, then I consider the arrests pure abuse of service.. If I receive the check and use the entirety of it to buy decks of cards, why would I be arrested for it..If someone has a bad depression and they're even arrested now for purchasing something they found a refuge in, their mental health will be damaged even worse than it was..
We can't do anything about them I think as we can't change their way of thinking with regards to money. We just let the authority do something about these gambling addicts who are using the money in things that can't help them.
That's such a fascist statement. Let's force everyone not to use their monthly wage for gambling/alcohol/smoking too and monitor them on a 24/7 basis to make sure they're "properly" using the money they earn. I am very sure that many did not use each penny out of the $1.2k checks for necessities only. We should have the freedom to choose what to buy and what not to. My definition for "proper usage" of money is very different to yours. I see more and more people writing posts everywhere as if we're looking for a world of fascism and that kinda scares me..

That is what gambling can do.I often see some posts from social media saying that there are some people who are being arrested because they are caught gambling using the money that the government has given to them. The liquor ban has been lifted already here but not in some places but overall, it is not right to use the money they gave to something that isn't important and will not help the whole family. We can't do anything about them I think as we can't change their way of thinking with regards to money. We just let the authority do something about these gambling addicts who are using the money in things that can't help them.

Even the government officials who supposed to be the one to stop people from gambling, they are also gambling. It's very ironic how these people really have the guts to violate the rules wherein it's either, they can't afford to feed themselves, or they should be the one imposing the rules since that's their job.

Although the poor people who get the aid will not spend in gambling because they need the aid to live.
But still the best way to control this misuse of aid is to send the aid to the needy persons in the form of necessary goods and foods and do not give them cash. This way they cannot spend the cash in gambling activities.
This is a very practical suggestion. We should buy the goods ourself for the needy. This will not only help the poor in this pandemic situation but also the funds will be used in the best way. Few of my friends work in charitable organization, i will definitely give them this idea.

To relax, actually, people will have more chance to do many things, especially with their friends or family at their home. But yes, if they get addicted, they can become don't care about anything because what they think is only playing gambling. It is tough to tell them about the danger of addicting to them unless they come to us and tell their addiction, and they need to solve the addicting.
We cannot force to stop gambling if they don't realize by themselves because they won't listen to us and they will still play gambling. Perhaps, only the family members that can tell them if they really addicted so they can search for the way to cure them.
This pandemic is without a doubt creating new addicts to gambling, there are reports that addictions of all kind including drugs and alcohol are going up as people are trying to find ways to deal with social isolation, under normal circumstances people will be able to do a lot of things with their family that will keep them out of those dangerous habits but now that is not possible, not only that many people have lost their jobs because of this pandemic and this is creating uncertainty in many of them and they see in gambling an opportunity to make money and when all of those factors come together it is not difficult to see how people get addicted to gambling even in the current circumstances. We cannot force to stop gambling if they don't realize by themselves because they won't listen to us and they will still play gambling. Perhaps, only the family members that can tell them if they really addicted so they can search for the way to cure them.

A gambler will always find a way and means to gamble, here in our country you cannot stop some gamblers from gambling they will always find ways, our government is giving a dole out and implementing amelioration to those people who are badly in need of money, but unfortunately, there are people who receive dole out from the government and receiver of amelioration, gamble the money they received and bet cockfighting and card games, so many of these people are caught and reported on the media.
You really cannot gambler they always find a way even in the worst-case situation like the pandemic, how about in your country do you have some people who cannot stopped to gamble even when your country is in lockdown

It is a sad matter that instead of using the money that they have received from the government to buy goods and necessities to survive this pandemic they have still the guts to use the money to gambling. That was really an irresponsible usage of money because if you were an individual that really do not have money and have given a chance to have one but chooses to use it into unnecessary things, then you can be considered to be out of your mind. I have also heard and read some news that the money obtained from the amelioration program are not just used for gambling but also for buying illegal drugs. Got to think of it, in this situation wherein pandemic is still on and people do not certainly have job to get money, still there are people who chooses to gamble and possess illegal drugs using the money that comes from the government that should serve as a help to survive this pandemic. Such an awful mindset some people do have even at this time of crisis.

That's very sad to hear. I guess their families are unhappy about it. But sometimes, addicted gamblers will follow their desires at the expense of the needs of his family. I really hope those kind of gamblers realized what they are doing and take care of what is needed. Don't wait for something worse to happen before you regret your actions.

That is disappointing.
They have gambled the money that they should use for buying goods. And there's more deserving people that should have been given by that money. I don't know about the people that surrounds me because I'm an introvert but if someone is totally addicted, he really can't stop himself even if his meal is at stake.

We've seen worse than this actually. Some will even bet their kidneys to satisfy.
They are hopefully trying to earn easy money from the money they got from their government and of course, everyone around them got some of it and also want to grow their money. This isn't hard to figure what happens in the ground, two, three to four men having the same amount of money and they all want to have more.
They must think of the situation that the world is facing today and set aside what they're into. The problem with financial is hitting everybody's pocket and they have to be considerate with the situation and think of how they must spend the money wisely.
They can cut a bit from that amount if they really want to gamble but don't lose it completely.

People can gamble in this pandemic provided that they are aware on the restrictions, they are aware what they are doing and take the precautionary actions, if they are playing with card games they can wear mask, or face shield, a globes and be two to three meter apart and they should know each other, the worst thing and risky is playing with strangers at this point in time.

It would really come into that situation and yes, its part of this reality where addiction will really lead you into that kind of worst option to take just to fulfill into those things that they had in mind.
For people who are still into their right minds and awareness, then this action is totally dumb but when you are in the situation on where addiction is severe, then your decision making and self-awareness on decisions
is highly affected thats why we do see these kind of circumstances in spite of the condition on where there are really people who would do all sort as long they can able to gamble.

So you mean a poor person with no money will sell his body parts to play gambling ? If he lose all that money then there will be no option left for him but to die only. That's why the gambling addict persons do not care about anything and no Pandemic situation can change his mind. He can't live without gambling.

P.S: I feel I should edit my post because few people didn't get the underline logic on this post. I don't support selling something to gamble, no matter what. What I said is from my own life experience, everyone doesn't have the same intelligence and willing to live the way we live, unfortunately. They just seek opporutntiees and pay the cost...
