it is already obvious with people does not having something to do then what should they turn to? either Gaming or gambling and many chooses gambling because of the chance to earn and more fun and thrill than normal gaming.
lucky that i already resigned in my addiction so there is no chance that i will be including to those who increased the gambling activities this pandemic.

Especially by now social media post can easily access by anyone and for sure many will be hype if someone will post their wealth over the net then claim that they got this money from playing certain casinos they promote. But we cannot also deny that many choose to gamble its because they don't have something to do and this is their resort to kill their boring times.

Also is the reason why numbers of online casino shoot up and gain crazy success during this times.

Before now gambling was seen as an irresponsible activity reserved for only some set of person's but the hardship that came with the pandemic changed a whole lot of things and forced so many who detested gambling at first to start gambling just to meet up with their daily bills. The only issue this caused is the increase in addictors

In my opinion, it is difficult to use gambling to earn money to pay for goods, works and services.

Gambling is entertainment. Online casinos are entertainment in the virtual space. It helps relieve stress.

The exception is the game of poker. Professional poker players consistently make money with their skills. It is not simple. Including from the point of view of psychology. Even the best player can have months when they lose rather than win...

You need to be prepared for this.

this is one thing with researches we can't really get 100% of the data correctly but with statistics you can get a clear picture of society if the data is reliable
but I agree with you commment, spending more time on it is likely to make it a habit, could be right

Yes, there are no accurate data. But given they used the same criteria when conducting that research, they get a different result compared to usual (prior pandemic). If the data will be extracted again today, I'm sure there are now changes since in most parts of the globe, especially in the UK, people's activities are now not limited to only gambling.

yes, many places already did reopenings and are getting back to usual rythm that they had before the pandemics
let's hope there aren't new viruses and pandemic weaves for a while, hopefully

Maybe not just in UK. I see a lot of gambling ads on some of my country's social media. Although gambling is banned in my country, but I am not very familiar with online gambling. Maybe it will be difficult to monitor by the state. Pandemic for almost 2 years more makes people quite bored, it makes people do fun activities including gambling. The creation of this type of gambling is also quite a lot like a game so that such a person does not feel like they are gambling. So I think there's a close relationship between the covid pandemic and the increase in gambling.

in my country gambling ads are forbidden so we don't get these
where do you live?

we probably saw some raise in boardgames and chess with the pandemics, haven't thought about that.

It's just that some people see financial aid from the government during a pandemic as free money, which is why they spend it so easily. It is unlikely that any of them would spend their hard-earned casino money. Either these people are simply not sufficiently aware of the risks of gambling.

Probably this can be the reason for the increase of players but still some gamblers are using their hard earn money in the wrong way especially if they are too attached in gambling. The increase also because of the lockdown where physical casinos are not operating, gamblers learn how to play online as their alternative. Gamblers will always find a way to gamble, we can’t fully stop them from this.

There are many card games that allow the gambler to experience a sense of excitement without having to play for money.

It doesn't matter where a gambler ^{[a person addicted to gambling]} get his money from. As long as they want to gamble, they will still do it even if they have to owe it. I have noticed that there is always a way for the gambler to fulfill his desire to gamble, it is a behavior that is hard to stop when they are too addicted to their gambling.

Take my word for it, when a gambler has nothing to eat he will not go spend his last money in the casino. He will buy food with it in order not to die of hunger, as it is a necessary need unlike gambling. Very often all the problems are written off as gambling addiction but in fact the problem is not in the addiction but in the thoughtlessness of the person and not understanding that most players will leave their money in the casino no matter how hard they try to win.

That's also the reason why people don't want the pandemic to be over. Why work when the government gives you free pay checks? And like you said, if the money is not needed for their survival, it becomes casino chips and they don't even need to pay anything which is the best part.

If I was getting them free chips, I would do the exact same thing.

The rate at which people gamble due to the pandemic was alarming.Because there was no work,people could not do anything because of Covid19,it really made the rate at which people gamble to be very high.
The period was a time when no one could move an inch,or go to anywhere,the only people that were active are the health workers.It got to the extend that at some point I begin to think of gambling,because it seems gambling was the only solution out of boredom and poverty.
So many people joined the line of gambling because of the deadly virus.

I can attest to that , because My cousin , Uncle and even my Wife learns to gamble because of Boredom brings by Corona Virus.
My Wife only use some small funds but still the idea of learning to gamble when all Her life does not exist in life.

Yes it is definitely true that gambling has increased in this pandemic time. The main reason behind this is obviously the lock down issue and every one sitting has home has started doing things on net. And those who already gambled little bit got more free time and that resulted in gambling more and i am one of them as well.

not only because we are mostly has nothing to do and sitting in our houses , but many has desperately wanted to double their funds to survive this pandemic but they end up losing .
they have learn how bad trying to make more money out of gambling because luck is not friendly to everyone.
Why i know this? because at one time last year? i tried the same but losses everything that i Got from my Loan for emergency .

Definitely true, this pandemic made some people in debt that's why we can't blame them to get themselves in gambling activities to make some money to pay their debts, some are became gamblers due to work from home and wanted to make some past time while making money but later on same result because the chances of losing is always higher than winning in casino even if we like it or not.
These statistics is very accurate but not just in UK because pandemic has spread throughout the globe, so other countries as well have citizens that are now gamblers, and some aren't new but gambled even more now.

These statistics are correct in all countries where gambling is legal, we are human beings and we are not used to getting locked to our homes without access to places that we always visit and do things that we enjoy doing, online gambling offers an escape and a cure for our boredom, I have a lot of friends here who seldom play online but spent 8 hours daily during the pandemic, the problem is because of the long lockdown they developed into a habit that's hard for them to break.

And that is where the real problem really is, if people could go back to the way things were as soon as the lockdowns ended then there will not be any problem, but people are creatures of habit, and if they developed bad habits during the lockdowns then it is going to be incredibly difficult to get rid of them, and not only that getting help is still kind of difficult as psychologists are treating people online and I do not know if this is the best way to treat someone that is developing a problem with their gambling.

Gambling is the most accessible means during a pandemic ,When people find it difficult to make money with territory restrictions and work spaces that are closed or even fired, it is appropriate that people will turn to gambling because maybe gamblers think about playing a little for profitable with a lot opportunities but very close to bankruptcy we're realize that ! Gambling increases IMO because it increases immunity also it make gambling you're fun

Gambling is not always with a large investment, my friend, for only $ 10 you can gamble to your heart's content. It depends on the gambler.

Not even only about gambling is not always about large investment, gambling supposed not to be with large investment at all, it should be an amount someone will play with, lose and never think about but yet fun for him, gambling should just be fun, so the amount of money used should be fun too, not large amount which can result to another thing else but getting addiction.

Therefore, it would be ridiculous that people only rely on themselves from work who can gamble just because the money is made from what they do. But fortune is never indiscriminate, Fortune comes to them as the fortune giver wants. working only alternative, not a few who work but do not produce anything.
Gambling doesn't know one's career, right?

that's very common to regular gamblers, wherever they can get money from, they will find a way how to allot funds for their habit. i read an article before from a third world country that after the govt gave cash aid during the beginning of pandemic, some of their constituents found to spend their money in gambling, and that's when their official went roaming around their area with microphone saying dont gamble your cash aids, spend it to your basic needs, ect. Tongue

so maybe, some people really allotted some of their financial aid to gambling (those who are already gamblers) but others don't, because we are still in crisis and we need to save as much as we can.
addicted gamblers will always find a way how to get money and where to play, even if it is hard to find gambling houses (offline) during pandemic.

That gambling addiction kills their finances definitely. This is also a reason why some gamblers are in touch with huge debts and some had sold all their asset and much worse to commit illegal just to provide for their addiction. With this pandemic situation, it can be good for the casino owners because of the growing number of gamblers but has also a bad impact on the community since many individuals got hock-up with such addiction and bring disaster to their life.

What kind of mindset they do have?

This is very common behavior which is actually true on where most people doesnt really mind on spending those money specially if its an aide and just like
on what you said they would really be keen on spending their hard earned money.
Common behavior on where people will be normally be doing specially on this pandemic situation.They are hoping and thinking that they could really make out
some profits if they would intend to play and hope for some winnings.
