Looking for other activities or hobbies so that it is easier to reduce gambling activities because only then can we avoid temptation, let alone the desire to gamble, we don't have to stop gambling, at least reducing it is enough to help, apart from that, determining the time we gamble by limiting it so we don't become addicted to gambling. Moreover, gambling addiction is very difficult to cure, so it's best to limit everything.

Self-control is important to be able to control everything so that you don't overdo it, because excessive behavior will not be good in the end, especially since gambling without limits is the same as leading yourself to greedy behavior, the point is to limit your time and money for gambling and make sure you really understand the risks involved. Because gambling is important, if you understand the risks, you can definitely control yourself better so you don't get addicted.

Yes, it is true that gambling today is very different from gambling in the past because of the advancement of the times, maybe gambling in the past was often done openly without using cellphones and almost everyone who did not gamble knew and was easily identified by the police, And gambling now most people who gamble use cellphones online so it is more difficult to be known by others, but in gambling now most people experience financial losses because gambling is now played by bookies on gambling sites so the impact is very bad to the point that it can damage the household if the gambler already has a wife. . So for those of us who don't gamble, don't try to do something like that because online gambling is addictive. If we are addicted, we will lose a lot because we are played by the bookie, and for people who are currently gambling or addicted, reduce their gambling so that you do not experience losses because there is no history of getting rich by gambling because gambling is just a trick of the bookie. It is not easy for gambling addicts to stop completely, but if you have the intention, you can definitely reduce or stop completely.

You will hardly see what has pros without cons, and that goes for technology as well, it's we who will embrace the good parts but avoid and also guide against the bad parts for our good. Talking about gambling in children and the possible risk, well, this is where I see good parenting coming in, parents are so negligent on this which is one of the reasons why many children are being affected by this technology. Good upbringing matters and I don't see a reason why parents should let their children know anything about gambling, and even if they already know somehow, they should educate them rightly on the dangers therein and even show them examples, and further ask them if that's how they want to end their lives.

Unfortunately, many parents are not so sensitive, they don't build good relationships with their children let alone know what is going on in the lives of their children, and would have been late when detected. While some will harshly deal with the situation which makes children become more hardened. To further with, no parent should give their young children gadgets without properly blocking all gambling and adult content. Not these days when children have their specially designed gadgets to guide them against such.

Besides, the environments that some children grow up in are bad, they are exposed to a lot of bad things/deeds at their tender ages which might affect them till they grow. This is another angle you know a good parent that is mindful of such environments and guides their children right. As for casinos, we can blame it mostly on the no-KYC ones. The way we have gambling sites without KYC is another concern that aggravates this, it would have been difficult for children to fulfil KYC when they were still underage.

It is difficult for them to admit that they are addicted to gambling because they do not feel addicted to gambling and can still control themselves well, even though if they see and realize it, there are inevitable signs that show that they are addicted to gambling. He could have cured his gambling addiction without help from others but it would have required hard work on his part. But if he succeeds in curing his gambling addiction, it will be a proud achievement because he managed to go through the healing process alone without anyone helping him. But that rarely happens because someone who is addicted to gambling does not know that he is addicted to gambling.

The thinking of those who are addicted to gambling has begun to differ from that of gamblers who want to recover their losses. Gambling addicts will continue gambling until they are satisfied. We will never know what satisfaction means for gambling addicts because their goals for gambling are different. It could be that every gambling addict's mindset is also different, especially since we don't understand it clearly. Maybe only they know.

And that's why we always recommend being careful when gambling because the temptation of gambling is very difficult to avoid. And if we don't have good self-control skills, we will just continue gambling without being able to stop it. Maybe we have to keep learning so we can resist the temptation of gambling.

Then, with the look of things it's safe to say that the growing generation will produce more gambling addicts than we've seen or have now. The use of internet and ushering of phone to growing kids is one of the problems leading to young people abusing the normal age tag for gamblers. Faking identity and providing details of their elderly ones just to bypass the KYC stage. Teaching them can be effective, but telling them gambling is bad can boost the number of children who would want to gamble. Hence, telling them the advantage of gambling like in developing critical thinking, then laying a foundation of advise that encourages them about waiting till they get to a certain age before venturing into gambling will also help them to change. Blocking access is a waste of time. Because the stadiums and TV stations still allow gambling adverts. Then how would kids avoid seeing such ads. Instead of claiming to lay things low or stopping them through parental control. Having a discussion session with them, is more effective. In changing young people, we must value their opinions too. Adults overlook kids because they're faced with too many troubles or bills to cater for. Parents barely have time to hold these discussions. Their teachings would have been better off, than the teachers in school. As our parents are the best teachers we can have in the society. They can teach with appropriate examples. Which the kid can relate to, and understand easily. While learning such in school could be effective, peer pressure can disdain the value of it and other kids can easily low ball good students not to listen or follow such intuitions.

Technology makes it easy for kids to bet, which is scary. These days, boundaries are just illusions; websites that limit users by age are easy to get around. This trend highlights how technology and social norms are evolving, not simply access. Education matters everything. One cannot build walls tall enough to block all negatives. Children should learn about gambling risks and realities (and other things too). The goal is to empower children with knowledge and critical thinking, not to protect them. It's crucial to discuss internet safety, gambling psychology, and addiction. This kind of training in school and from parents helps kids make informed choices. It's not enough to block access; you must also inform people

All thanks to the development of technology, fast, cheap and widespread Internet, gadgets, and also, all online casinos have the most simplified access to their entertainment money-taking services. It is in the interests of the casino that the audience reach is as wide as possible and they will not disdain even minors for the sake of enrichment. All these age restrictions for access to gambling are just a trivial shell, easily overcome even by children.

Any limitation will only fuel curiosity like forbidden fruit. Therefore, first of all, parents must set an example by their actions. What is the use of blocking online casinos if parents themselves are avid gamblers? It will be pointless. If you don’t want your children to become insanely addicted to gambling, don’t play yourself, and also have an explanatory conversation. But the best thing to do is to refocus on useful, interesting activities that will distract him from the temptation of gambling.

Times are changing - technology is progressing, which in turn has simplified access to gambling.

The “parental control” function on smartphones and Wi-Fi routers will help you.

So far, not single gambling addict wants to admit that they are addicted because they will never be able to accept that addiction has actually become behavior they suffer from.
Moreover, an addict will be embarrassed to admit what really happened unless they have successfully recovered from addiction, so there is possibility that they will say they were an addict before and aim to provide experience and advice to other people so they don't experience the same thing.

But gambling addict will never think again about recovering losses because what is in his mind is winning which can provide sense of satisfaction, in the sense that gambling addicts continue to gamble because satisfaction is not about money.
They are willing to lose more money to get big win because big win is what can give satisfaction to the heart and mind, some also find the adrenaline rush from gambling to be very satisfying.
Talking about gambling addicts will never end and we will always find gambling addicts who have very different thinking patterns from normal people.

Indeed, that is true.
Easy access today and even kids could fake their birthdates so that they have access to gambling sites it will depend on the parents on how they will restrict this kind of thing to their children's smartphones or computers. This era is way too different than what I had experienced. Before we could gamble back when I was a kid, we needed to be in an area where no one would really see us but our bones were always trembling that someone might catch us.
Today, even a non-legal person to gamble can get addicted, especially kids. They are the types who are hot-blooded and would not want to end the game where they have losses, unlike veterans who could always just let it go and try it another they. Plus, because of the easy access of gambling sites, they can always do it everywhere, at school where their parents will not catch them, in the bathroom while their parents think he is just having a tummy ache, or worse in their own room while his parents think he is already sleeping.
Kids today are more prone to gambling addiction if they are corrupted by it and we will just know it when it's already late.

The easy access and with a lots of available games that you can play both online and offline, things is very different in the sense that you can just put your money and play right away, especially now that here's available online gamings where you can also play discreetly, playing without any noticed and from that point you can also lose all your finances without any control, once you link your banks or cards you can ruin your finances, it's not by far as it's something that gambling madness can take you.

Yes, gamblers will not realize that they are addicted to gambling. Someone else can see it and show it to the gambler. But the gambler didn't want to admit it and said that he was still fine.

Thinking about recovering the loss and stopping once we are able to get it will only increase the amount of loss even more. We must be aware that recovering losses is very difficult and we should not do it. If we have been gambling for a while but suffer a loss, perhaps we should stop immediately rather than try to recover the loss. Many people have suffered because they want to recover their losses but instead, they end up with more and more losses. And it's true what you say that we have to control ourselves and control our greed so that we don't experience too many losses.

They must know that chasing victory will not always be successful but they can experience many losses. Many people have fallen into the gambling trap, which makes many people deeper into gambling without being able to realize that they have made a fatal mistake by gambling non-stop. If they can realize this, they will start to reduce their gambling activities and will not take bigger risks because they do not want to see that many losses. This is where self-control is important for a gambler so that he can prevent himself from chasing wins and think more about how he can stop gambling on time and prevent experiencing losses again.

Those who can allocate a certain amount of money for gambling and try to limit their gambling activities will not experience excessive gambling addiction. With this allocation, they can continue gambling and get pleasure from it, while they can also prevent gambling addiction, which many other gamblers have experienced.

The gambling that is played today is very different from gambling in the past, now everyone can easily gamble without the knowledge of those closest to them because they can play gambling with the cellphone they have so that other people cannot easily see directly.
I agree with you that when someone is addicted to gambling, of course they will be very detrimental to themselves and the environment around them.

Most addicts wouldn't want to share the harsh news with his loved ones, because it'll affect them emotionally. So, they'll prefer to fight the addiction alone. Opening them to a deeper mental disorder. That they'll begin to behave strange right in front of their family. Human nature never finds refuge in other people easily. It must have to take them longer to think about and also they'll need the assurance that everything regarding their secret would be safe. In other ways, people think that, since they brought such problem upon themselves, what need is there in disturbing others about their self inflicted habit. In addition, addiction requires collaborative response to heal immediately. It's mainly like a team work. Despite beginning from the one person, others also need to come into our lives to save us or set us free. As the head of the family, in terms of your friend, it's embarrassing to appear as the problem in the family. What lesson would the kids learn from their dad. You'd see within that they're a million and one reason why these men refuse to open up. Yet, they refuse to understand what they're doing to themself is abusive and could lead to a more intense problem. Just like the issue of the man in the thread. Who had to put his own daughter into such pain, to be able to satisfy his gambling urge The disease becomes terrible when not attended to or hidden from our loved ones. I think it should be a duty to us, to always observe the facial expressions of people around us, and ask them question when they don't seem happy. Because deep down it'll be hard for humans to cheat on their facial expression. It'll always show that something is wrong. One way or the other, through questions or kindness, they can be forced to say something, about the pain they're going through everyday, due to gambling.

Yes, it is a fact that there is a friend of mine, he really looks like a gambling addict because he spends all his time just gambling, in fact I saw him never play with his children or family, even though he has a family that he should pay attention too, is it possible that he is hiding the fact that he has addicted to gambling, he should not leave his family who should be his advisor.

Gambling addiction is a disease that is difficult to cure, so sometimes gambling addicts prefer to leave the people around them, which actually is not what gamblers have to do because when we are addicted, who else will pay attention to us if not our family who will help to cure us of our gambling addiction. It is important to realize before it is too late that the deeper your gambling addiction, the more difficult it will be to cure. Being honest with the people closest to you is very important.

The number of people who lose money is most likely caused because they are too chasing the win with the principle that they will definitely get it, because of that they themselves are wrong with what they are doing. they are not careful in gambling so they fall into the trap or in the addiction phase which will make them lose a lot of money and losses for themselves and everyone knows that it will get worse if they continue like this without any awareness that makes them think of the losses they experience.
By allocating money or ensuring the amount of money to gamble maybe it will reduce the risk of losses that can be lost in a short time with a large amount. as you said if they still can't reduce their gambling activities it's the same lie, as it will be the same they quickly spend money on gambling and the losses will be even greater because they can't help themselves not to gamble. By often playing even every day even though the budget is small will not cover the losses they will feel, they will still experience losses but periodically because the budget used for gambling is small, but even though it is also small if they often gamble every time it makes no difference, they will still feel a loss.

Regulating the gambling industry is indeed very difficult its trend for online gambling has spread a lot. Although many organizations conduct monitoring they cannot be easily controlled and information on these is difficult to find online currently it is becoming easier through mobile, if you play gambling, no one will understand if you don't tell anyone. If law enforcement forces control they can take various steps to shut down the outside world which is not the case online. People who are addicted to gambling are usually harmful to their family and society and after selling their wealth they become destitute and do not know of such a big bad crime.

Gambling is only beneficial when we treat gambling as a form of entertainment, similar to visiting an amusement park at a mall. But once a gambler gets into the attitude of wanting money through gambling, or even if they don't desire it at first, and their main aim is to have fun, winning will change their feelings.

And when that happens, it is almost certain that the gambler will continue and return to the casino because he craves the sensation of winning at gambling.

Yes, by seeing other gamblers' wins, someone will be easily attracted and influenced because the goal is to expect what the gambler will experience, and this influence is so strong that it makes people excited to dive into the world of gambling just by seeing the win, even though it is there. also what is called defeat.
For beginners who are interested in following in the gambling footsteps of experienced gamblers, of course they must pay attention to how not to become addicts and avoid the risks posed by gambling, namely by remaining alert and being able to limit the money they will spend on gambling, so that beginners will get used to playing using small bets. only and he can limit the time and when to gamble, so that he is not addicted to gambling.

This  is absurd, I have heard of people doing loads of stuff to keep afloat with their gambling habits but I never heard of anyone with the extreme of gambling with such criminal approach even within his own family.

This goes to say that we should have this industry regulated and possibly enact policies that will place addicts in a close watch by authorities. One cannot tell what an addict is capable of if he gets the urge to gamble and has no resources to sponsor it.

All of this returns to the initial purpose in gambling, do you want to find victory in gambling or not? If you are looking for a victory like a match and you want to win every time you play, of course it is the wrong logic if you come then, because the percentage of victory in gambling is very small and you can't possibly beat home.

If you have the logic of coming, then you just want to play and look for pleasure, of course victory is not an important thing that is your goal in gambling. Sometimes this view has a presame that has two eyes, but if you remain in the main gambling principle, you should not be fooled.
