You are wearing a casino signature Smiley

It's so awkward to see one wearing a signature and at the same time not promoting it. As a gambler i had the opportunity to promote many casinos website even though not an addict of gambling. There has been threads about ways of handling gambling addiction in the forum and cautions has been given in most of the gambling threads.

I have never seen any place, real life or online, embrace gambling as much as this forum has. A little bit of gambling is okay but when you do it with the hope of making money it becomes a problem. The house ALWAYS wins. I see so many people here throw their money away at these online casinos.

I just banned myself from the casino IRL yesterday after losing $40 at Blackjack. I got 18, and the dealer got 20. See? It doesn't matter how good you are at the game, the odds are always stacked against you.

If this forum were embracing drug addiction, don't you think it wouldn't look as good?

First of all Gambling should ONLY be treated as a recreational way of unwinding stress or play for FUN

Using Gambling as a method of making money is a different story i know some people are making money in this way but majority are losing not only money but their family, friends, cars, houses due to gambling.

Its good that you self regulate yourself in entering casino's after losing some money! and this is a good sign that you still have control over your emotions in losing money in a casino.

Drugs are extremely prohibited in most of the part of the world and will never be accepted as part of the forum ethics. Accepting or Implementing drugs as part of the forum, will not yield anything good as this has a great effect to human life compared to gambling. Though, Gambling also can ruin human life like drugs but drug is more destructive than Gambling.

I'm only wearing a gambling signature because it was the only campaign I could get into with 4 Merits.

I would not put drugs and gambling on the same page.

Once you are a drug addict you are harming your body and mind. You are taking substance but a gambling addict is harming his mind. The physical affect is less here.

You can not take drug just for fun but you can gamble for fun.

Anyway, there will be many more difference. Point is gambling addict and drug addict is not the same in my eyes.

My point is that they are both addictions and they both lead to the addict never having any money. So many people here are broke because they waste their money. Same with drug addicts. There is research out there to suggest that pathological gamblers' brains are wired the same way a drug addict's mind is wired. They want to experience an increase in dopamine.

In both instances, it's better to quit/.

you just contradict yourself by promoting a gambling site.
if by all means you are against with this industry, then you wont even wear a sig or promote a site
and stand your ground on this matter. being a drug addict is different from a gambling addict
though both are addictions but i would say, you can easily reinstate a life of a gambler

They aren't addicts, if they were then you won't see them on forum more often. Most of them are just pretenders and many of them are only here to meet their post count. Take a good look at their replies most time you will get a hint that they don't have an idea about gambling. I do gamble occasionally so am not an addict.  The forum is filled with gamble lovers not addicts

theres some truth on that. most are just occasional gamblers.

That's complete BS. They're both addictive, but just because gambling doesn't have an immediate physical effect doesn't mean it's less harmful. Both addictions can severly ruin your life.

You said it is not okay to gamble with the thought of making money. Then why would you even think about gambling? Probably 95% of people that are gambling do it for money,hoping they can make some profit and cash out. And the rest of 5% do it for fun and if there will be profit involved that's a bonus for them.

Embrace by the forum you say, It exists here in the forum because of bitcoin, we can say that this gambling site embrace Cryptocurrency because of the convenience it has and the animosity of the transactions, Gamblers would surely want all of these things so they combine the effectiveness of it the forum only provides the conversation an announcement for new gambling sites, if you don't want to gamble that much then don't look in this section and you should remove your signature along with it, And people can simply choose what they want and if they get corrupted by the addiction that is in gambling that is their own doing for taking gambling seriously.

The real point is that OP has had asked rhetorical and manipulative question, about a thing that simply does not exist.
Sure, addiction is an addiction! No matter what is your poison, it has the potential for being mentally and physically harmful.
Case is as always, the dosage. As I see it, most of people here promote healthy and responsible gambling.
The amount of "risk that what you are ready to loose" sentences could easily fill a phonebook.

@idiotcoder , it is called gambling because it is what it is. Game of chance  Roll Eyes.
Drug is more harmful because it can instantly kill but gambling can only make you broke but can only kill when lack of money makes a gambler to commit suicide either by deciding to run under a moving truck.
