Topic: What according to you should be the age to retire from gambling ? - page 3. (Read 1611 times)

And actually with me playing only on weekends it can also make addiction if I don't have good self-control, but I still have limits on gambling even if I only play on weekends. therefore I still have the discipline that I set in every weekend gambling.

Of course I will take measures that can prevent my father from becoming addicted to gambling and gambling out of bounds. also indeed people who are addicted to gambling can have an impact on the whole family and this is also what is not wanted, because why do only one person do it but all are affected. if it's like this of course it's not fair. and I also object to this, if it is one person who does it, he alone should be affected. I also always deal with gambling problems by myself because I know that gambling that is done by myself is not done together. so anyway it must be my own responsibility.

We cannot determine when people should retire from gambling because it is each person's choice. Some say that when you are in your 40s you should stop gambling because you choose to take responsibility for your family, etc. But for me personally, I think the right time to stop gambling is when you think you've had enough and no longer intend to gamble, whether because of family, work, financial problems, etc. So it can be any age, if you feel that at the age of 30 you are still able to gamble, then just continue, if not just stop, that's very simple.

but in fact there are still many gamblers aged 40+ but they choose to gamble on easier types of games and usually what I know of gamblers aged 40+ choose to buy lottery tickets to try their luck every day and there are also those who gamble playing poker with other friends who aged 40+ to get pleasure.

I really understand that people who are old enough should maintain a healthy pattern without pursuing something that makes their mind unhealthy, but it cannot be denied that an old person needs entertainment and only gambling can give him pleasure or entertainment and as long as it is done positively, no there will be any problems and bad impacts.

Usually gambling platform identic with young age and not recommended for old people, but there are not rule or restrict about older not allowed for participating in gambling depend they have money and have well memorize not matter until how long active on gambling platform. I think ideal age retire from gambling above 40 years old but recommended if you have marriage and get children not allowed keep active in gambling, have priority money for family and gambling is an entertainment only when have free time.
I think have physiology for family if still in gambling how to manage well financial. Before raising 40 years old better retired and reduce your activities with gambling platform although have stable financial but not related when our family see us gambling habit activities.

Gambling is not only for young people, seniors can also enjoy it as long as they have more money to gamble, if when they were young they gambled then even when they are old they will definitely not be unfamiliar with gambling and will even continue to enjoy it when they are lonely or need entertainment.
Gambling is actually a means of entertainment for young people, and everyone's parents have the right to enjoy it until they get bored and decide to stop.
I think there is no age limit or when it is better to retire from gambling because gambling can stop at any time even when you are young you can stop if you no longer want to be involved with gambling.
But this is highly recommended for older people who are no longer able to gamble, where they have to focus on their health which is increasingly declining and not think about gambling. If in their youth they were addicted to gambling then worried that in their old age it will be difficult for them to stop lest this could become a problem bad impact on the family and can affect next generation.

Age shouldn't be a barrier to anything especially if age is not telling on you, but for those who are wise, there are certain things they should let go for the younger world. If they want to play games, there are free games out there and they can engage their friends in games, even their wife or their children as the case may be. There are even free/paid games they can play on their phones and other gadgets without betting anything, this is enough for them to make a happy living at that age. There is a lot that old age triggers as a result of the psychology of the person, I don't think it's wise for anyone to continue betting at this age even if there is no loss or age limit stopping them from doing so. Although this is personal, it is subject to anybody's preference. However, I noticed that I do not see many old people where I have been gambling for years, I mean the offline casinos and sportsbooks, maybe this is one of the reasons.

The little ones I see are only betting with a very low amount of money or just coming to while away time. And I believe this is the right sense anyone should engage in gambling as it's not a must that you continue to gamble after some have even gambled for over 40 years. What else do they want? They need to preserve their mental health at this stage, and if it's money they want, they should get it elsewhere, after all, we know how it is difficult to make money from gambling.

This advice subsists unless the person has been a positive gambler for years.

The situation you describe is, in fact, a very familiar one. Addiction, especially gambling addiction, doesnt care what age you are; it can bite deep no matter what. You're being sensible by only gambling on the weekends, but be careful. Self-discipline is important, and you need to keep evaluating yourself.

Now, lets talk about your dad. This is where taking action is very important. The first step is to talk to each other. Sometimes, having an open and hoenst conversation can bring to light the secret struggles of addiction. Not only do we want to avoid family fights, but we also care about his health and mental well-being. As you said, there is a real chance of bloodshed happening in these situations. Getting help early on, like through therapy or support groups, could make a huge difference. Remember that if you dont stop him, his deeds will afect the whole family, not just him. Not only is acting now smart, its necessary.

That is absolutely true because the person will feel that he still has a chance to win his big winnings from gambling. There is a possibility that he will not be able to stop gambling even though he is old. But it also indicates that he already has a gambling addiction because he does not know that gambling is a form of entertainment. If he can consider gambling as entertainment, he can definitely stop gambling when he is old because he must think that he has been gambling for a long time and it is time for him to retire and stop gambling. After all, he had probably already won such a sum of money in his youth that it would have been enough for him to abandon gambling. But he can still go back to gambling occasionally with his friends to reminisce about his past.

This question is really very funny because the age in which some persons wants to stop gambling can still as well be the same age in which some persons wants to start.This isn't a government work which people will retire from,as long as games  and different sports exist,and people continues to catch fun with it,people will definitely go ahead to gamble because gamble is not only for money, people do it for fun and for the love they have for that particular sport.Well,to answer the question,I can say untill one is satisfied with the money he has got,he won't stop gambling,and as we all know that human needs are insatiable, therefore,age does not matter when it comes to gambling, everybody has the right to gamble,and your end to it will depend on your mindset,and the amount you've achieved from it.

and on the one hand, someone who is over 60 years of age has vision and hearing that are so reduced that even thinking a little harder will make their body hurt or something will happen. so I probably can not imagine a gambler older than the age you mentioned still gambling.
but perhaps there are also gamblers who still gamble but their sight and hearing are still very good so they can still enjoy gambling for fun.

actually, age will not influence whether someone should stop or continue their gambling habit, the most important thing is that they are still able to gamble and have enough money. I think there is no problem.

That's right, they will not easily stop with their gambling especially if they have a gambling complaint where gambling cannot be separated from a person. There are also many gamblers who dare to take loans to fulfill their gambling desires as you said, this is a clear fact. A person who is addicted to gambling, of course, their mindset is no longer healthy and maybe they need help from a psychological expert in order to get rid of their thoughts about gambling alone.

Suppose there is a family member who is like you said, of course I would not let that happen, because old age should be enjoyed properly, if you spend young age gambling it seems like it will take up a lot of time, and time to gather with family can also be a little or not at all, what I'm afraid of is that my father is elderly but still likes to gamble, I'm afraid there will be a fight in the family, because what I know is that someone who is addicted to gambling can commit violence because he asks for money to gamble again, and I don't want this to happen to my family. I can't imagine what it would be like if this happened to my family. I myself like to gamble, it's just that I feel better now. because now I'm not too crazy with gambling, only gambling on weekends and even then if I want to.

Eliminate what does it mean?
When someone likes gambling, they won't be able to stop easily, don't you know that many gamblers are willing to borrow money to be able to continue their gambling sessions.
Money is not the only effective way to stop someone from gambling because the most important thing is awareness and also psychology for someone to get normal and decent life.

But I think age still has an influence and it is important for everyone to be able to determine when it is time to stop.
As an example, if you had an elderly father who liked to gamble and they were no longer able to work, would you let that happen?
I don't think you will let that happen, and when you reach old age you will definitely think and decide to stop because there is family that needs your time to be together and not just to gamble.

To be honest, I personally have an age limit that has been planned from the start, that when I reach old age and am not productive in making money, I would prefer to rest and spend time with my children and grandchildren.

Your advice is general and I do not expect anyone who is gambling in so managing manner not to stop, they can of course stop at any age in this regard and can find better things to do with their lives. Gambling is not compulsory and if it's money you are looking for, you may want to wisely get it elsewhere, and if you are gambling for fun, you might want to switch games. But in reality, I do not know the person who would be gambling for fun but not for the money that would be addicted to it, that can happen only when the person is not sensible on his own. Is it not the fun of playing it that he/she wants? Then using a little money for betting will naturally grant them access to the gambling platform and they can play as much and as long as they want.

Besides, about the context here, as we get older, unless our gambling activities are positive to our lives, we should know that it's better we quit it, or again when it's at worse neutral. I can't imagine myself gambling beyond the age of 60, I do not know why I would do that. At that age upwards, I believe that we should already filter what we get into our heads, mental health is often taken for grounded but it is good if we could take it seriously and only allow the things that can add to us, not those that can subtract or affect us negatively.

The buttom line is at the end if a gambler seize to be making money both from gambling and otherwise, they will be forced to stop it. Whether it is done for leisure/fun or for financial gains, it involves money to embark on it and if it is not being sustained when you consistently lose, you go out of it. People who depend on gambling for profit will need to keep profiting and those who are playing for fun also will need third parties that will help them sustain it, so whichever way we look at it, we need money to continue staking for fun or for profit no matter the age bracket.

If a person has been gambling for most of his life and really enjoyed it, then it will not be so easy for him to give up on them. Gambling gives us not only vivid emotions, but also gives us hope that one day we will hit a big jackpot and our lives will be able to change for the better. In my opinion, it is difficult to find any other entertainment that can replace all this. Well, maybe only investing in super risky assets.

You'll think of retiring when you are not having fun in gambling. After all, this is entertainment, right? Why would anyone deprive themselves of happiness with gambling? Though it is risky, one could lose as much money as possible if they don't manage the risk well. But with the thrill that we can feel here, it definitely brings some kind of satisfaction we cannot find in other services, or things we could buy, or any other form of entertainment.

Once you are a gambler, you find satisfaction when you're gambling.

There is no age limit, the right time to stop gambling is when you can no longer gamble for various reasons. Humans are not always healthy, you can still gamble when you are healthy, but when you are sick or other things make it impossible for you to gamble anymore, then that is the right time to retire from gambling.
In general, gambling has no age limit, teenagers, adults and the elderly can still gamble and can retire at any time. Financial factors or place of residence can also make someone retire sooner from gambling.

Yes, you can stop whenever you want as long as you're not that attached in gambling because You may find it difficult to stop, especially if you are too invested in playing it. but then again, you can find a ways how to stop it as long as you are willing to stop it at early as possible, you can gambling but you have to be more responsible in your money and time so you will not ended up being wasted.

Yes, that's right, there is no need to target the age for retirement, whenever they want to retire it will definitely have a good impact on them, moreover the sooner the better in youth or in old age as long as using the money for something more valuable will be better, so that the money is not wasted wasted on gambling and had to regret it at the end and in his old age. People definitely have the desire to retire as long as they feel that gambling is boring enough.

Moreover, it doesn't provide any more pleasure, so in my opinion retirement is the right way, because if you don't really enjoy the game and don't feel the pleasure in it, it will definitely be boring to play gambling, one of which is retiring to look for other, more enjoyable fun, whatever it is. because not everything that is fun comes from gambling.

Well said. Sometimes the forum just has lots of weird topics and ideas. Gambling is just another form of entertainment and I don't see why regular but responsible gamblers need to stop even at an old age unless they find another hobby or something more interesting to them.

What I noticed on land-based casinos though is there aren't many senior citizens playing. But maybe because I came from a developing country where the majority of the population isn't rich. However, every time I pass by a bingo casino in the nearby mall, it's flooded with old people, especially women.
