It's easy, if I have a family and a kid to raise and fund his/her education and I am not making a lot of money when that time comes then I would definitely stop gambling altogether, helps with the household finances and many other things could've been used for that money anyways. Another condition I can think of is when I have contracted a disease that will require me to have a medical maintenance to check on the symptoms or slowly treat the said disease, like heart disease or kidney disease, this diseases that I've mentioned are definitely going to make anyone stop gambling. There's probably other conditions out there but these two are the conditions that would definitely make me stop gambling.

But let's imagine, what kind of conditions might make you stop gambling?
- I think there are many factors that can make us stop gambling. For me, that factor is family because family is the most important thing to me. Money can be earned again, but once you lose trust or lose your family, it's almost impossible to regain it.
- I've had a time when I was deeply immersed in sports betting, and I nearly lost my current wife if I had continued with my gambling habits. That period of time helped me realize what's truly important to me.
- Currently, I view gambling as a form of entertainment, and my wife understands that. She allows me to allocate a very small amount of money for it. I consider myself lucky not to have incurred substantial debts when I was addicted to gambling. Otherwise, the consequences could still be affecting me today.

I know that many people try to stop gambling or reduce the intensity of their gambling because of several factors such as running out of money, being scolded by their wife, being scolded by their parents, or piling up debts. Irresponsible gambling will make us have bad conditions. I don't hope we will experience something like that because after all gambling is fun and full of challenges

But let's imagine, what kind of conditions might make you stop gambling?
if it's leading me to become uncontrollably addicted to it, that can make me stop it. But what you also need to understand is that if you've been into gambling for a long time, you can't just decide to stop gambling and just stop it like that, it has to be a gradual process where you reduce how frequent you gamble, isolate from sources that will bring you back to the habit and might sometimes require that you talk to a friend about the habit.

But if you are the type that does responsible gambling, it won't be necessary to stop it cause the more you do it, the more experienced you become and some  moment win either win or lose out on a game and this will guide you for future prediction purposes.

You are stating the most obvious reasons, but there are a lot more... namely :

1. If you feel that you are cheated by the site. RTP (Return to Player) can be configured to take too much from the gamblers.
2. You might have withdrawal issues with the casino.
3. The chat facility might be too moderated and toxic.
4. The casino might have started without KYC verification and they suddenly ask for it.
5. You might become bored with gambling. (Some people need to be stimulated and gambling can become laborious and repetitive.)

So these are just some of the things that can cause you to stop gambling.... there are lots more reason.  Wink

Maybe financial condition will force me stop gambling. Because finance is the main weapon of gambling. If your financial condition is good then you can take risk but if you have limited and if you lost it then that is too much hard to second time recover it and again start it. That's why I think maybe financial condition force me to stop gambling.

I make always condition to stop gambling in the day they are like rules that I you must do
But to stop gambling forever I think this condition must be major and only one condition who I imagine is when I borrow money to continue gambling
Because for me someone who is in this level he's losing him self and he must stop gambling even there's chance to win but you losing your self

Forever may not be very possible. Once a gambler always a gambler and will find ways with the very little money they got. As long as there are free spins, they will go for it.

Having no job and no money will stop us from gambling. There are buts and ifs for this though.
We have read those guys badly want to gamble still and instead sell their stuff so they can continue betting again so there is this that breaks that condition. Some addicts go to its heights and rob stores or someone on the street to have something to bet.

First, If i'm already struggling financially. Because there's no way to continue playing if I know that I have no money to use for gambling. So it just right to prioritize looking for source of income especially I have a family depending on me. Second is work, currently that's what matters to me and also the reason why I refrain playing for a while because I want to achieve the position that I have been working on for months now.

Last is if gambling became a major issue that I have to choose what's more important between gambling and family. I'd rather stop than losing the latter. Well, they are aware that I gamble though. Anyway, if you're not addicted in gambling then quitting won't be that hard because you're still in control and can handle yourself.

Of course financial problems and also family problems are factors that cause someone to stop gambling, but there are also some people who stop because they realize that gambling is not suitable place for those with adequate mental and financial limitations, even though maybe only one or two people experience this like this.

The majority of gamblers really have difficulty stopping gambling even though they have lost lot of money and also experience problems that arise in the family due to gambling addiction, I sure that if you are gambler too, you can feel how difficult it is to stop gambling even though you have experienced quite lot of problems burdens the mind and mentality.
Most gamblers who can stop only temporarily because at later time they return to gambling again with significant changes such as being more controlled and truly becoming responsible gamblers.

The problem of the difficulty of stopping gambling has been going on for a long time now, I don't know what is effective, but I have never seen a gambler who can really stop and forget about gambling without going back to it.

Accumulating debt may be a strong reason someone stops gambling. The effect of the debt is very large, especially since it has accumulated, the factor of being scolded by the wife and parents because the lender starts collecting debts to the home which makes the wife and parents uncomfortable with their arrival.
Accumulating debt becomes a link in a person's economic condition, as a result of not being free from financial health, it can result in a life full of uncertainty, such as lack of food supplies, insufficient monthly expenses and other household needs are also very limited. Gamble responsibly, no need to force it if money is very limited.

There were a few things that stopped me from gambling, and one of them was the transaction limits set by gambling sites. You'll never know when these sites will start to increase their limits and I had to stop for a while to look for a new site that is low enough for my budget. Another time was when the fees started spiking and some of the sites had no other choice but to increase their fees. It's usually the unexpected things that stop me from gambling now that it's becoming accessible even to smaller players, as some of them would set the lowest limits and accept any deposit amounts.

All of your above-mentioned conditions are enough to make one stop gambling. Starting with issues with my wife and family, which will make me uncomfortable at home, is enough reason for me to call it a stop.
 
If I also don't have enough money to foot my bills and am left alone with left-overs that can be spared for gambling, in order not to start thinking of stealing or borrowing to survive, I will have to stop gambling as well.

If I have a happy home and enough money to gamble with, I still happen to fine myself gambling more than I always expect to be spending, and I lose all the time due to my lack of creativity and skill for game selection, and I don't derive fun gambling as a result of that since I might be focused on the winning rather than the fun, which is not supposed to be so, then I will also consider stopping to gamble.
Choosing to be able to meet our family's needs will certainly be better than using our money for our own needs in gambling and in gambling we don't necessarily get the win we want, so it's better for us to meet our family's needs first before using the money we have to bet. That's right, it's very difficult to win at gambling, so it would be better if we didn't use the money we have to gamble so that we can't meet the needs of ourselves and our families.

Well you list all the reason on why gamblers decide to stop since that are major factors why people think about quiting. I'm not a total addicted gambler so I can quit anytime if I feel it. But the most common reason on why I did it is provably the funds availability since if I already see that I'm running out of funds then provably will decide to stop gor a while and thinking about to continue especially when losing a lot of money already with gambling. Other reason maybe if my parents would really be against on what I do since I always follow them because they know more better than me. If they see stop then no question will do it since I don't want to get mad at me since they are old and want to respect them also I don't like to give them stress knowing that they are old enough to receive such thing from me. For some people it maybe hard for them to stop even if all the factors are already showing up with them but if they are willing to adjust om everything for sure they can do it if they have thoughts to stop this activity.

I play out of boredom or if I really want to get something out of a game and I'm literally putting money where my mouth is, but if I found a new hobby that will shadow my interests in gambling, that will do it. My financial state is somewhat stable for the next year or so, and I'm not rushing to get more money and will certainly not do it through gambling. So if there's something that will stop me from betting, that will be something that occupies my full interest, and that is a new hobby.

Shortage of funds.  I might temporarily stop gambling if I don't have enough free funds for my gambling activities.  If I keep on lacking funds, I might be not playing gambling for a long time until I have the free money to fund my gambling activity.

Just like any recreational or any activity for entertainment, I only do the activities if I have the free funds to cover it.  So whether I will continue or stop my gambling activity is dependent on the free money in my stash.

Since your question is specific,  for me, it is lack of money, from being busy with my work, and if I want to stop, gambling is at the back seat of my life I only gamble whenever it is more convenient and I have the time and spare money, the worst condition to stop gambling is when you are broke from gambling or your health deteriorated because of health.

If you're a responsible gambler you should and can stop gambling whenever you want to stop gambling even if you have the time and the money, you should have it in your mindset that there's more to life than just gambling.

You love a woman and you like her to be your lifetime partner. It's a lifetime commitment and she doesn't like your gambling habit, you can talk to her to spare that because before you even met her, you're already one.

But are you willing to do that?

IMHO, I'd do that but I am past that situation so it's no longer a thing for me. Financial wise, it's bad to gamble when you have got nothing and that's the condition I guess for me that I'll stop indefinitely.
But what if gambling become a main reason of your failed relationship? are you still willing not to stop just because you are into gambling even before you met her? I don't think so. If you have a good intention and you want to have a healthy relationship with good financial stability with your partner in the future, It's better to stay away on the things that may possibly ruin it. So based on your reply, seems like you'd rather to choose your vices than your partners opinion for your own good.

Another thing that might make me stop is if I feel that I have been spending more time gambling than my work. I'd probably just stay away from it so that  I could become a better employee again. But, that ain't happening yet because I usually stop when my deposit balance is wrecked and also I am using the automatic betting feature of the gambling sites so that I can still do things at the house while it's running in the background.

I forgot to think about that problem, Besides the problem of losing or running out of money if we spend too much time and start neglecting work, it is also a bad situation. We can think about taking a break from gambling if conditions like this occur.

But the sure thing is that she knows I am a responsible gambler and I don't gamble every day and only take it as a lesser activity that may not have any known effect on my well-being at some point so I worry less and don't even have the thought of stopping.

It's good to hear that you can manage your gambling responsibly because if you don't, problems are bound to arise. As long as we can manage our finances, there's no point in stopping, but when we feel like we've spent a lot of money, maybe that's the right time for us to take a break.
