Different neighborhoods does have different perceptions about and how they judge gamblers. I've been to different neighborhoods with gambling stores and I can categorically say that their views about gambling differs. To some neighborhood, they see anyone that wants to gamble as someone who isn't responsible and shouldn't be associated with while to other neighborhoods especially the developed areas, they see gambling as a normal activity that any adult can engage themselves in. So as a gambler, whenever you find yourself in a new environment, try and know their own perception about gambling as that will help you to know how to engage in your activities.

You can see gambling everywhere in my country, whether it's indoors or outdoors. But there is an opinion among the people around you that once you start a habit of gambling, there are 2 possible outcomes that will come to your life. Ethier, you will be successful if you win big, like in the lottery, which is one of the most well-liked bets in our nation. If you win, you can potentially win millions of dollars, which you can use to launch a business. Or nevertheless, some would say that if you gamble and lose a lot of money, it's because you have an addiction to gambling and will be influenced by alcohol, and in the end, you will be the one who will suffer, and your family as well.

I don't know if this is only happening in my area or is a general trend, hence the reason I created this post. Let's know what people think about gamblers and how well the gambling business is faring in your area.
Gamblers do not have a good perception in my environment, either within the village or in a wider scope. Wanting to get a good perception from the environment regarding gambling activities for reasons that can be accepted by common sense, is just like hoping in a dream.If gamblers don't get a good response, especially when they become business people.
There is no acceptable good place for a gambling business.

For me I think that the dynamics of the way they see gamblers now is changing and that is because of the economic situation that I think job scarcity has caused. To start with there are so many apps enabling gambling online and offline, so that has actually led to the awareness of gambling. In the past some families don't accommodate because of the training and the way they look at those who gamble but things are changing as phases are passing through old ways of doing things to new ways and gamblers that were seen as people not responsible, we get to still see responsible people who are gambling currently.

Gamblers are seen as someone who have deep pockets. This is so because most of the influencers that stream their games often win, hence the connotation that there are a lot of gamblers that also win a lot on their games. There are still some negative connotations when it comes to gamblers, but currently our communities hold them as somewhat 'financially capable' because they have the money to blow on such things. It's pretty weird, but that's what it is here.

If you visit my place, you will not find a single gambling place that has an official license, except for illegal gambling and even that is very closed, only certain people can visit there. Where I live, both by law and culture and customs, my place strictly prohibits all forms and types of gambling. but, still for people who like it, even though gambling is prohibited, they will do it. including me. I personally gamble more often online and if I want to play at an offline casino that has an official license, then I have to go out of town which is quite far away.
Most of the people around me are still fanatical about gambling, they are strongly against gambling, but there are some of them when they come home, they secretly gamble online, and stupidly they tell me about it. And I do not condone all forms and types of gambling... whatever the reason, we cannot force other people to like the same things we do. namely gambling.

There are plenty of countries that the market for gambling was liberalized very recently.
Of course some will take up the opportunity to gamble and enjoy themselves but this doesn't change the mindset of people.
Indeed back in the village many people will see gambling as something utterly evil, so if you indulge to it publicly and frequently some people might not even let their children look at you. People that follow religion very closely think it's right to judge people instead of just letting god judge... Well no real reason to pay that much attention imo.

The perception of gambling in the eyes of society is considered as bad behavior, especially gambling is prohibited in the country, so of course parents will tell them to avoid these people.
Because there have been many changes, especially with online gambling which is increasingly widespread, people use it, it cannot be avoided this change even though many have advised it, but I myself, who gamble online, am not considered a gambler by the people in my neighborhood because they don't know what I am doing, this is also the same thing that people around here do because with online gambling they can be private which is not known to many people.

Gamblers were seen as irresponsible people in my town few years ago. Parents usually warn their children never to indulge in gambling or associate with people who gamble. However, a lot has changed recently as gambling has become one of the biggest business here. As a result of that, societal perception has also improved as many testimonies of life-changing wins from gambling has emerged.

It’s still based on the culture of the country to change perceptions about gambling like in my country which gambling will always associated as bad image for common people that doesn’t involve in any gambling activities.
Probably your area is already saturated by people that is already open minded to gambling that makes them converted to gambling believer due to the word on the mouth in the street. This is not applicable to all country but I will not be surprised if more country will be open to gambling (except Asian) because of the rise of online casino popularity.

There is not street you will enter in my town that you will not likely see a betting agent. They are just everywhere. In my street which is very small, there are two betting agents there and there are more that want to come but not permitted because of the two that have been there and still there now. If you are gambling, it is nobody's business in my area and that is how my country is.

In my neighborhood Gambling is almost like an "I gamble" or "I don't gamble"thing. Although no one would force you into gambling but I feel there's this unseen force of pressure that will pull a non-Gambler with Gambler friends to start gambling. It will be boring having a conversation with a friend or group of friends who are gamblers and you cannot contribute anything to the conversation. This is a reason why youths gamble. At the moment I feel it is a trend that will pass with time but before it does, the scar of addiction would be forever there.

That is most people perception about gamblers in general and parents in particular.I can understand them as most of the cases they have only learned for gambling through media and usually the media pumps more the bad things rather than those life changing wins.Most parents are so intimidated by different bad stories thrown by the media so it is only normal that they are worried.Life changing events are rare while bad stories are common and that makes gambling look more hazardous rather than beneficial.
