I agree. Maybe in a period of opportunity or economic prosperity, the life of a gambler could be maintained. Now, and in the future, it might be an entirely different story. In fact, those who are somehow gambling beyond their means, with income, or even somehow using gambling as a form of income...they are all in for a shock.

If you are exceeding 10% of your available crypto/cash each time you gamble, I can tell you that you are gambling not just with your money, but your future. Now is the time that everyone around the world should be being protective over their wealth.

The words fun and entertainment have been erased from our dictionaries as gamblers depending on where you are in the social hierarchy. For the upper class, gambling is fun. When they gamble, they have a glass of wine on the table and a cigar in their mouth for those who smoke. They gamble with their other rich friends of the same heirarchy. They do it for fun, it is bonding time. I don't think they play at online casinos.

The shrinking middle class and the lower class are the ones who gamble as a source of income, to solve a problem, to double their money. For these people gambling can't be fun, nor entertainment. Gambling for them is a side hustle,  a do-or-die affair. They go broke gambling, they don't bond with friends rather they lose friendships and relationships because of their gambling habits.

It's crucial to emphasize that responsible gambling practices should be promoted and followed regardless of one's social class. Problem gambling can affect individuals from all walks of life, and it's essential to approach gambling with caution, seek help when needed, and be aware of the potential consequences. Education and support for responsible gambling can benefit everyone, aiming to mitigate the negative impacts associated with gambling.

However, i don't think it's not only about social status that is the source of fun experience. For me it is the experience of winning. Who else enjoyed losing eh? So once you start losing over and over, you're getting angry, then you lose interest. That's for me when I slowly lose some fun.

The fun ends when your balance ends and if you used some money that you could not afford to lose that is even worse for you,you don't feel entertained at all while gambling or maybe just a little bit when you hit some occasional win during the bonus round as you feel at that time that maybe this time I will hit it big.

That is the problem with the world,prices are on the increase,inflation is sky high so people look at gambling as a possibility to make extra money nowadays more than a possibility to entertain themselves.

I completely understand where you're coming from and appreciate the thoughtfulness behind your post. Online gambling, like any form of entertainment, should primarily be about enjoyment. When the line between entertainment and financial desperation blurs, it can lead to unhealthy behaviors and addiction.

It's true that the world is challenging and many are seeking alternative ways to make ends meet, but gambling shouldn't be seen as a reliable income source. The moment the primary motivation shifts from entertainment to solely making money, the essence of responsible gambling is lost. Those feeling overwhelmed or not deriving joy from it anymore should indeed consider taking a break, reflecting, and perhaps seeking other forms of entertainment or relaxation.

I agree that a healthy relationship with any form of entertainment involves balance, self-awareness, and boundaries. It's essential for individuals to check in with themselves regularly to ensure they're engaging in these activities for the right reasons. Your post serves as a valuable reminder of the importance of self-reflection and moderation.

Online gambling platforms exists not only to get you some lucky wins, it's also another form of entertainment,  but I will like to ask if truly you people are getting that entertainment from gambling?
I will say yes. There are times I will be with my friends and we can take laptops and phones and gamble together. That makes it an entertainment for me.

There are times that I may be alone and I have nothing doing, I can gamble with little amount of money that time. I am always busy and I only have little time for this which is during weekend.

We can see what the world is becoming now, things are getting harder and what's on peoples mind is how to make even more money, there is no time, there are too many responsibilities,  are you sure you getting entertained?
When I was addicted, I remember it was because I was looking for a way to be earning weekly income, I tried gambling and it affected me negatively until I realized that I was stupid for thinking like that. Gambling can not be a source of income. When I started to work, all I was thinking is to use 5% or less to gamble. There are many people that are contented with what they have but people can not be the same.

Some people already feel like they are not having fun, because what they have in mind is making money, to all people that feels this way, If you feel like you aren't having fun I believe for the greater good, it's better to take a break from gambling and do something else.

Do you agree or disagree?
I agree because that is what is actually happening but gambling should not be seen as a way of making money.

I believe that most people end up messing themselves up with gambling because to them everything is money, money, money, and this can stop your brain from becoming a responsible gambler, the sense of protecting yourself from gambling addiction can get lost if you are already not having fun with gambling anymore.
I can not agree more, you are right.
