Some people may find that a moderate amount of gambling during breaks or downtime at work does not interfere with their job performance. Some people may even discover that participating in low-stakes gambling games helps them relax and clear their minds, allowing them to return to work feeling renewed. Everyone copes with stress or boredom in different ways, and as long as the gambling behavior does not become excessive or interfere with one's duties at work, it may not be appropriate to describe such people as "crazy."
That being said, it is essential for individuals to check their gambling habits and avoid developing an addiction that could harm their job and personal life.

Yeah, I agree with the sentiment here.

If you can bet while working that means you can be using that time to do whatever else, like facebook or any other nonsense.

If that is the case, then it is all good in my mind.
Indeed, different people have their own perspective or preferences of what fun and excitement is all about.
For some, it could be engaging in friendly arguments or conversation with colleagues at work, some would consider going on Facebook to look at their newsfeed and some would rather log in to their online gambling site to make a few bets. So it's just simply a matter of preference.

Most people who are addicted to gambling during their breaks often gamble at work because they already have a habit or addiction that they cannot stop. It is true that gambling really interferes with the productivity of an employee's performance because at that time he has to use his time to rest properly, but with this bad habit the gambler actually uses his rest time to gamble and maybe this is actually not recommended because after he has to go back to work he has very tired and performance will definitely be disrupted. And in the end, as you said, he received sanctions or was expelled from the company.

Like gambling is the only thing that a person can be tired from. It will be stupid if employer fires someone because he gambles from time to time at work. If employee spends whole day gambling instead of working then this one thing. But if employee gambles today for 10 minutes, few day ago did the same, and plans to gamble gamble on Friday for 20min, firing him just for that, when it takes time to find replacement, months to teach new employee, wait till he passes successfully probationary period. Will it really be that wise? If a former employee that gambles during work makes not harm for a company.

They don't have to evaluate things on how much gambling has affected the life of their employees. Man, they just want to keep it simple, that's why a company create a rules for employees to follow, and every rules there's always a consequences of the action, and I think in most companies, if you got caught gambling at work, that means suspension, or worse termination, so it's better to avoid that as they always implement the rules to protect the interest of the company.
Also you should put up into your mind that you've been paid to do the work and not to gamble, so it would really be normal that they would really be strict when it comes to implementing rules on which it would really be just that normal that they would really be strict into it. This is why if you do really value your work then you can gamble later on when you are on your own home and wont really be tending to risks up on doing something like this thing on your working hours because you dont know on who would be the one to tell your manager or the owner that you've been doing such
activity on working hours which its never been that right in the first place. Gambling could really wait and it would be ideal that it should be done when you are going home or simply
you have finished your work. Its risk free on losing your job but the risk would be transferred on losing money when you do gamble. lol

I'd like to share my experience with you all. Even though I'm not currently employed, I went through a phase of gambling while I was working in the past, and the outcome wasn't positive. It affected my job performance because, as you may know, when you lose, you tend to dwell on your losses and constantly think about strategies to win. When we talk about work, it usually means we're not particularly wealthy, and imagine what happens when we gamble money we can't afford to lose, especially when we're not earning much.

Let me tell you, the feeling is far from pleasant. It leads to a decline in your work performance, which can have significant consequences since that's your primary source of income. It might be manageable if you're winning, but the harsh reality is often quite the opposite. Even when we do win, we tend to spend most of our winnings, so we don't treat it as business money. This leaves us in a precarious situation when we lose because the money we initially budgeted for our families gets diverted to cover unexpected gambling-related expenses.

I'd like to hear from those of you who have experienced this or are still dealing with it. Please share your testimonies.


It’s brave to talk about the challenges and how it affected your job performance. Your story serves as an important reminder of the need to keep gambling separate from work and to gamble responsibly, using only what we can afford to lose.It's clear that finding a balance and managing our gambling habits are crucial to ensuring they don't interfere with our professional lives or financial well-being.
Your experience highlights the importance of learning from our gambling outcomes, whether wins or losses, and making informed decisions moving forward.Let's take your story as a learning opportunity, encouraging each other to enjoy gambling as a leisure activity without letting it impact our job performance or financial security. Here’s to making positive choices and finding a healthy balance in our gambling habits!

A person sometimes can't manage their time, everything is mixed up and in the end there will only be one activity that stands out more.
I always follow the work schedule that I make, so it will not be too complicated and does not result in the main work or others.

I agree with you. Gambling has the potential to disrupt your working hours therefore it is better to make a schedule. I also have a friend who is addicted to gambling. He once gambled at work during his break. It didn't become a problem until he continued gambling and spent several hours gambling. It reduced his productivity significantly. I once advised him and at that time he didn't listen to me. And now he has been fired from his company. Now he regrets his actions but it was too late.

I think you can still do it if you know how to "read the room".

If you are simply gambling at any time, independent of what's going on at work then yeah, most probably that person will get in trouble.

But if you only do it when there's free time at work, then you can probably get away with it.

If you are allow to use your device during your breaks and yes there's no problem accessing your favorite gambling site then place your bets, just make sure that you are also capable to control your emotions whatever the outcome might be, most of the time when you suffer from a defeat emotions are fully affected and that will lead you into trouble.

Without proper handling even you are allow to gamble during your breaks that focus with your work might be affected and can lead you not to be fully functional.

While some of us are gambling at work, weather we gambles responsibly or Irresponsibly let's not get lost to consider the nature of the firm where we works and the position we upholds in our jobs because in most cases the company would not care if you are staking with your funds, you might get lost of trust by your boss or the company as it maybe if probably you are entrusted or promoted to any related financial departments.

The speculations about chronic addicted gamblers has aspired most persons who is not related to gambling that gambling is an Irresponsible activity so that instincts alone can cause one to lost promotions or trust by the company.

So I am subjecting that it is not right to gamble while at work. While we are drafting our gambling budgets on either weekly or daily plans of how we could gamble, it don't even find it sensible having a budget to gamble while at work. Even the break time during work hours doesn't Worth it.

I agree,while gambling at work we are subject to pressure of not being caught while we do so and as such we may make big mistakes during such session,when I was in my old job I could as well gamble as I was alone in the office yet any time I did start a session strange enough people from other offices would come to make some chit-chat there with me which translated in me making wrong decisions why keeping my phone and gambling at the same time as I did replied to all of my colleagues.Even if we do it in the break time there is simply not enough time as 30-60 minutes break is not enough for anyone to have a convincing good win except for the times when we hit it big since the beginning of the session,nowadays though this seems a thing of the past.

if I hire an engineer to install the Internet for me and when he is installing it the only thing the technician or engineer does is be glued to the phone, whether playing or something like that, it is something that would bother me, and I also think that, as you say, in a slot machine game, roulette requires concentration, and the slightest kind of lack of concentration can lead to money being lost.
So it is better to separate the two different activities.
If you can do good time management between work, play and other time it will not interfere with either one.
Everything will go well according to the time that has been determined.

I understand that a lot of jobs may not really make gambling at work difficult especially if it is just games like sportsbook that is places one time and the gambler can face other things. It becomes a problem for gambles that are time consuming. I gamble at work because my job permits it and not that I am addicted.

If the place where you work allows gambling, then you are lucky enough because many places prohibit any activity other than the main job to be done.

Doing betting like a Sportsbook does take a little time, just need to determine how many bets will be made and let the match run,
we will only receive the result when the game is over.

But with games like slots, Poker, Dominoes it requires focus.
Slot games may only need to do as many spins as possible in one click, but looking at slot games is addictive

I also think like you, if there is somewhere where you work that you can play, well that is something new for me, as I have said on previous occasions, sometimes there are field jobs where you can do the work and you can play if you want, but play When you are traveling, or you do not have interaction with someone, or you are somewhere far from the work that needs to be done, but when it is time to work you cannot be playing because that is a lack of respect, for example, let's say a job field such as installing a network for the Internet (example) if I hire an engineer to install the Internet for me and when he is installing it the only thing the technician or engineer does is be glued to the phone, whether playing or something like that, it is something that would bother me, and I also think that, as you say, in a slot machine game, roulette requires concentration, and the slightest kind of lack of concentration can lead to money being lost.

That being said, it is essential for individuals to check their gambling habits and avoid developing an addiction that could harm their job and personal life.

Yes, that's right, when a gambling addict is at work and they really want to gamble, maybe they can only do it during a break at work, because if a gambling addict doesn't gamble, they will be very tired or not enthusiastic about doing work, but this has a big impact. It's bad if a gambling addict has fun playing and then forgets to stop gambling, which will result in forgetting that work has started operating again, maybe this is only done by an addict because when we are addicted it will be difficult to stop playing the game and it is very difficult to stop unless there is a special intention. to stop. because if a beginner gambles, it is very unlikely that they will do this while they are at work, yes, there may be some but not many because they are not yet crazy about gambling.

Therefore, gambling addicts must take the time to play and know when to stop playing because the impact of gambling in the work environment can result in the loss of their job.
Addiction is a bad thing and a new member on gamble should not begin gamble with the feelings of winning money, gambling is risky when you don't understand it's purpose, gamble is like a thing of entertainment when you are winning but some people fells so emotional when they are losing their money on gamble. So if a gambler is working he shouldn't gamble when he is busy because he will not get paid for not taking his own job or business services serious. Although these are the things addition cause, additions can make you not to be concentrated if you haven't bet.
Gambling can indeed have a negative impact on one's job or work if he allows it to interfere with their job or business. Gambling at your work place isn't ultimately wrong, one can decide to gamble at the office when they're not busy or less occupied with work tasks, it only becomes a problem when you fully know you have lots of work to do at the office and you decide to neglect your work duties and decide to gamble. That'll only mean one thing, that you're already addicted to gambling and we all know that gambling brings nothing but bad news if not addressed early. Gambling isn't a means to earn income so it's completely wrong to allow it interfere with your original source of income. It's very important for gamblers to find a healthy balance between work and leisure, know when to do which and not allow one to interfere with the other.

I think that when they gamble, their main goal is to make money, double their money or win, it's only natural that many of them become addicted to gambling because their own hopes are wrong. Gambling is a game that can provide profits if you are lucky, this game also carries risks such as losing money which is certain and addiction is a disease with other bad effects when addiction occurs.

Well, that's what's wrong, why should they get emotional when the money they bet on is lost? even though in reality defeat or losing money in gambling is certain, therefore we should be able to accept defeat well, not worrying about defeat is the key to preventing big losses, because when losing money causes our emotions to rise then it is very likely that this will happen. is a big loss... with this, gambling should only be done in your free time, because gambling must also be played with a calm mood, don't let us get carried away when gambling, that's not right.

so it is also difficult to assume when talking about gambling, we must be prepared for the possibilities that the money we put in can win or lose to avoid emotional discomfort. It also affects a person if we are emotionally unstable because we can make decisions that we don't think about carefully. I'm not saying that we shouldn't be afraid, because it's normal if we feel that way, but we should be aware of what might happen so that it won't affect us as badly once the unexpected things happens.

Actually I am one of those people who are gamble at work  if I have a break time then I'll focus on my gambling put my bet and sometimes I'll win but sometimes I'll lost. Anyways that is not the basis cause as long us I enjoy then I will do what ever it happens. But sometimes if I win and I am at work then I will withdraw may winning amount and buy some pizza for my co workers. It's look like I will share some of my winning amount to them. Anyways for me it is good when we are playing in our work as long us we can control our self.

What your co-workers think about you gambling at work? They are fond of it because you buy them pizza, but arent they judging you negatively because you gamble? And wont that free pizza trigger them to start gambling also? Or you dont tell them that pizza is «result of a win in gambling» ?

I am asking so much because you are one of few who does gamble at work, when many condemn doing that at work.
