As long as you're no longer at your work, you're free to do anything you want and even to gamble at your own pace.

Just give respect to the company that have trusted you to do your task on your duty time because they've given you an opportunity to work for them and not to abuse them during the period of time that should be rendered for productivity of the company.

I agree with you, but I would like to add, even so if we are still in working hours in the sense that when we are still in working hours but there is no work, meaning that we have free time, I suggest that we do not use it for gambling, because it can get them into trouble, because people's views vary on gambling, it could be with their own workmates who do not like gambling so they can report to the boss if we do gambling during working hours or in the work environment. so in my opinion, gambling is better on non-working days,  such as days off work, because then we can enjoy the gambling trip.

That's the key, don't abuse time, if it's still during working hours or in the work environment even during breaks I suggest not gambling, even though it's our right, but it's better to consider it again well  because of course we want our jobs to remain safe and not experience problems that can trigger dismissal or dismissal of workers.
Right, I agree that even if you don't have tasks left and the company just want you to render all of the time on the office, doesn't mean that you're free to do anything that you want.

Just let the time pass until you're out of the office and make sure that you just do the other thing when you're not with the company hours. It is simple as that but many employees failed to follow.

I think this mostly happen on office workers, those workers who uses their skills like mechanic or driver can't gamble while working as it's too risky. However, if you are an employee and you are assign in the office, you have access to the device and internet which you can use for gambling. And just like what has been shared in the posts above, if an employee losses his concentration, it will have a big negative impact to the company especially if the kind of work is very vital, which includes handling on finances, or decision making that will affect the finances of the company.
That's a terrible way to spend your office hours when you can't focus on it and then you can attain to gamble using the company's resources and computers and stuff.

It is for sure that someone who will get caught might be called by the HR and given an incident report. A company that has a gambler will definitely have a second thought about that action.

Much better not to break the policies of the company's or don't do your hobby during office hours.

It is clear that a person who plays at work will not be a good specialist. He will always think about winning the game, and he will absolutely not care about the results of his full-time work. Such an employee may accidentally harm himself or others with his inattention, if his work is at least a little related to the safety of people. For example, the other day I saw a bus driver who was watching the match because he bet on one of the teams. And of course his concentration on driving was not high.

This is not a violation because they gamble outside of work or during breaks. I think as long as they take a break, everyone is free to do whatever they want, whether it's gambling or other games, as long as they use it during their breaks and stop when they start working again. and return to focus on doing work without thinking about gambling, but can gamblers control themselves when they lose?? and he returned to work when he was emotional due to his defeat. I think this will interfere with their work.
Yapp... it's true that gambling outcomes can affect someone's work as employee. Many people experience it, even if you don't gamble at the workplace (e.g betting on other place far from workplace), your gambling emotions can still carry over. There are two possibilities, good emotions and bad emotions. I'm okay with the good ones.... it means they won the gamble. But if your bad emotions are out of control and you cause chaos at the office, that's detrimental.

It also depends on the work environment. Sometimes, gambling outcomes can be an interesting topic to discuss at work, LOL... whether for laughs or motivation. For those working without direct supervision, this atmosphere can actually be beneficial for increased productivity. Employees feel more at ease in their work.

It all depends on the work environment, as each job has its own unique atmosphere.

On the time that gambling is already making that huge effect into your work already then it would really be suggested that you should really be stopping it completely.
You are really that putting yourself on so much trouble if you are already affecting yourself specially with your own job. You would really be that basically be endangering your job
if you do come into this point. So its better that you should stop it completely because if  you dont like to lose your job then it would really be just that right that you should
really be prioritizing on things which is feeding you and your family. You cant really just put up the risks on losing it just because you do really just want to play. lol

Obviously and thoughts that are always focused on winning make them indirectly lose their enthusiasm for work or even careless to make many mistakes which of course can harm the company where they work which finally after that problem after problem arises whether it is from mental and psychological disorders due to defeat along with financial problems and the worst is that there is the possibility or potential to lose the main job if at that time his boss finds out about his bad activities involved in gambling at work.

Well yes that's right, if his job as you say is that he is a driver who of course must always focus on driving a vehicle but at the same time he also participates in betting which requires him to divide his focus on two things between driving and watching the match he is betting on then obviously I can't imagine how tense the situation is, especially if he is driving alone without any other employees accompanying him then obviously there are two risks that have the possibility to occur, first if he is unlucky then maybe he will lose his bet money and secondly what is feared is losing control of the vehicle he then which of course can end in an accident.

Are you trying to say specialist don't play?? Even when there's a free time at work they don't have some fun even if it really doesn't have to be intensed or long, a few minutes of fun and all that, just to ease off during break hours, well I don't think I will agree with you on the fact that one can't be a good specialist because of few minutes of play at work.

I will only agree that such persons can be distracted especially when they have a game running but that doesn't take away their skillfulness in what ever field of work they find their selves so it's typically only but a distraction and not a reason not to be a good specialist. At the point the game they staked on is running it may lose some little distraction to their mind because they would want to know the possible outcome of such a game. Some persons can actually be disciplined enough not to allow such distract them actually. while at work so it doesn't apply to every one.

Everyone needs a job right, although we don't work all our life but we have to take care what we have now, gambling should not be the result why we get suspended, or worst terminated.
This happened to a friend of mine at work where he used his work computer to gamble and it was done during working hours, unfortunately he was caught on CCTV and his co-worker reported it to his superiors, until finally he was fired from his job and he is now unemployed. , I don't know what he was thinking when he already had a salary because he worked but was looking for side money from gambling during working hours.

Even though this method is not recommended as a gambler, perhaps it is because of his addiction or curiosity that he cannot bear to gamble so he has to gamble during work hours and at the office. Even I, a gambler, never dare to do that because a professional attitude must be upheld in the workplace where We as workers must be able to act professionally and not use work time for other activities.

I remember a friend back then in 2021 during covid that we worked as emergency delivery agent who was sacked along the line due to his over involvement in gambling and that affected him alot,  he use to play sport bets alot and at that will be checking his games constantly and if he wins he make it obvious that he has won,  and when he lost he may not come to work.

The company became tired of him and at some point, they got him fired that was the end I heard from that guy,  so for me,  gambling at work is a very bad habit that we all should try as much as possible to avoid,  when at work there is no need for any distractions,  so for sure there is need for full attention and if a company fines you distracted, there will just fire you without looking back.

The people during the Covid are work in the home,So they only do the project support to the project.This leads to huge balance of time in 2021,we still remember the real game we use to play was becoming hard in the Covid.This was the cause of the boom of online gambling industry.Many people joined the online gambling during 2021-2022.The cryptocurrency also get the boom during this period of time.The people search various money making things to handle in the Covid,gambling become the primary source of income for some of the people who loss their job during the pandemic situation of recession.
accepting the reality that in COVID19 days is where the gambling online Boomed , there are tons
of sites now existing to be a gambling sites when back in 2019 there are fewer   so common that we have increased
also our gambling activities , imagine working at home so this means we need to stay whole day , and also those who
have no work or being kicked from work because of cost cutting are mostly the one that gives their faith in gambling t
hose days.
Playing gambling outside office hours is okay because we are outside work. There is no prohibition on gambling after work. And you have done what you should, and it is true, one hour is enough to place all the bets you want. When we are working, we should always focus on our work so that we can complete it without any distractions.

Yeah, that is not a violation anymore as the rules simply says that "gambling at work is prohibited".. However, you have to amke sure that once you are gambling, you'll stay responsible so your performance towards your work is still on an acceptable level, it's not good for gamblers who are weak emotionally as it could potentially result to huge distraction which is not fair for the company.

Gmabling outside work is just like gambling at your home, but like I mentioned, you should stay responsible all the time as if you lose and you let your emotion drive you, it's not only that you lose money, but you could also lose your source of money which is your job.

I think this will interfere with their work.

That's why I advise people to gamble when they get home so that they can be free to do so without worrying about their emotions being taken out on work, because work is more important than anything else compared to gambling itself. If you lose a steady source of income, will you depend on gambling afterwards? of course not right?
but how can we be sure that they are only doing that in break time? because we have already
idea how gamblers act specially when they are engaging much as they care nothing about everything but gambling only?

I kinda agree with that as based on my experience, before I learn online gambling, I already try to have a sports bet with my officemates but on just a very small amount only, and we talk about that bet during free time. Sometimes it will add on the bond of employees creating good relationship, but you know, anything that is excessive is not good, so if it's just a friendly bet, it should not affect our work performances.

And maybe the rules of the company too, because if the rules are strictly implemented, you would not try to break it as it might result to losing a job.

the outcome wasn't positive

That might be a foregone conclusion because its a mixing oil with water really.  Work and gambling is unlikely to work out as you are distracted in the task from both objectives and they are not complimentary.  I would agree maybe with gambling on the bus or train to work some people have awful commute to go through so that would make sense.     The mindset to working and the mindset for gambling are not likely to be helpful to one another so you will be skipping back and forth between them, I cant see this leading to good performance or results in your betting.
Working and gambling both require concentration and focus in doing it, thinking and also pressure because work demands at work cannot be changed to think about other things or even existing problems. Such as family problems, relationships or other problems.
So I don't think it makes sense to be able to gamble while focusing on work, because that's not the place.
And I agree that gambling while riding a train or bus makes more sense and you can play with focus while filling the boredom of travel time, and while listening to music using headphones. Because sometimes I do that, gamble or play games while riding a train or bus that takes more than 2 or 3 hours.
It does not combine well.
I work from home and whenever I have balance in my wallet in my favorite gambling site I tend to spend more time watching the game than working. Not productive. That's what always happens and I realized that before this year ended. That's why my New Year's resolution was to lessen the playtime in casino games and just focus on sports betting. That way, I just need a bit of time to analyze the game, input my bet, and then wait for the game to start. I could still work while waiting for the first tipoff unlike when I play Keno even if it's in an auto bet where I kept on switching tabs just to check if I already hit a good amount or not.
The worst part is if you put sounds in the game. You will hear the sound of Keno hitting a win and a loss. When a losing streak happens you must check if you are near getting rekt, if there's a win you also want to check how much was hit.
So, this must not be done in any working place. Sports betting is okay because we are not really putting bets live, we can do it as early as we can and just wait for the results which could be accessed in Google only.

He never won anything at plinko, and he lost his job as well. He gambled during office hours and using office resources, and he lost it all. I think that's enough of a lesson for me to not follow along his footsteps.  Cheesy

This is worst than just getting terminated, he lose his job (source of income), and he also lose in gambling. I would not be surprise if this person was drowning in debt and might not be able to pay it since he lose his job already. And for this type of seperation from work that was terminated due to a severe violation, I doubt he will be able to find a decent job if he will use the company that fired him as reference for his working experience.

I had someone who's gambling on the laptop issued by the company. We weren't really strict about what you do on your work laptop, provided that you get the job done without any hiccups. The thing is, that man is supposed to check the inventory every day and make sure that the supplies we send out to our partners are of exact numbers. A few weeks past and auditing came. It turns out that the amount paid by our partners does not match the quantity of what we send out to them - we are losing money in thousands of $. After we have checked the files this man is supposed to be working on, we found out that there are figures in there that has an extra number in it. He never paid attention and continued playing plinko at work and he was sent to HR immediately and was terminated promptly. He never won anything at plinko, and he lost his job as well. He gambled during office hours and using office resources, and he lost it all. I think that's enough of a lesson for me to not follow along his footsteps.  Cheesy

Yep, although some people think that they can earn money regularly through gambling, in fact gambling is about leisure, as you rightly said, and it's very stupid to think that you really can earn some good money from this activity. We earn money from our job and it's not worth it to risk losing your job because of doing something for our entertainment like gambling.

I think it is the dream of a gambler to be able to win big and quit their jobs.

That's why they keep gambling, to try and beat the odds and stop their work.

But in the end it's probably worse because they might end up losing their job.

Your opinion is absolutely correct, sometimes someone who is involved in the world of gambling really wants to hope that one day they will get a big enough win, so they think about just quitting their job because they feel tired of working all day and the minimum salary for their daily needs is not enough and they too rely on gambling as a place to make money.
Then he will quickly realize that he has made the wrong decision after he has experienced more losses than wins. and perhaps he regretted his behavior after his job was gone and he had nothing left.

Playing gambling responsibly is difficult, and there is still a possibility that someone will lose their responsibility while they are gambling. And if the loss of responsibility happens in the office, especially when they are working, it will definitely affect their mood and emotions. This will clearly cause disturbance not only for him but also for his coworkers, where they may get into arguments because their work has not been completed.

When someone experiences defeat, especially a big defeat, their emotions will definitely be disturbed or increased. If something is not as usual, they may immediately be carried away by the increased emotions. And that's what might cause problems between him and his other coworkers. So it is highly discouraged to gamble at work to avoid things that we don't want to happen. After all, it's okay if we postpone gambling while we are at work.
