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.

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.

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.

I'm a self employed work from home person and so I don't really have a job routine that requires me to go to an office for my jobs, most of tye time, my gambling routine is always at night when I'm done with my design work since i do sports bet in a betting shop that's in my street. Because of the nature of my work and how I planned my gambling, it doesn't really interfere with my jobs except in times when I lose certain huge amount of money that ends up giving me a bad night that affect my next day in my design work.

But from the angle of someone that's working for an organization and probably has ty organization finance in his possession, it's not advisable to gamble while in your effort both for your mental sake and so you don't get tempted to use your company resources while gambling.

Does it really makes sense when so many claim that gambling at work affects job effectivity, yet nobody works non-stop at work and during working days always have moments to go make a coffee, chat with others employees, check their social media or simply surf in the internet? Why spending 15 minutes on gambling is unacceptable and will have an impact on result, but reading news for 30min while drinking morning coffee + going out every few hours for a smoke is ok and does not make affect on a result?

Reading the news, drinking coffee, smoking, and even talking with your friends is a different activity from gambling. Gambling requires focus (depending on the game that you are playing), and you need to have enough time to decide on your bets. Some gambling games are not about placing a bet randomly and just waiting for the results to come out. Unless you are playing games that are purely on luck, but sometimes even in these kinds of games you will not have a great result if you gamble at work.

Gambling requires enough time to think and decide for every bet. If you do that while you are working, it may highly affect your decision-making. You might make a rush decision due to the limited time you have on gambling. Aside from that, gambling while working is a domino effect that once you are affected by the result of your gambling activity, your work will also be affected and as a result, you will not be productive at all.

Gambling is a game of prediction, the better the prediction, the higher the chance of winning. So if someone gambles at his workplace then his full focus is not on gambling. Part of his focus will be on gambling and part on work so he will not be able to make good predictions at this time. And so his chances of losing will be very high. If someone has a habit of gambling at work, it is undoubtedly a bad habit. and such addiction destroys people in many ways. So I will call such a person as a 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.

Although there are many negative aspects of gambling at work but there are many gamblers who gamble at work. For many of us, gambling is stressful at that time, but some gamblers find that gambling at that time is more enjoyable, especially if they win. But it is normal to be sad when you lose. There are some gamblers who have made gambling their habit. Even if they lose, they have no regrets. They rather try to win the next bet. But if a person gambles with borrowed money or gambles beyond his limit then he will not be able to be normal at work and work environment will become negative for him as he will be under various pressures.

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.

Gambling addiction is actually one thing that can make a gambler break rules and protocols. Even works that does not permit a gambler to gambler when on duty, if the said gambler happens to be an addicted gambler, he must find a way to satisfy that urge called addiction. He will be willing to face the consequences because the driving force towards gambling is stronger than anything.

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.

When someone is addicted to gambling, of course they will look for ways to gamble and it doesn't matter where they are, all they think about is gambling, even in the environment where they work, when they have free time, they will gamble, of course this will make their boss feel angry. if you find employees during working hours carrying out gambling activities that make them unable to complete their work properly.
If you can gamble at your place of work, of course I have never encountered this and how could there be a workplace that can allow their employees to gamble, of course this will make them lazy in completing the work that is the responsibility of an employee.

Why we cant really just that wait up for us to go home before we can be playing gambling? It doesnt really that took that much or how many hours. You would really be that risking your job
if you tolerate out such gambling considerations.

If they are too addicted, they cannot delay gambling anywhere, even in the office where they work.
Even when I was still working in the marketing office, there were many of my friends who played slot games on their mobile phones during working hours.

any violation records towards the company is something that not be good reflection on what kind of worker are you. Its true that if you cant be able to control your gambling urge
then you shouldnt have been working but instead you would really be that doing gambling in the convenience of your own home.lol

LOL, they really need to leave the world of work that has a boss and definite work rules, They need to gamble full-time and hope to hit the Jackpot on every slot spin.
But this kind of activity has become a hidden habit, and maybe their boss doesn't know.

Most of the people will gamble in the office on their cell phones and they will do it hiddenly. They may tell to their colleagues about it, whom they are very good friends and trust them, but usually, it's just a hidden activity that no one knows about in the offices.

Surely in hiddenly, any boss if he sees his employees playing gambling or even playing games other than gambling,
it cannot be tolerated and certainly must be given a warning.

But about how this hidden activity is, there will naturally be some employees who will not be happy.
If you already know the world of work and competition in work to be an exemplary employee,
then activities like this will easily leak, and of course there is one person who tells about the activity to his boss to increase their rating.

There is no tolerance when a job that should not be interfered with other work let alone gambling, because it will affect the condition of the company.

Are there any gamblers who gamble at work and let their bosses know that they are gambling? I guess this does not happen anywhere because if the bosses know about their employee's gambling activities in the office, it is enough for them to declare bad image of the employee, even though he might be a good employee.

If the bosses allow the employees to gamble in the office and/or allow one or two employees who insist on this, this will just disturb the overall environment of the office and no company owner will want such a culture in the office.

Most of the people will gamble in the office on their cell phones and they will do it hiddenly. They may tell to their colleagues about it, whom they are very good friends and trust them, but usually, it's just a hidden activity that no one knows about in the offices.

This is indeed very disruptive to work productivity and will certainly be strictly prohibited.
They don't think that their jobs will be at stake and if they don't intend to work, it's better to resign and play full-time gambling.

This is what im saying and just like you, this is really that rampant here in our office too on which there are even people who do play "Scatter" as it seems that they dont have any office work.
So far they havent been caught yet but in their situation or case then im really that having that kind of worries because once they do get caught then they would really be might given some warning and
any violation records towards the company is something that not be good reflection on what kind of worker are you. Its true that if you cant be able to control your gambling urge

In every thing in life there would really be a specific time for every specific moment on every specific situation. You cant just that make your work to be put up at risks
just because you do really just simply like to gamble. It isnt really just that worth if you do lose up your job because of uncontrolled gambling behavior.
It isnt really just that something that could make you that survive on day to day expenses. You should think up well with that.

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.

The law of Concentration states "Whatever we do and dwell upon grows and increases in our lives". Whether one gamble during break , we don't. need to make it sound unique. It a bad work ethics overtime you get used to it, whenever is break you gamble which go lead to downtime in your performance. You're risking your money be it for fun ( we all lie to ourselves) you are gonna be pissed off or think, review why you lost even if it’s 1 minutes and the brain is wired in the sense that it will continually playback all those activities subconsciously.

I disagree with you that gambling is one of the means people use to cope with stress and boredom, how? Is it entertaining? As you stake your money, one feel refresh and relieve? To go about there daily business (work). So are saying is dumbed for someone to Facebook while at work and very sensitive to gamble at work? You can gamble when you get home to avoid being frustrated at work after a lose. What other degree of nonsense is greater than gambling at work, mean why break its a time for meal and having a refreshing moments before continuing your task.
Let us be real, and uphold proper work ethics, and also pay proper attention in other areas of our life.

Anything which is really that out of scope in correlation to your work is something nonsense and there's a probability that someone would be able to caught you and once your reported then you would really be having that strike on which means that you had put up yourself on such huge trouble if there would really be some possible laid off because of what you are doing. Gambling at work is never been that ideal.

You cant really be that so confident that no one would really be that having some complaints or having some reports that do came from your co-workers. Even if you do sees them to be just fine for you to do so
but you dont really know on whose the ones who do make out such report on which it could potentially be leading up for you on becoming jobless and this is something that we dont really like for it to happen.

It all matters on how it does affect you, based up on what you have said on which there are individuals who would really be having that kind of stress relief on their part on the time that they do gamble.It would really be just that matter on you whether you would really be having that kind of intent or impressions towards gambling. As long you are playing yourself on vacant time
then you arent that putting up yourself on such situation then it would really be just that fine. People do mess up their lives on the time that they would really be making bad decisions in towards their
gambling. You could really be able to make yourself having some fun when you are on vacant but dont make yourself do play on work time because this is the bad thing that you would really be doing.
This is why it would be best that you should have that control when it comes to this situation.

Unless you are playing games that are purely on luck, but sometimes even in these kinds of games you will not have a great result if you gamble at work.

Gambling requires enough time to think and decide for every bet. If you do that while you are working, it may highly affect your decision-making. You might make a rush decision due to the limited time you have on gambling. Aside from that, gambling while working is a domino effect that once you are affected by the result of your gambling activity, your work will also be affected and as a result, you will not be productive at all.

I agree with this in here. Well gambling during your breaks or menial work on your job may sound interesting to some people, it is not ideal to do long term. Because in gambling it would put you into some mental stress. You win some cash, you lose some money, you may probably lose your account. Then how can you perform well in your job if your mind is stressing about your win/lose. If you cannot regulate your stress and emotions well, other aspects of your life not only to work may get affected negatively as well. Worst, it may turn to some addiction.

I can open news portal and read about war, disasters or incidents and my mind will be stressed and worried either. In fact, most likely I will get interested with that and will try to read more, find more details or search for other opinion on other news portals. It might turn 15 minutes of morning news into regular checking news for updates. Also loss of a focus on a job. However, this is considered as "nothing serious", but gambling at work inacceptable. While both is slacking from employer point of view.

Any type of games you play at work can distract you and hinder you. I did not participate in gambling in the workplace, however I did play mobile games for a long time. This made it difficult for me to progress in my career. I have now been free from gambling during work for over two years and it has had a beneficial effect on my professional life. I got a promotion at work and started earning more. Therefore, if you are striving for success at work, it is advisable to give up any kind of gaming during working hours.

True, it has the potential to hinder and delay the more important activity in your life, your work, because your attention and concentration will surely be diverted no matter how skilled you are at managing both. There is so much to lose when you try to juggle two activities at the same time that the results of your work are likely to be less than optimal and losing is another possible risk.

Of course as you said that this habit of gambling at work will be able to hamper your career in the world of work where it may be difficult for you to develop to crawl up to a higher position with a higher income or salary, and thankfully if you have managed to get out of the bad habit of gambling at work it is good. But there is something that should be more concerned than that, which is a more serious problem is that there is a high possibility for you to experience problems in the company where you work where the fear is that if your boss finds out about your bad gambling habits when you are at work then obviously there is a high probability that you will be fired and lose your job, because overall gambling has a negative perspective in the eyes of society while the workplace is a place where you have to be professional.

Reading the news, drinking coffee, smoking, and even talking with your friends is a different activity from gambling. Gambling requires focus (depending on the game that you are playing), and you need to have enough time to decide on your bets. Some gambling games are not about placing a bet randomly and just waiting for the results to come out. Unless you are playing games that are purely on luck, but sometimes even in these kinds of games you will not have a great result if you gamble at work.

Gambling is a game of prediction, the better the prediction, the higher the chance of winning. So if someone gambles at his workplace then his full focus is not on gambling. Part of his focus will be on gambling and part on work so he will not be able to make good predictions at this time. And so his chances of losing will be very high. If someone has a habit of gambling at work, it is undoubtedly a bad habit. and such addiction destroys people in many ways. So I will call such a person as a crazy

There are too many things that will determine the impact of gambling at work on the gambler and on his job. First of them is the nature of work. There are some jobs that keeps you totally engaged that you rarely have time to even touch your phone or computer when you are on duty. In this type of situation, there is no way to gamble at work and if you try to excuse yourself often to gamble, this might put you in problems.
Second factor is the type of gamble involved. If it is something like sports book, one can easily place bet within 5 five minutes of excusing himself from work. But other types of gambling that keeps you engaged such as likes dice, it will be very difficult to combine the work with gambling unless the work does not require so much focus.

I worked in an online casino before in my country, since our platform was new at that time, our bosses gave us money on our account to try and play different games from different gaming platforms. Try the platform before it is released. And as time passed by and our platform was released, one of my co-worker still plays, but this time on different platforms. I was not sure if it's allowed but our manager just let him play since he is the one who bring lots of profit in the company. I may no longer work there but still it's a fun experience to try out and play different platforms as if you are really playing with your own money.

Yeah, I think the only way to actually make some money out of gambling is to have some kind of offset from free credits or something similar.

That way you can actually lose some money, but still end up on top because of the free credits.

It is important we know what we are doing if not, we could keep losing money to gambling so that we don't get fired for gambling at work. It might be difficult to know if we are working in a close door company where we are always using computer. It is good we utilize the break we are supposed to use for launch to gamble if we are a good gambler that is interested in playing games to maximize profits. There are people that had been doing that for long without problem but it is very important for us to make sure that we don't involve or tell people around about our gambling activities because this could cause problem for oneself if we are not careful enough.
