When the gambler get addicted to the gambling sites,then the gambler will do the gambling for the multiple times.They also use their office time for the gambling.If they had free time in the office mean,it will be good.Incase he use the most important time in the office mean,it leads to loss of the job.The job is the essential one for the gambler by this he can settle the family needs and personal needs by the salary.The most of the gambler will face the emotional affect by the loss in the gambling.So they will start to play the gambling in the office and home to recover the complete loss in the past.But it can’t work all the time.
That's what gamblers who still use their office hours to gamble must be aware of. It would be okay if they gambled during their break time because we were relaxing during our break time. But if it is our time to work, it can make our co-workers suspicious and there will be some who are not happy to see what we are doing and they could report this to their superiors so that we get a warning from their office. And if we don't want to obey the rules in the office, we can get fired and if we are fired, we will lose because we lose our source of income just because we can't differentiate between working time and gambling time. Don't let us do that because, after all, we realize that working in an office can provide us with a steady monthly income, which is different if we gamble. We can experience many losses and lose a lot of money too.

I gotta say gambling at work is probably not the best idea. Your boss is paying you to work, not bet on games online and that being said, everyone deserves a little break now and then. If you've been grinding I don't see an issue with quickly checking a score or placing a small wager when youve got some downtime.
The key is making sure it doesn't get in the way of your actual job. You can't be so focused on sports betting that you're slacking on your tasks. I think it depends a lot on your line of work too. Some jobs are more flexible than others when it comes to stuff like this. You definitely gotta make sure its allowed where you work first, don't wanna get in trouble with the boss over some bets!
So it is better that we gamble on time and not the workplace, it is the best option that a worker can choose if he wants to gamble, because whether or not it affects the task or work when we are at work doing gambling is a bad option, especially if you are working. The key is making sure it doesn't get in the way of your actual job. You can't be so focused on sports betting that you're slacking on your tasks. I think it depends a lot on your line of work too.

Yes in some workplaces it may be more flexible and allowed to do anything at work, but the bad impact on psychology if we do gambling and then we lose in gambling it can usually disturb the mind for a long time, so you should not do gambling at work, even if you are allowed by your boss to gamble at work.
It depends on your attitude towards gambling and some people feel differently about gambling. Yes, if you lose a bunch, it can stress you out big time. But some people can have fun with it and not go overboard. They see it as entertainment or a way to chill on a break from work. Really it's about finding the right balance so it doesn't mess up your work. What's good for someone might not work for the next person and you gotta think about your own deal and do whats right for you.
In my opinion, even if he is able to control his gambling and manage his attitude, gambling at work is not the right time to get pleasure from gambling, because this goes back to the risks that a gambler might get, which could damage his work activities, but in my opinion this depending on what gambling is done, some gambling may be done in a short time and not burden your mind
Maybe it would be better to look inside yourself first, whether you have a compulsive nature or not because it will affect your mentality and thoughts from the impact of gambling which can put you in a bad situation, work is a priority at work, not because If you don't have the patience to gamble, you instead make careless decisions.
Personally, I would rather avoid that, even though I am quite confident that I can control myself and be professional at work after losing gambling at work, but I also do not deny the impact that might occur if at any time I am not in control.
True, gambling at work just sounds like a bad idea overall.
There are moments when gambling can be enjoyable, even if it involves losing a small amount of money. There's always someone who deposits $3, $5, or $7 to indulge in slot games during their work breaks or meal times. For someone earning a $1000 monthly salary, I believe it's not an issue as long as it's not a constant practice. Once a week is probably normal, especially if, on one of those days, the gambler manages to win a certain amount; it could boost their motivation to work again.The key is to keep the amount of money relatively low to mitigate the worst risk in gambling, which is losing. This way, the small losses won't significantly impact your performance for the day.
Remember that work can sometimes become monotonous, and a bit of refreshing entertainment can help you regain your enthusiasm and productivity.
when im really that getting bored or there's something nothing to do but i do agree on some points that it wont really be that ideal that you should really be playing while you are at work.
You would really be basically be affecting your work efficiency but if you are still in good control then it wont really be that an issue but if you could really be able to do your work and doesnt
compromise then its just fine.
Its not bad to gamble but dont know if your boss or managers would really be loving on seeing that, but of course you wont really be that dumb
on not to hide yourself while you do gamble.

Thank you for sharing your experience OP. I never gamble during work hours and rightfully so as there is almost always some work that would need my attention.
Gambling in the workplace could definitely lead to a decline in your productivity at work and being your primary source of income, the effects that would follow wouldn’t be pleasant. I think gambling in your workplace could lead you into financial ruin even faster than playing physically at a casino as you’re at work most days of the week and could likely gamble each day you go in for work.
When you’re out of money to gamble, your work buddies that may or may not be your gambling buddies could lend you some money to pay back when you receive your paycheck. Sllowly, your debt begins to accumulate and then, no one is willing to lend to you anymore. You head over to the bank or worse, a loan shark to borrow money. Your financial woes would only get worse.
There is a time and a place for everything. You certainly shouldn’t be gambling when you should be trying to earn your paycheck.

True, gambling at work just sounds like a bad idea overall.
It might limit how much work you can get done, it might cause you to get fired, or even having to pay fees if somehow you did something wrong legally speaking.
At the end, most gamblers will lose money, so it just doesn't seem like a good idea to do it at the place where you make money.
By gambling during working hours, of course, the work will accumulate and those who are just cool playing gambling forget that they are in the work environment and sedan is in their working hours, so you are right that it is not good to do it at work, after all gambling is not a good thing but a game that has a bad impact and can damage a person's mindset. it doesn't matter if gambling is only used as entertainment but at least don't do it in the workplace. So those who like to gamble must also know the time and place where they should do gambling so as not to have a bad impact on the company.

That's natural because people think that when they are at work, they can use a little time to gamble and it seems they have been doing it for some time. And so far, they have not encountered any difficulties or problems so they think this can work together. But in reality it is possible that as long as they gamble and experience wins and losses, they have begun to change, starting from their performance and relationships with their co-workers. The emotional factor is clearly visible in a person because if someone experiences defeat in gambling, their emotions will increase, which will affect their performance at work. So it's just a matter of time before the domino effect will cause problems for them. But if they can still control their emotions, that could be okay for them. But it's better not to risk getting fired if we're caught gambling during work hours.
When the gambler get addicted to the gambling sites,then the gambler will do the gambling for the multiple times.They also use their office time for the gambling.If they had free time in the office mean,it will be good.Incase he use the most important time in the office mean,it leads to loss of the job.
For an employee that gambles at work be it break time or not, the simple caption is that such employee doesn't take his job serious and important to him and what he rather priotize is the gambling over his job, and I be his employer I would relieve him of his job so he can go home and have more time to gamble.
Gambling and work can't romance cordially it's either the individual would give more attention to one than the other it can not be balance which turns out to be a loss to the organization because time meant for work would be divided by interest leading to low productivity, mistakes on the job done due to non concentration and others.
People need to use their common sense, if someone at the office catches you playing solitaire or attending a personal call no one is going to make a big deal about it, but if one of your coworkers sees that you are gambling you can be sure they will report you and then you may get fired for not giving your full attention to your job, and with good reason as the company you work for does not pay you to gamble but to do your job properly, something that gambling at the office will not allow you to do.Gambling and work can't romance cordially it's either the individual would give more attention to one than the other it can not be balance which turns out to be a loss to the organization because time meant for work would be divided by interest leading to low productivity, mistakes on the job done due to non concentration and others.
I think it depends on what our job is and how much work we have. If we have finished all the work and there is nothing left to do, maybe gambling is not a bad choice. I think when we have worked together with office friends for a long time, they will not report to their superiors if we gamble. However, what makes me not like gambling while working is because usually I don't enjoy the game less and am more in a rush to play, if conditions like that happen I usually just gamble to spend money. I prefer to gamble in my private space and evenings are a good time for me

It's true that gambling while working is not recommended. If you work, just work, don't do anything else outside of work. Everything has its time, there is time for work, study, play and even gambling. For me personally, I set aside weekend time to gamble and that's only for a few hours, not for long, because the game I play is a slot type and there's no point in lingering on it.

Agree. We need to understand that we go to the office to work. The company hires us to work seriously, they won't let us to do something like gambling at the office. Gambling probably ruins the focus, specifically when we get losses. How we can work properly if we have a bad mood after losing some money in gambling. So, gambling at office will ruin the quality of work in the office. I can't imagine if many workers do it. Sure, the company demands our loyalty, seriousness, and the quality of working. They surely don't pay us for gambling, it doesn't make sense to gamble at office. If the managers or the owner find out the workers to gamble at office, it is very possible they sack the workers.
Although you may have a reason to relieve boredom at work by gambling, it is not recommended, because it will clearly be able to damage your seriousness and focus at work, and if in the end your gambling results are not in accordance with your wishes, it is very likely that you will get emotional there and of course your mood at work will be lost because of these emotions. Every job will always instruct its employees to be disciplined, responsible and honest and always apply professional work to all employees. This is very contrary to gambling, so it's better to prevent than to cure.

If you able to manage working and gambling at workplace altogether then good for you even though that doesn't mean it is that so simple for others to manage it that way too. There are people that can quickly get carried away that they use extra work time to continue in their gambling at a supposed time when break should be over, and because not everyone has the ability to manage it all together in good thats why organisations frown against gambling at workplace and abhor workers who would want to mix work with gambling because it will most likely affect productiveness of the worker no matter how they may try to be in control of how they gamble.
Fun is necessary at workplace but not with through gambling there's high possibility of a loophole for low productivity no matter what.
Fun is necessary at workplace but not with through gambling there's high possibility of a loophole for low productivity no matter what.
Not only gambling but also other activities that can distract an employee in attending to his work. Aside from that, the company sees it unfair to see their employee using their working time for gambling thus, if the employee is caught, the company will impose a penalty or punishment to the guilty employee.
Aside from that, some employee are unable to control their emotion and when they lose their gambling activity, their performance in their work is affected resulting in getting agitated easily or making errors and mistakes with their work. The efficiency of these employees becomes lower thus, the company is losing as a result.
If we value our jobs then better to remove all distractions and perform at optimum so that the company will feel that they are right in employing us and probably will think of giving us a raise.

snip.
I do not recommend gambling at work in any way. And it's not that the authorities or the security service can notice you. Although a month ago, in the neighboring department, we fired a guy who played on the forex exchange from a work computer.
It's especially bad to play from the workplace because you lose concentration. The game takes all the attention on yourself and all your emotions.
Imagine that you lose a large sum playing at work - how can you be productive the rest of the day?

Yes in some workplaces it may be more flexible and allowed to do anything at work, but the bad impact on psychology if we do gambling and then we lose in gambling it can usually disturb the mind for a long time, so you should not do gambling at work, even if you are allowed by your boss to gamble at work.
I would never do that. The most important reason is that you need to focus while making bets. You can get distracted easily while working and that means you can make lots of mistakes. If you make mistakes that means you will be making bad bets and bad bets make you lose money. You should always have a clear mind while making bets. You can even get fired if your boss catches you while gambling which is another risk. How are you gonna gamble if you have no income? That’s too much risk and stupidity in one place.
True, the risk is too big, don't look at it from one side only when doing gambling at work, it has the potential to be bad at the work we do, I personally also never do gambling at work, Once upon a time in my work environment there was a person who gambled in the workplace and during work time, I only reminded him before he was fired from the company and could no longer gamble because he had no income.
This is what I think is very common among gamblers,and as long as you are a gambler,and you are the type that gambles online,you will definitely gamble while at work.I do this most atimes,and can't deny that fact because I enjoy doing it.but the most annoying part of it is that anytime I try gambling when I'm at work,I aways end up losing because my mind won't be on it,my attention is always devided,and that is what makes me lose.In gambling,one needs to be very attentive to the games he or she is playing because any misplacement that you do,your money is gone,and before you know it,you've had a bad day at work.I think it isn't something to try if you haven't tried it before.
Online gambling is affecting the office workers badly very well. Because it is easy for them to bet with their mobile phones and in most time they only bet sports and not on casinos. It is only few gamblers use casino to busy themselves in their offices. And another thing that make them weak is that, those office workers, they would go the sporting hall and bet on the game of their choice and take the ticket along to their office and be monitoring the bets from his Android phone and once he lose the game then then day work has spoiled.
