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

It would be highly inadvisable to gamble while still carrying out our work activities. like you said, I swear by it because I've done it in the past. Firstly, whatever our work, whatever it is, will reduce the quality of the performance we do, whether it is when we are winning or otherwise. Usually, our focus will be divided between work and the gambling we do. When we are happy or winning, it can have a positive impact on our work. I mean, we kind of have a strong motivation to get work done because we're in a happy mood. but if it is the other way around, the negative impact on what we are doing will be very pronounced.

For example, a high sense of laziness will dominate our thoughts more dominantly. So, our performance is not optimal. Apart from losing money, especially as you said, risking money that you are not prepared to lose is a big mistake. if it makes us win, then we are lucky. if we lose, we will instead look for a loan to cover our basic needs. and this cycle has the potential to repeat itself over and over again, and the most fatal risk is that we no longer have a job. So, I never suggest to someone to carry out gambling sessions in between work activities. because, then we no longer have good control as responsible gamblers.

Yes I did gambling while I was still being an employee long time ago, interesting fact is that my boss and some of my friends in the office also love to gamble so sometime we play together in local poker sites.
We did it wisely so our gambling activity during the working hours was not affecting our jobs/tasks.
It was fun thing to do when there was free time on the working days but of course it is not recommended thing to do by others unless you have similar situation with mine.
Now I'm no longer an employee as I have my own business IRL so I have more time to gamble and I'm free to decide when I want to gamble as I wish.

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.

If it ever get to the stage where you ruminate about gambling in your place of work for more than a minute or so then it is time to seek help from a therapist. And where you work efficiency and output has declined as a result of this it is good to seek help from your colleagues because you may likely be the first person to get fired for not reaching the KPIs set by your company.

Quite alot of us are gambling at work at some point and have chosen gambling and working at the same time, and just as you have rightly said, as long as you do not allow your gambling activities to affect your official duties, it may be permissible in some workplaces.

But then also for some of us, gambling is based on just fun for us and at that we will only offer to spend our time while we already free from every other task for the day, we gamble and sleep, mostly on the weekend.

Yes, unless you are a boss, you won't have a problem playing gambling at work, which might be boring to sit back and relax without a burden on your mind, but if you are just a worker as an employee, you probably won't have time for fun, you have to focus on work because of that. Of course, it is an obligation that a worker must carry out, gambling is for fun so it is impossible to have fun at work.

At least set aside a few hours on the weekend to gamble, for example in the evening when you have finished spending time with your family, at least we can gamble in peace and relax, don't rush to gamble and win a lot of money, new casinos always come every day so there's no need to worry about casinos being closed, there is always time to gamble so don't make a habit of gambling at work it won't be good.

gambling at work? The idea is intriguing, no? It feels cinematic, like sneaking a game between meetings. Typical of the forbidden fruit being the sweetest. Who hasnt wanted a little adrenaline to break up the 9-to-5? However, we cant overlook the tremendous wall of duty, right? Work time, not gamble time - thats how it goes.

You're right about weekends! Its comforting to know the casino lights will always blink, waiting for us. No rush, no worries; they wont leave. Responsibility and enjoyment can coexist, but separation is vital, right? Keep the excitement for after-family times, and everyone wins!

I do not really have a problem gambling from work because I have everything well planned out. It does not interfere with my job in any way whatsoever... I spend less than 30 minutes predicting and placing my bets. Although this is possible because of the nature of my job that requires I am on my computer with internet access always.

Gambling to me is just a sides hustle to compliment what I do. I don't plan with gambling money neither am I desperate to win. So to me it is fine gambling from work.

But you have to remember that even though you can plan it well, you can experience changes to your plan because we are only humans who can experience mood changes. It can cause us to deviate from the plans we have made. But hopefully, you will stick to your plan so that you don't experience any problems if you continue to gamble while you work. And I hope that when gambling, you only use the money you can afford and still control yourself because you are gambling at work, where someone may find out.

If the work doesn't need the supervision of his boss, that's fine. Even if he is playing Dota in his cubicle, it will just be fine as long he can submit results in time. But maybe to some bosses it will be a problem especially if the rest of the employees also play more. This is using the company's resources for your benefit.

But whatever is prohibited is always the most desirable. So even if the bosses doesn't want employees to play/gamble while working I'm sure we do it whenever there is a chance as long as we can use our phones.

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.

- During my time as an employee, I never had that experience. Furthermore, if you are an employee and insist on gambling online, it will greatly distract you and you will be unable to focus completely on your work. The worst case scenario is that if your superior catches you, you may be sacked from your work.

Of course, if that happens, you'll have an even bigger problem because, in addition to not having a job, you'll also lose a motivation to gamble. If you have a normal mentality, you will put your gambling where it belongs and not allow it interfere with your work, right?

If you're the type that gambles while at the place of work, then you have to think twice because that may just be the risk that might kicked you off that precious job you had, also if you're using your salary earnings for gambling thinking it will yield more of its kind, then you're just wasting time because you may not realize making savings at the end and still be in debt.

Business fund shouldn't be use for gambling, if you dare try such then make sure that you have a backup recovery fund for that, else you're in shame and disgrace, it's no more a new thing whereby you will see some men gambling with the little money they have while the family is on hunger and needs, this shouldn't be, we need to retrace back our steps.

My co-worker are into basketball and we are all betting and so far there’s no problem with our work and I think a good balance is advisable and if you think gambling is stressing you a lot and you are losing your focus because of gambling, then better to stop it now. Some companies are prohibiting this as well, so better to know your policy first before you gamble because you might lose your job just because of gambling, and that is not acceptable.

I believe on his case, his co-worker is not literally gambling and working at the same time since he is playing sportsbook which doesn’t need that much attention once place bets. Anyone can place bet quickly using minor breaks on work.

I think playing slot games at work that requires attention is what the OP doing that makes him distracted at work. I disagree that most of us here doing this kind of gambling at work. I will never do this because it’s forbidden at work. There’s a repercussion on doing this and caught since it will reflect on your resume that will make you harder to find jobs in the future. There’s a time and place to do gambling and that’s not on work for me.

It's not fair to your employer, and you can be considered a cheater and a compulsive gambler if you gamble within office hours, you don't do this even during your lunch and coffee breaks, you will lose your concentration and this is stealing working hours even if its a break it is within your company premises and time and you are caught, people will consider as a cheater and compulsive gambler and people will not trust you and your company will have second thought giving you a position that deals with money for the fear that you will use it to gamble.
Gambling during office hours is the fastest way to lose your job and the trust of your bosses.

Playing gambling while working will only bring you problems because you will not be able to complete your work well and there might be problems with your co-workers.
If you often gamble at work, you should immediately stop it so that someone doesn't like it and report you to your boss.
Or if you really want to gamble at your place of work, it's best to gamble when you're on break so that no one feels disturbed by seeing you gamble.
Maybe someone will ask you and try to gamble too, but this will not be a good activity because gambling can cause people who follow you to experience bigger losses than you.

No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small

Me!!! I'm the guilty one.

Well, when it comes to my job's effectiveness, I don't think it's taken a major hit. Gambling for me is just a bit of light-hearted fun, and it doesn't really mess with my work. Actually, I've even been showing my colleagues the ropes on online gambling, and they've been getting into it too. It's become a bit of a group thing – you know, the more, the merrier.

Now, I'll admit, when it comes to eating up the company's time and resources, I'm a bit guilty on that front. But if we're talking about a negative impact on my work, not really – at least, not yet.

Consequences—that's what a gambler who doesn't gamble with the money they are willing to lose will face. Also, gambling at work might reduce the work performance of that employee or gambler, like you said, but I think it all depends on how the gambler handles their losses.

Let's get straight to the point – when you gamble at work, you're just not being a responsible employee. There are clear rules in place for everyone's benefit, and gambling at the workplace is a major no-no. It's a serious offense that could cost you your job. Companies have these rules in place to ensure that everyone is productive, and there's no second chance if you get caught. They already know that your performance at work would be beyond expectation when you're gambling on the clock.

There are some people who will lose a bet, and they will not even feel so sad about it because they are already experienced in the game, and they also did not gamble with the hope of just winning without also considering the loss that can come if the game doesn't go as planned. So, if a gambler knows that they are the kind of people who cannot handle their losses very well, then let them avoid gambling while working; otherwise, let them also enjoy the consequences.

Nothing wrong if you gamble at work but make sure that it doesn't affect your work and you're off duty when you do that. As long as it's your money and you don't touch your company's money or anyone from your colleagues. But if you're going to that point that you're also using your company's time and resources to your gambling then you will pay the price of it. Your work ethic will also be affected and brought to the point that you will never like and you'll regret it in the end. Well, I'm not trying to be clean but I have never done this although with other websites and activities, I've done it except gambling. Since before, there's not that much gambling sites that I know when I was in the office and good thing that I have not known any of them during those times because despite my office not being strict, they're always asking things related to our daily tasks and what we've done on our office hours.

Gambling at work to me, means a lot since it is a form of distraction and that is why some company never allow the use of personal computers at the work the reason being that with a personal computer, the worker will have more things installed in it such as games and other gambling apps and tools, so allowing them to work from such PC will cause a lot of distractions to them along the way, so best thing is for the company to provide them with a working PC that has nothing on it unless the official workplace for the staff to carry out the job.

Not just those things, if data-wise, the company might think that employee is doing something else and trying to get into their data and might copy it and sell it to their competitors.

Quote from: Wiwo on October 13, 2023, 01:28:10 PM

Sometimes, those who work as private businessmen and work for themselves can be flexible and gamble between work schedules, but to be honest it doesn't sound well to gamble at work for me, since it does cause distractions.

It varies per employee if it sounds not right for them. And that's a respect to the company and the place where you're working so whether you're off duty and you're at the right time, that's your way of giving respect to your bosses. But as I've said, as long as you're not spending your company's time and resources, then it shouldn't be a problem at all or much better that you ask your company if it's fine. Because if you're doing it secretly, then you know what the answer is.

Honestly, I wonder why people keep creating threads about gambling addiction knowing that we are in the gambling section and promoting casinos, this could scare off potential new customers, I highly doubt that the number of people addicted to gambling bad luck, are greater than the number of people addicted to alcohol, sex, drugs, theft. So there is no need for people to panic and start creating or constantly talking about gambling addiction, because the number of cases of gambling addicts is very low.

and because I think that the number of people addicted to gambling is low, the reason is quite simple: because in our streets, neighborhoods, cities, families, we will hardly see anyone addicted to gambling, while we will easily see someone addicted to gambling. in drugs, alcohol, sex. Therefore, it is easy to conclude that gambling addiction has a very low number of cases. In case of op, he is also promoting a casino, and he has already had problems with gambling, so he must be very attentive to any sign of having the same symptom he had in the past when he worked so that he can correct himself early. I hope people don't dramatize things about gambling addiction too much

First off, gambling is something that's supposed to be done during wee hours and not be done whenever you're busy, not only are you aggravated by the losses you incur from the gambling spree that you're doing during office hours, you're probably also distracted so you're gambling more than you're working, hence the poor work performance. That's why it's seen by many as a pastime in the first place. It's an established fact that you must only do stuff like these whenever you're not busy. In any case I guess it's great that you know by now how important it is to gamble undistracted and to work during work hours lol, perhaps take this time as well to actually get off of gambling and do something else?
