from the top of my head without even thinking twice, the people that are most vaulnaurable to becoming gambling addict are those that are somehow financially incapacitated and that are at the same time less busy with work. The simple reason is that when you're not engaged in activities that consume most of your time, you're left at the mercy of doing anything to keep yourself busy and as long as you've chosen gambling as that activity, you're going to fall deeply addicted almost without remedy.

As much as we want to restrict our conversation to gambling, it's good to point out that anything that's related to addiction has a lot to do with being idle and not having what you're doing to keep yourself really busy. An idle mind Births a lot of possibilities and that's the root cause of gambling addiction. It makes you vaulnaurable and pushes you to go against your set out gambling rules be your an adult, a teenager, a male or a female.

I agree with you that people that can easily get addicted to gambling are those people who are handicapped financially because they are the major loss chasers, they believe that they can be very wealthy through gambling as such missing priorities failing to understand that in gambling, losing is part of the game, once you lose, you accept it and continue if you want to, not having in mind that you will surely get your lost funds, people that understand gambling never get stucked on the way.
I want you to understand that someone can be very busy and stil gamble aggressively, currently you must not go to live casinos or bet shops to gamble, anyone can gamble at the convenience of their hoem or anywhere they are, so no matter how busy people are, they can gamble uncontrollably, it all depends on individual mindset and the nature of their job too.

Though idleness is also a factor in real sense but as I said earlier it depends on individual mindset, there are people that are iddle but still do things normal, gambling addiction is caused by greed and inability of someone to controls his or her urge of wanting to arrive at impossible point.

Who is most vulnerable? Of course everyone who gambles has the same chance of becoming addicted to gambling, both old and young can become addicted at any time when you or all of us lose control. So the key to minimizing gambling addiction is to try to stay rational, control yourself, and disciplined management in gambling.

More vulnerable is the one who is influenced by emotions, in gambling it is extremely dangerous, when there are several losses you need to distract yourself, but if you do not do this and continue to play on emotions, then you can only make things worse. And it does not matter how poor or rich the player is, if he does not know how to stop in time, then he will be vulnerable and can lose everything he has. An example of a gambler Karas, who was discussed in the neighboring topic, he was a very rich player but in the end he lost everything he had.

Those that are vulnerable the most are the category of people that are not financially stable, gambling when you are not financially stable can cause a lot of setbacks and this can affect you in a lot of ways. My boss at work always tells us that gambling is for fat pockets only. People who get affected the most by gambling habit are people that are struggling financially. It's surprising that some poor gamblers stake as though they are rich, these is what cripples their finances and makes their situation more critical. The system is designed to take from you more than what you win.

Gambling is a lot easier to access now than before. So it is no surprise if more people find themselves gambling. Unfortunately, not a lot of us can be responsible enough to prevent ourselves from falling into deep addiction. This probes the question, who are the most vulnerable to falling into a gambling addiction?

We already know that less privileged people are more prone to getting addicted to gambling with the involvement of financial reward. They are the ones chasing more wins because they actually need the money. The more money they get, the deeper they get into the addiction.

Who is most vulnerable? Of course everyone who gambles has the same chance of becoming addicted to gambling, both old and young can become addicted at any time when you or all of us lose control.

I am sharing this to raise awareness so more people are aware whether they fall under these categories I mentioned and may have high chances of becoming a gambling addict. Let’s keep ourselves informed and in check. Not only ourselves but our loved ones as well.

Thanks for these statistics, I didn't know that people who had any addictions before were so strongly committed to becoming potentially problematic gamblers. Apparently, those experts who claim that all addictions have one basis are right - to escape from reality and not to deal with responsibilities, to wait out the pain of losses or big failures. Nevertheless, I think that with infrequent sessions, gambling is even useful, because it is an excellent stress reliever. And I know many gamblers and betting enthusiasts on our forum who are very good at keeping themselves in hand.

This is one of those facts that may not be known by the general public, but they are known by the professionals that have to treat those people, as in their desire to leave their addiction behind, they begin to engage in other behaviors that are just as bad, so as time goes by those people begin to accumulate more and more addictions, to the point they cannot function anymore like a regular person and they may find impossible to go back to their previous lives.

Due to the biased attitude of the general public, many gamblers and betting enthusiasts are subject to attacks and slander. Society simply loves to simplify everything: "A gambler means definitely an addict." But this is not true. Even managers on our forum often brag about their victories in gambling and betting. And at the same time, they are all respected people who perform a huge number of duties.
I think that this whole phenomenon works in the same way as the misconception that "planes are constantly falling."

This does not make sense to me. Before someone starts playing in a casino, they have to make a deposit or get a bonus to play. So, if someone makes a deposit and starts playing after that, they know what they are dealing with. I don't think they cannot understand that it is gambling. However, they are curious about those games because they see big wins on social media or random apps.

The casinos advertise their business everywhere. They promote their business on social media, on sports, on the roadside banner, and everywhere you can think of. This makes them curious to try what are those games and if it is possible to get such big wins.

Even if they know that is a gambling games, they will not think much about that and still deposit some money from the way that they know. Yes, they see the big wins on social media or other apps so that makes them curious. That is normal for teenager that want to know many things including curious with gambling but if they have knowledge about gambling that explain them to be careful, they will consider not to click the link. The curiosity in their ages will be high as they want to explore many things that they don't know before. So without a proper guidance from their parents, they can gets in a wrong way that can harm their life.

That is right because social media are the place for gambling advertisement besides the other advertisement. Maybe they don't think about gambling and only interest with the games without realize that is one of the gambling games. So they will start to play the games and becomes more often when they lose.

everything you said is true, but there are still gamblers who depend on the results of gambling. the point is to keep winning and enjoy the results of their gambling.

especially for those whose orientation is to get a win, not making them happy, most of them because of their ego make them even more miserable with their defeat. and worse, when they experience defeat, they don't want to accept it and return to playing with passion and hope that at least their lost money will be returned.

I think those who have lost and cannot accept the defeat and then return to play are not playing with enthusiasm, but playing with emotions that are no longer under control because when they from the beginning could not accept the defeat or the loss of money that occurred, it was enough to prove that their emotions could not be controlled. I admit that sometimes controlling emotions is quite difficult, but over time with the training that was applied, it made it easy for me to control it, I even felt like I didn't lose money when I lost in gambling.

It is not a strange case if there are players who prioritize their egos and that makes them miserable, it is like something that cannot be avoided or even happens a lot. Apart from that, teenagers who currently cannot be far from gadgets, the internet and social media must be familiar with online gambling, I am sure of this.

As someone who lives in a low middle income country, I'd say that low income earners are the most vulnerable. In my estimation, low income earners are the target of gambling advertising and marketing. The specific type of gambling being sports betting. Casinos are not popular here so it's mostly bet shops online and offline that you find low incom

This is true, from my observation also, it's the low income earners and the very poor that are most vulnerable to becoming gambling addicts, they see it as a shortcut to riches. You and I that are knowledge about what responsible gambling is, knows that gambling is not a get rich quick scheme, you win by luck. I don't know the accurate statistics of the category of people that gambles online but offline is definitely the poor from my observation. There are lots of sports bet and lotto shops in many localities in my country and you can observe that it's the ordinary poor people that patronizes these gambling spots.

No doubt op list is accurate and IMO those who are depress either they encountered a problem or some other reason they choose to go all in meanwhile a therapist can help at the moment. I read an article relating to gambling surprising depression can also lead to addiction, at first I found this fact hard to believe not until I witnessed several gamblers gambling because they feel frustrated due to lack of job, money etc. seeing an average citizen gamble regular is normal but not all will lead to addiction basically they’re covered with the idea of making money so when they face lose they intend to quit for awhile, some gamblers might react differently towards lose but taking a break is the best.

Yeah, that could be one of the reasons. I think those who cannot make enough money with their work are the most prone of all because they want to feel the chance to have lots of money even if it's just for a month or two. But gambling doesn't work like that. If you lose, you might deposit repeatedly which could make you lose all your valued money which leads to depression and frustration.
It's not nice to be at that moment and I believe it's going to make things worse as a gambler would try again next time and he will probably be buried in debt as he goes on. It is also possible that it could lead to gambling addiction and it will be difficult to get out of that. Gambling will always call you back as long as we don't move on from what we lost.

All the point stated I totally agree with you. But let’s see from this perspective. Not everyone in that category of people you stated are that vulnerable to become gamble addict.
Most at times it comes with decision and self discipline.
Most people tend to be that vulnerable when it comes to decisions making. The category of people can’t really make a concrete decision about their life.
As much as gambling is considered an escape route from poverty, There are poor people who after making huge wins from gambling use it as a stepping stone to go after their dreams and achieve success. Mean while some make the money and still squander the money in the same gambling. The difference is decision making and having a vision. Once something ends up influencing one’s decision making. Than that person end up a slave to that thing. Be it gambling or any other activity.

I only know that two types of people gamble. One is the rich person, and another is the poor person. A poor person stops gambling when all of his money is gone. But a rich guy gambles to satisfy his ego and hence gets an addiction. Controlling the funds provided for gambling can really help these rich brats to stop gambling.

The same way the poor can gamble until they get broke and don't have any money again to sponsor their gambling life, that's also how the rich can end up with nothing if they don't gamble responsibly.

The poor are not the only ones that gamble for money, and no one is immune to addiction. You gamble without risk management and self-control; the high chance of losing money and yourself to the game is very high.

I think if we talk about gambling then most likely there will be no difference in terms of the impact that can be caused, the point is whoever you are, rich or poor if you gamble with the following methods and approaches also with the wrong mindset then you will end up losing all the money you have, the only difference here is in terms of time, in the sense that poor people will definitely experience a slump first while rich people may need a longer time considering their money is quite a lot and more than poor people.

On the other hand, yes I also agree with you that addiction applies to everyone and to all groups, just as I said above, there are no exceptions in this case which is the point if you gamble in the wrong way such as making money the main priority then addiction and slump are possibilities that you will definitely experience one day.

There's really no exemption into this one on where everyeone would really be having that chance on getting addicted no matter what kind of financial status you would really be having on which there's really that tendency that you will be able addicted into gambling and this is something that oyu do need to look into and wont really be careless into the things you've been dealing into. The only different about into those rich and poor people is that they are really that having those kind of situation where rich people could be able to sustain whereas, these poor people will that messed up their lives in a short period of time because they dont have much money and if ever they do have the money then they will really be trying out to gamble no matter what because they are trying to grasps with those odds or chances.

Vulnerability will really be basing up on whose really that been on the exposure of it, if you are really that not good with self control then you will really be getting curious and end the end
you might be able to test it up and you will really be that addicted if you cant be able to control yourself on playing on it.

It's true that the most addicted people initially had pre-existing mental conditions, if not their common sense should tell them that they cannot win back their losses as they keep on gambling to recover them back. It's a norm that a hard drug addict will gamble, because he will always love to gamble for profit in order to buy more drugs.

Teens are copy cats, they do whatever they see on tv or on social media without knowing the consequences attached to it. Some of them might want to do it for fun, but along the line, they become addicted they don't have anyone to help them.

Gambling influence and other activities that influences one have a pre motivation behind it, just as you rightly said that addictions is a product of underlying mental illness, same also can be viewed with influence, because a thing can only influence someone who is attracted to such thing, so anyone that get influenced by gambling is already pre motivated to gamble and just waiting for the right time to venture into it, so for that we can categorized them among those self determined victims.

Same with Teens in our environments and home, many of them are already motivated by the why they either see they parent or any elderly person gamble and are motivated to do same, before the get influence along the line to start gambling, so they can't say that it just a thing of sudden outcome, but of long term preparation and admirations.

It's true what you said with like buying something fun with the money you have, besides I think those who gamble for fun do not prioritize winning, meaning they are not too obsessed with pursuing victory or wanting to get victory because they do it just for fun or entertainment but people like this in my opinion are rarely found, because surely there are many people who want victory or in other words prioritize victory in every gamble they do.

Isn't possible that people who gambles for fun could also in the adventures of seeking to get fun and entertained self with gambling can likely get addicted to it? Because a lot of times we all talk about the money chasing aspect causing gambling addiction which I agree with but I was able to have a further thought about how gambling for fun can be harmful in same way as gambling for the sake of the money if there's no checks and self-control on the part of the gambler irrespective of what he gambles for.

We can’t stop the addiction of others, but yes, if it’s about ourselves, then we need to always try hard to find the solution. I don’t think there are any specific categories who are vulnerable to the world of gambling. I only know that two types of people gamble. One is the rich person, and another is the poor person. A poor person stops gambling when all of his money is gone. But a rich guy gambles to satisfy his ego and hence gets an addiction. Controlling the funds provided for gambling can really help these rich brats to stop gambling.

Both players will stop when their money is exhausted or take loan. The indebted players are the most vulnerable gamblers, many of them develop depression. And find it hard to pay back the loan shark. However, gaming compulsion has no favorite, it could get to the rich, and milk all their wealth. Between, how would casinos regulate player's money? It'll be same as shooting themselves on the foot.

From all indications, I think the low-income earners are more vulnerable to gambling addiction because that is their hope of profit making if they win a game. They put all their efforts and resources hoping to win games and they keep repeating it often and often without really taking their time to have thought over their gambling lifestyle. I am talking this as a result of my observation on gamblers from my locality. They are constantly at the betting shop playing games back to back and are never serious in life, they look disorganized and poorly coordinated.

It is true that these days teenagers are beginning to get gambling and at their age it could be very dangerous to do because they would not be able to control themselves when addiction sets in because of the win and chasing to recover loss. These are the major things that makes addiction sets in and when this happens, it would be very difficult for them to take a u turn because it is already part of them.

This set of people are most likely to get addicted to gambling more. Even the economy of some countries will make the low income earners look for an alternative to their source of income and with the competitive state of things, it makes them looks for the most easiest way and less stressful way to make money and they result in gambling. Gambling can make you rich if it favours you some time and make you lose big when it’s not in your favour. It has an high risk tendency for low income earners engaging in it than it does for already rich folks.

Quote

Another demographic that is more likely to get addicted to gambling are adolescents. Adolescents are aged 12-18. The rise of online casinos made way to more kids getting access into gambling. It is said that male adolescents are the ones most recorded to have ended up addicted in gambling. Their addiction is usually associated with sports and mobile games betting.

The peer group pressure have also contributed to this. When kids are growing up and find their mates living a more comfortable and luxurious life, social media folks in their age group also flaunting money and impressing their girlfriends, they tend to want to do the same. Meanwhile, not all that glitters is gold and they end up trying to copy that lifestyle and since they have no means and the IQ to get some knowledge themselves that’ll be productive, they settle for the less stress and yet more risky way to make money.
