Some gamblers keep their gambling activities secrete from people they have close relationship with. Having it in mind that if these people know they are gamblers,it might bring down their reputation or make them look wasteful. I hide my gambling activities from my Mom the reason is that she hates gamblers and calls them irresponsible people from her own perspective.

Are you such gambler ?
Who are these people you hide your gambling activities from ?
Give a reason why you don't want them to know you are a gambler.

everyone around me! the reason is that I don't want them to think I'm a criminal. in my country gambling is classified as a crime (this has been a social law here for a long time) so everyone who gambles must do it in secret

As long as I'm still connected to the internet, I can gamble anywhere, anytime, without anyone knowing, I don't even allow my girlfriend to see the smartphone that I usually use

I think this information should be hidden from everyone (except probably the family so that in case of problems with addiction they can help you) and especially from the tax office, hahaha. Unless I'm a blogger, streamer, or someone like that who makes money by talking about himself to everyone, then there is no reason for anyone to know about your hobbies (especially such controversial ones). Many people have different prejudices about gambling and I don't want these prejudices to be transferred on me.

The social stigma for a gambler will definitely give rise to many pros and cons. Especially if living in a country or environment that is not friendly to gamblers is one of the factors why gamblers may not reveal to people that they are gamblers.
Family are the people closest to us who maybe they will know about what we do even though we don't tell them. I just want to say that when we become gamblers, don't forget about our obligations to our families, in this case finances. Don't let it be because we gamble that we ignore it because we get too emotional when playing gambling and allocating money that should be for our family instead we use it to play because our ambitions are out of control.

My family is aware of the fact that I occasionally gamble, and I also tell my close friends of my gambling habits. They need to know what I'm doing in case something were to happen to me, thus I believe this is the right thing to do. I think it is unnecessary for my colleagues and friends that not too close to know that I am into gamble. I also don't want my colleagues to have a negative impression of my habits because some people think that gambling is bad and I don't want to argue with them, it's a waste of time and effort.

I hide my gambling life style from my family because my family don't believe in gamble, if it should be known to them I'll be criticised so it is better I just make it as secrete to myself. Despite gambling is all about lose and gain, I have made big gains from it. I prefer to keep it private so that nobody's complain will make me feel bad.

Some people may argue that it is better to be as honest as possible with your friends and family members but this is not true, there are many people that have outdated worldviews and that think very negatively about gambling, even if you just spend a few dollars in the activity, so why bother explaining to them what you are doing and then having a huge fight with them, when you can just keep quiet about your gambling and they are never going to find out about it.

They have a chance of different perspectives people seeing gamblers has tons of money because they can play a lot of games and some how people seeing them as desperate to earn money if your family knows that you are playing gambling still ideal to share to them because sometimes there's a not good profitable day and of course, it is really affecting your emotions while they are around and they know what might happen to you and still you can open to your family, but if they ignore that activity still you are the one responsible handling those risk management in playing gambling. Playing gambling not always giving a good time but also a hard time so quite better make your self ready for circumstances.

I don't think there's anything to hide from anyone as long as our gambling activities don't harm others and are within normal limits. [...]

Money is not the only reason for hiding it. There are many other reasons as well.

Quote from: BRINIRHA on November 13, 2022, 09:38:14 AM

But in some countries people who gamble are still considered bad. [..]

in a Muslim country, it is considered a sin. This is the reason why people living in these countries do not want to reveal themselves as a gambler.

yes, you are right that many factors are reasons for someone to hide their gambling activities. whether it's because it obeys the rules of the country that prohibit it. or because it is in a Muslim area which strictly prohibits gambling. and of course when we are open to gambling then our reputation can be bad. Environmental factors are indeed the determining factor. maybe my environment is only filled with people who are indifferent to one another. so that we are busy with our own affairs and do not really care about our neighbors.

And hopefully, you can really keep it to yourself because, in my opinion, as tightly as we keep a secret, it will be known by the people closest to us. So be careful when gambling and you should gamble when you are alone and always control yourself so you don't use a lot of money to avoid too many losses. I think many of us continue to hide our gambling activities from other people because of the notion that we will get criticism, a bad name, or something else so we think it's better if we keep it to ourselves.

Who are these people you hide your gambling activities from ?
Give a reason why you don't want them to know you are a gambler.

It's like with Bitcoin, only a couple of people know that I play poker or that I have Bitcoin.

First because it's frowned upon, and I'm not going to bother to take away the bad reputation, and second because they are activities that involve money. If I were to tell people that I have Bitcoin, maybe word would spread among criminals and I could face a $5 wrench attack, even though I am not a multi-millionaire. Same thing with poker, if word gets out that I am a winning poker player, maybe word gets out and some crooks interpret that I make as much money as Negreanu, with all the danger that entails.

Since it has more potential disadvantages than advantages, I don't say so.

I don't hide my gambling activity but I'm not that kind of always showing it off either. I will just do it my usual way.

If ever someone knows I do gamble, I really don't care. I will mine my own business.

If they approach me and ask me about gambling-related concerns, I am even willing to give them a good response.

Good for you then.

Being able to not give a damn about other people's opinion and perspective of you will really make a huge difference. Knowing that you are just minding your own business and not really disturbing other people nor stepping their rights is already enough to keep you unbothered of their unsolicited statements. It's just so funny that most people do not know how to mind their own business and to not be involved in someone else's life they aren't included to begin with.

It's also good to know that you are being open about helping them to know more about gambling, if they will ask. Spreading awareness and imparting the knowledge you know to them will definitely help them to be more open-minded and perhaps they might have change of heart in gambling if ever gambling is already in bad light with them.

In my very society it is odd addressing a female as a gambler. It comes with so much stigmatisation and dissociation so for me everyone who cares to associate with me don't have to know i gamble not even my closest friend. Thanks to crypto based casinos and where KYC based casinos has become old fashioned so i can take up any gender or identity and bet as much as i can without anyone getting to know.

better keep that secret because we all know most people are judgmental.. Tongue

if you feel you don't need to disclose your gambling activities, then don't. so long you are taking care of your own business, they don't have reasons to bash or nag you. you will be more at peace with yourself also if you know you don't need to look over your shoulders.

People are nosey all the time. It's best that nothing they know about your gambling. The ones they look at the most are your outside appearance or the things you own. One that I heard from a judgemental friend was that he noticed the 2 worn-out tires I have yet I gambled $25 that day. I get it that he must have been concerned but the way he said it was something to observe.

They will look at you and criticize you. I am sure that every time you pass by your judgemental friend, he will always say, "I am sure he will gamble again; he is very addicted to it. See his physical appearance? He is not taking a bath; that is how addicted he is." I also heard this from a friend (though I am not the one they are referring to because we also have a friend who is very into gambling). They do not think they can hurt people, and that person is not doing anything to them.

There are a million reasons why people will think bad of you, and by the way, the "do the right thing and you'll be thought well" system doesn't work. For example, some people consider people who do not drink alcohol to be secretive and hypocritical Grin

Therefore, as I wrote above, it is best to keep personal personal, but do not get hung up on it too much, because people will still find a reason/occasion to draw absurd conclusions.

I have long ignored people's expectations and assumptions. I know myself better than anyone does. So I don't care if they say bad words about me and my gambling activity. If you live to please everyone then you will never live in peace since we all know that we cannot please everyone. Besides our parents and family will always understand us no matter what happens, so we should not keep our gambling activities secret from them, as long as we are doing fine and do not show any signs of addiction, I believe they will trust us more regarding this matter.

Some people want to hide that they are playing gambling because others perspective is really quite different from them like gamblers are just spending money to seek fun instead using those to other way like getting a daily needs, and also another factor is possibility of asking money to them think that all gamblers already have a huge amount of money.

Also it is ideal for hiding playing gambling for safety, of course; if they find out that you are playing gambling, some people might do bad intentions for you.

My parents also know that I often bet on football but not with my co-workers and college friends because it will damage the reputation I have there. there are some of my college friends who are also my co-workers, if they know I like to play soccer betting then I'm sure they will pass it on to other friends and my boss will definitely know about it, a bad reputation will make me have no career advancement in the company.

You have to make a choice before the boss finds out that you are often involved in gambling, because every time you hide it, he will have a chance to find out from your friend's information, so there are only 2 solutions in my opinion, namely hiding gambling activities from anyone or just betting online without anyone knowing

I socialize less and don't share my things with people - my only true friend is myself and my close family.
That is it. The more we share things with other the more we expose ourselves.
