I will answer first.
I will love to quit gambling when I am 42yrs because I don't want to give gambling much time and I will prefer to look for an alternative means to have fun.

My first question to you is, How old are you? How sure are you that, at the age of 42, you will stop gambling? Why do you stop gambling? Apart from the things I have already asked you, let's assume that you can do that, and that is what you know about yourself. You can do it; why don't you start now? Why wait until you're 42 years old when you can quit anytime you want?

Maybe later, at the age of 42, we can't say that you suddenly had an addiction to gambling. Do you think you can just stop gambling if you become an addict? These are just some of my questions.

Gambling is a lifelong habit and the only time one will be advised to stay off gambling is only when it becomes obvious that the individual can no longer contain their individual gambling accesses and at that level is no longer gambling per se but it now a case of addictions which have mostly affected those who placed too much high hopes and gambling for survival instead of gambling for the fun of it.
Agree. Whether we like it or not, gambling is like a habit. If gambling becomes our habit, it will last a long time. We may keep the gambling habit until the old age. Moreover, when someone gambles daily, it can't be separated from his life. So, I'm not surprised if there are many people to be addicts. It is because they no longer can be separated from gambling whatever the situation.

But at old age, I will probably be looking for fun so at that time I can easily spend some time gambling since I am already retired from active hustling like what I have now.
When we already retired from our job, we will have many spare time. That means we will have more time to gamble, right? Instead of stopping gambling in the old age, we probably gamble excessively in the old age. Does it what you try to tell us?  Undecided

I can’t really predict the future but all I can say is that if I still have passion for my favorite games when I get old and I still can access my internet to make my betting online without any issue or if I can work down the betting shop without feeling any pains due to stress or bond weaken base old age, then I think I can still place a bet.

The only thing is that I will have to change my pattern of betting, that’s if bet regularly before now that I’m old I will have to make few selections and not all games that I will have to gamble on, I can even change from the regular gambling to pool betting which is what most advance men in my local do now are days.

As I said in the previous post, if we cannot be sure what we will do in the future. in this context, gambling until old age. even though in reality, I am no longer young. however, because we are not yet 60+ and over. So, I can't be sure whether in old age we will still like gambling. or, prefer to have fun with children and grandchildren.

Just as you said, we cannot predict the future. However, it is possible that this could still be our activity in old age. After all, we don't know what the future will bring. however, when we are old or in the next decade or two. There will be many changes occurring in the world of gambling or casinos. whether we can continue to follow it or not, because we can be sure that there will be a variety of new features provided by the casino platform. or, we will be left behind by the younger generation after us. Maybe also, sports betting could be an option while watching to fill your free time. but what is certain is that the fact is that we are still involved in gambling to this day. and I think it's more ideal to discuss what's happening now rather than something we don't know about in the future.

I am not that old but I want to believe that there are different types of gambling across all age groups and economic status. Any one who is poor and old may be gambling to get extra source of income. While anyone who is rich and gambling may do it because they are bored and need company. These one go to the physical casino. When I am old, I may gamble but it will not be as frequently as I do it now. I feel gambling will become boring. When I am old will be spending time with the grandkids or teaching life skills to the younger generations.

My question is this, will you continue to gamble till old age, or you have planned to stop gambling at a certain age?

I'm unsure whether my answer will remain the same as I age, but I want to quit gambling before I turn 60. I understand that there might be a lot of free time during retirement, which could lead me to consider gambling again. I'm interested in finding out about other enjoyable activities since I'm unsure whether I'll still be able to visit the casino and gamble at that age or have the funds to do so.

Why would you select age 60?  I'm just curious.  I would say that if you aren't sure if you'll have the funds available at age 60, then maybe gambling right now is not quite such a good idea.  60 isn't really all that old either.  I understand peoples cognitive decline starts to kick in around that age, but most people in their 60's are just as sharp as they were in their 50's or perhaps even 40's.

It's only natural for most of us to respond with a "No" when asked if we'll gamble into our old age. We'll all experience death at an unpredictable time, and it's essential to realize that there are numerous enjoyable pursuits in this world besides gambling. It would be a significant loss to spend a significant portion of our lives solely on gambling. It reminds me of the movie "The Bucket List," which compiles all the things one wishes to do before departing this world.

So, I intend to quit gambling when I have children with my wife. I want to prioritize caring for my children as a more valuable pursuit than gambling. It's all about family for me, as home, in its truest sense, is where my family resides.

Believe it or not, even though many people stop gambling, buying lottery tickets here and there becomes a habit for those over 50. So, perhaps, I won't be able to leave the lottery behind in the future.
Do not want to be involved in gambling until old, I say NO because life must be enjoyed in other ways maybe when we have started entering old age above 45 years then I myself do not want to get involved and there are more fun things with family especially when someday have grandchildren.

Actually, many families in my area are damaged because of gambling, a husband cannot control his addiction when the economy is difficult, my mind does not want to happen like that, however, family is an important thing that must be enjoyed in old age, so I have intended to stop gambling later.

Actually I don't like togel, but I know that there are still many old age people who still want to buy togel tickets to expect Jackpot, here I am not so interested.

The main purpose of gambling is for fun and I don't have the plans of gambling till old age because no matter on consistent we are in gambling whether addicted or not, it is going to get to a point where we will no longer have the passion to continue gambling again since there is always a time for retirement and we don't have to joke with that. Gambling is nit a job where we will keep doing till we get old. There is limit we are going to get to that we will not long have the interest to bet like we used to do now. Gambling can be very interesting to those that do have consistent winnings.

This means that you have not used gambling as a medium to have fun, but have considered gambling as a way to double your money!

Gambling has become an activity that I can't give up, especially placing lotteries, football bets and sometimes slots, I like it, my adrenaline is pumped and I don't feel disadvantaged by it, if you consider gambling to be a medium of entertainment then you will Be a responsible gambler and have no reason to stop gambling.

I was in the garden this evening and I was think on my bet that I placed on this evening game, then something came into my head like...are you going to gamble even when you are old, or you will quit gambling at a certain age.
This is not something that is actually important because people can stop whenever they want or when they feel they no longer find interest in gambling and usually that will happen when they are busy enough that they no longer have time to think about gambling. In my opinion, people who are old and still gambling will usually change it no longer to gambling which takes time but only gambling in the lottery because this only requires buying a ticket, whereas gambling such as casino games will tend to be more liked by young gamblers, you can see older people don't play video games or gambling, in my opinion, it is no longer an activity that will be done except card games, but just for fun with friends because it was done together.
I suppose this depends on the culture of each country, because at the US you can find a lot of elderly people gambling at slots, I am not so sure why that is the case as I am not that old and I do not even like slots, my particular preference for gambling games are the ones in which your skill can affect the outcome somewhat, and we also need to take into account that as time goes by older generations are replaced with newer generations getting old, and right now the young enjoy to gamble and play video games and it would not surprise me if this will continue to be the case once they get old.

When am old enough I don't think gambling should be more of concerned to me than playing games, all i needed is to have a companion that could always get me busy when am left being alone, the children and grandchildren can come around and we can all have fun playing together.

It wouldn't sound well when they discover that their grandfather is a gambler, also, it is very important to know that the little money one will have at old age should be on personal welfare and in taking care of oneself than using the money for gambling.

are you going to gamble even when you are old, or you will quit gambling at a certain age.


Gambling, to me is even below fun as I don't indulge much, before I logged in two weeks ago, its been more than a year or two since I went there.

I don't think I will consider looking at an exact time to quit it, I like the way i get in it myself. I don't even remember I was in it after I've logged out.
Its a thing I consciously developed in other not to get lost in it, my friends that does gamble because AI gives him an advantage, i've stressed the need for him not to be distracted as its one of the things gambling can attract and at that point it has become and addiction.

So, in my opinion, it all boils down to ease of access and affordability for someone who gets old for them to continue gambling or leave it. If they have been an addict and gambling has caused issues for them in their life, they would most probably not continue it for long if they can leave the addiction.
The internet which provides speed of access and ease of online gambling will certainly make it easier for people to gamble, especially for those who are old, but I don't guarantee that they will continue to gamble until they are old because I have an uncle who has been gambling since he was young, then when he was old he started There was no passion for gambling anymore so he really stopped completely and instead focused more on enjoying old age with his children and grandchildren.

I think that there will be no gambling addicts that we see who can survive until old age because basically addicts' lives will always end in a matter of time when their money runs out and they are abandoned by many people close to them so that most addicts always end their lives in loneliness and solitude and even die horribly. Most addicts cannot continue gambling for a long time, most older people who are gamblers usually only think of gambling all their life as entertainment so for entertainment they may still play with their friends until they are old. I personally probably won't gamble until I'm old.

That's probably the thing for most people. If someone gambles for fun, they should have no problems continuing their gambling even at an older age as long as they get to access a casino platform without facing any difficulties and if they have enough money to spend on their gambling activities at that age if someone has all those facilities, they would probably love to continue their gambling activities since they have always enjoyed the thrill of gambling.

What old age are you talking about if you continue to gamble? I asked this because, in the time we have now, most of the 50-year-olds have had feelings about their bodies or health.

Do you think that if an old person has feelings, they will still think about gambling? It seems that the former is not realistic if, for example, at the age of 60 and above, there are still many people who gamble. Is there anything else during this time? I don't want that to happen to me, and I don't plan to do that even as I get older. Although I know that the world of gambling has no age limit,
The games you play could change as you get older, for example at the US is very common for the elderly to play bingo, and not only bingo brings them some enjoyment, it is also good for them, as it promotes short term memory retention and it allows others to see how good their hearing is and how fast they react to a stimulus, then it is not surprising that the elderly not only play that game on their own but this is something you can find even on the nursing homes at which they live.

I guess i will be gambling. I am quite old already so i don't know why would i stop now. My father stopped gambling after he knew he had only few weeks life left.

Gambling isn't something that should be done by aged people as the effects might be too risky for their health.
Older people are always advised not get involved in things that'll stress them mentally because of their age and gambling is one of the things that can seriously l stress somebody mentally and that's why I don't think it's wise to play gamble at old age.
I disagree with this. I am not playing because i get stress from it. I have a budget and i keep it fun.
And if i would avoid excitement just because i would have few more years, would i really be really living?

If i want a quiet life when i am old, than it's ok for me not to get excited for anything too radical, but that's only if it's my choice. I don't want to be so old that requires me not to get excited about surprises that my life gives to me. Those includes winnings.
