In my country it is difficult enough to find a psychologist, but there is no serious problem with gamblers. May be we have enough other problems, to take care about gamblers, i don`t know. But I saw just two men who had problems with gambling. I know about the first of them - he lost all his money, divorced his wife, but began new life and(as i know) he is far from any type of casino. About the second I can say nothing - I`ve seen him about 6 years last time.
But i`m sure that it is only gamblers problem and he has to change his brains to understand that something is going wrong. Any kind of self exclude can`t help him.

I understand. There are some countries where some lines of work are scarce, but yet, in the most urban part of the country, I am sure that such service could still be easily found, only that the cost might not be comfortable. This is the main reason that the establishments relating to therapy and psychology are not so much booming in developing and third-world countries.

That said, I like to say that you might not be exposed to some facts of gambling issues compared to others, it all depends on the environment you are in and the kind of circle you keep. I am happy that you could still cite two examples, but I am sure that it will be worse elsewhere in the same country if you inquire about this. In as much as gambling is predominant in that country, you will always see the good, bad and ugly gamblers no matter what, and if you are not connected so well to some localities and personalities, you may never know.

Besides, I am still curious about the first example you gave here, are you saying the guy later got healed and stayed away from gambling or what? And could it be because he divorced his wife? I don't really get the gist, bro.

It is possible that i`m just far away from offline gambling and in online it is difficult enough to get some information about their problems or hobbies. So there are just two men with gambling problems who i know in real life. May be if i`ll become visit offline casinos, i`ll see more such addicts, but i don`t want it.

Oh, yes, prioritizing online gambling over offline gambling will not make you meet many physical people not to mention of knowing what is going on in their gambling life. Even if you did not meet them in person, if such gambling outlets are close to you, you will see some neighbours gambling, and from there you might be able to see for yourself and hear a few about their gambling lifestyle either from them or from people. From there as well, you might get to know what people are facing about gambling, especially those who are not using their common sense to do the right thing and be responsible in gambling.

About the first man. If i can believe him, he stopped only when lost his wife. Before it nothing could stop him. I know that several his friends include me talked with him about his problems with gambling, but it wasn`t interesting for him. And even when he divorced - he understood it later, about several weeks. Only after it he rebooted his life. I told it to show that it is difficult to help someone, who don`t see the problem. He need to get some sign to undestand it.

Oh, I see, the wife was forced to leave him due to his irresponsible gambling life? That is so possible, especially if the guy did not show concern for his family, particularly in the financial aspect of it. And yes, people may be tough to help when they are facing gambling issues, it is not until they are also willing to be helped that it will be easy for them. Can you see this guy, he learned his lesson the hard way, I don't just know why people will be wasting their lives away just to gamble. Why not moderate it?
