Anyone that gambles responsibly doesn't have anything to worry about because he is in control of his actions unlike the gambler that's obsessed and addicted. When it gets to that point where a gambler has to take loans to gamble it's obvious that it has become a dependency issue, sometimes gamblers who do this don't care if they win or lose they only care about satisfying the urge to gamble, it's like a drug to them. Gambling has existed for a long time and it isn't a threat to you unless you let it, responsible gambling is the only solution to this.
Right. But some people suggest others gamble when they need money. If you are active in the lending section, you will see a lot of people taking a loan with the reason "Personal." I assume most of them spend their loans on casinos. We saw a thread on the reputation section a couple of weeks ago. A forum member who regularly took loans to gamble at casinos recently created a thread about it.
He was suffering from a gambling addiction, and now he is unable to pay back the loan on time. A believe there are a lot more similar cases where people gamble and lose their money. They should be responsible and stay away from gambling.
