If someone wanders around like a vagabond without working, then at the end of the day, there will definitely be pressure on them because who will pay for the expenses of running a family if they wander around without working.
Gambling plays a significant role in creating poverty in people, but if you live a more lazy life, it will not take long for you to become poor. There are many people around us who support their families with loans but live a lazy life without working, and they end up living in extreme misery at the end of their lives.
I have the same opinion about gambling, alcohol and porn. To a certain extent, these help people to relax. But some people don't know where to put the full stop, and such people get ruined as a result of gambling. For me, gambling is just a way to relax. When I visit any casinos with my friends or relatives, I know how much I should gamble and for how much time I should stay there. But some people get carried away, and gamble more than they could afford to lose. We should rather blame the behavior of such people rather than carpet blaming gambling as an industry.
If you treat it that way then you'll get the benefits as you can take some relaxing day when you play the game, as long as you have that capabilities to keep it that way then nothing can harm you on both your finances and your relationship with your love ones, unlike with unable to control your emotion, it can ruined you and it also affects the life of those people who care for you.
Most of those who made a big mistake thinking that gambling is a quick way to make money, those are the one who mostly prone losing a lot, to the point that they lose their savings in a short period of time.
You need to have that distinction between entertainment and aiming to earn money as you may lose a lot once you suffer from loses that you can't afford to let go.
