This is how serious gambling has become in the Philippines. I’m not against gambling in general, but if it’s making people struggle even more, then I don’t think it’s a good thing anymore. It’s already become very rampant, and that’s mostly because of the popular app GCash, which has made it so easy to access online casinos.
Gambling is not the problem; poverty and the economic crisis are the reasons why people turn to gambling. The worst part is that people often approach it with ignorance, thinking it is the fastest way to make money. People should be held accountable for how they go about gambling, as there is always awareness for gamblers to gamble responsibly online. However, some gamblers don't take the time to read all the instructions on the gambling site.
Exactly, gambling itself is not the problem, but rather it is the gamblers that is making it to look challenging for us. because had it been we approach it wisely, such thing won't have happened. Is pretty obvious that many countries are facing a economic crisis, but even as that we are supposed to understand that gambling alone would never in any way solve the whole problem. That is why is always essential to gamble responsibly because gambling is not a get rich quick scheme.
A casino is never the fault of a gambler for a large loss, it is entirely the fault of the gambler, because no one forced the gambler to gamble, he gambled of his own free will and lost money, and he can never blame anyone else for it. Gambling should be done with discretion and self-control, gambling involves a lot of risk, so if your self-control is a little weak, it can easily take a terrible form, which will make you addicted and put you in deep harm.
Yes, because as long as gambling is concerned a casino would never in any way force someone to play gambling. It is your own right to decide whether you are going to gamble responsibly or not since each and everyone us here have different target in gambling. However, I think the best way for a gambler to always have a self control and prevent often losses in gambling is by betting with only a small amount that you can afford to lose easily.
