    The government talks about ‘responsible gaming’ it is like saying ‘responsible crack use’. If you think you have a problem with gambling, you do.

    Definitely agree with Jane here…..there is no such thing as responsible anything when it comes to addictions. Whether it be alcohol, drugs, gambling, eating, whatever…..you can’t be “responsible” about anything related to any of these things.

    I agree on the comment above: there is no responsible gambling for people who have predisposition for gambling addiction. It’s such a type of personality that doesn’t know when to stop. Normally, those people are very good businessmen and adventures. If they are not realized in their jobs, they might find gambling to compensate it.

    The word that I see repeated here is not “responsible” but “pathological”.

    Gambling doesn’t stop because it is a kind of rush of adrenaline. These days, it is easier to find it on internet casinos and researchers might want to target online gambling in future studies!

    I got nothing, absolutely nothing from my gambling. I lost two homes, my job, my savings, retirement funds and my freedom. Gambling took away my very soul. I committed a crime to support my addiction and today I am free from this way of live and have turned my life around.

    you’re right bullbshop! gambling would never make a person rich. Instead, he’s being lured by false psychological effect in winning any gambling games, in fact, that person is the loser!

    gambling is nothing but a disease, and a hard to cure one! I think it is an addiction just like the one of drugs, some times you may win some money but on the other side you loose too much things, not just your money…

    I got nil, extremely not anything from my betting. I lost two homes, my job, my investments, retirement funds and my liberty. Betting took gone my very spirit. I dedicated a crime to support my addiction and today I am free from this way of live and have turned my life approximately.
