GAMBLING HAZARDS: A SIMPLE GUIDE

Gaming has become an increasingly popular pastime in recent years, with more and
more people taking advantage of the various online casinos available. The
gambling experience in online casinos provides a generous display of a variety
of games to play with.

There are various casino sites and casino games everywhere on the internet
today. These casino games come with a winning advantage in the form of casino
bonuses, slot games, free spins, and promotions.




It’s true that online gambling can be both entertaining and profitable; however,
it also carries the risk of becoming an addiction if it's used excessively or
when one feels powerless over one's gambling habits.

So, continue reading as we will explore some of the potential gaming hazards and
provide tips on how to avoid them.

WHAT ARE GAMBLING HAZARDS?

Gambling, according to Oxford Dictionary, is the intentional risking and
possible gain of money or other valuables on the outcome of a game, contest, or
other event whose outcome can be affected by random chance or accident, or by
the bettor's own faulty estimation. The term 'gambling hazard’ can be defined as
anything negative arising from or is caused by gambling.

Gambling becomes a hazard when gamblers who are enrolled in an online casino get
too involved in winnings and the game becomes disruptive or damaging to them.

Some gamblers may get addicted because their brains release dopamine (the
feel-good hormone) whenever they win. This is according to the Mental Health
Society of the United Kingdom.

TYPES OF GAMBLING HAZARDS

When most people think of the potential dangers of gambling, they picture a loss
of money or other financial hardship. Contrary to this belief, individuals that
gamble may also be exposed to other forms of damage. You can believe you learnt
from poker like Maria Konnikova did, but the reality will be far more gruesome.

Those who have more disposable income to gamble with or who gamble frequently,
as well as those with additional risk factors, are more likely to have negative
consequences.

DISTRESSING EMOTIONS AND THOUGHTS

Feelings of remorse, sadness, and solitude might arise in this type of gambling
problem. A survey conducted in 2017 on selected Canadian Casinos showed that 70
percent of the Canadian Players who had a losing streak that week were having
suicidal thoughts and distorted cognition due to psychological distress caused
by straight losses.

You find yourself chasing bets over and over again, which can cause you to run
through your funds and get into debt. Also, in order to maintain your addiction,
you try to disguise your conduct or even resort to dishonesty or theft.

HEALTH HAZARDS

Most times, gambling causes an increase in alcohol consumption. In most cases,
the affected player neglects self care and begins to derail health wise. It can
also lead to substance and drug abuse.

FINANCIAL LOSS

One hazard that is common in the gambling experience is the risk of great
financial loss. Most gamblers do not control their spendings while playing,
which can lead to overstretching of bankroll or being overly generous on the
online slot.

CAUSES OF GAMBLING HAZARDS

While it can be enjoyable and exciting in moderation, gambling can become
addictive and lead to financial, social, and personal losses for those who
overindulge. Take a look at some of the most common causes of gambling hazards:

 * Mental health issues. Many people who have issues with compulsive gambling
   also struggle with drug abuse, personality disorders, depression, or anxiety.
   Disorders including bipolar, OCD, and ADD/ADHD have been linked to compulsive
   gambling (ADHD).
 * Personality. One's susceptibility to developing a gambling addiction may rise
   if they are very competitive, workaholic, impulsive, restless, or quickly
   bored.
 * Peer and family Influence. The likelihood of you developing a gambling issue
   increases if you are exposed to problem gamblers in your social circle.

SYMPTOMS OF GAMBLING HAZARDS

Gambling hazards can have far-reaching implications for an individual’s mental
and physical health, as well as their relationships and finances. Common signs
of a gambling problem include, for starters, having one's mind always on
gambling, such as by continually planning gambling activities and thinking about
how to obtain more money for gambling. Also, it’s the requirement to gamble with
ever-increasing sums of money in order to experience the same level of
excitement, and making unsuccessful efforts to exercise self-control, cut back,
or give up gambling.

Another example is the use of gambling as a means of evading difficulties or
relieving other negative emotions, such as helplessness, guilt, worry, or
despair, and attempting to get back money that was lost by more gaming (chasing
losses). A gambling addicts is also constantly fibbing about your gambling
habits, even to loved ones, putting their relationships, career, or educational
prospects at risk in order to gamble, and gambling away money and then asking
other people to help them out.

EFFECTS OF GAMBLING HAZARDS

Because gambling may lead to feelings of sadness and anxiety, as well as
tendencies toward engaging in self-injurious behavior, there are a few physical
symptoms that should be kept an eye out for.

First of all, it’s a lack of sleep that can be one of the physical
manifestations of mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety,
sallow complexion, fluctuating weight, acne, and dark bags under the eyes, and
poor general health and development;

Next, it’s issues with interpersonal connections, problems with finances,
especially the possibility of bankruptcy, and even legal issues or jail. A
person can experience inadequate performance in work or the loss of one's job,
or, at it’s worse, suicide, suicide attempts or suicidal thoughts.



While igaming can have its advantages, especially concerning Canadian economy,
its disadvantages are those you should be vary about.
