I will allow it as soon as he can make money on his own. To me, if he hasn't been able to make money, he hasn't been able to fully appreciate the value of money.

I see your point, but it can be a slippery slope. Even responsible players can sometimes lose control.

Hello friends, would you allow a family member to play the casino? Your wife or husband, son or daughter? Etc, maybe they could develop an addiction and lose a lot of money in the casino.

I try my best not to lead anyone into addiction, because if they later become a gambling addict and go bankrupt, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life. I believe gambling is a personal choice, since everyone is free to decide what to do with their life.

I would let a family member gamble as long as they do it responsibly, set a budget, and understand that gambling is for entertainment, not a way to make money.

Taking all the pros and cons into account, I would be against any member of my family spending their time on gambling.

I think it depends on the person and their ability to manage money responsibly. I wouldn’t encourage a family member to gamble, but if they’re an adult, I’d want them to understand the risks, set strict limits, and never gamble with money they need for essentials.
