By my understanding gambling is fun and a source of entertainment, but there are other negativities attached to gambling,which are, financial issues among the families of a gambler an addiction towards gambling.
No matter the fun and the entertainment gambling bring to the society, for me the negative impact of gambling in the society is more than the positive impact it brings to the society.
Ways to mitigate the spread of gambling in the society:
*Managing your time - preventing problem gambling, is to manage your time very well and enjoy sport without gambling by taking a break. According to Canadian lower risk gambling guidelines recommendation, reduce your gambling to know more than four days a month can significantly reduce your risk.
*Managing your finance - preventing problem gambling is to manage your finance effectively and safeguarde it. Order procedures to manage your money: set limit, keep record, don't borrowing, and stay as planned. That's my opinion.

Alright mate, I agree with y ou saying that gambling today in our society has more negative impact that positive impact on lives, but one thing I want to add to it is gambling is a thing of choice, and pleasure also, there are some people who have fixed savings already, and instead of using there spare money for drinking, smoking and clubbing etc.. for their leisure time they use this money to gamble, knowing 100% that it is based on luck so they only gamble with money they know they can afford to loose at the moment, something they win and most times they loose, its all for the fun.
So I think gambling is by choice, and also everyone who likes gambling should gamble wisely...

I think the OP makes it too complicated, apart from the fact that I don't quite understand what 'spread' means in this context. Most of us responsible gamblers, gamble from time to time, with money we can afford and have no problem with it. I would even say that every type of responsible gambler has had some session or some day where they got out of hand and ended up losing more than they expected but that then didn't affect their life and they continued to gamble only once in a while with money they can afford to play with.

I agree that managing your time and money are two of the most important things to remember when you're playing you have to monitor the money you're allocating and the time you're giving in gambling because addiction to gambling starts when you are adding minutes or dollars you spend on gambling.
Addiction is a slow process you will not even realize that you are now addicted to gambling because the amount of time and money you spend in gambling is ignorable until you realize that you have added a lot of time and money that you find it hard to get out.

I believe the key lies in finding a balance between the enjoyment gambling can offer and recognizing its potential downsides.
It's about making informed decisions, where careful management of your time and finances plays a crucial role. At the same time, recognition of gambling as a choice and a form of entertainment for those who can afford it without harmful consequences is vital. Blending responsibility with the freedom to enjoy it as a leisure activity.
This balance between caution and enjoyment is key.

I'm just confuse with your title though.
I don't think there will be ways to mitigate your gambling activity, it means you either win or lose.
But if you have the feeling of losing, and it could affect you mentally that just quit simply as that. As gamblers, there is no way that you will manage your finance. You will always fell for gambling no matter what, in my opinion.

Obviously, when you weigh both the positives and negatives of gambling, the negatives outweigh the positives. This accounts for the rise of gambling related problems in the society. I remember sociting to a betting shop manager on behalf of a gambler who spent all his funds in virtual sports betting and was left with nothing including transportation. When he approached me for financial favour I couldn't help out so I went straight to the betting shop manager to solicit that he should give the guy money for transportation and his phone pending when he returns the money.
Frankly speaking, managing time and finances as you mentioned will go a long way in mitigating some of the common gambling problems faced by gamblers. When a limited time is spent on a gambling session, the loss will be minimal compared to when a gambler spends so much time. Also, our finances should be such that we don't utilize more than necessary for gambling.

how to manage time and money there are important points in life, if we take the wrong steps and choose decisions everything will fall apart, especially if all our time and money is spent on the gambling table, it's really a shame, right, the context in which we started gambling was just to have fun Not for money seekers, if everything is under control, there's nothing wrong with us still being able to gamble

Agree, time and money management is an important factor in life, we can't just leave it as it is because it might make everything fall apart. If it's messy, then it will make it difficult for us to fix it again.
Now if it involves gambling, then we have to have more money to allocate it for gambling and here is where the problem will arise when we can't manage our time very well, yes we might get caught in financial problems.

Yeah, it's either OP posting something he doesn't understand or he's confused what he really wants to say. Either way, he's spouting nonsense and this post reminds me why he was on my ignore list.
Managing time or finances limits possible losses but that still doesn't mitigate the spread of gambling.

The choice of words is a dead giveaway that OP is not a gambler.
Every single gambler would have thought of point spread or at least handicap and not about the spreading of gambling as the growth of the industry!
Anyhow, it's just a bunch of phrases with no substance, there is nothing even to start a discussion from.

It is good as a gambler, that you have a weekly or monthly budget for your gambling g activities, which can be 5% of your income. And also set a time limit for your gambling activities so that when the time elapses, you stop gambling no matter the outcome of the game. This will enable you to reduce your losses and gamble responsible. See gambling as a means of entertainment and not for profit, so that you don't have to face the consequences of gambling.

I believe that you are trying to suggest ways to prevent gambling addiction, but your choice of words and use of sentences in expressing yourself has made your point more difficult to understand @OP.
Managing your time and managing your resources is a part of the discipline required to prevent addiction, but it is not all. There are also some required other little things like avoiding people who are neck deep into gambling and do not see addiction as a problem. If you keep interacting with people who do not see addiction as a problem, you will in no time start thinking like them and not see addiction as a problem and something to avoid.

In fact, gambling should always be for entertainment and never as a means of making money. Those who have adopted this gambling as a means of earning money have suffered severely. Gambling is not acceptable in my society, not only in my society but also in my country, this gambling is not legal. Gambling in my country produces more ethical results than positive results. However, if gambling is used purely for entertainment while keeping oneself under control, it will not have much of a moral impact. However, being an online gambling system, it does not create much of a stir among people. In my opinion a fixed budget of income is best used for gambling and should never be used for gambling outside of a fixed budget of income.

Sometimes, the gambling talk gets tangled up in jargon like ‘spread,’ and it can feel a bit much. But at the core, I agree with your point.
It’s all about playing within our means, isn’t it? Most of us are here for the thrill, the fun, and the chance to win, but always with that golden rule in mind, only bet what you can afford to lose.

The gambling industry has been growing exponentially for the past many years and it is online type of gambling that can be making big record of revenues and I am sure this can be true in all countries where gambling is regulated and allowed by the government to flourish. Gambling is one of the biggest sources of tax and that is why even if the government can foresee the many ill-effects of gambling they still allow them to operate. Just like other bad vices like smoking, overeating, drinking alcohol, there are many people who are addicted to gambling even allowing themselves to be destroyed in the process. One thing for sure is that the government has the big responsibility to control the spread of gambling but it is, of course, a big failure on this aspect as it is the receiving end of money coming from the gambling industry. Now, the best way to mitigate and control gambling falls on the family where education should start. The problem is that we have many failed families in the society that left many young people get swallowed by destructive vices. I am not sure if our education system is playing a big role in educating their students on the many side effects of gambling or they are just turning a blind eye to this issue. In summary, all of these situations can mean one thing: gambling is a good business to get into as more and more people are falling prey to its trap.

No gambling platform ever recommends accepting gambling as a source of income. But man's excessive greed makes him move from that normal state to a different level. Makes him dreamy and at one point becomes addicted. Gambling is always suggested to be controlled. There it is said to spend such money whose loss will not create any problem in his personal or family life. But when gamblers engage in gambling especially those who are addicted they spend their own money and late they try to borrow or use family needs money on gambling. And this is how they bring about their own disaster.

That is in fact the main purpose of gambling, and until a gambler learns to view gambling as a means to have fun while also having the chance to make money, then he'll always end his gambling sessions in loss and regret.
A gambler's priority and main focus when gambling should first be to have fun while doing it, and then the monetary rewards can come afterwards, but prioritizing the monetary rewards could make one to lose focus while chasing the wins and in some cases, the losses and in such case, can easily allow his emotions to get the best of him and help him make decisions.

By repeating words gambling addictions, managing gambling time, planning budget, allowed only from +18, people already create a special negative vision on gambling. By saying 100 time "gambling addiction", people convince other and themselves that addiction problem is so huge. I am not saying that gambling is not addictive, but imho a person must put enough effort himself to become addicted. Moreover, when did anyone of you ever saw gambling addicted person that is in real deep trouble? Despite hearing it from someone or reading somewhere? I think spread and addiction issues are exaggerated. There are much more worse things in the world than giving so much focus on gambling addiction issue.

The title doesn't make any sense at all.
Instead of "Ways to mitigate the spread of gambling in the society", why not just change it to "How to mitigate your losses in gambling?" I mean what's the meaning of "spread" in that?
Excluding the word "spread", I think that what you said was all true. The lower the time you are spending in gambling, the lower your chances of getting addicted are and vice-versa. On the other hand, managing finance or in this case, budgeting is always a good thing to learn. I mean knowing how to budget might lessen your losses in gambling because you will know how much money would be allocated to gambling. Setting the limit and sticking to your plan might be the best option if you're a gambler.
Overall, gambling gives more negative things than positive things to a person, so it would be a better option to just avoid doing it or if you really want to gamble then at least have a budget for it, and stick to that budget whatever happens.

A gambler can decide on these matters. If the gambler feels that he is regularly losing money by gambling or the results are never coming in his favor then the gambler should stop gambling at that moment. If a gambler continues to gamble without taking a break and is unhappy with his results then I would say he is gambling unnecessarily. A gambler should always take gambling seriously. A gambler is safe in his gambling as long as he can take gambling seriously because it is wrong to consider gambling as a simple game.
