Game And Beyond

The title of this short article may be intriguing. To be straightforward, this is about the online game that a friend got addicted to. It started with a simple online game. It was probably fun just seeing the facial expressions of the person. Soon after, the interest was diverted to an online casino. Since I am not a fan of online games, my friend’s interest didn’t bother me at all. One afternoon, in the middle of our pep talk, my friend asked if I want to try poker. The word poker is very familiar. Without having a second thought, I refused. End of conversation. 

Few days after the incident I have noticed my friend spending longer hours on online games. When I had the chance to peek on his mobile phone, I noticed he was playing poker. It was just a simple pleasure but could be dangerous. Why? My friend got addicted to a simple game then upgraded to more complicated one.

This fellow was even reading a blog and review about the poker players in Malaysia. Just recently, I saw him browsing the sites of online casino in Malaysia. If the purpose for playing is just for relaxation and pleasure, then it’s not harmful. But if there’s money involved and the game is making you less productive then something is definitely wrong. 

Ironically, my friend engaged too much in online games after being broke. After being laid off from his work due to the pandemic, he did not have enough patience to look for another job. There are several companies offering homebased jobs to qualified individuals. He was more interested in dating sites and online games.

I even saw him visiting the site of online casino in Malaysia, Macau and Singapore several times. He has been busy reading the reviews of online players. I doubt if those were legitimate sources. Companies may hire people to leave positive feedback on their sites. Let’s be realistic, engaging in any kind of gambling poses risks. One of the risks is losing everything that you earned. Hard-earned money should be invested and spent wisely. And in the casino, you don’t always win. You may be lucky now, but might be unlucky the next time you bet. 

A lot of stories have been told about going to casinos. Even in trying times like now, some people are not only interested in playing but they are still hooked on it. It becomes bothersome if someone’s downfall is caused by his addiction. Worse, it can even result to broken relationships.

There are several ways to be productive. In this modern age, almost everything is provided online. We have different social media platforms that provide various ideas on being productive. But above all, self-discipline is important. We can be bombarded with hundreds of ideas but if we lack self-discipline then everything is useless. Gambling per se is not bad. Both online and land-based gambling help the government in terms of generating revenues. Addiction to it is what makes it bad and harmful.
