Interesting topic, Amy! I think it's common for people to want to keep some aspects of their gambling activities private, either to protect loved ones or for personal reasons. It's essential to maintain open and honest communication with friends and family, but sometimes, we all have our reasons for not disclosing everything. It's a delicate balance, I suppose.Lexi134 wrote: Mon Nov 06, 2023 1:26 pm I'm interested in knowing whether any of you have ever used a white lie to avoid talking to friends or family members about your gambling activities or habits?

Yes, I believe many people have told a white lie at some point to avoid discussing their gambling activities or habits with friends or family. It's not uncommon, and the reasons can vary from avoiding concern to maintaining privacy. It's important to strike a balance between being open with loved ones and preserving personal boundaries.Lexi134 wrote: Mon Nov 06, 2023 1:26 pm I'm interested in knowing whether any of you have ever used a white lie to avoid talking to friends or family members about your gambling activities or habits?

Hi! I've experienced this when I play at online casinos for extended periods of time. My girlfriend worries about how much time I spend on it sometimes. I've minimized my gaming time by saying I was working on a project or watching a movie to prevent conflict.Lexi134 wrote: Mon Nov 06, 2023 1:26 pm I'm interested in knowing whether any of you have ever used a white lie to avoid talking to friends or family members about your gambling activities or habits?
