Title: Online Gambling: Modern entertainment or highly addictive game?
Post by: UchihaSarada on April 08, 2024, 12:02:00 PM
The proliferation of online gambling in recent years has opened a new era for the gambling industry. According to statistics, there are about 800 companies in the world, with servers in 70 different countries providing more than 4,000 virtual slot machines, 600 virtual casino points, 300 bingo sites, 260 sports betting sites and 240 online poker points. With gambling increasingly legalized in many countries, this can be considered a modern entertainment game.

This is the day the game industry attracts many workers (directly or indirectly) and generates a large amount of revenue. With the legalization of some online gambling, the number of players has also increased significantly. And this is considered a quite popular recreational game in some countries.

When it comes to gambling then each person does have their own preference when it comes to gambling whether they would like on having that online session or they would really be liking on doing physical.
If we do really just that tend to check and look out on how things been done in between set ups then it is really that convenient for you to play up gambling online or in front of you PC or computer but the main
thing that you would really be able to miss out is that talking about socialization with other people and that crowd ambiance on which you cant really be able to see and hear off.

This is why if you are someone who do really enjoys on seeing other faces then going into those physical casinos would really be your choice, but if you are someone whose really that
contented and wants not to go into public places then online ones would be your best choice.

Surely the online aspect of gambling has additionally addictive elements and it has also become increasingly easier to out your money in there. Whereas land based casinos on most places keep requiring stricter regulations. So it seems like the animations and proc effects in a online casinos are made specifically with addictive personality traits in mind because you really see them in games that cater to this type of person most such as low RTP slots etc. No wonder the online industry has been meeting s lot of success. Many players but fewer costs.

With the legalization of some online gambling activities, the number of players has also increased significantly. And this is considered a quite popular entertainment game in some countries.
Indeed, nowadays people tend to do everything they can through digital means, including gambling. Before, they had to go to physical shops to place bets, what is really not advisable at countries where gambling is illegal. But now, through the internet, individuals can gamble even from countries where this practice is forbidden by authorities, without having to expose themselves on the streets at clandestine houses. They can bet comfortably from home at any time of the day. This accessibility helped gambling to become more popular than before.

At same time, the industry also created more jobs' spots, as the demand for the services increased, so people like us have the opportunity to work full time jobs or side hustles by working for casinos. That is a modern phenomeon which has been possible due to internet widespread even in remote areas of the world.

Online gambling has made easy access to gambling platforms from your homes or wherever you are, which can easily increase the zeal of one to gamble often, and that can lead to addiction. Land based casinos which is known as the traditional casinos are strict with whoever is going to gamble in the casino to make show that laws are not violated. But is can not be accessed at anytime but you must plan for it.

I almost got carried away the first time that I started gambling online, because of the varieties of games and I can gamble even on my bed, but I became very cautious of myself when I noticed a strange change in my attitude towards gambling. This was how I could control myself, so what I have to say is that online casino, can make someone get addicted easily compared to land based casinos.

For me it is both of it, gambling would and has always been a form of entertainment for some of us, and making it online is an easy access for us we could gamble anywhere and anytime we want.
And it is true that it is highly addictive game, specially for those who are eager to have an easy money or profit.

I doubt with modern entertainment given that not all people are into gambling activities, in both online and landbased. It just promotes convenience to gamblers who haave no time or personally prefers not, to visit a gambling establishment. Gambling is addictive to those who have huge drive for money and to get rich quickly; the bigger the drive, the longer your exposure, the more you're getting prone to addiction. If gambling is just an activity yielding to negative outcomes, then how come there are still people enjoying their experience despite of loss? It's because there are people who knows what amount are they willing to lose in exchange for entertainment and a little hope for profit. Those who are becoming desperate of short routes to success are the only ones which are contenders for gambling addiction.

Depends on what kind of an individual or a gambler you are. Convenience is there with accessibility but if you have control of your gambling desires then I doubt you'd be in a bad situation in this industry. Even if you gamble a few times in casinos, if you will bet everything you have for a single nigjt, then that's the same with gambling daily even with small amounts. Self discipline is a virtue and that's the thing we should prioritize more than hitting the jackpot which will never be assured.

Online gambling is much more affordable than traditional gambling, in my opinion. Of course I feel different, because there's no one around, in the first place. I'm at home behind my computer and I don't hear annoying sounds made by other gamblers, nor I hear their boring conversations. I can stop whenever I want, without thinking that I spent some time and money to get here so I shouldn't leave after just 3 minutes of playing. Those kind of things.

This is a very correct clarification. Everyone blames online gambling for its easy accessibility, but everyone forgets the other side of this: leaving is also easy. And if we are talking about offline gambling, then I can hardly imagine how a gambler, having lost his deposit faster than he expected, immediately leaves the casino. Most likely, he will take more money (from a credit card or something else) because he is forced to “recoup” his costs of getting to the casino and still having fun.
Everything is as always: advantages from a certain angle can be regarded as disadvantages and vice versa.

Play in the comfort of your home so they say. I sometimes eat my meal in front of the desktop so I won't miss a thing. Users today are doing the sane thing while playing and at the same time twitching.

But it's entirely different when you have to travel a few miles and dress up for the night to play cards on the table. But I think it's more fun to actually go out than online if I had the choice I would prefer to go out and have a drink and chat with real people so that we can meet eye to eye.

The gambling was moved from the offline casinos to the new era of online gambling sites.Because over a 5years,most of the people like to play the games in the offline like casinos and the local area gambling industry.Their was huge disadvantage for the offline mode of the gambling,this was the biggest reason for the gamblers to get into the online mode of gambling.The first drawback of the offline gambling was the fight after the winner was announced in the gambling places.Ofcourse the fight begins after the winner is the friend or relative of the gambling owner even the game was made in the good way.

The gambling get into the second way of the crypto based gambling site,this help the gamblers to use their money in the form of crypto currency.So their won’t be any limit to deposit the fiat from the bank with the limited funds.Sometimes the gamblers will get luck after the some of the loss.So the gamblers should need of the money to be add after the loss.But if the deposit money is the fiat,the bank will limit the deposit of fiat to the gambling site.So the if the money is crypto currency which help the gamblers to pay with maximum liquidity and able to withdraw big money to their wallet from the gambling site.

This is the same situation that we see with mobile phones and all those chats and games they provide us with. People forget about other people, they don't care about the work they're doing and think of sneaking out to the bathroom to play or watch videos.
It's not gambling that is addictive but the Internet and all the information it floods our brains with.
IMO online gambling is a deadly mix of addictive online entertainment and gambling, which can be addictive all by itself. What can you do about it? It's a modern drug we have to live with.

What is online gambling in your personal opinion?
It's gambling on a pocket, I mean you can access it almost everywhere as long as you have internet and a phone or laptop.

Are your feelings different from when you play traditional gambling?
yeah, while I enjoy and get entertained gambling online, gambling on a land base casino are far more enjoyable and despite both of them being gambling, the feelings you can get from traditional gambling can be very different from online gambling.

Does it affect your gambling habits when you play online?
yes, I am more aware on what I am doing because theres less distraction and can actually focus on gambling and the rules that I have set for myself when gambling.

An entertainment and online gambling, this is indeed the reason why those who do both are very addictive.
Even that does not look at the age limit, because many underage children already play online gambling very easily on their mobile phones and may only use free internal coins that can be claimed, but to get more coins you have to buy with their money.

The main source is indeed the internet, but actually it is not the internet that is the problem,
but the misuse of the internet for things that are out of control, and eventually they become too addicts.

There should be control on the children or on oneself how to use all these conveniences as wisely as possible.
Because the modern era with increasingly sophisticated technology can be profitable or can be a disaster with some things that are not controlled, such as online gambling.

Yes, it do really be able to tick out those checkboxes when it comes to those kind of offering on which it is really that entertainment/thrill/leisure at the same time its been through the way of making those highly addictive game on which it isnt really that shocking that it would really be able to hook up tons of gamblers/people because of its nature and since that human beings are naturally greedy then on the time that they've seen that they could really be able to have that chance or probability on making money then they could really be having that kind of engagement on which we would really be definitely considering.

Some could really be having the control but some do end up on getting addicted or having lost their control and this is why we can really be able to see that there are lots of addicted persons who are really that
hovering themselves into gambling space and sharing up on the same mindset towards online gambling and even more pathetic having those beliefs that they could really be able to make a living
with it on which its not really that something right. It is really just that sad that there are people who do lost their track.

Well, it's a double-edged sword where convenience comes with making it easier to form a gambling addiction. We are easily stimulated to try different games when we play online. This is very dangerous and it is difficult for us to control our behavior, it's like mindlessly watching Youtube or scrolling through Tiktok.

Can you share the source with this statistics that you mention because Philippines alone have more than 100 online casino registered on our PAGCOR while other countries has much larger online casino registered especially country that has high frequency of gambling such as Australia and many more.

Online is more addictive than the traditional gambling because it’s convenient while a simple thinking about gambling will make a user gambling immediately that will cause addiction later on when the frequency of the game is already high.

Addictive for the fact that there's always huge money involve on the game then this is what people trying to hit to get bigger rewards to those casino games they play. That's the reason why there are unfortunate people fall into bad situation since they didn't handle so well their vices and it result to addiction which pull them off on bad condition that hard for them to resist.

If these guys just enjoy the game and ignore the wants to earn huge money for sure that they could able to enjoy those entertaining casino games. Since wrong expectation of people sometimes put them in harsh situation that hard for them to get off. If they are just experience gambler and know how to deal with addiction for sure they can go out happy and feel satisfied with those crucial situations they encounter.

Now there are many examples that happen, how children's games become gambling games that indirectly make children play them.

And also there is no ban from the government about games that contain gambling, such as High Domino Island which in real terms it is a slot gambling game,
dominoes and the like But it is still allowed and according to the government where I live it is just a game.

Even though, there have been many cases of losses and becoming addicts that occur because of the game.
Minors will be addicted to gambling type games and they cannot control it.

Gambling has always been highly addictive, especially when people feel the winning streak, we get the feeling that we can win all the time... even after losing a bunch of times we still believe that "our moment" is very close.

I will not force the difference between traditional and online gambling, each of us has some preferences. Slots nowadays are much more interesting than slots from 20 years ago, traditional games are still here, but many of them have different versions with some add-ons. So we can definitely say that gambling games these days are much more interesting than games from before.

The majority of people here on the forum are only online gamblers, and I believe that many of us will never stop gambling online.

Anyone can get addicted irrespective of which gambling style you choose to adopt. There are thousands of people who think online gambling is boring and would choose to patronize physical gambling casinos or shops over online gambling platforms, shouldn't we be worried about the safety of these set of people too? Rather than worry over the style of gambling one chose to adopt, same energy should be channelled to advocating for a responsible gambling style where the gamblers remain safe and free from any gambling related issues while gambling. Addiction doesn't care what style you adopt, as long as you gamble carelessly, you will definitely get into trouble. Online gambling has come to stay and those who value its offer would go for it. No matter what method you go for, always remember to gamble wisely.

I don't see that happening anymore as well. Sometimes the first thing to do upon waking up is check whether our bets win using our phones. We log on to our laptops and then we also log in using our phones so wherever we go our addiction comes along even when we commute the train, we browse our phones. Our phones are fueling the addiction as well.

We should understand that whatever comes with much benefits also gets attached to some certain disadvantages. Online gambling was introduced with the actual motive of making gambling easier and faster, on a more conducive environment but unfortunate how it has increased the amount of addicted players, in this case who should be blamed? It becomes our obligation to gamble and not get addicted. The reason for those promotion and marketing is to generate enough revenue, we all know these companies as well pay taxes so they require more users to come in, every other things now rely on us to get addicted or not.

Of course there is a big difference when you play on traditional land base casino. But as far as playing online and it affect my gambling habits? I will say no? Still gambling per se and it's either you win or lose, simply as that. There are gamblers though who prefer online as there are advantage for them, as it is easily and readily available. But if you go on a brick and mortar casinos, the atmosphere is different, you can talk to your fellow gamblers, and you socialize that online casinos can't give you. And if ever I will be given the chance, I still prefer to go and play on land base. Me and my wife, if we have time, will go on weekends and play and have some fun and get away from the stress.

What is addictive tendss to be entertaining because what's the point of doing it over and over again if we are not enjoying it so I would say online gambling is both addictive and entertaining.

Casinos promote themselves as entertainment portal and they made sure that before they release the platform they make sure to test it for their users to enjoy it.

Casinos wants you to enjoy the game because the more you enjoy the more money that you are going to shelve to use the platform.

For some, it's a fun way to pass the time and potentially win money, like i said on bunch of previous thread before for fun only, but for others, it can become a compulsive behavior leading to financial and personal problems so both of them is crazy in mu opinion.

If you hesitate about playing gamble i think the best option is too stay away from it

It is very true, when things are not done well you have many problems, the worst thing is falling into addiction because that really destroys the person, gambling when not taken with care is the most difficult thing in the world because When we are looking for the best way to have fun things can turn out the other way, instead of digesting ourselves we will spend moments of anger, stress and above all losing money, so that is what we must take care of in any way, for that reason when we We look for a way to do anything well in a casino. It is better to be careful with what we must take care of most, our money, our emotions because emotions are what make us lose in any case.

Sometimes I have to buy a game because I feel like I'm spending a lot of money and that doesn't suit me.

What is online gambling in your personal opinion? Are your feelings different from when you play traditional gambling? Does it affect your gambling habits when you play online? Please share your experiences here.
Online or tradition gambling all are thesame. I don't feel differently when playing the both. my gambling habits when I play online does not affect me. Though in between both of them, online gambling is likely to be more addictive than traditional because whenever you want to play online gambling you always find your account regularly without undermining the lost and the shortage of money in your bank but in traditional game you only play with what you can afford to lose with. The only thing that I know that makes them thesame is the ability to gamble with your fund, which you either win or lose.

Our children may not be able to create accounts to play directly on betting sites, but they can easily access gambling games with just a phone.
It's actually same lol, try to elaborate if there's a difference between the two.

What I mean is that betting sites need you to register an account and have an age limit to join, KYC and add payment methods to deposit money. Many children cannot do these things, so it is difficult for them to access gambling on these platforms.

However, with gambling games it is a different story. They can be easily downloaded and played on the phone. Although they do not use real money to play, they have coin loading mechanisms to play or participate in in-game events that require coins (purchased with real money) to be able to participate. This is also an indirect form of gambling.

The proliferation of online gambling in recent years has opened a new era for the gambling industry. According to statistics, there are about 800 companies in the world, with servers in 70 different countries providing more than 4,000 virtual slot machines, 600 virtual casino points, 300 bingo sites, 260 sports betting sites and 240 online poker points.

Am not against your statistics, but you would have given us the source to them, this may as well help us in reading further to learn more on other aspect in which you may not have emphasized on, as we know, gambling industry  has gained more popularity ever since the onset of the online digital era of crypto casinos, ,many organizations were also considering prospects in establishing a gambling platform till now.

With gambling increasingly legalized in many countries, this can be considered a modern entertainment game.

Assuming if the government and many other individual gamblers understand this statement that gambling is a form of entertainment, maybe they wouldn't have seen it in such approach they have already given to it, whereby you discover in some countries, it's illegal to gamble.

Right, this is once again all depends on the person and not a default statement can be given for all of it at once. Some people will use it as a modern entertainment, some people will find it highly addictive. I am pretty sure that you can find someone who can bet for an hour, and never want to bet again because that person didn't find it fun, even if they won money or not, and you can find someone who gambles for just 15 minutes, but can't stop gambling for all their life and get addicted to it.

This is why we should remember that we are not going to end up with anything that would be similar in all people, if you want to know if it is this or that, then you need to remember the answer is different in every different person.

What is online gambling in your personal opinion? Are your feelings different from when you play traditional gambling? Does it affect your gambling habits when you play online?

With the emergence of the popularity of online gambling, it seems that everyone is curious about it which creates a chain reaction among new users.

I think there has to be some sort of control over the advertisements of online gambling. Almost all social media platforms have hired influencers and YouTubers to advertise different online gambling platforms. In addition, these advertisements tend to influence the public about its perception being safe with all the free spins, rewards, etc. that it offers. Again, this creates a very dangerous precedent to the young as it also breaks their curiosity by trying it.

Online gambling is very different from physical gambling as there are different purposes. When a person tries gambling on an online platform, they mainly do it for the profit. There is no socialization involved and the only thing that is present is the player and the gambling game. In a physical casino, there happens to be socialization among the people and it creates this environment where people would get to meet and talk among each other.

Using data visualization tools such as graphs and charts to display gambling habits over time could indeed be a helpful tool in addressing gambling addiction and promoting responsible gambling practices. The point is that online gambling is highly additive game for some people that who cant control it but gambling itself is evolving to become the modern entertainment it is up to you, categorize gambling as modern entertainment or high addicitive game but for me today gambling is have both side.

I almost got carried away the first time that I started gambling online, because of the varieties of games and I can gamble even on my bed, but I became very cautious of myself when I noticed a strange change in my attitude towards gambling. This was how I could control myself, so what I have to say is that online casino, can make someone get addicted easily compared to land based casinos.
Well, it's a double-edged sword where convenience comes with making it easier to form a gambling addiction. We are easily stimulated to try different games when we play online. This is very dangerous and it is difficult for us to control our behavior, it's like mindlessly watching Youtube or scrolling through Tiktok.
There are people who can get easily attached to what they are doing but some are not like that. Both online and offline gambling had different games to choose from but it's only optional to try the other after the first one. At first, trying them looks fun but we will realize later on that it is also money-consuming.

This is why I ended up sticking on one game. Forms are only easy to access but there are extra verifications that only people who are on legal age can answer. Ads that we see will also depend on our interests. If we are into gambling, we can see lots of gambling ads as well. As long as we don't use the device of our kids, I don't think they will get exposed to it.

It depends on the gambler or the people. You know, gambling was originally created for entertainment in the past until they involved money in it and it became a hobby for many people, especially rich people. So the same goes with modern gambling or online casinos. It is made for people to easily access the gambling games they want to play for entertainment, but it will change if the gambler experiences uncontrollable emotions and minds that will push him to keep on gambling without caring about how much money he is losing or how far he's going.

Online casinos truly provide efficiency and convenience in order for us to play the gambling games we want, but of course it's our responsibility to take control and keep the entertainment of gambling, not just the mindset to earn or to hope that you will hit a jackpot and change your life. Don't rely on gambling because it will not give you what you've desired unless you are very lucky.

Entertainment, we should be ready ourselves for the future. Money is basis of our findings and we should be extremely careful with the system. This current days are complicated and we ought to know what's coming for us because the system can be the one to promise and fail us at the same time. Online gambling have complicated everything, we're now even just as those gambling addicts. Online gambling have made everything accessible for us, we just have to know what's profitable for us.

This is a very correct clarification. Everyone blames online gambling for its easy accessibility, but everyone forgets the other side of this: leaving is also easy. And if we are talking about offline gambling, then I can hardly imagine how a gambler, having lost his deposit faster than he expected, immediately leaves the casino. Most likely, he will take more money (from a credit card or something else) because he is forced to “recoup” his costs of getting to the casino and still having fun.
Everything is as always: advantages from a certain angle can be regarded as disadvantages and vice versa.

Yes, we shouldn't ever forget look at things from another angle. Easy accessibility of online gambling can surely be counterbalanced by the ease of exit.

~

Play in the comfort of your home so they say. I sometimes eat my meal in front of the desktop so I won't miss a thing. Users today are doing the sane thing while playing and at the same time twitching.

But it's entirely different when you have to travel a few miles and dress up for the night to play cards on the table. But I think it's more fun to actually go out than online if I had the choice I would prefer to go out and have a drink and chat with real people so that we can meet eye to eye.


And no one, absolutely no one has the right to blame you, mate. If you enjoy it like that, if you like playing with real people instead of icons on computer screen, then do it that way. I assume you are talking about poker? I just want to say that I personally can see real people behind those icons. Especially when we talk to each other in the chat box. So, for me it's no different from a game inside a brick and mortar casino.

I agree, Online gambling is easily accessible to everyone especially now that it is searchable on the internet so even those minors has an access so we need to be extra careful  since money is involve here, we need to know everything once we enter gambling activities to avoid any conflicts, problems and issue that may happen. Having an engagement in any gambling activities needs a corresponding self discipline to mininize the possible losses.

What is online gambling in your personal opinion?

Gambling has existed for many years, it has always been an entertainment activity. People play with the intention of making a profit and having fun and there is nothing wrong with that. The most important thing is that people play with a lot of moderation, just like everything people do in life. see that when a person eats a lot and starts to eat excessively, then that person becomes very fat and has a lot of health problems, so doctors recommend that that person starts to eat little and do physical exercises to lose weight. So with gambling you also need to moderate. As long as one is playing moderately, then everything will be fine.

Are your feelings different from when you play traditional gambling?

I honestly don't understand what traditional gambling means. When people go to a physical casino or online casino, they choose the game of chance that they like or that they think is most likely to win. so the feelings each person feels depend on the game they choose to play. In my case, I just like sports betting, that's why I only place sports bets. I don't know what traditional games of chance are, because dice games are one of the first games of chance, but calling them traditional games of chance would not be appropriate in my opinion.

Does it affect your gambling habits when you play online?

No, I always have my self control well under control, I always have rules that I follow. So I keep placing my bets based on my rules because I know that it is necessary to have self-control in gambling and in all the things we do in our lives. many people keep creating many threads talking about gambling addictions as if all over the world only gambling makes people addicted, when they know very well that alcohol is something that has the largest number of people addicted to it, but Few people blame it on alcohol. It seems like people defend alcohol. In my opinion, gambling should not be blamed. because it doesn't make any sense


Statistics On Alcohol Addiction And Abuse

Alcohol is the most widely abused substance in the US, yet alcoholism is often left untreated. An addiction to alcohol can be detrimental to a person’s physical, mental, and social wellbeing.

1 in 10 Americans over the age of 12 have an alcohol use disorder.


Alcohol use was responsible for 2.3 million deaths worldwide.

About 95,000 people die because of alcohol every year in the US.

About 20% of American adults (about 28 million people) have an alcohol use disorder; only about 7% of those people ever get treatment.
Approximately 10,500 drunk driving deaths occur annually in the US.

I believe that in my country the situation of alcohol addiction is also very serious. So we can't constantly talk about gambling addiction as if gambling were the only thing that makes people addicted, when we know very well that there are other worse addictions

With gambling increasingly legalized in many countries, this can be considered a modern entertainment game.

This is the day the game industry attracts many workers (directly or indirectly) and generates a large amount of revenue. With the legalization of some online gambling, the number of players has also increased significantly. And this is considered a quite popular recreational game in some countries.

Besides the positive factors, this modern form of entertainment is showing a higher addictive potential than traditional gambling. Many witnesses of online gambling addiction said they had completely lost control of their mind and were driven by an irrepressible desire. It is easy to access the game at any time and the gap between real money and virtual money on the computer is quite large. Players are easily fooled by the numbers on the screen. They do not have the feeling of winning or losing money compared to when holding real money, so players feel like this is just a game.


Besides, online gambling games do not require one person to observe the other, so they become very simple. Players seem to be absorbed in the virtual world and forget about the people around them, the games continue one after another, so they are more likely to become addicted to games on the screen.

This is a new era in the world of gambling where players are granted simple and convenient access. Based on the statistics that were presented, it is evident that online gambling has established its place as an integral part of contemporary amusement. Numerous firms offer diverse games. Yet, there are still deep-seated problems that concern addiction resulting from online gambling.
In terms of access, the distinct difference between real and virtual currency, as well as isolation in playing through the Internet, can heighten the risk of addiction. I am inclined to support this claim since it may be more feasible for some individuals to cease an online gaming addiction rather than an addiction to conventional gambling.

Based on my perception, there are various discrepancies between online gambling and offline gambling. In a casino or land-based gambling establishment, there is the presence of social interactions and tangible experiences that can affect my perspective towards the game. Conversely, in an online gaming situation, I am likely to be confined to my computer screen or smartphone display.

And that translates to the fact that online gambling can be both, depending on the person who got involved with this activity. It can easily be referred to as the modern entertainment as we can see, everyone can access it. Unless, the gambling site is very strict to their age requirement as well as their kyc protocols. Or can be a very addictive game to a lot of these players if they fail to contain themselves in front of their games.

So yes, we can say, it can be both, which relies on how a player is behaving towards this game. With online gambling platforms, you don't need to be rich to play your favourite game as most of them require only small amount of money to start betting. I believe, that's one great feature of online casinos, you can even play having 5-10 bucks, depending on the min amount of deposit of the site.

Not speaking for myself alone, but in general terms, gambling can be a modern entertainment, and it can also be a highly addictive game for anybody, it all depends on how we individually treat and or choose to see or take gambling.
For me, how both online and offline gambling have always been about just having fun, in fact, to be more honest, I stopped playing offline/physical games because it made me to want to win at all cost, that is, I seem to prioritize winning over entertainment when ever I am playing an offline game, and this is possibly because, I have friends, a lot of them that I will love to show off to, we tend to respect who ever is hitting more often than losing, so, I believe that if I were to keeping doing offline/physical gambling, I probably will become addicted, and this my family won't like at all.

So, I prefer to gamble online, and let me say that all that you said about online gambling is possibly true, but then, it still does not apply to every online gambler out there, it all depends on who is gambling, and how he or she is going about their gambling activities, for even as safe as offline gambling seems to be, there are still a lot of persons that are addicted to it as well.

Based on my own experience and how I’ve seen others have perceived it, I should say online gambling is a modern form of entertainment and a highly addictive kind of game. In general, gambling has always been a highly addictive game, except for those who are good enough in managing their own emotions and control their gambling urge. If they gamble with discipline, they will never end up seeing gambling as a highly addictive thing.

Moreover, online gambling becomes more addictive as it offers a lot of bonuses and promotions, variety of games and most especially convenience. While it offers modern entertainment as well, this may also lead and encourage faster gambling addiction. That’s why it’s still highly advisable to gamble with caution, and gamble at your own risk, regardless if it’s offline or online.

It's like a drug that you always want to be a winner because of the money that you may want to win.

No need to expand any of the meaning there and it's just either of the two, you have fun because you enjoy or you are gambling because of the money.

In my opinion online gambling is both a means of modern entertainment and a game that can be very addictive to anyone who plays.
because, gambling as a modern entertainment tool is only used by gamblers just to have fun in their spare time and those who are curious want to try it.
However, online gambling can also be addictive or addictive to everyone who plays on online gambling sites.
because you have tasted victory and experienced profits.
In online gambling, a player has experienced victory and made money, a gambler still wants to try online gambling games again. Because not only is it a means of entertainment, online gambling can also make money.
make money easily by playing and getting profits. So many players who initially want to try become addicted.
and vice versa. If a gambler experiences continuous losses, he will continue to have the ambition to return the capital he has spent. And this will make every player addicted, because online gamblers will have the ambition to return the capital they have spent and the losses they have experienced.

it is not in the companies' interest to have players with gambling problems/addiction because this is not their real objective... they are here to make profits and not to ruin people life. I think that in the future there will be more focus to avoid big loss or people addicted, trying to have more entertainment then gambling....

It is addictive whatever you treat it. As an entertainment, as a machine to make money or whatever your preference is. As long as you get hook on it and you've been doing it constantly.

You'll get used to it and that will practice your mind and body to do just the same again because the sensation and emotion is already there that have been developed when you've done it for several times.

Yes, but the online gambling industry has been around for quite a few years now, and to be honest, I haven’t seen much evolution in terms of protecting players from bankruptcies; on the contrary, it seems to me that advertising has become more aggressive. Marketing has begun to make much more use of subtle moments that can penetrate into the subconscious of people if they see a banner on the street with such a picture and words that they will stick in the head of an ordinary person. Of course, there are some moments when it is not the gambling platform that protects the user, but the state, for example, on our forum here we saw how much Australia is trying to limit gambling, but in my opinion this could have been done more gently.

Of course, ideally, an online gambling site would like the player not to lose all the money, but to constantly and on a regular basis come and lose, which, as a result, would amount to a large amount of money over the years of playing. And if a player loses in a casino once, then he may never return to this casino again, due to the fact that he was discouraged from playing or he will think that this casino is unlucky.

Besides the positive factors, this modern form of entertainment is showing a higher addictive potential than traditional gambling.
Modern form of gambling is more enticing, more entertaining to some too and because it has solved some challenges that limited traditional gambling, it is now easier for gamblers to become addicted. If you are introducing online gambling to anyone, help tell them that it can be more addictive because many new gamblers approach it with the same mindset as the traditional gambling that they think they have control over.  Controlling oneself not to get addicted to online gambling can be harder than controlling yourself against addiction to traditional gambling.

Are your feelings different from when you play traditional gambling? Does it affect your gambling habits when you play online? Please share your experiences here.

I should say, that nothing big changed in my gambling experience between traditional gambling and online gambling.

The same feeling, the same excitement, the same almost everything. Of course, it's just that it's more convenient doing online gambling but not a big deal to consider for the sake of comparison, at least for me. I can compare it to when we played our childhood activities and hobbies outside our homes then nowadays, switch to online activities more.

Always expect innovation and different trends as time progresses, especially in the big industry of gambling.

Besides the positive factors, this modern form of entertainment is showing a higher addictive potential than traditional gambling. Many witnesses of online gambling addiction said they had completely lost control of their mind and were driven by an irrepressible desire. It is easy to access the game at any time and the gap between real money and virtual money on the computer is quite large. Players are easily fooled by the numbers on the screen. They do not have the feeling of winning or losing money compared to when holding real money, so players feel like this is just a game.


Besides, online gambling games do not require one person to observe the other, so they become very simple. Players seem to be absorbed in the virtual world and forget about the people around them, the games continue one after another, so they are more likely to become addicted to games on the screen. What is online gambling in your personal opinion? Are your feelings different from when you play traditional gambling? Does it affect your gambling habits when you play online?

The ease at which we can get almost anything that we want is becoming a problem, as we are not used to live on this environment, so while 24/7 access to casinos all over the world with minimal requirements is unheard on the history of the world, at the same time this is not exclusive to gambling.

We are seeing similar problems with compulsive eaters, shoppers, video game players and even users of social media, so it is wrong to try to demonize gambling for what is happening, what it has to be done is to create awareness campaigns and remind people that such dangers are real, especially if they cannot exercise a minimal amount of self-control.

Well, like other online versions of physical activities, in some ways it is an improved version of physical gambling, because you can bet 24/7, you can do it with much smaller bet sizes, and in the case of poker you can use statistics programs among other advantages.

The downside is that being always available and not having to travel to gamble is potentially much more addictive but most people play responsibly.

Online gambling was initially developed with the aim of providing entertainment to many people by providing various online games that users can access directly from their devices. This online gambling provides easy access for people who want to gamble and get entertainment from it, but are too lazy to go to the casino. However, something usually comes with side effects, and addiction is a side effect of online gambling. There are many cases of addiction resulting from online gambling, it could even be said that cases are increasing from year to year in line with the development of the gambling industry.
But even so, online gambling cannot be completely blamed for this. Because after all, addiction is caused by the bad habits of gamblers who gamble irresponsibly and carelessly. If gamblers have good knowledge of gambling and gamble responsibly, it is possible that they will not become addicted to it.

They are both modern entertainment and highly addictive activity as accessing gambling sites can be done by anyone and every age as not all of them requires personal identification to verify the age of the players (this happens mostly in crypto based gambling sites). It's easily accessible and entertaining as there's a lot of games, sports betting tournaments and different table games you can access and these combinations would result to addiction to some of us who can't control themselves.

Gambling itself is addictive in nature so the essence will remain same irrespective of doing offline or online.

And there is nothing called virtual money, you need real money to gamble in an online platforms, you can can try the demo games where you will be offered to experience the games but it's not same as gambling with your real money.

Betting online has its own advantage like we can bet very minimal amount and there is nothing to be ashamed of quitting at anytime but in casinos it's close to impossible because we always think of others and what would be thinking about us if we give up in the middle.

Finally it's our responsibility to do anything that doesn't affect us in any way.

it seems easier to get addicted to gambling online.

The proliferation of online gambling (https://bletting.com/blog/?s=online+gambling) in recent years has opened a new era for the gambling industry. According to statistics, there are about 800 companies in the world, with servers in 70 different countries providing more than 4,000 virtual slot machines, 600 virtual casino points, 300 bingo sites, 260 sports betting sites and 240 online poker points. With gambling increasingly legalized in many countries, this can be considered a modern entertainment game.

This is the day the game industry attracts many workers (directly or indirectly) and generates a large amount of revenue. With the legalization of some online gambling, the number of players has also increased significantly. And this is considered a quite popular recreational game in some countries.

If we abuse it then it's certainly highly addictive.
I do believe you are talking about casino games because for me when someone says "online gambling" then even sports betting is dragged into it.
IMO, sports betting is not highly addictive because once the game you bet for ends, there's really not much to do but wait for the next game to happen, it could be tomorrow or after two days so there's rest between those times.
I played sports betting for a long time that's why I could say that, I can do house chores and my work after the game ends, and all I do is just think about my next strategy or analyze the next game when the schedule comes out.
So for me, gambling adds to the entertainment factor in sports betting but in casino games, it sure is highly addictive so gamble responsibly.

I think it is part of the beauty that has been made by the internet and digital growth. Online gambling is that freedom in gaming that sets a gambler in his privacy without any interference to his choice. So one important feature of online gambling is that the gambler has his privacy on how to live his gambling life and not bother about any third party intrusion into his life unlike in traditional offline gambling that you are gambling to the eyes of the world. However, the freedom granted by online gambling has its disadvantages and disadvantages but a gambler online should know how to balance it.

Online gambling have different perspectives from different class of people. If you ask me then gambling is treated as entertainment by the rich guy only. They gamble for the recreational purpose. They don’t care about the money. Such rich guys also become addicted to gambling. Now on this side, a middle class guy only gambles in order to earn some extra money from the family. They cannot ever think gambling as entertainment, neither can’t become addict, as they won’t have the money.

It will be correct to create a chain like online>more available or easy to access>more users>easier to get addicted, but I think most of people still do that for entertainment sake. Of course there are crazy individuals, that turn on their devices every morning to start their work as online gambler to earn, but I believe there are not so many of them. And most part of it do it to earn not from gambling directly, but from streaming and donations. Like people scroll Instagram reels and Facebook feed for search of entertainment, similarly people gamble a little regularly. But, then can always stop that and move to other more entertaining activity.

Online gambling is the same as offline gambling, where people play many online games using money with their devices. They can play online gambling wherever they want and withdraw their winnings. Online gambling games can be fun entertainment but can also make people addicted to playing them continuously.

Online gambling games are different from traditional gambling games because we don't need to go to a casino like we do offline gambling. The feeling may be the same as when we play offline gambling, but the difference is that we will not interact directly with other gambling players. We will not meet other gamblers when we play online gambling.

It should not affect our gambling habits. When we gamble offline, we already have a schedule for when we can gamble. When we play online gambling, we should also be able to arrange a gambling schedule. But this very interesting online gambling game can make people keep returning to play it.

Both of them, some people will use online gambling as a way to gamble and enjoy privacy at the same time while some people will use online gambling to make money, leading them become addicts.

Since I can control myself and know how to manage my money, I fall to modern entertainment.

Now on this side, a middle class guy only gambles in order to earn some extra money from the family. They cannot ever think gambling as entertainment, neither can’t become addict, as they won’t have the money.
Addiction isn't about how much money you spent, but how many percentage of the money you earn every month that you spend for gambling.

If you earn $1M and gambled everything, you're an addict.

If you earn $1K, $500 for your monthly expense and another $500 you use for gambling, it's not an addict.

Gambling should always be fun, the problem is that people often look at it as a source of income, but do you know someone who lives (successfully) just because they gamble? Of course, there are those who occasionally win big, but we all know that the rules of the game are set so that there is a very small percentage of those who will succeed, regardless of how much money they invest and how long they play.

As for the difference between playing online and in physical casinos, it definitely exists. I think that playing in physical casinos is much more than a game, considering the overall experience that accompanies the game, but also an online game has its advantages if we consider that we can do it from the comfort of our home at any time.

I enjoy online gambling, it's more preferable from my experience besides online casino is stressfree and you can actually gamble at work, home etc. Addiction will definitely come home or away like online casino or land casino if the gambler fails to control their emotions, if a gambler feel the need to stake more just because it has to do with online and not physical then I disagree. I took some time observing few gamblers in my locality and I observed this habit common among themselves they never get ashame gambling more and more, so I think both online and traditional gambling can build up an addict quickly. Preventing gambling addiction just depend on the gambler and how they react to different bet.

Wrong, Gambling is old skool, its been around for a very long time and my grand father says a lot about gambling when he was around in his 70s.

When it comes to modern entertainment, gambling was been refined like a wine, thats all I can say, but its a very old way of entertainment.

Bitcoin was born in 2009/2010 and this makes it a modern digital money, we can't say the same for Fiat currency, gambling is old skool, while VR gaming is a modern way of entertainment today.

Of course, there is a lot of advertising now and more than before this moment. It is found on the Internet quite often and of course this affects those who see it and want to play. Another thing is that walking and looking at a smartphone while our children are playing on the playground without our participation is not entirely correct. I want to say that you don’t need to do this when you have a choice to spend time with your sister-in-law or with friends, I just don’t understand how you can disrespect others. I personally play in online casinos only when I know that no one will come to me and I am alone. For me it is relaxation, but I do not let it spread within me, because I know how dangerous it is inside if you give it freedom and irresponsible play.

In my personal case, I have not had much experience when comes to gambling in brick and mortar casinos, most of my accumulated wager has been placed thanks to my interaction with online casinos and bookies. Though, I do not completely abandon the idea of having a good time in traditional casinos, as you call them.
To me, the biggest difference and what actually makes online casino to stand among other kinds of gambling is how easily accesible is for most of people around the world (where gambling is legal and allowed). Just think about it, when comes to traditional casinos, one is supposed to plan and get out our way to spend time gambling only one afternoon, on the other hand, thanks to online gambling and the advance of technology, anyone above the age of 18 can gamble wherever they are, as long as they have internet connection, more accesibility and less control over our habits are the main factors which trigger addiction to gambling in general.
To gamble responsibly is important, regardless one gambles in a traditional casino or online.

The saddest part is, They play in a reckless way using huge amount of money that we all knew it was sponsored yet normal viewers think it was real money from streamers. I watch many streamers in our local like Bigboycheng that usually has a bankroll or 1M or more in our local currency which he casually just bet recklessly just to entertain viewers.

Some innocent people that might watch his stream accidentally will be entertained to try gambling and do the same hoping to win huge amount since those streamers usually flex their highlights of big win while they usually ended up with bust bankroll.

Online casino is highly addictive and destructive at the same time due to its convenience to play.

I agree, Online gambling is easily accessible to everyone especially now that it is searchable on the internet so even those minors has an access so we need to be extra careful  since money is involve here, we need to know everything once we enter gambling activities to avoid any conflicts, problems and issue that may happen. Having an engagement in any gambling activities needs a corresponding self discipline to mininize the possible losses.
Even though access is easy, minors also need to do KYC and I don't think children can still fulfill these requirements, every online gambling requires this and there is definitely an age limit. But if the father already owns the gambling site and has done KYC and If the child accidentally finds out, maybe the child will borrow his father's cell phone to use it to gamble. As parents, we have to be wary of our children's behavior if they borrow their parents' cell phone, especially if we as fathers are not immune from the world of gambling and we also use it in our free time and as parents. We have to avoid this and don't let our children find out and this all depends on our attitude as parents, whether we are negligent or not in paying attention.

Online gambling is indeed spread everywhere and it is very worrying. We as parents have to be strict with our children if we feel they are starting to be suspicious and if already have a cell phone it would be better if we check it regularly to avoid things like this, but I am sure the more gambling technology develops, the more difficult it is for children to access because currently many official gambling sites use quite strict regulations.

You said that in the wrong order because some gambling consider gambling a plain entertainment source, and most gamblers take it as an unreasonable demeanour like a source of income or something which it can't be because whether you win or lose in gambling is dependent on your luck and there is nothing else that can influence the results, so considering something like this being a constant income source is nothing but being foolish.

Those who take gambling as a source of entertainment will barely spend much money or time on it because they know there is no point in doing that, but those who are always looking to earn an income from gambling will spend most of their time and money on gambling only to get nothing at the end.

There's no difference they are modern forms of entertainment and at the same time addictive, online casinos promote themselves as entertainment portals and if you're enjoying playing there's a probability that you will become addicted to it.

Casinos like you to treat their portals as entertainment portals because it will look ugly to everyone's eyes if they promote themselves as a portal where you have a chance to make money, even though it's obvious that they entice you to bet for profit.

Online casinos are very addictive and players should be aware of it, because when you're playing online you are more focused because you are playing alone against the platform, compared to traditional platforms where you are compelled to stop because there are people around you and you don't want to look like big losers in their eyes.

It seems to depend more on each individual. whether traditional or online casinos, if someone cannot limit themselves when playing, it will certainly lead to excessive addiction.

In, for the most part no. There is individual variability, as with everything, but the ease of being able to bet instantly when you have a single thought and constantly is potentially much more problematic than traditional gambling, where if you have a thought of betting first you have to travel to a casino.

Online Gambling: Modern entertainment or highly addictive game?
Online gambling and traditional gambling, both of which have nothing else, only for the purpose of multiplying money, in reality those who gamble at both casinos experience losses and defeats.

For this reason, every person who visits a casino has its own impression and experience in terms of entertainment and fun, that is a fact, where online casinos often make people addicted, but not from fun, on the contrary, we often see traditional casinos that visit them because they have a fun nature, but not many are addicted.

In essence, if we look at the two effects of gambling, there are addictive and enjoyable effects, but online and traditional are two different effects, but the goal is the same.

You are right Don Pedro, physical distance is definitely a barrier, and the capacity to gamble on the go, everywhere, at any time, from your smartphone, isn't the best aid for someone with a problem of addiction, even if it is also true that these people will also overcome other barriers to gamble in land-based casinos.

We as adults must be aware of the risks and responsible of our acts, but also humble, and look for help as soon as we detect a dangerous pattern in our behavior.

The games on the casino makes players comes over and over without thinks about what will happens to them if they can't stops themselves from playing gambling. It happens to many people but that's not stops people from coming to the casino because they tempts from what they see from other people who can wins from gambling. But if someone can hold himself from return to the casino because he knows that can makes him addicted to gambling, he will not return to casino too often. He will limits himself from playing gambling and will prevents himself from the addiction because he knows that can gives him many troubles. Casino online gives many gambling games but we knows when we can playing gambling so we don't use much time to playing gambling to prevents the addiction. Online casino is a modern entertainment and it's our jobs to treat online casino as an entertainment and not lets ourselves becomes addicted to gambling.

     -   As the title says, modern entertainment and highly addictive games. It is only in these two that a gambler can fail. This is about online gambling, so the only sad thing is that most people
are addicted to online gambling.

What makes it even worse when it is promoted on social media platforms such as Facebook is that even minors see the gambling ads, which for me is not a good way or platform for children
who are not yet fully mature to see them.

And it is true that it is highly addictive game, specially for those who are eager to have an easy money or profit.



Clearly yes without doubt gambling whereas online gambling is a mode of entertainment and a simultaneously addictive game and the priveledge to have access to online betting, casinos games have made it a lot easier and better for gamblers to penetrate their way to big wins.To me I prefer online games rather than land base cause I'm at liberty to freestyle what I want but that doesn't make me addicted you know.

I don't think that things are so bad with online gambling and the majority of gamblers is not becoming addicted to online gambling. While online gambling might be a new form of entertainment for many people, the whole concept of virtual entertainment is not new at all. Ever since the rise of the internet so has the gaming industry and is developing new blockbuster games every year. Among my friends everybody has spent some time as a teenager gaming on their PC or console. So, sitting alone in your room and looking at the screen is nothing new. None of my friends became addicted to gaming and are also now not addicted to gambling. The only new thing is that now is real money involved in the games.

This is sad reality and I don't know how those people can sleep at night knowing that they put other people in this kind of circumstances. That they know is bad. This is not an attack but only my personal opinion. Many influencers really advertise even the widespread scams, and sadly still many people are falling for it because of one, entertainment, and second the fun making easy money and get rich quick.
Most people who're addicted to gambling are no brainers, since they have no brain, they can sleep well since they have nothing to think. They believe there's always a way to get money to gamble and gamble to recover their past losses.

People who have brain won't become addicts in the first place because they always think about the future.

    -   As the title says, modern entertainment and highly addictive games. It is only in these two that a gambler can fail. This is about online gambling, so the only sad thing is that most people
are addicted to online gambling.

What makes it even worse when it is promoted on social media platforms such as Facebook is that even minors see the gambling ads, which for me is not a good way or platform for children
who are not yet fully mature to see them.

So true. I don't like it when those social media streamers add gambling advertisements in the last part of their videos. Whenever I see one, I unfollow them. Why? Simply because my kid is using the same phone that I use and sometimes he is browsing my page just looking for his own videos that I uploaded. I am just avoiding the chance that he might bump into them and his innocence about gambling will be gone. Also, I try to tell my eldest kid to avoid such streamers even though their videos are a bit funny because of their gambling advertisements too.
This is a highly addictive habit and I don't want them to become one. Modern entertainment if you are old enough to be responsible at what you do because gambling ain't a joke, we are risking our money here and those who ain't got a job to feed their bad habit should stay away from it.

I think both are correct options, it is a modern entertainment, in fact there is no doubt, but it can also become an addiction without a doubt, people who are playing all the time must be very careful when operating in casinos because It is very easy to fall into addiction, whether in an online casino or in an offline casino, what matters here is that the entertainment can be enjoyed from home in peace, with a good internet connection, that is enough to be well. in the game,

I will always say something, when we are looking for fun on the internet there is a lot, but casinos are entertainment that for some people can be very dangerous because they spend a lot of money, then these things must stop so as not to be bad with oneself, well it's my penamsinto, enjoying is fine, but wisely.

it's both, it could cause addiction and also entertainment for players. gambling can become an addiction because players gamble irresponsibly and uncontrollably. they ignore the dangers of addiction from gambling, and think that this is normal in order to pursue their winnings. whereas on the contrary, if they gamble responsibly and within their limits, it will allow them to enjoy gambling and make it an entertainment to improve their mood or relieve boredom.

I could argue that it mainly depends on the type of games that you play.

Let's imagine for a moment that you bet on matches that you watch, like me. I watch maybe 2 or 3 a month, mainly on the weekends, but sometimes less. Betting on them provides more fun, makes the experience more entertaining, while being so rare that you can't call me an addict.

Bottom line, it depends on how frequently you play, what type of a person you are. Someone who's easily addicted will lose all money on scratch cards, while a strong gambler will play poker for years without any signs of addiction.

This will reflect how responsible you are when it comes to gambling and seriously, any game can cause addiction and it will always depend on how you are going to deal with it. There are times that playing multiple time can cause addiction while its also possible even if you rarely place a bet, so anything can happen in gambling in an instant without realizing it. If you want to have more fun then make sure you gamble responsibly.

There is no other point of view about online gambling for me. It is as-is, whatever is the word is then that's it. As gambling, there's the entertaining part of it but also the addictive side which is when you're able to win some money, you'll never stop.

That could be understandable, but there cases, and there are many of them, when people can't stop after losing money. They think the fates can't be against then all the time, and so they should win after a losing streak. I want to tell those people, "Guys, you are absolutely right, your destiny can't be always against you, but 100 times in a row it can. And that would be enough for you to lose everything."

All in all, gambling is a modern entertainment, but the risk of addiction is always there.

I also agree that a player depends on his frequency of play, he cannot be playing every day at all hours, I would say that a good player should play at least 1 or 2 times a week, of course it also depends on the amount of money that you have to spend, because to enter a casino it is better to forget About the money that you will have in the casino because it is money that is clearly very likely to be lost, except for those who manage to multiply it more than that, which gives me a lot of joy, even if the others win that makes me happy, so in the face of these things we have to see that the best thing that happens here is that they are considered good players and not lose control by playing from time to time and not seeing the game as a necessity, thus avoiding falling into addictions that will bring us Problems in our lives.

All in all, gambling is a modern entertainment, but the risk of addiction is always there.

Let us put it this way, every activity is prone to addiction and gambling is no exception. Especially this activity involves money and we are just humans, where money is usually the source of change of behaviour of an individual. It may be entertaining in the beginning but as the player is getting too deep in this activity, he can easily go to the route of addiction.

This will reflect how responsible you are when it comes to gambling and seriously, any game can cause addiction and it will always depend on how you are going to deal with it. There are times that playing multiple time can cause addiction while its also possible even if you rarely place a bet, so anything can happen in gambling in an instant without realizing it. If you want to have more fun then make sure you gamble responsibly.

If you are determined to play responsibly, you will always have allocated budget to burn on this activity. And you will stick to this budget no matter what. Though you can go beyond from time to time, but you will always know to what extent you can go beyond your limit and you are clear with your intentions with your gambling habit.

With the convenience provided by online gambling, we can play it anytime and anywhere. Online gambling can indeed make someone very addicted.

Where I live, gambling is an illegal activity and is often considered a negative activity, so it is very rare to do offline gambling, gathering in a certain place to play card gambling. I very rarely do they do that. But when it comes to online gambling, especially young people, many people are involved in this activity. And it is even impossible that today young people are not familiar with online gambling. Online gambling is like mushrooms spreading everywhere and many people are trapped in this activity. In fact, my country is one of the countries with the largest number of online gamblers in the world.

The proliferation of online gambling in recent years has opened a new era for the gambling industry. According to statistics, there are about 800 companies in the world, with servers in 70 different countries providing more than 4,000 virtual slot machines, 600 virtual casino points, 300 bingo sites, 260 sports betting sites and 240 online poker points. With gambling increasingly legalized in many countries, this can be considered a modern entertainment game.

This is the day the game industry attracts many workers (directly or indirectly) and generates a large amount of revenue. With the legalization of some online gambling, the number of players has also increased significantly. And this is considered a quite popular recreational game in some countries.

This is the day the gaming industry attracts many workers (directly or indirectly) and creates a large source of revenue. With the legalization of some online gambling activities, the number of players has also increased significantly. And this is considered a quite popular entertainment game in some countries.

Besides the positive factors, this modern form of entertainment is showing a higher addictive potential than traditional gambling. Many witnesses of online gambling addiction said they had completely lost control of their mind and were driven by an irrepressible desire. It is easy to access the game at any time and the gap between real money and virtual money on the computer is quite large. Players are easily fooled by the numbers on the screen. They do not have the feeling of winning or losing money compared to when holding real money, so players feel like this is just a game.


Besides, online gambling games do not require one person to observe the other, so they become very simple. Players seem to be absorbed in the virtual world and forget about the people around them, the games continue one after another, so they are more likely to become addicted to games on the screen. What is online gambling in your personal opinion? Are your feelings different from when you play traditional gambling? Does it affect your gambling habits when you play online? Please share your experiences here.

Gambling has been around since the beginning of time, both people taking a risk that they might get a shortcut to wealth and also people offering odds that they know over the long term will bring in more money than they lose. Online gambling does make the whole process much faster and will empty out your wallet without even leaving your own home, but besides that the fundamentals are very much the same. It does have access to a much wider audience, compared to say in the 1980's where most Americans might have to travel all the way to Las Vegas in order to fulfill their desires. It definitely can be a source of entertainment for some people, as long as they keep the play casual.

Yes, the comfort and the accessibility and the availability of these things are the main reason on why tons of people do really make out engagement into it because its something that you could really be able to play up or deal with it in a matter of few clicks or simply having no hassle. There are people who are really that seeing for gambling to be interesting and there are people who do find this to be that great and easy
and this do really sparks out their interest on playing gambling while there are those people who doesnt really care.It would really be just that depending into someones interest because if you are really that
interested on playing gambling then you would really be definitely be doing it.Just like me on which no matter how i could easily access these things but still i do find out not to be interested because
losing money is never been that included into my interest.

It comes down to individual behavior, even in physical casinos you will also likely to be addicted because the physical casinos have a way of making you stay for hours even days, and they have their way for you to spend more.

This is what gambling platforms do best whether online or offline, so if you think there are many losses and become addicted to online casinos, physical casinos also have a share of that.

If you have a weak character and your goal in gambling is to make money you are likely to be a candidate to become addicted whether you're playing online or offline.

For me it is both of it, gambling would and has always been a form of entertainment for some of us, and making it online is an easy access for us we could gamble anywhere and anytime we want.
And it is true that it is highly addictive game, specially for those who are eager to have an easy money or profit.



Clearly yes without doubt gambling whereas online gambling is a mode of entertainment and a simultaneously addictive game and the priveledge to have access to online betting, casinos games have made it a lot easier and better for gamblers to penetrate their way to big wins.To me I prefer online games rather than land base cause I'm at liberty to freestyle what I want but that doesn't make me addicted you know.
Yeah
Inasmuch as online gambling has made things a lot more convenient and accessible for gamblers, it has also increased the chances of addiction because people can now access gambling anywhere and anytime, even in the comfort of their home, which means more gambling for them, and when most people gamble more, it means more chances of getting addicted.

It's very essential for gambler's to know that regardless the accessibility of gambling, there's every need for responsible gambling, they should abuse the accessibility that comes with online gambling and then let it work to their own disadvantages, that way, gambling will no longer carry out its main purpose, which is to provide fun and recreation for you, rather than this, it becomes destructive as it can take the best of you and could also ruin your life.

The best way to approach gambling is to maintain a good standard and always play responsibly, without letting the addictive aspect of gambling get through to you, rather than allowing gambling to be a source od pain and regret, it should be something you do for fun, like going out to play golf, tennis or going for skiing and other stuffs, that way, whether you lose or win, you must've still had your loads of fun.

Those people that are in a country where gambling is restricted or illegal, you've got have a better way to treat it as a modern entertainment because it's just going to be for fun.

But those that are in countries that it isn't illegal, they're more prone into becoming addicted to it. That's why the location where we at are also a big factor.

When it seems to be a norm for majority of the locality or neighborhood then, there's a likely that you'll get attracted as well because of the crowd attention that's given to it.

Gambling is highly addictive in countries where the practice is forbidden by local governments, as gamblers have no other alternative besides playing at virtual casino from the safety and secrecy of their homes or risk themselves are clandestine casinos where the police can come in at any moment. The accessibility such services provide lead gamblers into deep necessity for the activity, especially at the beginning of their gambling journey, where the losses from the long term haven't hit yet, and profitability is likely to be still going on for the gambler.

As consequence, gamblers get addicted to the profit they are making and don't want to stop anymore, until their luck finally changes to the other side and starts favouring the house. That is when the gambler should stop and break the cycle, and thankfully most do. However, there is always a minor portion of gamblers who won't give up, developing further addiction to the games, even though they aren't winning anymore.

Then we have a migration from the addiction to the profit, to the addiction to the gambling games, as profit isn't achievable anymore, but the gambler keeps insisting on it. This practice is pathological, because the individual gives up on his reasoning to continue playing without having conditions to afford to lose anymore.

It's a bit of both or should I say it's both an entertainment and an addictive avenue? I believe that this kind of thing depends from person to person since we're all unique individuals. If you've been raised as a person that's got the discipline and the ability to take things in moderation, you'd have an easy time considering online gambling as just a form of entertainment but if you've grown up in a household that don't emphasize those virtues, you'd probably have a potential or susceptible to getting addicted to gambling, your answer would also depend on it without you being aware that you're choosing which one will likely lead you to become when you gamble online.

Now I'm not saying that you can't train yourself to be disciplined but think about it this way, those who were trained at a young age would have the advantage compared to you where you'll have to just do it now.

Well, playing online is a convenient way to entertain yourself. Though of course chances to become addicted is high because it is accessible anytime as long as you have internet and money to use for playing. The experience is similar to traditional, the advantage is you have a privacy and can focus more on the game since you're alone.

What I like about online casino is, it's hassle free. However, one should have a discipline because if you let yourself become addicted in gambling (since many gamblers already fall in such situation) it can ruin your life. Thus, it depends on how you gamble, because it is crucial to have a self control to be able to manage your emotion.

Everything has drawbacks, and while almost everything is more convenient and accessible today, at the same time this has the disadvantage that it has never been easier to spend your money on a sudden impulse.

And we are seeing that many people cannot deal with this environment and many others have a lot of problems doing so, so I think it will take people a few generations to adjust to this new environment in which the only tangible limitation that seems to exist is the amount of money on your bank account.

I think it's true, this is something that is entertaining but also the opportunity to become addicted is very big. What you say is correct, it depends on each individual who has what kind of attitude, maybe for those who are raised with the right discipline they will not be addicted even if they can get a big win which can make them addicted to continuing to do it. and indeed think that online gambling is just a means of entertainment, not a means of making money, let alone making it a job.
This is different from individuals who do not have good discipline, maybe they will easily get addicted because of the tempting wins that are said to be easy to get but in reality are difficult to get. In my opinion, for those who cannot be disciplined in gambling, they will very easily become addicted to gambling, even though they say it's just entertainment, but I think it's just an excuse to cover up their gambling addiction on this one thing.

There is no doubt about that. People who are into sports betting tend to have lower odds of getting addicted to it because sports betting isn't highly addictive, but if someone is involved in gambling games where they play gambling games such as dice, crash, or slots games, they would have higher odds of getting addicted to them because these are addictive games by nature and one can easily get addicted to them if they don't have enough self-control.

So, you are right that it depends on what games someone is involved in. Most people who play gambling games overdo it, they won't stop once start gambling until they have all their money lost and have no other option than stopping, and some wouldn't stop even then and try to get more money from here and there only to feed their addiction.

It's a common misconception that most people who gamble are having problems with that, or that they so-called "problem gamblers". In fact, there are about 5% of such people depending of the area. See, 5% is far from what can be called "the most". Actually, it's a dangerous mistake made by many gamblers. It gives them an excuse for becoming addicted, because like there's nothing unusual about it, everyone is addicted who's involved with gambling.

And the reality about it is that many have treated it as a way for them to make money whilst it's not being recommended by many. We have to embrace that reality that aside from being addictive and entertaining, what it can offer by winning some off and on. There goes the mindset that have been setup to many gamblers that this is another way to make money. While many will definitely disagree with that because gambling is built for them to enjoy together with their friends and people who they will deal with as they gamble. So, whichever you treat it based on your own view, you'll still end up with the thought that you have to gamble with what you can afford to lose because it's painful when you lose everything and come to that point unprepared.

So i believe that this is entertaining at the same time addicting because that is what gamblers do now, they even giving people hard time in terms of expenses because of this addicting field .
There is no doubt that gambling is addictive, based on how we feel. There's no need to see someone's experience just to get that perspective that we want to know. Because we know it from ourselves within when we've got our personal views due to the experiences that we're cherishing and either good or bad, we've got the lesson.

You're absolutely right.
Online gambling has really gained popularity online, when it comes to online leisure activities, and rhe fact that a lot people are spending so much money on online gambling is quite disturbing too.
It's important to always have it in mind that gambling addiction could cause some one lots of misfortune and pain, starting from financial problems to affecting your relationship with people around you, which also includes family and friends. So instead of allowing one's self to fall victim to such a devastating thing, it's best to learn how to manage your emotions as well as your bankroll.

So instead of allowing one's self to fall victim to such a devastating thing, it's best to learn how to manage your emotions as well as your bankroll.
It is true that day by day online gambling platforms going to be popular as a lot of people is popular and a lot of people are trying to avoid gambling sites though the second part is lower than the first part.

Online gambling bring a lot of comfort and privacy to gambling but this can not be likened to entertainment. Gambling is far from entertainment because the only things that triggers joy and laughter in gambling is winning. Without winning, gambling is all about pain and regrets which can never be in any way regarded as fun.

I was actually evaluating my gambling activities now that I play mostly online and when I was visiting the physical outlets and I realized I gamble more now in terms of the frequency, the time spent and the amount put into gambling. Maybe that is some kind of addiction but I try to be moderate in my gambling so that I don't get depressed. So yes online gambling have taken the business to another level.

Both for me , because that is why this is the most popular activities in online in terms of leisure nowadays , in this people are spending so much money for such a time now and that bothers many non gambling people.

So i believe that this is entertaining at the same time addicting because that is what gamblers do now, they even giving people hard time in terms of expenses because of this addicting field .

A severe addiction is a bad thing definitely, but just an addiction the way you are addicted to Netflix or bubble gums, I think there's nothing wrong with that. Gambling is a good entertainment, and since we love it so much it's no wonder we are a little bit addicted to it.  It's important to stay in that state without going over the edge because once you step in that territory of heavy losses, massive borrowings and unfounded big expectations it will be hard to get out of there without professional help.

It can be comfort and ease when comes to gambling from our homes, where we choose how to set our gambling time by ourselves, however I am not sure to what level actual privacy is involved with the current way people gamble on online casinos, because of KYC and AML, though, I assume you are rather talking about privacy from the perspective of other people close to us not being explicitly aware of our wagering and activities in the casino.

Also, your perspective and point of view about Gambling as a source of joy is valid, but not completely accurate, otherwise gamblers would not come back to the casino after losing a relatively big amount of money to them, they come back.
Gamling is not entirely about winning, but about the *possibility* of winning, the uncertainty and the expectation is what triggers they chemicals in our brain which makes gambling enjoyable and sometimes addictive, winning is rather a plus to us (who are aware of the risks of this hobby), if one looks for wealth by gambling then one does not have the right point of view on this business and it will undoubtly end up in regrets and pain.

I know: you're in charge and nobody's watching. It sounds good, right? People dont tell you that KYC laws make privacy obsolete. These massive shots store your life narrative. Yeah, yeah, its for safety, whatever. You must realize the cost. I'll admit, gambling is fun. Not necessarily about the money; its the adrenaline of "what if I win" It hooks people. But this isnt for everyone. If you think you'll get rich overnight, you're wrong. Gambling should be fun. Anyone expecting otherwise will be disappointed. I understand the human struggle. Everyone wants a vacation and excitement. Be clever about it. Addiction is real and sneaks up. Buddhists say "desire is the root of suffering". Something to consider. No one wins always; the house always wins.

I picked some good points you made in your statement and they’re "no one wins always, the house always wins" that is on thing every individual needs to understand about gambling, some people could see gambling as a means of not until they risk huge money and lose it all then they’ll realize it's not very funny to risk it all, that's why it's advised that individuals should risk what they can afford to lose.

 Concerning the OP i think i agree that people who gamble online could essily get addicted than those who patronise traditional gambling shops or casinos, there are many things that could hinder one from going to the traditional gambling shops like distance, high transportation, fear of being caught by family or loved ones but for the online sites one could gamble comfortably anywhere with their devices.

The misconception is seeing winning as the only form of laughter. Gambling offers little winning moments to players. Hence, it's hard not to find a session that wasn't filled with losses and a little sprinkle of wins. Holding on those wins as a way to be happy in gambling leads people who seek for happiness in gambling into addiction. Because their source of happiness is seasonal, not constant. And losses causes sadness thereby making the gambler feel sad of himself when the game is concluded without any significant wins made out of it.

The online settings is addictive because of the portability and accessibility of the game. I could remember how glued we were to our gadgets when playing video games. That's the kind of concept the online gambling platforms initiated to hold players to play more and seek for wins. Phones, laptops and another gadget used in accessing the online gambling platforms is something we can use for a long period without feeling tired or the need to stop immediately. So people are expected to get addicted to the lifestyle more like others who are also glued to social media platforms. Which is also addictive.

I don't quite understand what you mean when you say those laws and regulations make privacy obsolete. If we keep in mind the meaning of privacy and the implications of it in this world which is getting over-connected, people is never supposed to give up completely on their right for privacy. If there is something those laws and regulations should do would be to make money laundering obsolete in casinos. The attack on privacy and anonymity is like a colateral damages being done to us. Whether it is aceptable or depends on each one of us and our personal opinions in how companies should manage our information and whether they are entitled to share it with our governments.
If we keep in mind what happened with Edward Snowden and the plans he revealed from the administration of Obama and the Allies of the USA to push for massive surveillance, then we (as users) should assume any information sent to casinos is likely stores in a government data base, sooner or later.

I do believe that only a few would really be having that kind of real fun seeking activity or something that they could really be able to enjoy on playing gambling but sooner or later on the time that you would be experiencing those loses then that fun and interest would really be that become being desperate and becoming that revengeful on which this is something that most happen for gamblers and this is why they do end up on getting stressed and having that kind of disappointment due to those loses. On the time that those mindset and impressions had changed up then this is where you would really be starting yourself on chasing up your loses. We do know that in the market today there are tons of variations of gambling online casinos or platforms which they can offer into gamblers on where its not really something that could be denied that gambling is something that you could be able to enjoy but when loses are starting to pile up then mood and vibe would be changing up.

No, no, that's not what happens to most gamblers. Most gamblers lose money to gambling eventually, that's true, but they are not becoming desperate or revengeful because of that, they just move on, thinking that will try their luck again next day, next week or next year when it's a trip to Vegas. It's just an interesting experience for them, not a tragedy, when they lose their money. It's because they allocated for their gambling only what they could afford to lose.

As long as it is kept once a year trip to Vegas with a limitation on the total budget to spend, it should be good. Then there are those who go there and don't come back, which is a horrible thing.

For online gambling, the easy access to the site means more regular attendance from gamblers.

It's all there just to make things easier for the addicted gamblers. Those who don't gamble don't care at all about so many casino websites.

        -   I also agree with what you are saying, Then there are still many gamblers who return to gambling, not because they want to recover what they lost in the past. But because it's a habit or it's become a hobby for them,.

If there are others who make it a source of income, we can't do anything about it because it's the only way they see to get money, but the surprising thing is that they find a way to get money so they can gamble.

Guys, gambling's about the rush, right? Incredible excitement, energy, and unpredictability! Yes, losing is frustrating. This is why discipline matters. The finest gamblers have fun without letting losses hold them back. They play smartly within boundaries. Not only the cards you're dealt, but how you play them. Think strategy, self-control. So have fun even when things dont go your way. Finding equilibrium.

Internet, hasnt it revolutionized this game? Made it more accessible. Incredible. greater options mean greater responsibilities. Find the correct locations, recognize the risks, and know when to leave. We're not chasing losses. Exploration, excitement, and enjoyment are key.

In many cases it's far from being funny, to tell the truth. They are asking their friends and relatives for the money, and it starts being annoying at some point. And what is even worse, some of them resort to criminal activity to get money so they can gamble. I always want to say to such people, just take your time to think properly about it, and you'll see that it's not worth it.

They find a way until a certain time when they cannot otherwise find the money anymore and it is this exact moment that changes everything,some resort to illegal activities and some stop and only play when they get some money.The ones who resort to illegal activity we all know how they end up and most of them end up either in jail or even worse dead.That is why I think people need to think before any action they want to achieve and what consequences such act can bring them.

The lower the amount they lose the easier it is for them to move on.

I am not addicted to gambling, I am addicted to a few other things that have nothing to do with money, and I love it, for example online gaming, like PlayStation and multiplayer games? I do this to get me on good mood.

I do this more than using money to gamble online, in fact I get more fun times playing video games than gambling, so having some great times doesn't have to do with money, I wonder how gamblers are getting totally wrecked in gambling.

It is a bad advice for many gamblers when you tell them not to gamble to make money, but this is just the truth, never ever use more than you can see lost when gambling, some amount are better stay the same than losing it all, build less expectations from gambling.

Gambling to make money is actually something that we have probably seen and heard all the time, so many people are starting to get addicted to gambling because of it, there is something wrong with their mindset, why should you gamble to make money when you can just work to make money and don't even have the risk of losing money? But unlike gambling for money, money can be lost and cannot be recovered, although sometimes there are people who try to recover their losses and end up experiencing major defeats and even going bankrupt.

But if people change their mindset to having fun, maybe we won't find many gambling addicts around us, the bad habit of humans is always taking risks just to get big wins without having to see other people playing and losing and even going bankrupt because of gambling, people should aware that a gambler will not be able to win against the bookie let alone win so many bets, that's why gambling should be made for fun and that is good advice compared to bad advice considering gambling as a source of income let alone a place to earn more money or a place to become get rich instantly.

Yes, some players go to Vegas and don't return due to lack of funds. I've read of a man that got to a casino, with his wife just about checking in to the hotel, she received a call from her husband that they'll be going back immediately, he already wagered everything on a slot game. Such experiences also shows how people get carried away during gambling. Gambling is highly addictive, regardless of the settings; online or offline. Online gaming is just an optimized form of gambling that provides the player a casino on his palms, nothing else.

The behaviors and mistakes are similar. It's a modern entertainment I'd admit, because most players also derive fun through online gambling. The wrong aspect of it occurs per player. Generally, to some players, gambling is addictive, and some, it's entertaining. I would add that gambling has its definition embedded on individual players and the definitions are never similar for every gambler. Hence, to me, gambling provides fun and also challenges me to waste time playing games.

       -   In this country, we have noticed that more people have become addicted to online gambling. And it wouldn't have gotten worse if profitable influencers weren't promoted on social media, especially the popular ones or influencers who have millions of followers.

Almost all of them are chronic and have only one goal, and they even openly cheat their viewers and followers. It's okay to gamble online; the only thing that's not good is that minors can see their promotion of online casinos, and then they'll say that they're promoting that there's no loss when you sign up using their referral link.

I think it can be said that they gamble with their own lives, because life in jail is almost like no life, right? And for what? What can be worth putting your life at stake? I mean, there can be such things but money is definitely not one of them. $1 million USD will not make you happy for lifetime. Just google it, there are tons of of evidence for what I'm saying. Isn't it better to risk only what you can afford to lose, like 10-20 cents, and win $100 and enjoy what it can bring you for the day?

Exactly, most influencers promote it on there page with a whole different view of what gambling really is and fake promises, incentives of which we know that minors are often expose to this, seeing such propels them to wanna explore more which if not controlled can lead to disaster. The introduction of online gambling has grown to become worse and worse everyday causing more harm than good, than before when it hasn't spread this way.
