4841  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting Features on any Banking or Financial apps should be Removed on: September 13, 2023, 12:19:20 PM
I think it should have a bad effect on everyone. I think it's ridiculous that banking and gambling betting are in the same application.
Yes, for people who are not involved in gambling, there is a chance that they can get involved in gambling in an easier and safer way and maybe become addicted to it.Either they will not use the app or they will not continue on the same path with the bank anymore.
I don't agree about being easily seduced, I'm confident and I can take care of myself, but if there is betting on a bank app, I find something strange about that.
That's very true because people will see that the banking application already has a betting feature so that those who are used to gambling don't need to visit the casino but can use it immediately. But I'm curious what it looks like. Will the bets be directed to a particular site that collaborates with the bank or will the bank have bets on interesting things? Maybe @OP can explain what kind of betting feature a bet so we can know it more clearly. But if you look at the picture included by @OP, it looks like it's a bet using chips. Is it a card game? Hm, this makes me curious hahaha.
4842  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the Difference Between Plying Gambling on Online Sites and Real Casinos? on: September 13, 2023, 11:55:30 AM
In my experience biggest difference is what they serve to you. In physical casinos they keep giving free food and drinks to you to make you keep on gambling. Atmosphere is so good your mood gets better. Especially lights and sound effects. Online casinos generally give you extras too but physical ones are sometimes better at it. But I still love how its comfortable to gamble at home at online casino. You miss some extras but in general its perfect experience.
Everything free will certainly be very enjoyable for gamblers focused on gambling. This can make them continue gambling and lose track of time. It is a strategy issued by casinos to see that many gamblers continue to gamble and do not take a break. But of course, it will be different from what people get when they gamble at online casinos because maybe they also get the comfort of gambling at home. Gamblers also pay attention to the issue of comfort in gambling and so far, they already know which ones they can choose for gambling. And they can also play at online and offline casinos to get more experience than others.
4843  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Big capital, small risk or small capital big risk - which is best approach? on: September 13, 2023, 11:38:54 AM
I choose to gamble with small bets because I do not chase wins but just for fun. I have gambled using big bets, but it was very painful when I lost because my money was greatly reduced. Since then, I have used small bets when I want to gamble because it allows me to reduce the losses. I also don't gamble for long because it would be like experiencing a big loss if all my losses were added.

Everything has its own risks and it depends on each gambler. In gambling, we have to use the money we can afford and if a gambler bets with big money, it means he can risk losing a lot. But he also has a chance to win a lot and maybe he thinks it's worth a try.
4844  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A weird belief among some gamblers. on: September 13, 2023, 10:31:11 AM
And that will just mean that we're only in for the money and not the package that should comes with it if we play and bet on our own because if we're only gambling to follow other people's bets then where's the fun in that? That's not an entertainment to me anymore as it will just be a boring one as you have already put your fate in other people's hand without going through the struggle and fun in obtaining the data needed to provide a possible outcome.
That's right and it's best if they don't gamble because we won't have fun. Maybe they can find out other people's choices, but that is just information and they still conduct their own analysis to find their choices or compare the data they have so they know which one to choose. And if they really don't know which one to choose but know other people's choices, it comes down to their decision. But at least they know the risks they will get. But it seems that if someone else follows someone's choice, he probably won't place too big a bet, especially if he doesn't know the other person well. He may feel worried because he only follows other people's choices and not because of his own analysis.
4845  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Behaviours of gamblers you dislike. on: September 13, 2023, 10:07:24 AM
I don't like people after losing gambling. They take their anger out on friends, family, and work. They are so selfish. I hate people like that. In life, they seem to have no responsibility for what they cause. They think doing so will put their mind at ease. But that's wrong. They are gradually ruining their lives with those small sadnesses. Lost money can be earned back. I just hope they can master themselves in this gambling game.
There are some gamblers who fail to control themselves after losing. Those gamblers try to blame others for their gambling failures. Some are anxious themselves, even if they don't directly blame themselves. As a result, they do not maintain good relations with family, friends and relatives. But not everyone does this. We can gamble but we should gamble with money such money that losing will not affect the personal life of the gambler. Only they should remember that winning and losing both are part of gambling so one should not expect only win they should ready for loss.
That is a normal thing that happens to some people who fail to control themselves. His emotions became high after experiencing consecutive defeats until he finally ran out of money and his still high emotions were vented on the people around him. Those like that really have to learn self-control more seriously so as not to have a negative impact on the people around them. They should not blame other people for their losses because it is their own fault. Because if they can stop in time, they will not experience a losing streak and can still save their money to use another day. If they are still unwilling to learn self-control, they will only have the same experience without being able to control themselves.
4846  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has your Responsible Gambling had any of these Effects on You? on: September 13, 2023, 09:24:04 AM
That kind of people should stop and avoid gambling. If they have found a job and continue to gamble, this will only make them addicted to gambling even deeper. And if ever they make money in gambling, the ending will always be the same and those winning will surely lose in gambling. Most of the time, gamblers without any other source of income do not have any other idea where to get money once they experience winning.
That means whether they get a job or not get a job, they must be able to stop gambling because they will still return to gambling. They will just get addicted to gambling and it will get worse. If they can make money from gambling, that money will be used to double their profits but it will not be easy because once they win, they will find it difficult to win again. They should know that making money from gambling is not easy and if they gamble too often, they can develop a gambling addiction and that will affect their family. Maybe later, his family's finances will be disrupted and this will cause problems.

I agree, that instead of having a better life, they only give problems to themselves. Financially stress can become the reason for the breakdown of a person. People who experience that think differently and it makes their family worried. If they don't have the capability to provide for their gambling habit, better to stop and find a job.
They are just experiencing loss when gambling can cause stress, especially when they don't have the money to meet their needs. It will be even more difficult and for this reason, people still thinking about making money from gambling should be able to divert their minds to looking for work and stop gambling. Gambling will not give them money, instead, it will give them a lot of losses. So they should be aware and stop gambling.
4847  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Still not a safe practice even if it works on: September 13, 2023, 08:59:26 AM
Yes, even though there are many big sites that allow the use of VPN, other than that it is used for the right things and problems, for example the site is blocked by the government and prohibits access to gambling sites so you need a VPN to access it, I don't think that will be a problem as long as the use is correct. although I'm not a VPN user I think in support of it all it seems that VPN use should not be an issue in any casino.

If casinos really want to get more visitors and users, they have to open the gate, because not all countries can access gambling sites easily, sometimes there are governments that block gambling sites, so the use of VPN should be excluded so that they can get active gamblers throughout world. but if there is a casino that makes it difficult it should be abandoned.
However, users should ensure that the casino allows users to use VPN because otherwise, it will only cause problems. For this reason, users can ask the support service about VPN usage problems or even send an email to the casino to find out the VPN usage status. If they allow it, it means users can freely use a VPN but should use a paid VPN to reduce IP usage from many people simultaneously.

The casino allows those from countries on its blacklist to visit its casino and gamble. But for those from countries on the blacklist, the casino strictly prohibits them from visiting the casino. There may be a special policy from the casino so that the casino completely prohibits them from visiting its casino and is not allowed to gamble in its casino. Maybe there are separate regulations from the regulator so that casinos must comply with them, but that will not reduce the number of visitors from other countries.
4848  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Learning from those who have experience on: September 13, 2023, 08:16:57 AM
Yes, this can be due to a lack of responsibility and also maybe they are not strict enough with all the boundaries that they have previously set up, oh yes in my opinion, especially if they have a personality that is easily provoked or provoked by something that makes them emotional so they are very likely to get caught there. I think they have realized that they are addicted and I am sure they also want to stop or get out of the addiction zone but well maybe you also know or have felt how it is there, it is very difficult to get out of gambling addiction my friend, the brain and mind are like something is taking over, honestly I have felt it. Asking for professional help maybe it can, but I don't think it will work because professionals are still the same gamblers who can even do things they don't want at all. But I think a good alternative to quitting or quitting the addiction is maybe you can find a new hobby that is just as fun but without the risk, you can find an activity like adding a job maybe, because slowly I think you will be able to forget about gambling.

Yes that's right, basically it's very difficult, but if they really want to stop then there must be ways they can do it, don't just talk through words but start with action, that's all I think.
A lack of responsibility will clearly cause a person to be unable to stick with the boundaries he has created so that he thinks it is okay to violate his boundaries once or twice. But it turns out that will only make them violate their boundaries more often than they thought. They will be easily provoked just by seeing the attractive offers issued by the casino so they return to gambling and this time, they use even more money. Yes, I have felt it and know it is very difficult to get out of your comfort zone in gambling. This comfort zone in gambling must be decided so that we can get out of the endless circle and start to leave gambling without feeling forced slowly. And even if we feel forced to, we really have to do it to reduce our gambling activities until we finally stop gambling completely.

We just have to keep trying to do it and because we already have the desire to reduce gambling activities, we have the thought of starting something new or creating a new activity that we will use to divert our minds. We have to start with real action and it's okay if we still can't turn our thoughts about gambling completely because we are still in the learning stage. But we have to keep trying so that we can really reduce gambling activities.

Involving a professional is not always necessary, the most important thing is for an addicted person to accept their addiction and acknowledge the fact that they are in a problem and they need someone's help to get out of it, and then someone from their closed ones like friends and family members can help them with that by finding activities that they like and keeping them engaged with those activities and also not leaving them alone at any given time.

If they are trying to cure someone's addiction and then they leave them alone for very long, the addict will most probably start gambling again once they get lonely and when they see that there is no one to stop them. So, it's important that there is at least one person who is always around the addicted person.
If a gambling addict can accept his addiction and try to heal it with someone or several people close to him, maybe it can be done well so that the gambling addict does not need to go to a professional. That would be better so it would reduce the cost of consulting a professional. But, gambling addicts must try hard to reduce their addiction and even stop gambling. He needs to find a new activity and start it with people who help him take his mind off thinking about gambling. This distraction is necessary because it blocks the desire to gamble so that he can focus on doing his new activity with the people who help him.

If the gambling addict does not regularly engage in new activities, there is a possibility that he will return to the casino again, especially if he still has free time. He will only pay attention to gambling but over time, there will be a desire to start gambling again and that's when he will gamble again. And if he experiences a gambling addiction again, maybe it will be more difficult to help him because he feels that the help this time will be the same as before. People who want to help him have to try hard to persuade him to want to do his activities again and this time, they have to be really serious about doing it together.

Each person does have that different level of tolerance or on how they would really be dealing up with things accordingly basing up on what they do understand and at the same time they are really that making use

of their common sense. It is really just that impossible that you cant really be able to realize or know or sees up on whatever things that you are dealing with and not to make out those kind of advanced assessment on whatever things that could possibly be happening basing up on the actions that you had made. Some people do completely stop mid way and there are some who had been able to realize but still that ignore
and tolerate out on what they are currently been experience which it is really the main cause on why these things do really happen to them specially if they are really that on the verge of addiction but
still decided on continuing despite of those non good looking things happening.

People would immediately be making out those realizations on the time that they do really be able to see that they dont have money to be able to pull out on their pockets.
This is the only time or the most common one on which you would really be able to see and realized that you should have stopped earlier.
For people who are addicted to gambling, they will not be able to realize what has happened to them. For this reason, other people in their environment or around them need to open themselves up and show the gambling addict that they have actually experienced a gambling addiction and even that the gambling addiction has reached a serious stage. If, after being shown by other people, there is awareness within the gambling addict to want to try to cure his gambling addiction, then other people can come in and start helping him. Without that, other people don't come in and ask him to start trying to cure his gambling addiction because there are only rejections from the gambling addict and he will say I'm not addicted to gambling and I'm still fine. But if the gambling addict can realize his mistake and wants to correct it by asking for help from others, his level of recovery will probably be higher than that of a gambling addict who doesn't want to do anything other than just gambling.

Everything will start with being aware of what has happened to him. If they can get help from the people closest to them, coupled with a strong desire to cure their gambling addiction and stop gambling, they will be able to recover and get a second chance. They will try their best to cure their gambling addiction because they have seen its impact on them.
4850  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Importance of Gambling to the society on: September 13, 2023, 07:22:28 AM
Well, most countries that have gambling allow for the general public, and there are a lot of land-based casinos. The government wouldn't actually use the tax money for their own benefit because such nations are mostly developed and the government doesn't really need to do any corruption to survive or fill their own pockets and this is the reason why such nations prosper compared to those where the government is busy filling their own bank accounts instead.

Small nations or third-world countries are basically what face such issues most of the time because politicians and government in such countries only cares for itself instead of thinking about the country or the people and working for the betterment of the country, they just keep hoarding money.
Our thinking will be like that. But as the saying goes, "money smells good, so everyone who smells it wants to have it" will make people who know about the huge tax money want to own a small piece of it. And even though they are in a big country, that doesn't guarantee they won't commit corruption unless there is very strict supervision of every official who handles money matters. Maybe they are still corrupt but they also help with economic problems through tax money and other things so it won't cause significant economic problems.

Third world countries and other countries can also commit corruption, especially if their politicians or officials do not pay attention to what their people need and are only busy with their own interests. They are the ones who will hinder economic growth in their country because they cannot work well according to their position. So if the tax money from gambling can be used for the benefit of the people, the condition of a country will be better and the country will have the opportunity to develop for the better.

Everybody is already getting used to the habit of these damn politicians that only care about feeding their fat bellies and their family but very soon their cups will get filled, I already see that we have similar government issues, due to the government's failure to invest in the society there are many lacks, and even the infrastructure is poor everything is poor since the removal of subsidy is mad hike in the price of transportation and other commodities in my region, and instead of them providing other means they act as they do not care and they are acting above the law and people can not speak for there right.
That's because things like that have happened in many places, hindering the country from developing. We have seen politicians play happily without thinking about the fate of their suffering people, who lack food. At the same time, they take money that should be given to the people by providing public facilities and public services. But because those up there took everything, the facilities failed to operate and disrupted the country's economy. The money collected through taxes should have been used for many things, including paying the state's debts, but this was not done well and the state instead had to increase its debt again. It's very sad to see, especially if you pay attention to politicians and officials who abuse their power just for personal gain.
4851  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do anyone have done this? with gambling platforms on: September 13, 2023, 06:41:52 AM
Current gamblers are sometimes too lazy to read and even consider email like a pile of rubbish and never use their email properly. Fortunately, I am one of those who always check every incoming email every day because I work on the internet, so sometimes I just place one tab on the browser. for emails, so when an email comes in, for example from a casino, some kind of update on their rules and requirements, I definitely understand it.

But sometimes it is also necessary to notify users on each of their accounts because sometimes not many people have time to check their email all the time, but they may access their account to gamble so the casino should also provide some kind of warning for users to agree to after reading it and then log in to the account , this is what big casinos often do when I log in to my casino account, a notification appears and I read it then agree after which I am redirected to the account to gamble. that's a better way.
It may not be necessary to check email every day because the most important thing is that we can check email regularly to know if there are any updates from the casino or other updates. This is to help us immediately check our gambling account for any updates from the casino so we won't experience any problems later. Yes, your method of placing one tab in the browser to always open email could be a solution so that we don't miss a single incoming email and we can check it immediately.

The casino will also provide notifications on each member's gambling account so that they can immediately check for any updates related to the casino. And not just about the rules but about other things that casinos do. Usually, for promotions, the casino sends an email once a week or two weeks so that its members can participate in the promotion. So when we know if there are rules that have changed, we will be more alert so that if we can win a big win with a small bet, we know what to do. And if we withdraw the money, we don't need to do KYC. That will be a gift for us.
4852  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: September 13, 2023, 05:43:33 AM
Yes, always think positively by using a healthy mindset, for example, as it is said, don't chase victory too much, just play wisely and enjoy the game, because when people gamble responsibly, especially using a healthy mindset, such gamblers will know when it's their time. will gamble and when is the time for him to stop gambling, the point is to always limit yourself and also limiting your budget is very important in gambling.

I also do this so that I don't gamble too deeply or too far, let alone go beyond the limits of a normal gambler, there is nothing we can't control, gambling must also be done with one's own desires and self-control, because other people may not. can stop us if it has become a habit and become an addict.
You must always remember these wise words to avoid gambling addiction. And by always remembering this, we try to be responsible gamblers so that we won't be tempted by anything while gambling. A healthy mindset will also help us know when we should stop gambling and not gamble excessively. And it is true that we must always limit the funds we use for gambling so that we will experience a lot of losses.

By maintaining the limits, we can enjoy gambling as we should and will not chase after winnings, especially if we have already managed to get the win. We will feel satisfied with what we have and will not think about continuing to gamble if we have enough gambling. But if we have become an addict, it will be difficult to overcome it or even cure it unless we have a very strong idea of curing gambling addiction, then we can start the healing process.
4853  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting Features on any Banking or Financial apps should be Removed on: September 13, 2023, 05:14:39 AM
Anything in excess is not good. Not only is gambling bad, but even those who love to shop online can be negatively affected if a banking application includes shopping features. They might lose control of managing their funds.

The problem is that some people immediately view gambling as a bad or illegal thing when, in fact, its purpose is only to entertain people, similar to the concept of shopping online where you spend and enjoy.
We must always remember this so we don't get too good at anything because it's not good for us. And if it is gambling, we must always be able to manage funds for gambling so that we don't experience bad losses. And if a betting feature exists in his banking application, he can be even more wasteful in using his money. He couldn't save like before because he now had other places to use his money through betting.

It's normal for people to think that gambling is bad or illegal because they have seen what happens to people who gamble. Brands see the bad impacts experienced by these people, so they think gambling can have bad consequences for their lives. And that's true if people don't have good self-control when gambling. But especially for people who can control themselves, gambling is not bad but rather entertainment for them in their spare time.

The main impact of this problem is that someone who has an account on the banking application will never be able to save and that is certain, even if he is a beginner who is not yet familiar with gambling, in the end he will also be tempted to try even though novice gamblers are more susceptible to addiction because they are more curious. to keep trying to want big wins from gambling.
Furthermore, the impact of the gambling feature in the banking application will certainly mislead someone into continuing to gamble even though everyone must have self-control and responsibility, but out of 1000 people, only 1 person has very strong self-control and that is a fact.
It won't be that easy for us to go to the bank to ask to remove this feature because banks usually add this feature with approval from the state so if they have to remove this feature the bank cannot do so unless it has approval from the state.
So, it is clear that a banking application with a betting feature can have a bad impact on someone who, even if he doesn't know about gambling, can start gambling. He can directly deposit his money to a bookie or online site via his banking application without considering what will happen to him and his money. The impact of gambling will be even worse if he does not have good self-control because he can deposit his money again when he loses and do this immediately in just a short time.

It's not easy to go to the bank to ask to remove this feature, but at least we've tried it and we'll see how the bank responds. And if the bank has not removed this feature within a month or two, maybe we can look for another bank and start moving all the money from that bank to another bank. We don't want to experience bad events because of this betting feature; therefore, we must anticipate it. Many other banks still don't have such a feature unless we are too lazy to move to another bank.
4854  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How will you feel if it happens to you just like this? on: September 13, 2023, 04:45:24 AM
as I said before, every gambler has a different level of luck and you can understand that, but unfortunately this is not about who is lucky but more about the level of luck that each gambler bases on.

well, sometimes the gambler himself prevents big wins from coming to him. that I mean is that at that time the gambler had already won a big win, but he felt like a failure after he got the win, he did not stop gambling, instead he continued to hope for a bigger win, and thats a ridiculous habit of a gambler that is still carried out to this day.
and I think the existence of the thread of win limits or loss limits that I just visited makes us always remember that we must always be aware of how gambling works which is stressful. we have to plan loss limits and win limits to avoid being too wasteful in gambling because if we dont have that plan I am sure every day will be an unlucky day because you always lose.
That's true and has happened to many gamblers who have achieved big wins but because they continue gambling in the hope of getting another big win, they end up experiencing big losses. It will be an unpleasant experience where they should be able to get a big win and now enjoy it but can't because of their own greed. Even though they rarely get big wins, when they do, they don't stop but continue gambling.

That shouldn't happen if they have clear boundaries and especially should have strong self-control so that they know themselves and can stop immediately after getting that big win. And if later we are given the opportunity to get that big win, we must remember that it is time for us to stop gambling and immediately withdraw the winnings before everything changes. If it changes, we will only regret it.
4855  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has your Responsible Gambling had any of these Effects on You? on: September 12, 2023, 12:17:10 PM
Poor people gamble with the hope that they might get a life-changing amount from their gambling activities since that will change their lives forever. That is the reason why they usually gamble despite not having a lot of money because that hope never dies, especially if you know that it is the only thing that gives you some hope for a change in your life and there is no other way for you to get a lot of money and get a better life for yourself and your family.

However, I don't recommend anyone this thing because gambling is not something that provides riches to almost everyone. So if there are a million poor people gambling, only a few out of them might manage to get something significant from it and others will simply be wasting their money.
If they keep gambling without trying to find another job and only rely on gambling, they will probably lose even more money because gambling is not for making money. It may be necessary to provide people with an understanding of the long-term impacts of gambling so that they can slowly leave gambling and look for other sources of income. They put their families at risk when they cannot earn money from gambling.

We will never recommend them or anyone who wants to earn money through gambling because we have seen many impacts on people who gamble. We advise these people to look for more promising jobs rather than gambling. They should also realize that gambling is not a way to make money.
4856  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting Features on any Banking or Financial apps should be Removed on: September 12, 2023, 11:41:58 AM
If I see that there is such a betting system in the bank application, I will cut off my relationship with my bank and start working with another bank. I think that this is actually an innovation made to put it in my eyes and attract my mind, and I think that they have tried every way to make money and that they have brought such an innovation for this. If I can't have myself, that is, if I succumb to my emotions, I easily have the chance to bet here and this would be an event that would make me bet continuously. The purpose of this is not to deal with loading money to sites and giving commissions, they must have done it to get that money and commission directly themselves.
But this innovation can have a bad impact on customers, especially those who gamble frequently or have never gambled at all. This will arouse curiosity for those who have never gambled, especially if the customer already has money in their bank account. Yes, I will also immediately look for another bank that doesn't have a betting feature like that so I won't be tempted to try it. Those who see the betting feature on their banking app should visit the bank and ask them to delete the app as it could disturb them when they want to make transactions. We are just being on guard against all the possibilities that could happen because we are human beings who are easily tempted.
4857  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Do You Manage Your Adrenaline Rush In Gambling? on: September 12, 2023, 11:16:04 AM
If that happened to me, I would immediately stop gambling and close my browser and if necessary, I would turn off the computer or laptop. And I will rest by drinking coffee or water to reduce the adrenaline. So far, that's what I've always done if my adrenaline starts to rise but thankfully, that doesn't happen too often to me.

After resting, I will sleep to forget what I experienced in gambling. And usually, when I wake up, I completely forget about my defeat last night and it doesn't affect me at all. Maybe it was a bit difficult to do in the past, but I still tried because I didn't want gambling to influence me and tempt me to continue gambling.

Gambling is perilous; don't be swayed by enormous bonuses; all of them are intended to induce one to participate in the concept of gambling, which is entirely at our own personal risk. Social media platforms Influencers have no business conveying the excruciating message they are, as long as they continue to make their cool cash after being paid for online advertising connected to these gambling websites, they're done. We owe ourselves enormous responsibility to take care of ourselves and pay our bills without depending on anybody to do them for us.
Mostly, people who watch the streamers or listen to the influencers that stream their gambling activities or talk about gambling are basically people who are already involved in gambling, and they just enjoy how these people gamble because they are given free recharge by the casinos that they are advertising so that they can make people see how good that particular casino is and if they manage to hit a big win, those who are watching will get tempted.

So, I believe that a person doesn't get addicted to gambling only because they are following a certain influencer on social media or they are watching a streamer on YouTube, but they get addicted because they don't have enough self-control and they can't control their urge for gambling.
The job of influencers is to make people interested in gambling. That's why influencers continue to make videos about their gambling games and they even broadcast them live when they gamble. They get paid by the casino because the influencer helps promote the casino so the casino can get more customers. And those struggling to stop gambling may return to gambling, especially if they are tempted by seeing the winnings made by their influencers. It can shake the self-control of people who want to stop gambling. Only those who can control themselves will not be influenced by anything influencers give.

And for those who really want to stop their gambling addiction, they are not allowed to watch shows from influencers. They better stick with their plan to cure their gambling addiction so that they are truly cured. Gambling addicts who want to recover from their gambling addiction truly must be able to control themselves by distancing themselves from things related to gambling. Otherwise, they can easily return to gambling.

AFAIK, some casinos strictly prohibit the usage of VPNs on their websites. However, in most cases, it is only prohibited when attempting to mask the real location for illegal purposes.

The risk is that you will most likely be asked for KYC verification in order for the casino to confirm your identity and the source of your funds. But if you pass it, I see no issue with using a VPN during your gambling sessions on any of the sites you mentioned.

Obviously, everyone is prohibited from using VPN to conceal your real location, but I don't see any point using VPN other than for that specific reason. Well, I know VPN could protect you from some sort of digital attack, but If you don't have anything really important from your device or if it has not store massive amount of data or any financial information, I don't see any point using it, you are just taking the risk of you getting your casino account being investigated for using VPN as most casinos does not advise it.
If they can find a casino that allows VPN use, of course, they can freely use VPN. But usually, casinos prohibit it and it is written in the rules so that users who hide their real location cannot use VPN unless they ask permission from the casino first.

If they want to protect their data from digital attacks, they can use other devices because it will not impact their data. Those who stick with VPNs are taking a risk with their gambling accounts because the casino can find out easily and may take necessary action.

I wonder why they still intend to gamble in casinos that prohibit the use of VPNs. Why don't they look for a casino that won't give them a hard time if they use a VPN? Maybe they need to think about this because it will relate to their gambling account later. And the casino will ask them to do KYC if they find out about using the VPN.

Such an addictive mindset next time will win, but they do not realize that the game will be the same and the loss will be greater but this is what they do not realize.

Exactly that kind of thinking. However, when I win a bet in football, I feel very happy but do not realize that I have experienced a losing streak and can even say this is a bad day.
Actually there are too many defenses about it, wherever it will win or lose my defense is for fun, no money is really expected here in terms of income.
Winning and losing is guaranteed in the system. Addictive mindsets in gambling will only land a gambler in problem, we should focused more of our time exploring our knowledge about the system, the sectors that favours us and the ones that don't. That would served as immense aides to our struggling and solved them. Successful gamblers are addicts because they focused most of their time on the activities that generate incomes for them, which is not a wrong thing to do. We ought to give 100% time basically on the steams that foot in our bills for us, because it's definitely a rough path down here.
Unfortunately, each gambler will have this addictive mindset when they start to gamble more often and win. Their minds will focus on achieving victory, which is not easy. Maybe we can say that successful gamblers are addicts, but we also have to remember that successful gamblers can have healthier thoughts than most gamblers. Successful gamblers, even though they are addicted, can still control their addiction well and will even use their abilities to avoid excessive gambling addiction. The system in the casino is just a system that will give us a win or loss so everything will depend on us as gamblers. If we want to avoid losing a lot, we have to know when we should stop and not, based on how many wins we have to achieve, before we stop gambling.
