Is gambling addiction mainly due to loneliness and dissatisfaction?

[AjithBtc]

We cannot say loneliness and dissatisfaction the exact reason to get into gambling. From my understanding it is a reason for users to to get into gambling. Also there are several successful people who truly got into gambling to kill loneliness and has earned good through it. Once it happened to me, but I was not much aware about and unable to use the winning as I lost it back shortly.

in Sometimes this will be a true statement because the loneliness will definitely get addicted to something and if you have some money then you will definitely get addicted to gambling investment because it is being made up like that so the guidance is always important in gambling.

Lonely people will find a way to entertain themselves and one of it is through gambling. I think due to loneliness, they tend not to be addicted but it's going to that point that they can't notice that they are already one.

Dissatisfaction, yes for people that aren't contented with what they have earned/won.

Yesterday I watched a video about addiction on youtube: https://youtu.be/ao8L-0nSYzg. It was a real surprise to me that according to recent research people are addicted to drugs mainly because they can't bond well with people and are not able to live a satisfying life. The research shows that when an addicted person appears in a loving and caring environment, the addiction kind of disappears (even heroin addiction). I wonder what are your thoughts on this matter and whether you think you could say the same about gambling addiction.

Well, dissatisfaction is not a new reason for us why people get addicted into playing gambling because they are seeking for more than what they currently have. But loneliness in the other part is new for me and is surprising to know that it can be one of those reason why people get addicted into gambling so I think it is because those people really want just to entertain themselves by playing even they do have have a company of friends just to temporarily forget they are alone. So it is really possible that they are depending their happiness with gambling that is why they have been addicted to it. Good thing that I have lot of friends to bond with so I just treat playing into an online casino as a past time and entertainment enjoying their variety of games as well as enjoying their great deal of bonus for doing my first deposit.

I am also surprised that loneliness is one of the factors why someone gets addicted into playing gambling because mostly, dissatisfaction is really the main reason behind it but since you have discussed why it can be possible, it is now clear to me right now that they are seeking for something that can make them feel happy and entertained which they have found in gambling that is why they tend to rely on it and as a result they got into addiction. I got interested into that bonus you were saying once I have done my first deposit into that online casino you have mentioned above.

Well, indeed. It is really surprising that loneliness is one of the affecting factor why someone gets addicted in playing gambling that based on what I have said is really possible once I have found out that deeply understanding it makes it really possible. Yes the online casino I am currently into do offer bonus reward for doing your firsr deposit as well as you can enjoy playing variety of games in it.

I think the gambling addiction got the other factor which is greed, I never heard people become addicted to gambling because they are lonely, most of the time people become addicted because they are curious why they cant win against the house, some people can't accept losing, and some people want to get rich easily

] I agree, greediness is the very most reason among gamblers that they become addicted. We dont based on the loneliness only or dont believe for that reason. Maybe they trying always just to win easily, and especially seeking for a bigger win, and so they didnt notice anymore that they already addicted in gambling.

[XCANA]

Basically, it's due to dissatisfaction when it come to winnings. Many gamblers are addicted to gambling becasue of their greediness to winnings and at the end needed them in the part of addiction. Dissatisfaction is a cancan-worm that can eat up a gambler faster and definitely land him or her into depression.

Well the same thing could be said about any vice people have such as drinking, smoking or doing drugs.
If someone stays home by themself and drinks alone well then yes this is a sign of loneliness and dissatisfaction.
But what if this person who drinks the same amount but does it at a bar surrounded by women, does this not make them lonely and dissatisfied too
Its all how you perceive it because entertaining yourself with gambling does not sound lonely.

What about those successful people that turns to be a gambling addict?how they become lonely when everything is in their hands?i guess this is different from reality

Those who turns addiction are those people that has weak personalities and find gambling as a escape goat whenever they look for proving they are strong,because gambling has needed luck to win so what they want is to win the game and feel the triumphant moment of him

[uneng]

I don't think the main addiction reasons are loneliness and dissatisfaction, it's just an excuse for addicted people to victimize themselves. There are many cases of addicted gamblers that destroyed their families and patrimony, what means they weren't lonely and if they were dissatisfied having a family and balanced finances, what else could satisfy them?

[monalia]

Loneliness and missing of entertainment might be reason for the great move of gambling. People mostly saying that they want to make the money but truth is they might lonely in their life or entertainment geek who want to explore with the big amount of bets.


Those kind of people are coming to gamble and finally loosing money or one shot jackpot according to their luck.

It's a reality and serious thing for those people who become addicted to escape the reality.

We don't know what they are going with their lives and they've found comfort with gambling.

It is just like drinking alcohol, sometimes not having it on dinner makes it not complete, it is just have to be there. In gambling, it is part of a fun life, where you gotta step beyond boundaries, win or lose everything, excites you through your bones and gives you relaxation that can't be found in other source of happiness.

[rachman mahesa]

Usually what I have ever felt when addicted to gambling is not loneliness or discomfort. But because of victory, with me always winning, of course it will make me want to play continuously in gambling. In fact, winning in gambling is certainly not forever. After that we try to keep winning and ultimately the defeat that we get and also addicted to gambling.

Yes thats always the case that will happen .  your expecting to win all the time because you think you are too lucky before  .  now if you loose and keep on loosing , you still trying again  . this will be the start if mental issues and worst it can lead to addiction  .  but id like to congratulate you because you did manage to win most of the times but idk if you secure winnings and use it on other important stuffs aways from the gambling scene .

That is so true. The time that I am addicted to gambling, whenever I wake up, the plan always includes visiting a gambling site or a casino, it should not be forgotten and even if I forget that to add in schedule, I will be finding a way to walk in a casino. It is hard to stop gambling, I don't know the reason but when  you are in a casino, you feel at home, I feel so comfortable at that time and when I am winning, it is so great, oh the pleasure.

Indeed loneliness can also make him addicted by often playing continuously no matter the victory or important defeat that feels comfortable for him then that's where emotions are very uncontrolled and continuous victory can become addictive, feel confident and after being defeated they will continue to try again and again too , the level of someone's addiction is indeed very different, there is something beyond human reason.

Yesterday I watched a video about addiction on youtube: https://youtu.be/ao8L-0nSYzg. It was a real surprise to me that according to recent research people are addicted to drugs mainly because they can't bond well with people and are not able to live a satisfying life. The research shows that when an addicted person appears in a loving and caring environment, the addiction kind of disappears (even heroin addiction). I wonder what are your thoughts on this matter and whether you think you could say the same about gambling addiction.

Gambling addiction is different from drug addiction in terms of reasoning from someone who is into it. Addiction in gambling is because people are dissatisfied with what they already won in a gambling, and tend to lose it all even if they know they are not winning the game.

I agree, addiction is gambling is more on not being satisfied with their winnings and they tend to become greedy to win more and as a result lose everything. I don't think gamblers gamble because their lonely its just that they've found fun while doing it like myself, don't get me wrong, i'm not an addict but gambling is my favorite past time not because i'm lonely. However, it depends still on the gamblers because we all have different reasons why we gamble.

If you used to play it will be part of your daily life even you're treating it as an entertainment. IMO its not bad to gamble as long as you know your limitation.

Satisfaction is mainly the reason why people keep gamble despite of the fact that its hard to win or its more on luck.

But some gamblers with no contentment tend to be addicted for not thinking the consequences of their action.

That's true when you are gambling you are spending time and you put your minds through it if you don't have someone that you spend time with you will turn to gamble and gambling will take to much of your time and minds, this is where addiction starts, if you want not to get hooked on gambling better have a healthy relationship.

You know what, I believe it is one of the factor. Because whenever I visit some casinos, I often see old people playing slot machines. I am thinking to myself if they are really consistent to play that thing until they win or perhaps they just really killing their time on it. I guess their motive has that both but the factor of loneliness is more likely.

maybe loneliness can be factor when someone have friends, he wouldn't spend time in Casino. Because if we have friends to spend time, we can do other things that can make us enjoy this life.
