What will the gambling addicts do now that the casinos have closed?

[kawetsriyanto]

the answer is always simple, do other mediums.

You are right, the answer is quite simple and clear enough. We all know there are many other alternatives, and I think the most appropriate alternative is playing online gambling. The activity will be the same, the games seem relatively the same. So, the addicts will still enjoy gambling games almost like they play in physical gambling places.

It is true, there are so many alternatives that they can do but the most efficient way for them is to play online gambling. Though it might be different from the vibe they feel when they are inside the gambling house but the activity is indeed the same.

What will most gambling addicts do when they can no longer gamble at casinos, and what do you think they'll do when the casinos reopen in several months from now? Will most of them be finally cured of their gambling addiction, or will most of them return to their old ways?

Well some will go to online casinos, some will just gamble with their reachable friends and of course some will stop. I think it has a positive effect to those gamblers that are addicted on playing. Since they have no other choice but to stay at home, they also have no choice but to stop gambling. At least they will have time to their family. Each day that passes without gambling, they may realize that still there's life without gambling.

so far it is only the best way to do online casino or online gambling because if visiting a gambling place will have the effect of transmitting the corona virus to spread and become active again, for the sake of suppressing this spread it is better to stay at home and enjoy it with your family.

I am pretty much sure that addicts have shifted to o line casinos and are busy spending a lot of thier time infront of their computer. Those who are not computer savvy might have tried learning on how to use them?

Many of these addicts might not be happy on how these online gambling sites operate, some I am pretty sure are totally confused with the interface.

The closing of the casino is not a problem for gambling players.
as long as the internet is still there, all that can be done by playing online gambling.  Especially lately a lot of online gambling is promoted in this forum, we just look for online gambling what we want to play.
Maybe what will become a problem for gambling players who are addicted is the absence of the internet when a lockdown applies like this.

Internet wouldn't be included for the lockdown, and yet this was advised by the government that the connection will be extended until such time the community quarantine will be over. However, the gambling addicts who been rehabilitated for this time on physical casino will have to do the options been mentioned like doing certain virtual casino. Online gambling is the best alternative which I think prevent several people to use their fiat money diverted into digital currency efficiently. It's more fun and can be enjoyed at home without sacrificing themselves of being contracted with the said transmittable corona virus.

As far as I know, a big part of gambling addicts that play in land-based casinos never gamble online for various reasons. One of them is that they "don't trust the Internet"(this especially refers to older guys, 50+). Another one is that they are addicted to the  environment, or the "aura", of physical casinos. Online gambling can't satisfy such people, because it's a pretty different experience.

You are right, in my place also some people do not want to play online gambling, there is no real casino.  People here when betting football usually collect cash to third parties, and if the winner has been found then the third party gives cash to the winner, here I often find gambling like that.

[jhonjhon]

The pandemic won't stop them either because of its sure that they will find a way to have their pleasure.
The casino is close but we have online games where they could still gamble. It is probably that they are switching now into online gambling and even having this outbreak, this could never help them to realize their doings.

Hm, interesting. Do they charge anything for escrowing the money? I thought those kinds of bets were a thing of the past. But if gambling is prohibited completely in your place, it's possible, I guess. True gamblers will always find a way.

Regarding the question in the title, we'll know the answer in a year, when the stats for 2020 will be available.

As you may know, casinos all over the United States and the world have begun closing their doors to slow down the spread of the Coronavirus. While this has taken a financial toll on casinos, cafes, restaurants and hotels, etc, it has put the kibosh on problem gambling or at least made a serious dent in the lives of hopeless gambling addicts.

What will most gambling addicts do when they can no longer gamble at casinos, and what do you think they'll do when the casinos reopen in several months from now? Will most of them be finally cured of their gambling addiction, or will most of them return to their old ways?

This is a common or a frequently asked question during this pandemic. And the answer is always simple, do other mediums. There are a lot of ways to play casino-like games and simulations, and even you smartphone can play casino/poker with a real life money betting involved. There are numerous simulations of casinos and gambling that whenever you searched for gambling or casino in any SEOs, there will always be an advertisement that offers an online platform. Addiction isn't simply on the physical one, it is also addiction to the satisfaction those Gambling addicts feel every time they play.

The gambling addicts does not have much issues by the lock down of gambling casinos. They can play the same games through online gambling so practically nothing is changed for them. The only exception will be those who do not have their own computer or internet at home.

Right since although not all prefer to gamble online but nI will agree with you that true gamblers will find ways since for sure they will miss the feelings to bet on their favorite games especially if they play poker and its available online so might they will give a shot especially now a days gamblers are at home bored from things inside their houses.

Here in India, some of the casinos are operating illegally (first of all, casinos are banned everywhere in India, except a few rare exceptions such as Goa. So even before the COVID 19 epidemic, they were operating without a license). The cops have raided a couple of such illegal casinos and arrested dozens of people who were indulging in gambling. I guess hardcore gamblers are taking this risky step, as they don't find online gambling exciting enough.

[BayAreaCoins]

We have seen a big increase in players through our comp systems on FreeBitcoins.com.

[Lorence.xD]

If I were to put myself in the shoes of a gambling addict, I will probably find a way to get my fix, checking online casinos to play, and watching poker matches or playing poker matches. I do not think that there will be gamblers who will be rehabilitated because they will be finding a way to gamble. Nothing beats professional help that will surely help this people and do not forget that there will gambling operations that are illegal and are ready to operate and surely will attract flocks of people, this is not an individual problem, this is societal problem.

That's the problem to those who are really addicted to this business, they are willing to take the risk even they are risking their own life, with covid spread out and those people are still doing this illegal act, probably it's the evidence that they are really engaged and addicted to gambling. t's better to take care of your life instead of continuing to seek for possible place to continue gambling and risk your life as the virus still out there.

They should be reminded that crowded place such as casino is totally prohibited. Well they do deserved to be jail or pay any fine for doing so. People nowadays cant really control themselves with regards to gambling addiction. They should push themselve that online gambling site is the alternative for their daily gambling routine. Well if thats not enough then its their own problem already.

Not really much choice on OP's question but do online or yet just totally stop.

right, I think they will not be free from gambling addiction. because of the coronavirus epidemic, casino is stop. even many cities are locked down due this coronavirus. but who are addicted on gambling, they obviously will try find another way to gamble. maybe they will play online or try to go to the casino in a dishonest way.

Sooner or later, those people will found a way to use the internet to continue playing gambling, but they cannot bet at the sports because all of the sporting events are cancel without an unknown time when it will reschedule. Or they still come to one place to play gambling without thinking about the warning from their government. If that happens, then their government should be worry if the infected people will increase because they don't stay in their homes but going to one place.

I guess they can't wait for the lockdown to be over so they've taken the risk already and still gamble on the casinos who are operating right now even though it is illegal already.

This shows just how addiction in gambling can do. There are some reasons why they are doing this. One is that they want to be enjoyed and to have some entertainment as they are always gamble, their mind has been set to a mindset that they must gamble whatever happens to complete their day. Another is that probably some of them see gambling as a way to get profits to buy anything they need so they took the risk and went there even though social distancing is imposed. Another is that they don't see online gambling that enjoyable so they choose to go to a casino and since they are addicted into it already, they can risk anything just to gamble.

The worst part is that by visiting those illegal casinos during the quarantine they are not only risking their own lives, but also the lives of many others. They might be not killed by the virus themselves, but older people around them have big chances of being the victims. In short, going to illegal casinos is manyfold more irresponsible today than it was previously. If they don't like online gambling, it's fine, they can stop gambling completely, at least for time of the quarantine, but they surely have no excuses for visiting crowded underground casinos these days.

It is most likely they are getting bored by now or they are probably having room to Gamble online and feel comfortable with. May others will think that they are stopping( I hope they will) but probably they won't. Gambling addicts won't find their comfort zone if they can't gamble and I believe that they have to find a way in order to please themselves as the crisis continue.
