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

[yazher]

Some people I personally know are voluntarily helping the front liners to help some delivery of foods and supplies. Some are just stuck in their homes and imagining some strategies when the world returns back to normal. as of now, every game is stopped and we can't do something about it.
I was looking forward to seeing some alternative thing to do, I found playing online games is not that bad because players are returning because of this pandemic.

For sure casinos in Las Vegas are now closed because of the lockdown, but I'm sure that the gamblers there are finding ways in order to spend their money.

If they are in US, they have no choice but to follow the directives of quarantine, and yes Las Vegas is closed, the only big casino that is open is in Macau China, but I doubt the situation is normal, I'm sure people are sitll afraid of the virus.

I know that they are also aware to online gambling sites and casinos and they are using it in order to kill their boredom. Those gambling addicts will find ways in order to gamble their money because it is now became their lifestyle.

Their option now are online gambling, they have to learn if they haven't tried it yet since not all gamblers are aware how to play online.

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?

~~~~  Many gambling addicts will regret their staying at home due to this pandemic that forces the government to banned movement to enforce stay at home policy.

You're right about this, with the recent stay at home actually made me lose something big to a gamble platform which wasn't meant to be use for gamble but unfortunately I found myself gambling with the fund and its just disappeared with a twinkling of an eye. This can be tracked to my boredom at home during this self compulsory quarantine period. Frankly saying, am not an addicts but was surprise to see myself falling into what I cautioned many against. I regretted my actions against my greediness which landed me to such great loose that I have never expected in my gambling life. Though, it just a lesson for me and others.

I guess maybe some of the popular online gambling sites would see an increase in traffic to their sites, as some gamblers who have never gamble online before are starting to find an alternative way to gamble. Since there are so many online crypto-currencies gambling sites still operating as usual, it would not be difficult for gamblers to find alternative choices for their entertainment.

Overcoming gambling addiction is difficult, it takes time and effort to manage that's why it depends on the mindset of the gambler. They can only resolve their gambling issues if they allow themselves because they are the only person who can make themselves realize how gambling change their lives. There's still a huge possibility that they will continue gambling when casino's are already open just to achieve the satisfaction that they desire.

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.

Actually this is really serious dent but at some point this gives them chance to find their true wanting in life that has been hindered because of gambling addiction so maybe some addicts will change route after this pandemic ends.

What will most gambling addicts do when they can no longer gamble at casinos,

They can still play in casino but thru Online  only because real casinos are closed now.

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?

Since they are addicted?for sure the first thing they will do is to find open casino and satisfy their desire for long time of quarantine .

Many cities are locked down for the coronavirus issues. So, as usual casinos are closed. At this time, we can't play gambling in casino but the guy who really loves gambling or addicted on it he obviously finds another way to play. Another way for this crucial moment is online gambling. Though it is not much interesting as like as real casino but in online we can play gambling at any time we want and it is safe cause we haven't go outside. We can stay at home and play. So, if all casino were stopped for a month that haven't a big issue because we have many online gambling websites.

At the present situation that we are in where all businesses are close and we are confined to our home, our main concern should be how to get this virus contained, and getting the latest updates on what's happening around us, around our country and around the world if you are
not bothered at all you can play games or gambling online but be aware of what's happening around you.

You should value your life instead of thinking of other things, gambling house are just there you can think about it after the virus best to keep away first from gambling and use your resources to much betting things to do. It's a good chance to workout and build some muscles out..

[jademaxsuy]

The obvious choice that gambling addicts do is to gamble in an online gambling casino if that gambling addict knows about it. Most people even bettors don't have a choice but to gamble on casino since sportsbook are on halt because there is no match going on slat this time because of corona virus.

I agree that nothing would basically change for the people who CAN go to casinos. I mean think about it, why was online casinos created? For people who couldn't go to casinos themselves, not all nations have casinos you can go to, it is illegal in almost everywhere except few places, which is why there is online places you can register and gamble. Now what happened?

People who live in Las Vegas, Monaco, Malta or any other place where you can gamble by going to casino simply just joined the people who didn't lived in a legal place and they are playing online as well like all of others like us who couldn't and just used online places. Hopefully, this doesn't continue too long but even if it does they still have an option and they can continue to gamble like nothing happened.

The pandemic affected a lot of companies and businesses that rely on the demand from the consumers, some have been damaged a lot and might be out of business when the virus is cured, and lets hope that it will be sooner than we exprct.

On the other hand, this might considerably a chance for gambling asdicts to focus on other things, or in their self and family, for me, getting closer to the people that are important to you makes you value life more and more that might be the cure for someone's bad habit.

[Yamifoud]

It for sure they deeply bored and maybe find them in online gambling or playing with their family members. But I was happy to have them stop visiting casinos and getting more deep into addiction. Maybe this time they are able to realize what is happening to them and might control themselves and hopefully gonna healed from addiction.
To the times like we have now, it sounds like it will give more prioritization to our health and protection from the virus.

What will most gambling addicts do when they can no longer gamble at casinos,

there is no need to think about the answer because obviously they will gamble online unless there is a Guerilla style of Gambling in their community that they can gather in one place and conduct gambling games secretly?

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 depend on the type of gamblers.

~If addicted?then this one will surely play automatically right after the reopening or casinos

~ if regular gamblers?Then for sure some of them will be cured and may stop gambling or either limit playing habits because they have found Good things more than gambling.

[bitcoin31]

We don't know what they are doing right now maybe they spend theie time to their family now because they are busy playing to the casino . But maybe they also still playing gambling with the help of online we know right now they have many apps that you can play gambling not only withthe use cryptocurrency but also even fiat now they have it but I hope this time they are temporary leave playing but if they did not want just play only sometimes.

[shoreno]

would it be better if this close down of casinos have a good effect on addict gamblers and will finally stop from being addicted  .

 im asking it and im stil concern with them knowing that there are still ways to gambling  .

 also gambling addiction or simply addiction is not easy to heal or to cure but it takes alot of time  ,  many months and years  .

the longer the casino being closedown the better but im not also wishing that the virus stays longer   . sigh

I tend to agree with this. IF I'm addicted to gamblers may be at this time it is good to relax and spend the most time with our family members(but make sure you're not infected with covid-19) to have some fun and probably not to get bored while staying at home. It is you who would control your self and have always priority time for your family.

Probably you can gamble online but don't spend your money too much on it. Remember that we don't know when lockdown end and the pandemic virus will get rid of.

unemployment will be another major problem that the world will face after this pandemic

this is something difficult to answer, we are facing a pandemic where people are forced to stay at home and must change the way they live. it may be that the fact that people who are addicted to games face a new way of living changes their behavior because they will not be able to do the same things they did before the pandemic. I've heard this phrase a lot: "after the pandemic many things will be different ..." and I agree with that.

But it's really scary if they will continue to become reckless on their lives like they know that they are suffering due to this coronavirus outbreak and some people started to lose some jobs and difficult to find the money for the family. We should become responsible even we are gamblers.
But on these times, since most of the people are staying home, more gamblers for sure are out there playing online.

That would be another problem, and they might not die from corona virus but they might die from starving because they spend the funds in gambling instead of buying the needs to while on lock down at home.

But on these times, since most of the people are staying home, more gamblers for sure are out there playing online.

I read a post stating that some gambling site tells they have an increase in numbers of gamblers, well, this is possible as gambling sites are available in any country, and every country people have different earning, if they live in a country that gives good salary, for sure they have some extra money now that they can use in gambling.
