Can change of environment have an effect on gambling addiction.

[agustina2]

If we live in times when the internet isn't available then it is impossible to develop a gambling disorder because there is no factor to affect that since you nullified the possibility of outside factors affecting the subject.

But gambling was formed way back ages.

For sure on that time, some people also develop a gambling disorder too.
Ever since gambling was introduced to the world, there's always been a disorder that will happen.

Of course, as technology evolves, the cause of the disorder was also changing.

If we live in times when the internet isn't available then it is impossible to develop a gambling disorder because there is no factor to affect that since you nullified the possibility of outside factors affecting the subject.  But we are in a world where everything is almost done online, this bridges the gap between an individual and the gambling casinos.  If the subject has access to gambling casinos online and plays then there is a chance that the subject will develop gambling problems because he is now actively involving himself in gambling activities online.

I think you are forgetting something, that gambling existed before the creation of the internet, gambling culture is developing all over the world with different backgrounds, I think from a long time ago there are many people who are addicted to traditional gambling. So I don't think the problem is with technology or the internet. maybe if you say something like : that the current development of the internet is contributing to a bad influence on gambling addiction. I will agree.

I absolutely agree with your opinion. The Internet has made gambling more widespread and promoted. But even if there were no Internet we would play cards or dice in the kitchen at night. Mankind has been gambling since ancient times, as evidenced by the dice that have been found more than a thousand years old.

Internet has got nothing to do with it except making it easier for many people to access gambling if they wanted to.A fun example would be from what I have learned from locals where I live that during the communist era that run for near 50 years here people still gambled despite it being illegal and you could get in jail for several years if caught.The gamblers here played at that time near a football club place of training and they were caught by the police who were wearing the uniform of that soccer team and put all of them to jail.This didn't stop as gamblers still continued to gamble no matter these high risks,it means it is true gambling is in our nature and we can't stop it no matter how hard we try.

Well, internet really did take part in promoting gambling to become widely known and used by people. Since almost everything is in the internet already, it paved way for easier access and of course, easier promotion of gambling in different websites and platforms. We can't really deny that gambling become more widespread in this modern times but it's also prevalent even way back.

Although for sure, even if the internet would be gone, people will still find ways to gamble to satisfy their need for it. Most especially those people who are already dependent on gambling.

Gambling is not just only in sport, sometimes Gambling is being played in our local wrestling,  it can be done between two person to predict what may not be related to sport. It is very difficult to go a place where Gambling is not found in one way or the other.  Sometimes we Gamble unknowing to ourselves.

In my opinion, there is a probability of a gambling addiction being cleansed addiction when he or she was cut off from the internet and everybody he knows that plays gambling, it seems to be like a rehab facility, but for me, it has a different approach inside a rehab facility and in a place with the environment, 1st let's see what may happen for people that are addicted in a

Rehab Facility - In my experience with Rehab Facility well I am not saying that all Facility are like these, but I have a friend that surely is addicted to gambling which made him bankrupt so his family have decided to get him inside one, and on his 5 months being inside a rehab facility he became fat because of overeating but I have notice something when he sees me he eventually asking for money and it went on and 1 and a half year I have returned to visit me, he eventually asks me for money again, I think there is some point that Rehab Facility doesn't have a solution or sometimes it does, but it is just my observation, he was just eating and sleeping in that facility, and can not do a thing, I really think without any activity inside he gets so much bored inside,

Nature Environment place - In this environment, he has no access to internet and no access to the outside world, but there are a lot of things he can do it can be physically, mentally, and spiritually and I have notice a sudden change in my friend approached on me he even ask me to eat with him, I think people needs a lot of activities to eventually redirect him or her towards something different other than gambling,

So I have notice the different that same friend is now enjoying life to his fullest without any gambling at all, but I think every people will surely have different outcome, or we should try all different approach if really needed, and if he is with his loving family that will be very perfect for him,

Yes, people love to gamble....

The love of risk and the desire to enter into combat with fate is a basic human need.  So it was in ancient times, so it is now. 

Gambling can be considered as a kind of training.  A reasonable person is inclined to systematize everything and create simplified models of the surrounding reality in his brain.

However, these are just models (and not reality). 

Reality is surprise, it is risks, it is uncertainty.  Gambling prepares a person for real life.  That is why people love to gamble.

With the development of the world of technology it should be able to have a good impact on gambling places because it can make it easier to make transactions at gambling places so more people should be gambling because they can be accessed all over the world with ease from starting deposits and withdrawals which are quite easy , this is an important task for the marketing department and developers to hold events that can attract more people to the gambling place.

Yes - the change of environment does affect man's psyche - - even in our culture when we have personal or professional loss. People advice each other to each change the town or place of the country - it brings good fortune as well. So staying at one place means being stagnat

The development of the internet has not only contributed to the influence of gambling, the development of the internet has contributed to all aspects of life, both good and bad. But apart from the internet, I agree about traditional gambling and I've also said before that remote villages are easier for traditional gambling. The social life that is still very thick in remote villages will at least make it easier for them to gamble, for example, such as cockfighting and other traditional gambling. So now people who are already addicted to gambling are themselves the ones who will help to quit the addiction themselves, next of course they need experts to guide and realize it.

I think what he meant was that it's impossible to change environments nowadays because the internet is used everywhere, and if you have a gambling addiction, even if you're alone at home you can still go to any casino site and continue gambling without any problems. You can't disagree with that - the internet or the smartphone develops new habits.

Many of us may not know exactly where the craze for gambling originated, but it has been around  form ancient period of time. primitive people had to go to a certain place to gamble, but with the modernization of technology, gambling can now be played at home. So those ancient diseases are still there in this technological world and will be as long as the earth lasts. As a result we see how the gambling industry is becoming established in a short period of time. So I think there is no way out from here unless self controlling.

Iboga treatments have been known to be effective in reversing addictions from cigarettes to heroin and gambling as it resets your brain chemistry, results are within a day.

I our culture - migration is a very important thing.
PEople do migrate when things are not in their favour from city or from a country. This brings in change of environment and attitude.

Totally you have a deviated from the particular place we are discussing and the our point of view it's not really what you discuss. Environment a young adult find itself can change a adult if the adult is not well arranged in knowledge to become gambling addicted can be determined through the environment you find yourself and it will become gambling free can be also be assured through the environment you find yourself so this work like trade by barter

I do not agree with you because the main share of gambling advertising is on the Internet, and nowadays more and more people play gambling online. I learned about gambling as a child. At that time even if there was internet (dial-up) not everyone could afford the service, not to mention the lack of gambling sites. Today many bloggers with a huge number of subscribers advertise gambling, so a large percentage of today's generation learns about gambling through the Internet.

Yes change in environment do affect the attitude of the people.
WE also move to other places for sometime when we are depressed and want a break -that is what everyone does. And that is the best approach to do.

Change of environment surly can have an impact on the gamblers - but the main thing is one should have serious desire to get rid of addiction
If one is not adamant to do what he thinks - then no-one can bring in any change.

This discussion it's not meant to be argue much because everybody have notice that changing of environment can change the mentality of a gambler can also change the seriousness of gambling so if a gambler is in the state or environment which everybody into the environment is not interested in gambling the person way of thinking in the gambling will change. So that is the nature of habitat and evolution

If a gambler do end up on a place where he cant possibly seen any gambling places for him to hang on then he would really be having that changed of impressions but if his addiction is on that severe
state then he might really be still ending up on playing with online casinos which are available since we do know that it is really just easy on accessing platforms with just few clicks or taps.
If you are really still have access or does have mobile phone or pc then high chances that you would really be considering out this kind of option even though its a bit off into your interest
but since it do still talks about gambling then it would be on your consideration on doing it again.

Gamblers will find a way to gamble. There is a lot of convenient and easy way nowadays to do gambling. For that person that is being sent to an environment where no gambling stuff will be seen, it should also be accompanied by other prevention methods such as doing what rehabilitation centers do to help that gambler forget about gambling. They should refer at experts at that field to give them preferences on what to do with this type of people.
