The Rise of Mobile Gambling Is Leaving People Ruined and Unable to Quit

[madnessteat]

I believe that if a person has a gambling addiction and for some reason does not want to go to a specialist, then he should completely abandon the devices that allow him to gamble, stop talking to people who play gambling and find a hobby that could cause interest and bring pleasure. Otherwise, the likelihood that he will gamble uncontrollably again is very high.

As explained on article, mobile phones accelerate the process of addiction in different forms. Gambling causes urge to deposit and it is easy for mobile users to click few times to refill his casino balance and keep repeating till it becomes zero, in worst case addiction leads to serious debt. Main reason is again access to faster internet, mobile banking, online casino combination, IMHO.

But most people enjoy it without negative consequences. They are just tools and some people know how to use them and some don't. What can we do to ensure that people do not use these tools for harm? In any case, do not ban mobile banking and the Internet. I think people who have problems with gambling should help themselves (or with the help of specialists) but not at the expense of restrictions and bans for other people.

He cannot do that, it needs intervention if he tries to do it by himself he's going to fail, compulsive gamblers are always denying that they are gambling excessively, their mindset is as long as you enjoy what you are doing then you are fine and its better to gamble than do drugs or be an alcoholic, they always have alibis on what they do, the best way to cure addiction is to have the support of the family and intervention coming from professionals, addiction is caused by dopamine the feeling getting rewarded and winning something to get excited, it should be replaced by rewarding activities that satisfied the desire.

That's easier said than done. How can someone who is addicted to gambling, and is in denial, possibly find pleasure or interest in anything else? Addiction affects the brain in very dramatic and extreme ways, and many people with an addiction need medical help and professional help to properly overcome it. In my experience, the simplest way to help an addict recover is by getting the person into the right setting that will give him the necessary help and education to overcome his compulsion. Without professional help, the odds of success are close to zero.

With the advance technology that we have right now, you can almost do everything with your phone, and if you are into gambling using only your phone that could be more easy for you to spend some time to gamble, addiction might only happen if you gamble carelessly without any discipline. If you thing you are already addict, seeking help are more effective because most probably dealing with that addiction alone, can't help you that much. Mobile gambling becomes more popular when the pandemic started especially in my country where you can see almost everyone having their own gambling site on their phone, it's spreading so fast.

Addiction is every where so I do not think that this mobile gambling is any difference with the existing addiction.  Yes it may easily speed up a person's gambling addiction but as far as I believe, it isn't the mobile or the internet faults why people are getting addicted to gambling but it is the person's decision of letting himself got addicted to gambling.  Same goes with internet addiction, gaming addiction and any form of addiction.  It only needs personal discipline to beat all these kinds of addiction.

All people around the world has an addiction but the only way to fight our addiction then we need to control ourselves. About in Mobile gambling for sure there are some people got addicted because it will help them to became happy and When luck has come then they can make a profit also. But in reality all things has passed aways so we need to control our selves in order to prevent big losses .

Perhaps treatment centers would be located in remote areas with no internet access? That seems like it could represent a good first step. But of course the second they returned to modern society. There would always be the temptation to revert to former behavior. Which could be tough to resist.

What's even worse is that minors, almost entirely in remote areas, are involved in domino gambling, this is concerning that the nation's generation has been involved and addicted to gambling from an early age, I think there is no way to get rid of their habit of gambling at this time, apart from super tight control.

I saw with my own eyes, remote and urban areas 99% young people, on average already have an Android phone and have fallen into online games, the next generation will be destroyed, if things like this continue to happen.

Maybe, the best solution for today's children, they should be a school that has a Dormitory and the rules are a bit strict for them and supervision.

True, those who are addicted and hardly affect their life are simply those who cant control themselves.
Internet access, mobile banking, cryptocurrencies, online gambling, etc are just part of technologies that cant be the one to be blame.
We are responsible for ourselves, even if we live in a place where there is no internet access but if we still want to gamble then we will try to find a way to gamble.
The main key is our mindset about gambling itself, we should know how to gamble and how to deal with its consequences to avoid the worst case.

The addiction phase is common on new players that's why its good for them to be guided well on what they need to do since if they are following on wrong group or people which always them think that they can earn the same with them or became rich quickly if they follow their methods then most provably they will just fall on the trap brought by those guys.

But over the time once they realize for sure those addicted person will get out on what they are on and can able to think if this activity still worth it for them or not. For sure all of us go on this phase where we think about our losses and start to move on.

There is a dilemma here. Children today learn with tablets, not with pen and paper, or pencils and crayons, as was the case not so long ago. It is one thing that certain irresponsible parents let their children be online without paying attention to them for many things from an early age, with the dangers that this entails, but education today has to make use of the modern tools that we have, which are neither bad nor good, it depends on how they are used.

Accessibility is too easy now that everything can be access anywhere. There are also ads where we can see games and people testifying how they are able to win and gain money. It’s easier now to cashin and cashout especially with crypto and there are also gambling games that can be search in app stores. It will be hard for parents to monitor their children especially if they can’t watch them 24/7. Also child needs now gadgets to do some homework for research. Parents can only do is by reminding their children and set sample to their children by not doing gambling as well limiting their screen time and have some family quality time. Monitoring also their finances and not giving too much money can be a key to not lead their children in gambling and debts.

The best value is having a quality time for your children, even you are tired in your everyday routine but having that bond between you and your children will help them to be guided in life. It's true that the access is very easy now and with those ads that children can be a view that kind of curiosity will always be there for them. So it's really important for parents to have that time to secure whatever activities their kids have over the internet. Taking that extra effort to talk with your kids will keep them close to a good way of not letting them to explore.

Moving forward, the technology is keeping on growing and there's no way to stop it. You can adopt with how the system will move, but always try your best to be on the control side and not being controlled by the latest updates.

Even gambling is just a click away. It's you still that will decide whether to play or not to play, so better to keep your distance and now the right side to avoid ruining your life and turn yourself into addictions.

Some gamblers who have fallen into gambling addiction still pursue gambling despite its negative effect on their lives believing that they could still regain their losses which is definitely a wrong mindset. That is the reason why they fall into addiction even worse. It's the greediness and false hope that keep them coming back to gamble. If a gambler has a proper mindset right from the start, he wouldn't go on the wrong track because he knows when to pursue and continue and when to quit.

Nothing can stop anyone from using his phone to do something like online gambling. The government will have to have control over their phones  or the internet before they can impose something like that. If a person is irresponsible of what he is doing, he should also accept consequences of his action.

There is one thing that the government can do to force an irresponsible person to do good, its the social credit system that China uses.  One would really behave or else he loses benefits.

Because gambling is more accessible nowadays, it is really hard to stop addiction. Almost all of the businesses nowadays are now accessible thru mobile it can also access via different social media accounts, if they want to change themselves it is possible but very difficult to manage and as much as we want to be consistent we cannot do it easily because resources are available everywhere.

Lol this social credit system is sucks, are you really want your life to get controlled by the country? there's no freedom and you're only do anything that can boost your social credit. After all, you're just like a robot to be programmed with the country rules.

Maybe, the best solution for today's children, they should be a school that has a Dormitory and the rules are a bit strict for them and supervision.

Dormitory doesn't really help, supervision might help for specific place, but if the children going to a place without supervision, then he can gamble without anyone know it.

There are many things that attract gamblers and make them stay in casino sites nowadays. First are the promotions and bonuses as well as huge jackpot prizes that they want to win. We're now in the midst of the inflation crisis and the urge of some gamblers to win big amounts is higher than usual. The convenience that online gambling could provide also has a huge effect on gamblers' addiction. It will be hard for them to control their urge to gamble because temptations could only be found in their gadgets.

all the things we want right now we can get just by doing activities on our smartphone, that convenience makes us dependent on smartphones.  Just imagine if those who are gambling offline will not usually calmly go to the toilet, but unlike those who play online gambling via smartphones, we usually gamble freely anywhere and anytime.

The convenience provided by smartphones will certainly have pros and cons forever, but I see more positive things that smartphones provide to humans.

People ruined, addicted and unable to quit because their own mistake. We cant blame others including the rise of mobile gambling. No matter how great the rise of technology in general, people wont be affected negatively if they can control themselves. What we need to do is to keep ourselves away from the possible negative effects. If we are worrying about our generation, we should start to educate our generation earlier about it so we can minimize the negative effects.

I remember these words "your hands are your actions" that word describes life in the era of technology, we all hold gadgets for the freedom of internet access as the user wants, so the limit to avoid gambling addiction is to manage time using mobile gambling applications and use minimum funds to bet.
But advice for the younger generation, we must protect the use of gadgets from access to gambling and you should always check the search for words that are often accessed, if something suspicious is found in the gadget, especially regarding access to gambling applications, then you should limit or prohibit the use of the gadget for gambling for their good future.

If people like to gamble, it is always their own responsibility. No one is forcing them to gamble. I understand that for many it revolves around an addiction, but visitors have to face that for themselves and try to tackle their addiction. It is an addiction that is difficult to get rid of, but there are a lot of people who go through a deep valley after losing a huge amount of money. You even have gamblers who are clean for a while and then relapse again. That is part of life. I think you have to accept that and look for fellow sufferers who also struggle with such an addiction and try to resolve the situation together.

Addiction is not a problem related to profit or loss, it is a wrong belief to think that the addict is a loser, it is a relative associate that accelerates additive behavior, the positive or negative balance of your bankroll is not an indication that you are a addicted.

Players can have losses and not be addicted, they can also be winning players and have symptoms of addiction.

First of all, as I mentioned, you can control access to your phone and have time control in certain Apps, either of your own free will or that a third party monitors your actions on the cell phone, even with the possibility of blocking the use of the phone. or reduce the assigned times, it is a tool that should be used even if you think you have no problems because it is interesting to know how much time you spend on certain Apps (casinos).

Rehab centres in the deep remote areas can work a bit but with the evolution of internet era then it is impossible to take smartphone from your hands anymore because we are so dependent on the internet even for our basic needs for example banking, as crypto enthusiast I can't stop using my device simply because it has the potential to do more harms.

We have to look deep into the issue to identify the root cause so we can deal the issue atleast in the upcoming generation, to me the reason why the reason is being so addictive is lack of knowledge and awareness is simply happened because the technology developed a lot in the last 10 to 20 years but the knowledge level isn't upto the standard for the kids to realize how to handle them productively.

Online gambling is one of the new ways to gamble and it is very easy because of the ease to do it but it is more tempting that you could empty your account before you know it. The emotion is always rising and you want to keep betting to regain your loses. I was gambling online through the phone and I realize this was really more tempting to play more than offline. You can find yourself playing unnecessary gambling because you have your apps ready to play always, this is difficult to control more than of line.

That's what they owner want their costumers feel since total satisfaction can make convince people to go back playing at them since they usually urge people to feel it was entertaining and quite profitable. This is why some of them use paid streamers since they want to create a scenario which people think that gambling is really fun and it can make them rich because for them to spend more then gain more money from those their costumers.
[/quote]
That satisfaction is basically the ease of use. I mean when people are playing on their phones, that means they can play anywhere they want and they can play just 5 minutes and leave. Normally if you play on PC, even on laptops, it takes 5 minutes just to start properly, and that is why phones are getting the big bulk of mobile gambling apps.

At the end of the day, real gamblers will want to sit in front of a PC and gamble properly, that is a bit more serious situation. But, the current deal is that we are talking about a lot of people who do not want to gamble that much, and just for a while and when you have millions of these people, it is a serious thing.
