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

[Lanatsa]

Excess of everything is bad
Mobile has done more damage to the world than good.
i sometime feels sick and addicted not being able to get away fro the mobile phone. Such miserable our lives have become.

I don't think it will labeled at that, you can set boundaries on gadgets if you have proper management and value your health. This can be achieved personally and there are several ways to do it, the only thing that hard is the commitment and to start.

Everything would really be depending on someones will and control because if your mind is really been aware on what are the things that you should gonna do then for sure you will really be doing it.
If ever you do encounter some distractions then its up to someones discipline whether they would really be going back on track or would simply avoid it.It all matters with the mindset and each
person does have different levels when it comes to this.

With having the easy access on almost everything that we do have today then its really hard to quit up something specially when you do know that you could simply
just pull off your mobile phone on you own pocket then you are ready to go once again.

This is spot on. Gambling addiction is a very real and serious issue, and it can be very difficult to overcome. Smartphones and easy access to sites is a very huge enabler.

One way to fix this problem would be to make it more difficult to access these gambling sites on smartphones. For example, there could be a limit on how many times someone can open the app or website in a day, or there could be a pop-up that comes up every time someone tries to access a gambling site that says something like "Are you sure you want to do this? gambling can be addictive and lead to financial problems." This would at least make people think twice before accessing these sites, and it might make some people decide not to gamble at all.

Another way to fix this problem would be to provide more education on the risks of gambling addiction. This could be done in schools, or even on the gambling websites themselves. If people are more aware of the dangers of gambling addiction, then they might be less likely to get hooked in the first place.

The bottom line is that the easy access to online gambling sites via smartphones is a problem that needs to be fixed. There are a few ways to do this, but it will ultimately come down to people making better choices about whether or not to gamble.

I thought they are only used to have fun so why will they get addicted? I think the obsession for money are the ones who are truly addicting because when you have money you can do almost anything and this can make a person more happier but a continuously playing for fun will get you being bored later on and you will quit on it for a while in order to do something else.

It has something to do with the secretion of Dopamine.  Since having fun means a person is in a state of happiness or pleasure Dopamine is responsible for that.  Though addiction as stated isn't caused by Dopamine you can refer to this process why dopamine plays a certain part.

THE SEEDS OF ADDICTION
Generally speaking, when you experience a positive sensation and dopamine is released into the pathways of the reward center, your brain takes note of:

What triggered the sensation: Was it a substance? A behavior? A type of food?
Any cues from your environment that can help you find it again. Did you experience it at night? What else were you doing? Were you with a certain person?
When you’re exposed to those environmental cues, you’ll begin to feel the same drive to seek out that same pleasure. This drive can be incredibly powerful, creating an urge that’s hard to control.

There are ads that we see online. They are like a gambling game but totally free to play but the best part of them is that you can earn some money by playing. I think that is because these games have ads inside them. Many people are hook on them right now to earn additional income without taking a risk.

Often time this kind of ad is a trap.  Indeed they can give you earnings but how long do you need to play to actually earn on that gambling game?  People are impatient so to fast tract their earnings, they will then start to deposit until they are trapped in the scheme of that game.

Most people just aim to have fun by doing online gambling and some online games. Online gambling such as slot games and several other gambling games. and some of them also use online gambling games to get profits through online gambling games. Online gambling that is getting easier to be accessed by anyone certainly has negative effects that are not good, they will be addicted and continue to play. which at first was just for entertainment, but after getting addicted they spent some of their money on gambling. this will make them crushed and unable to stop.

at first it's just fun, but when the entertainment becomes a game that you can't let go of then you will continue to do it. Even some gambling applications do not directly use money, but use a coin which can then be purchased on their website or several marketplaces that already provide it. Slot gambling games are becoming very popular games for online gambling, because you only use your smartphone to easily play them.
Many think it will be a game that can provide additional income, but in reality the risk of losing everything will continue as long as you can't control it.

online gambling are threading gambling everywhere but the thing is that nobody is trying to play a manual gambling this present time, in the most of the countries they playing gambling seriously and i believe that gambling now is being Best online and no country who is lover of gambling that has not turn up in online gambling.

That is what makes online gambling the main topic that each country must pay attention to. There are fewer gamblers in offline gambling and switching to online will make access easier. When the government is negligent, then I believe that underage youth will be trapped in gambling from an early age. It doesn't matter if we are adults and we take responsibility for the risks we make. but for children who are stuck in games that resemble gambling, it will make them curious about gambling moments, and their parents need to take responsibility from what they are doing.

[traderethereum]

You are correct excessive everything can cause problem in environment I know that yes one people is addicted in gambling because of their plans and what they want to achieve in gambling so when they're out of the environment they will still try to keep that kind of target in order to make such the mind or search target they need

That is why you should not exceed what you budgeted beforehand to avoid losing and eventually getting addicted to gambling in the future.
We want to avoid it but the temptation from the casinos is stronger than we think because they always offer attractive offers and even send links to mobile phones.
Only strong self-control can help us prevent gambling for too long and although not many people can do that, we should still try not to become addicted to it like everyone else.
It's just time for us to control ourselves properly and requires daily training.

The regulation and strict imposition of rules and policies should really be the priority of the government together with the casino owners. This is to ensure that the gambling space will not be infiltrated by the underaged who aren't allowed to be involved in gambling in the first place. A campaign for awareness about gambling's repercussion could be one of the ways to help spread information about the consequences of gambling to the youth.

KYC could be an option too by the casinos which I believe most casinos are already doing this. However, this has its cons on the side of the player because some do not really like undergoing KYC to maintain anonymity and to maintain confidentiality. Although it has been slowly being asked in some sites now so that they can filter those underaged trying to make an account to have an access in betting. While it could be helpful to narrow down those who are accessing the site, the children are now becoming more on more knowledgeable about bypassing and making various ways just to access some platforms. So this will still boil down to becoming disciplined and aware of a person, whatever the age may be. There will just be helping factors to let the youth avoid the possible negative effects of gambling.

Now even many who initially gambled manually (offline) have switched to online gambling. if in the past I often saw them gathering in certain places to gamble. now the gambling place is getting quiet. maybe because of the ease of gambling via the internet.
and this convenience must be considered by parents so that children do not fall into gambling when they are still underage. because by law children are still prohibited from doing so. because they don't know what risk they are taking.

Gambling sites are good in enticing gamblers, they can use every channels or every ways to attract and engage people who will use their platforms, there are some that might have a good control and not to allow losing a lot just to be entertained, but let's accept the fact that there are more gamblers who are unable to control and unable to manage their finances. Gamblers who losses lot of money by playing the game that they are involved with, especially now that it's really easy to play. It's a just device away from you.

That is what makes online gambling the main topic that each country must pay attention to. There are fewer gamblers in offline gambling and switching to online will make access easier.

They are prone to addiction, that's the main fact, and yes, you don't need to travel just to gamble but instead you just need to turn on your digital device who has access to internet and you are now good to go. Something that parenthood's additional challenge, monitoring and making sure that you are guiding your kids not to be involved or not to explore with this kind of activities while you are away from them. It's hard, but you need to work on it to make sure they are safe.

[ethereumhunter]

It really makes no difference but having your phone around you at all times will keep the urge to try some more bets constant compared to physical casinos or PCs. Mobile phones are always available to the gambler at all times and could make this addiction faster. If it were a PC or offline casino someone might be kind enough to monitor their loved once who get frequently involved in gambling but on mobile phones its hard to tell what someone could be doing with their mobile phone and that could trigger more gambling appetite

I don't think so because if someone uses his phone for other activities such as for work using a cellphone, I don't think he will think about gambling. Maybe if he had free time, he wouldn't use it to gamble either. But it will be different if the person is addicted to gambling which can make him use his phone to gamble. And because we always carry our phones with us wherever we go, it allows us to have more time to gamble discreetly. But it will all depend on the person because if he can monitor or know that playing gambling on a phone or computer can still make him addicted, he will not try to gamble at all.

Well if he is done with his work using his mobile phone then he is free to use his time in any way possible, that includes playing a gambling game in his mobile device.  We cannot give a conclusion to anyone's activity because they are not us.  People may or may not gamble but we cannot conclude that everyone who is using their mobile phone for work won't gamble using their phone after their work is done.  It doesn't need for a person to be a gambling addict in order to play gambling games after doing their office work. There is always a possibility.

When people use their phones, it's a private moment for those people; if we're not allowed to see them, we can't try to see them. Otherwise, they will be angry for trying to see what they did. I agree that people can always play gambling from their cell phones and with the advancement of technology that every cell phone has today, it makes it easy for them to explore every site on the internet and even gambling sites.

You're correct on that but as adults I think we're more capable to fight the urge and set those boundaries over gadgets. That's the disadvantage of it but if the individual always have that expectations like difficulty on quiting, that will definitely the thing will come and not the other way around.

Yes this possibility and advancement there is today easily accessible to anyone however only if these individuals want and search for such sites,it is their desire that brings them to gambling and not the gadgets they are holding like mobile phone or tablet which are the most used devices in online gambling.As long as these people have a desire to play gambling the rise of such technology only helps them achieve it,we know that many of them end up addicted and ruining their life but in the first place the choice was theirs,they wanted to visit such sites no one and surely no gadget forced them to visit these sites.

Ruining our lives will depend on how we deal with ourselves. The worst enemy would always be ourselves, the fun, the enjoyment that we deal with is playing a big part on it.

Because even if we play with our emotions, there's one thing that we're not seeing the part and that's of losing money.

[makishart]

In my country, online gambling began to spread to a wider user because of the games that were originally developed not for gambling, but user used this app as places to gamble.

online gambling are threading gambling everywhere but the thing is that nobody is trying to play a manual gambling this present time, in the most of the countries they playing gambling seriously and i believe that gambling now is being Best online and no country who is lover of gambling that has not turn up in online gambling.

Online platform was making it to be even more easier for people to be accessed. People will think again if they can access what they wanna to play only in a few second and why do they need to pick manual to play the game?
In my opinion if covid was also changing the way those people to play the game. This is changing everything not only how we will work in our daily life but it's also changing our habits.

Having a cellphone or other gadget will make it easier for them in various kinds, including playing gambling. This will make it difficult for them to quit and if they are addicted to gambling, they will find it difficult to stay away from their cell phone because they feel their world is on their phone and they need to be connected to their cell phone all the time. And when they are in a state like this, that will make them always busy with their cellphones even though they are with other people around them.

We shouldnt really just focus of the cons on having mobile phone.It wasnt really just intended for the sake of using it into that particular thing but rather been having it mainly for communication which is crucial.
It is really just an added up utility which you could eventually browse almost everything here on online space and that do really includes gambling.It isnt really that bad to deal up something as long you do know
on how to deal with it with moderation and never intend to go beyond your limits.We do have our own will which we know which is bad and which is good and which is in neutral.
If you do find out things which arent that good anymore or doesnt give out something positive effect then better avoid.

[Silberman]

It can be done by not giving children everything they want and ask anytime. Normally, kids who don't have any limits are likely to develop problematic behavior when they grow up. Since everything in their lives was so easy to achieve, they don't value things, especially money, because it has become trivialized and easily acquired from their parents without any rules or conditions.
Then these children won't think twice before spending money irresponsibly, as they know there is more from where it has come and can be claimed as soon as they demand. Of course at some point it will become a serious issue and there won't be enough money to cover the children's expenses, so it's better parents pay attention to them and change this reality before it's too late...

You are correct, those are the kind of kids which eventually develop all kind of issues as they were never taught by their parents any kind of limits, they may be thinking they are being generous to their kids but instead they are creating someone which lacks any sense of proportion, and then when they finally begin to hear from other people the word no they cannot accept it and they will try to impose their will over others, so in order to avoid something like that limits need to be imposed so they can grow and become healthy and functional adults.

Because even if we play with our emotions, there's one thing that we're not seeing the part and that's of losing money.

That's for sure because gambling will always tempt every gambler to keep playing and only gamblers with good self-control can withstand that temptation.
So be careful when you want to play gambling and maintain self-control so it doesn't decrease.
We've seen many people lose control of themselves while gambling and it's only a matter of time before they can destroy themselves.
And never play gambling with emotions because it will risk and endanger our money so that we can lose our money on the gambling table.

[BITCOIN4X]

You are correct, those are the kind of kids which eventually develop all kind of issues as they were never taught by their parents any kind of limits,

I think it's hard to conclude that many parents nowadays don't care about what their children do outside the home because I believe every one of them has educated their children well. However, it is undeniable that it is difficult to prevent the misuse of media including cellphones that are used for things related to gambling, pornography or other things that are detrimental to children's morals and finances in the long term.

I believe that the digitalization of this era has destroyed the morale of minors even though they are actually taught good things by their respective parents. We can't prevent it by just making inaudible assumptions or suggestions, these are just as meaningless. The next generation could be worse, but I hope all of us who have become parents are able to educate our children well.

Correct. Even in gambling we need an emotional control in ourselves. do not let our emotions dominate our bodies. so that our actions become reckless. because if an action is based on strong emotions then usually the action becomes a rash action. because emotions can make the mind become restless. so that the decisions taken can be wrong. and most of those who are addicted are those who cannot control their emotions. so they are sometimes hard to stop once they have started. and they become gambling without limits. and if already addicted it will be difficult to cure. because psychological therapy takes a long time and seriousness and support is also needed. but with the ease like now it will be very difficult not to become addicted.
