Factors that contribute to form addictive gambling.

[traderethereum]

Greed is another factor that can form gambling addiction because the desire to get more wins will make him use his money to gamble instead of stopping to decompress after gambling.
Not having good self-control is also a factor that can lead to gambling addiction because he loses self-control while playing and doesn't know when to stop.
Maybe other factors can form a gambling addiction because each person's experience will be different, especially what makes him addicted to gambling.
Online casinos also have the potential to make a person addicted to gambling because he can play at home and can do other activities.
At the same time, he can also deposit and withdraw money directly from home.

A very important topic that should be discussed more often because of the rise of young folks who are increasingly getting hooked to the addiction called gambling.

What other factors do you know contribute to form addictive gambling?

I certainly believe that flawed thinking is one of the primary causes of gambling addiction in people.
When I refer to folks with flawed thinking, I mean those who assume they have the requisite knowledge to figure out how to win a game, whether it be at an online casino or a physical casino. As a result, they continue to play even after losing a game.
In my opinion, some people believe they have figured out how the system works and that they can defeat it and win, unlike other people who have not, but in fact, that is not the case.

This is really true. But gamblers shouldn't fall for these. Free drinks are good but they shouldn't be a reason for anybody to lose discipline in the way they gamble. ATM machines are anywhere near casinos. Casinos themselves accept credit and debit cards and other ways to get those chips, but this shouldn't be a reason anybody losses all their savings. To counter this, a gambler could actually go to a casino bringing only an amount in cash which he could lose. Cards should remain at home. So whatever happens, even if he gets really drunk, he could lose no more than what he brought.

Free alcoholic drinks, ease of withdrawal machines and ease of which to fund betting/gambling site wallets are serious contributory factors to addictive gambling.

A man was invited to the court for failure to meet up with his bills. He complained bitterly to the judge he was standing before, on how he was given free drinks at a live casino and it made him so loose to the point that he lost and emptied his wallet to place more bet of which he lost more. He made several withdrawals from his bank account, most of which he had saved up for something as important as paying the bill for which he was summoned and more.
He attributed his huge loss to the ease of which he could easily withdraw cash because of the presence and ease of accessibility of ATM and POS machines and the free alcoholic drinks served which made him drunk and so excited to the point he emptied all his savings on gambling.
In comparison to live casinos, online casinos do not offer free drinks, but if one were to bet from the comfort of his/her zone, and had a fridge or cooler of chilled alcoholic drinks, it shouldn't be a yardstick to get drunk to the point of funding ones betting wallet all just to gamble at that instance of excitement. Also, if one can't get to control the amount of his/her alcoholic intake I don't think such a one can control the excitement that comes from gambling and shouldn't bet, make withdrawals or fund gambling wallets, while drunk.

What other factors do you know contribute to form addictive gambling?

I think other factors that contribute to addictive gambling include easy access to online gambling sites, lack of self-control and understanding of the risks associated with gambling, poor financial management skills, and the thrill of winning. Many people also become addicted to gambling because of peer pressure, as well as the availability of credit and debit cards which make it easy to bet and withdraw winnings. In addition, those with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and stress can often find themselves drawn to gambling as a way of coping. Finally, the presence of promotional offers and bonuses can be a major contributing factor, as they often encourage people to bet more and more.

What other factors do you know contribute to form addictive gambling?

I'm not really sure if this is a good reason to tell in front of the judges, what if the addict doesn't take any alcoholic drinks? So for me this is not the reason that contribute for someone to be addicted. The main reason could be is that they have tasted big wins before and they want to experience that again. Or if they haven't win big, they are going to try it so they come back for more and play and then they fall into the trap. Or simply, majority wants to simply just win every time which we all know is not going to happen because of the house edge.

What other factors do you know contribute to form addictive gambling?

It is about risk-reward mechanisms in our brain, gambling releases dopamine and other neurotransmitters in our brains. The greed of some gamblers and the additional perks offered by the casinos enhance this effect, by the way.

It is about making gamblers as comfortable as possible so they can spend their money and feel good after a session.

Drinks, attractive women, food, attractive machines, music, events. It is all about exuberance which attracts people in general.

Free alcoholic drinks, ease of withdrawal machines and ease of which to fund betting/gambling site wallets are serious contributory factors to addictive gambling.

Free alcoholic drink could be a marketing strategy to attract gamblers to a physical casino but drinking responsibly is the duty of the gambler. Alcohol has the tendency of making one loose control if it is taken irresponsibly. The casino company did not force you to get drunk and stake all your funds. People tend to abuse substances, especially when it is free. Gambling should be done with a sane mind and not with an emotion that is controlled or beclouded by alcohol. The presence of ATMs or POS in a casino shouldn't be an excuse for over-gambling. That is why it is important to have a budget for your gambling activities. Having a budget would help one to control the amount he puts in gambling regardless of the ease of withdrawing funds to gamble with.

What other factors do you know contribute to form addictive gambling?

I think other factor that contribute to gambling addiction is greed, the drive to recover losses and perceiving gambling as an occupation. Some persons are not easily satisfied with their wins that they want to win more. If they loose they want to recover the loss by all means. Others are addicted because they see gambling as a major source of income. They put in all their time and energy in gambling which can make them used to the game.

What other factors do you know contribute to form addictive gambling?

Rather than 'other', I'd say major factor is being slave to emotions and lack of control over oneself.

Free drinks, lack of clocks, ATMs nearby are business techniques. Casinos will do what they need to keep the customers. These techniques only work when you lose control over yourself.

[bitzizzix]

Everything has been designed so that customers can spend their time and money betting, but it's kind of funny that all gamblers are like that, because if the smart gambler wouldn't be fooled by such things. Because they know it's a trap, and new or foolish gamblers will fall into the prearranged casino trap and think the free drinks offered will help them in their betting which is actually a trap.
gambling with offline or online casinos is the same, depending on how you gamble because online casinos can be like that if you do it with an urge to drink alcohol while playing and it will be problematic, you should avoid alcohol when gambling and gamble with money or capital that can afford to lose and have fun -like.

[Yaunfitda]

I think casino how to prey on human emotions, like giving free drinks or the said, gamblers become intoxicated continue to play lost money because their decision is clouded already.

And then it goes on and continue as the gamblers comeback again and get that free drinks, but this time he/she is more greedy and think that he can go against the casino and win, thus falling for the trick and now he become so addicted already and it's hard to get out as you totally lost your logical thinking and judgement.

[danherbias07]

The market of one casino. They will try to keep you there and offer you anything that would please you so that you can gamble more.
Then, it would never occur to us that we are already spending our savings and we forgot about the time.

Other factors are if you are with friends and no one is there who can control himself to stop all of you and go home instead. With all the fun and entertainment that will happen, you would forget that you are losing a lot of money until you wake up the next day. Alcohol and fun will lead to disaster.
The environment is also one, most casinos are putting their machines on another level, downstairs or up, so that you won't see the exit.

What other factors do you know contribute to form addictive gambling?

Sounds and lights from the machines. They're designed to keep you interested, and give you the illusion that you're doing well, as long as you put money in there. If you stop putting money, the whole show stops.

Casinos also don't have any windows or clocks. This is by design, so that you don't know how long you've been there. They want you to stay as long as possible, so that you give them as much money as you want.

Glamour. They tend to sell the idea that casinos are glamorous places, just like alcohol ads are just people having fun. In reality most casinos are just filled with depressed people throwing all their life savings away while not enjoying it.

Also, very easy to get money in, but hard to withdraw the money.

Basically everything in a casino is designed for you to feel special and to forget about the real world.

Free alcoholic drinks, ease of withdrawal machines and ease of which to fund betting/gambling site wallets are serious contributory factors to addictive gambling.

Well, these are indeed a good strategies to keep the gamblers playing for long. However if you are playing in moderation, these strategies won't work because you know your limit. So despite of the technique of the casino for the convenience of their gamblers, you won't fall on these tricks since it doesn't change your mindset to gamble with discipline.

What other factors do you know contribute to form addictive gambling?

Lack of control, using the money that can't afford to lose and the thought of winning huge if you gamble are just a few reasons why many gamblers are becoming addicted.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

Casinos are setup as mazes to try and keep you in them. They also have women dressed scantily clad and a lack of clocks. These things all contribute to people spending more time in casinos than they might have otherwise. It’s the name of the game… I’m not sure places can be held accountable for these sorts of practices though. It’s pretty commonly known these sorts of things are in play.

The case of attractive scantily clad women is a curious one. You see them in many gambling advertisements, and it is because, according to what I saw in a documentary, the part of the brain that controls risk is linked to or is the same part of the brain that controls sex, so that subconsciously seeing attractive women encourages you to risk more by gambling.

What other factors do you know contribute to form addictive gambling?

This is just one of the factors, there are many other factors that contribute to gambling addiction, by nature, we are risk takers and we know the word and meaning of gambling long before we see or hold a dice,  even if we are not playing in a casino.

It's inherent in us, it is just enhanced when we experience actual playing or betting or we are challenged so it's not only drinking, we are inclined to play excessive gambling when we experience the thrill, rewards, and dopamine effects gambling is bringing.

[Reatim]

for some it is the free alcohol/coffee/juices and also those pretty girls that works inside casino houses ,  but for me? it is the place in which ambiance is what we called better to play.

but since we are mostly playing in Online casino now so the way to attract playing is the bonuses and rake backs.

[bittraffic]

What other factors do you know contribute to form addictive gambling?

Having money in the bank account can contribute. 

Blaming the bank for his gambling addiction would be funny though but true. If he has no money he may not be able to gamble anymore. It's just going to be worse if he commits a crime in order to get some money like robbing the bank and then gamble the money. That would really be the worse kind of addiction.

Having no job I think can be considered a factor contributing to gambling addiction. If one person is just idle all the time and has no trade skills, he will have some vices.

[Oasisman]

What other factors do you know contribute to form addictive gambling?

While those you have mentioned were a true contributing factors for gambling addiction, but it is with our own discretion and maintain our sanity towards gambling.
Casinos are a business designed for their target market to enjoy and make money at the same time. So, It is not only the casino who's solely responsible for such uncontrollable gambling habits, but also the person involved.
Free drinks and ATMs are kinda normal to any gambling establishments, but I know it provokes gamblers to gamble more.

[coin-investor]

Free alcoholic drinks, ease of withdrawal machines and ease of which to fund betting/gambling site wallets are serious contributory factors to addictive gambling.

I think there's nothing more serious than beginner's luck I have a few friends that experienced this and they actually believe that they can really make money from gambling and they have luck in gambling, they keep this belief and mindset for so long until they realized that they are already losing a lot of money and time and they are hanging on the false hope that they are lucky and they can make money from gambling, beginner's luck could become a scourge on people who started to gamble.

Should, indeed, but not something done as easy as it may sound. That's addiction in its broadest sense; being unconsciouly too dependent. Also, I oppose that drinks are major factor to gambling addiction but rather gambler's mindset. If the gambler in the first place aims to be rich out of gambling then that is where problem would arise afterwards. I've experienced being drunk but I just ended up sleeping and not wasting money. I'd relate this to womanizing which is also addictive to some people and their main alibi is because they're drunk, not even true. You could be drunk but it is your intentions which would make you move. Self moderation is the key; you did not go to a casino just to get drunk right? Go find a bar.
