Factors that contribute to form addictive gambling.

[kawetsriyanto]

I think people who are here in the forum will not become this addicted because we are fully oriented here about addiction and how to deal with it.

No guarantee about it, mate.
Even if you always read about some tips to prevent addiction every day, you still have a chance to be addicted if you never evaluated your gambling habit. Some people are unaware that they are addicted to gambling because they make it as a daily activity (habit). It may not cause bad impacts if you can limit your funds daily (small money), but it will be a big problem if you gamble daily without a budget limit. It probably ends up with losing everything.

There are too many factors of gambling addiction but the root source is the money that they will get from the gambling casino, if you will keep chasing it, it could probably become an addiction.

Yes, there are many factors.
Chasing winning or chasing money, never leads to a good result.
We all understand that wins can't be pursued in gambling, more attempts never guarantee a bigger chance to win (get money).

The story doesn't make sense to me. Isn't it common to witness those at casinos?

If on the other hand that those things like nearby ATMs, free drinks, and so on are not present, surely those guests will complain and will find another casino instead with such convenient treatment to their customers.

The factors that contribute to addictive gambling are not those casino features but rather our inner self and the purpose for why we gamble.

As a gambler then you would be finding up these things to be convenient which would be adding up on good overall user experience.
Some actions or outcomes is basing up on your own decisions which it isnt right to make some blaming on the casino.

In other words, the convenient stuff that gamblers are experiencing in that casino isn't really a factor that contributes to their addictive gambling.

The gambler itself is the one who is building their interest to gamble more, not because of those mentioned stuff but rather self-interest.

Maybe on the way, they have won big that's why they keep on playing and risking their money to experience that feeling again and again.

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

Greed and having early success in betting, once you tasted how it feels to win big bucks fuels your desire to make money from gambling, and your mindset change from fun to profit when you see how other people make quick bucks from gambling and their success it will trigger addiction because you want to find out if you can imitate the success of the guy, so we can say imitation and success are two big factors that make a player addictive to gambling.

When you do have these early experiences then pretty sure that you might be ending up yourself on minding that you should play more to earn or win more, until you do experience
these losses and would be ending up on frustration and make up some realization that this isnt how gambling works. Things that do add up about addiction is that you do chase up your losses.
Other casino things turns out to be standard and just like the rest been saying that it would be normal that they would really be that mindful on how to hook up their
players and making them stay on using up these kind of ways or standard protocols and add ups.

A casino with very Beautiful ladies as staffs or where beautiful women come to meet chill or meet men who can spend on them will definitely be of interest to men and they will spend more time in these casino's gambling than they would spend in other casinos. I personally will pick and spend more time in a casino with beautiful women than a casino with just unattractive faces. This can be a weird reason, but it can contribute to form addictive gambling.

the marketing strategy of using beautiful women to make casino customers feel at home has been around for a long time and is indeed one of the factors that causes addiction.
because if a man has a lot of money and likes the woman, he will meet the woman every day and be willing to spend the money in his pocket to gamble at the casino.
and if the woman knows that the man likes her, surely the woman has a way so that the man can spend even more money at gambling by means of spoiled seduction etc.
I agree that women in casinos are a contributing factor to addiction.

I agree that women in casinos are a contributing factor to addiction.

I don't think so. Doesn't make sense to consider that.

If those people you are referring to will try or make an attempt to date that woman then definitely, the focus will be shifted to that woman and not to gambling anymore. I doubt gamblers will just go to a casino just to see those women since why there if there's a much better place to visit for that purpose?

That was just a side entertainment but not a big reason to consider why gamblers are lurking in casinos.

[famososMuertos]

I do not believe that there are 100% factors that determine whether a user becomes addicted, it is the individual, it is something that there is no way to correct when you have a diagnosis of compulsive gambling, unless you simply do not gamble, it is a myth to blame marketing , business strategies, etc.

Normal people who can gamble after going through critical phases of uncontrolled gambling are cured, they are not born with this condition, the addict develops the disease, and the only cure for him is to stay away from the casinos.

In any case, it is a complex and sad issue for those who suffer from it and their family environment. Therefore, the recommendation is to stay away from any type of bets.

The environment he associates with and the heavy burden at work can also make people end up addicted because they go to casinos or try to play at online casinos to relieve stress but it is difficult to control themselves for when to stop and when to return to playing.
But all of these reasons cannot be used as a justification for someone becoming addicted to gambling, because there are many gamblers who can still control them even though they also have the opportunity to become addicts so they cannot blame anyone because everyone must be responsible for all the activities they do.

Casinos will do anything to ensure that gamblers spend more time playing and lose all of their money. I haven't heard that story in a casino before—only there are girls inside the casino who make you lose more. But my view on this was that it is still our decision to be persuaded on this, even if those are the factors. If you know for yourself that you cannot control yourself when you are under the influence of alcohol, then it is better to not accept it. Also, this is not the basis for the court's decision, as the casino can defend itself in a variety of ways.

how can drunk people play gambling, if that happens it's a stupid mistake in my opinion, I have to have a focus on playing gambling for example casinos because sometimes when we are aware we are playing gambling it will be better because we can stop the game at any time when we win big or the money runs out, usually gambling addicts have no control over themselves like what OP said that alcohol is one of the causes of people losing money in gambling and finally becoming curious about their defeat trying to keep playing until the end

The same question on how can a drunk people can kill someone without a gun, a drunk people are still remember anything, but they just can't control themselves to limit their action. It will be worse if they gamble on traditional casino since someone might ask him to always gamble until his funds run out.

Even you're not in drunk, it's better to gamble when you're in fit situation, don't gamble when you're sick since it could make your ill become bad, don't gamble when you're stress since you might not gamble for fun.

In the end, it all comes to how the gambler can control himself.

The first time I read the whole post of OP, I laughed a bit just because on how he brings up that "free alcoholic drink" as the reason why he lost too much money. At first place, he can just ignore or not to get those free drinks if he really doesn't want to, right? If he didn't try those alcoholic drinks, will he lose his money? I don't think so unless that man is really addicted to the point that it doesn't need alcoholic drinks just to empty his wallet.

Overall, self-control really is a very important trait especially when you are gambling. Knowing when to continue and when to stop is a big thing. Not having a self-control and discipline will lead to these kinds of things. Wallet getting empty, savings being gone because of gambling etc.

Now with regards to other factors that can contribute to addictive gambling, I believe peer pressure is one.

What you just explained has nothing to do with the cause of addiction in gambling, this is just a means to lure anyone to gamble, but will certainly not lead to addiction since you can get women everywhere. It could only lead to more patronage though but certainly not addiction. This is not particular to gambling alone, restaurants and bars also do it, but it doesn't cause addiction. When you finish your money at that moment, then it ends in most cases, but addiction is worse than that.

People intoxicated with alcohol tend to have lower self-control and can easily be persuaded by the people around them to do stupid stuff. Hence why you see why booze and other alcoholic drinks are readily available in casinos. That is for people to do the wrong decisions and continue losing money in the casino.

If you are drinking alcohol and have drunk one too many, you'll understand that everything goes simply past you and you won't even care that much about what you're going to say or what you're going to do unless it will put you in harm's way.

I've never been swooned by beautiful casino staff at all in my 5 years of gambling and visiting these places. Sure they are nice to look at, but they don't really give that much of a persuading appeal to me to continue playing.

yes, that's why I said that playing gambling must be conscious because when in a conscious state we have control to stop playing or continue the game, playing in an unconscious state will make us lose a lot of money like my friend's case and that is quite a lesson for him in the future not to do it again

[gabbie2010]

It's the casino's strategy to offer these free services, drinks, food, rooms, etc. to entice people to gamble more. They make gamblers feel comfortable and at ease and also offer the best service and commodities to attract people to gamble more. That's why some casinos give their VIPs free hotel stays, drinks, and other services. The more you spend the more they pamper you. Any business will do this, so you can't blame the casino.

A gambler who visited Casinos should be well disciplined even when offer free drinks in form of enticement else such gambler will ended up bankrupted before leaving the Casino probably will be carried away with the enjoyment offered, personally I will visit a casino only with a fix amount of money budgeted for gambling and wouldn't spend above that amount once I lost the whole fund I am done for the day even with whatever entertainment offered, I wouldn't be carried away with whatever VIP treatment offered to me because my financial discipline.

But at least it has succeeded in getting the gamblers to return to the casino many times and has indirectly made them addicted to gambling even though it's not yet too heavy. Using the beautiful woman strategy to accompany gamblers when they play gambling will tempt gamblers to continue gambling and spend their money to get wins and show off to the beautiful woman next to them that he is a lucky gamblers. Maybe it takes time for the gambler to become addicted but at least there is a chance to make a gambler who is addicted to gambling. So you have to be careful with this because the casino will use ways you are unaware of to become a gambling addict.

What peer pressure are you talking about?

Each of us chooses our own path. You wouldn't jump off a roof if your peers did, would you? I'm sure that no, because you have your own head on your shoulders and you are well aware of what it will lead to.

But why is it that when peers are into gambling and invite you to join, you think it's pressure? Each of us can refuse any offer, like free alcohol in a casino.

That's true and even hotel businesses do this. They will offer a cheaper price on your next day and they will even add the breakfast buffet for free just so you will feel like you are a king while staying with them. That way, a chance of staying one more day can happen and who knows maybe it goes on for a week.
Now, if it becomes a hotel and casino it becomes seriously expensive. IMO, this type of setting is only for the rich.
I'd rather pick a casino-only establishment to avoid unnecessary expenses like food, and drinks, and if you decide to stay the night and feel lazy to go home, or drunk.

I actually reckon it's more of a first-time kind of incite? I reckon repeated actions that are due to beautiful ladies/women would be either because the man is inherently a playboy, or is truly in love. Either way, I don't think it causes gambling addiction that much, if it did, I'd reckon they're in the very minor part of gambling addicts. Even the reason that they started getting addicted because they were invited just simply means that attraction sped up the process, one way or another if they met gambling they'd still turn addicted.

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?

Talk about the factors that make up gambling addiction. the answer will be very relative and very diverse, depending on each individual. and in our current discussion is, alcoholic beverages. in fact, alcoholic beverages cannot actually be an indicator of someone becoming addicted to gambling. As for what actually happens, when a person consumes too much alcoholic beverages, he has the potential to behave unnaturally. whether it's his behavior, or losing the way to think rationally.

So actually what's wrong in this case is the man who is the character in this story, not even the gambling house. throughout my experience, especially in land-based casinos that have big names. the casino always provides the facilities and luxuries they provide to pamper their guests including free drinks. so, in this case the man is not responsible for himself.

As for other factors that contribute to forming gambling addiction, none other than yourself. how do you define gambling itself and how should you react to it. Apart from that, the factors of responsibility and self-control are also understanding which can prevent you from becoming a gambling addict.
