Too accessible of online casino grows addiction faster?

[goaldigger]

I have the same explanation To him and we all know that Once we can access to a gambling every day for sure that the addiction is very high and also it will make more higher if when a gambler play and win His or her bet. While in the physical casino of you have stable job it will make your time conflict. As we all know that you can not bring the casino everywhere. While online casino you can play whenever you are .

Online casinos run realtime without time limits and can access them anywhere using a mobile device so you can instantly access online gambling. Efforts to overcome online gambling addiction must have other work routines to reduce cellphone use activities, you will automatically not access online gambling so always doing this habit will reduce gambling addiction except in spare time.

If you have a lot of free time, better to spend it on the other things except for gambling, you should limit yourself and always have the budget to avoid addiction. You cannot blame the accessibility of online gambling for your losses, you are responsible to that so better to start with yourself. Maybe there's a feature on your phone or pc that can easily restrict any gambling site which can help you not to be exposed that much. Gambling is very risky, you should know how to control yourself and your time with gambling, do it as your priority.

The growth of technology such as internet, mobile phone, etc as well as the growth of the online gambling industry does affect the possibility of faster addiction.
It is an undeniable fact but we should not blame the growth of technology and gambling industry if the addiction is also growing fast.
We responsible for ourselves and responsible for our own family, we should know how to prevent the possibility of getting addicted to something.
In this case, we should aware about the positive and negative effect of technology and gambling industry if we do not want to be affected negatively.

Nowadays with the advancement of technology, teenagers are addicted to hundreds of games including online ludu carrom pubg game which is very popular among the youth free fire. Most of the sites in these games are operated from outside the country new sites are growing every day to increase the demand. There are also reportedly game based mobile apps. So teenagers are also getting involved in such crimes. Many people are becoming destitute on these online gambling platforms this will help the family to prevent addiction.

Technology is growing faster and this addiction of a thing is not affecting online casinos only, I remember when smartphones become popular year's ago, almost everyone on the road are always busy pressing their phones, the addiction became so noticeable that news are warning people to stop the habit, that's after few turned into accident...

Now we have handheld gaming devices and I am more addicted to gaming than when I used to play on my PC, tired of sitting for hours when I am on PC but since when I got my first Nintendo Switch I spent more hours on the device, it's more accessible.

So to me this addiction is everywhere, technology is making things more easier to access.

He said with online gambling it's available on through mobile phones and you can play at any time, this means no shortage of gambling around the clock and no shortage of losing money as well, you can easily pull out your phone and gamble with any free time, a bit compulsive and too accessible.

What do you think about this claim? Is he right or wrong? 

Gambling addiction is a very familiar term. May be it is land based casino or online casino. Addiction can reach heights from two directions. However, online casinos are generally more attractive to a gambler because it is easy to operate anywhere. Nowadays online casinos can be easily deposited by credit card or other online payment methods, thus a gambler is able to deposit as much as he wants. Where an online casino gambler can have uninterrupted gambling activities without any restrictions. Considering these aspects, it can be assumed that online gambling is more attractive ‍and accessible to gamblers than offline gambling. ‍

I have a discussion with a close relative about online gambling and he said something that about how he hate gambling online because it's too addictive, he claimed real life casinos are better and less addictive because he will have to drive down to Las Vegas to gamble or drive down to a local casino and this still takes some physical effort and it discourages many people from frequenting gambling.

He said with online gambling it's available on through mobile phones and you can play at any time, this means no shortage of gambling around the clock and no shortage of losing money as well, you can easily pull out your phone and gamble with any free time, a bit compulsive and too accessible.

What do you think about this claim? Is he right or wrong? 

I agree that it is easier to get addicted to online gambling than when you have to go and visit a land-based casino. In fact I can also put it this way so that the rate at which gambling addiction has increased is more than what it used to be in the past due to the advent of online crypto gambling. It is easily available; you can do it from anywhere at any time. There is no opening or closing hours; you can easily fund your wallet and stay online gambling without knowing what is happening outside, so it is easier because it is easily available. And a lot of people are dealing with these addictions and don't know how to stop them. I hope something is done soon.

This means that regarding access to the casino itself, if it comes to the level of addiction all casinos are equally bad. Luckily your relatives have a pretty reasonable perspective if you say access to a physical casino you may not always visit them every day or every minute. But with the presence of online casinos, people are much easier to access and with a simple deposit method, it is clear that there is a significant difference in terms of a faster addiction rate.

[SirLancelot]

you can easily pull out your phone and gamble with any free time, a bit compulsive and too accessible.

What do you think about this claim? Is he right or wrong? 

Though I believe that one should have enough control on their emotions and actions, but I still agree to this somehow. Someone tends to do something more often if it's easily accessible for them and if they are not required to put in some efforts for it. Still, I think it also depends on the person's mindset and personal preferences of how they want to limit each stuff they do in their spare time.

In my experience, he is right because, for example, if you need to travel for an hour to gamble then probably you will never gamble or very rarely gamble. This is applicable for all kind of evil things like drinks.

That's the problem people can easily access a gambling site which is very hard to resist if you are just in front of your PC or phone. The ability to control is the one thing needed, Set limits on the amount of time and money spent gambling, avoid chasing losses, and of course, take a break or put a timer if you feel that you are spending too much on gambling.

Nowadays online casinos can be easily deposited by credit card or other online payment methods, thus a gambler is able to deposit as much as he wants.

I think that this is another issue with online payment gambling is that it can be difficult for people to keep track of how much they are spending on gambling, which can make it easier for them to overspend.

It seems there has to be limit to addiction about gambling platform actually after easy way how deposit fund trough credit card, we don't know about how may people losing their control in gambling platform after finding easy way operate gambling platform on anywhere due have fastest internet access. My country have little restriction about offline gambling and have legal protection, there are not easy how to make offline gambling transaction but easy accessing with online or cryptocurrency gambling with credit card support deposit every time people having addiction in gambling will be active.

[Frankolala]

A gambler is a gambler,either be it online or offline,if he does not discipline himself and control his gambling activities, he will become an addict. Though, for those gamblers that has access to both,I agree with you that they will get more addicted easily because you can gamble at your own time and at anywhere you find yourself.

One thing I know for sure is that people that becomes addict are been carried away by the fun of the game or they are one way or the other trying to chase their lost.

[rahmad2nd]

Addiction is possible through free games too, but people always count it as fun since money is not involved. What people often term as addictive in gambling is what is taking money from them and not being able to do without it. But this context goes beyond that and all have to be checked according to their influence on individuals.

I'm glad that am not addicted to anything, and immediately I notice any iota of addiction irrespective of whether money is involved or not, I start fighting it ASAP. I expect everyone to do the same.

We should be able to see if addiction is coming to us so we can prevent it before it gets us into trouble. Gambling addiction can occur to people who don't know when to stop and instead continue playing because playing gambling is very exciting and can make us forget everything.

And with the ease of internet connection that we can get easily nowadays, someone can become addicted without even realizing it. And if our minds always think about gambling, it might be a sign that we have started gambling addiction, and we should immediately take precautions before it really happens.

In many cases, many of the gamblers do not realize that they have experienced addiction. in particular, those who do not belong to any community. it is even possible that we are addicts ourselves, even though we often deny it. addiction, can cover many things and not just on gambling alone. in today's technological era, everything makes it easier for us through internet access, mobile games, tik tok, anything can cause addiction, especially related to gambling.

So, the problem is how do we react to it. actually, there are many pros and cons regarding the Op's question as well as various comments and opinions from our members. but really, it all depends on each individual. if we have full awareness and responsibility, then hobbies that involve gambling will not have a big impact on addiction, it won't even harm the people around us.

You are right on which it doesnt matter on what are the things that it is in front of him,if he's really that tending to make out some gambling act then he would definitely do it.Although there is indeed some points that

having more accessibility or much easier path for you to gamble is really contributing into that kind of molding of your addiction.It do always falls down on someones perceptive and thinking on how they would really

be handling out themselves in speaking about gambling whether they would really be having that in control or would really be just having that impulsive approach.
Each person does have their own will whether they are already doing it too much or not.

You say some great things, you encompass a large part of what can cause addiction in a site, in retrospect I think that this can be summed up more than all in number 1, and it is that everything is summed up there, that you can only make yourself spend what they are destined to lose, and most people when they go to play they only think about what they are going to win but they do not think about what they are going to lose, what they are going to lose they do not even take it into account, many times they ignore it, And the biggest blow is when they lose, so many times when these things happen, the blow is so strong that they can cause many side effects that directly affect people's emotions.

Until you teach people about the futility of gambling or unless they are in a position where they understand that gambling is more often than not throwing money away, you'll never be able to change this behavior. Some people are genuinely in control but still know that they are going to lose to these places in the long run and are content with it as just a basic form of entertainment, which can be relatively harmless as long as it's just a small amount of their net worth. In reality though, many people do live near physical locations that could equally wipe out their bank balance - whether just slot machines or a race course where they can bet on horses, it just depends on how hooked they have become.

Believe it or not, there are a lot of gamblers that are extremely superstitious. Most of them do not think about losing because they believe that it attracts bad luck, and if they think about what they could possibly lose, then it's like they're manifesting the loss to happen. Even I don't like to think that I might lose, because it might just happen and I'll just blame myself for 'manifesting' the loss that occurred to me. This is why it's important to set a fixed budget if you're looking to gamble, otherwise you won't be able to control the outflow of cash from your pockets.

I don't think it's a very strong claim. Because I don't have such a problem when I gamble. I know my own limits. I know when I should gamble. So my own experience tells me that this claim is not very strong. On the other hand, it is not an outlandish claim. Because it has a logical basis. For some people, gambling addiction can create such problems. However, I like online gambling more. I think it reduces my stress level. Someone else may have different opinions. I always respect them.

A gambler can become addicted to both offline and online platforms. But comparatively the trend of addiction in online will be more than offline. If a gambler is addicted to gambling on a land based casino platform he should go there. But online casino is only possible if you want it from your heart. There is no need to leave the place, even gambling can be conducted from laying on the bed, so the addiction to online casinos can grow quickly.
