Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction.

[Wiwo]

Yes because as person like me, who loves sports will be one of those people who are probably be addicted in sports betting for example because at first we love sports and then sometimes we like to bet as well to show our support to the team. The only thing that I knew to stop being addicted is to have a discipline to ourselves , we have to limit our spending as much as we want it.

Your gambling behavior is not included in the category of gambling addiction because you only bet on your favorite sports team and usually a person has no more than 2 sports teams from all major football leagues, you can also limit spending in gambling, so gambling problems are easily handled without the help of others Otherwise, if you want to leave gambling activities because you support your favorite team, you don't have to have to bet on sports betting. There are many other activities that we can do to highlight the popularity of our favorite sports team, better than other teams.

Agree agree with erep on the fact that your gambling behaviour is not in the category to be classified as gambling addictions this is because you only bet to support your club,  but then again I am sure this support is born out of your confidence in your club,  and that confidence is what makes you be able to stake your money on the club.

But what I will like you to know also, that aside from your love for the club as a fan, if you continue to bet on the club excessively, even if you lose or win, it could then become a case of addiction, but if betting is what you do occasionally it then means you just a fan, not an addict.

But those ads varies based on your browsing activities. That means that you have to limit yourself browsing those casinos so that it won't click on the algo of the ads and won't show you anything.

Though this is a good idea and it's another initiative for one to stop or at least counter measure his addiction. If there are no other options made then you have to do anything that you can for you to do something with your addiction in gambling.

Just do any method you think that's going to work best for you.

All the more reason I think why OP was suggesting it, is exactly because people who gamble has already set their interest into gambling itself, so the algorithm of google has already set advertisements that they would receive. But again, as I've said before I don't really think this is going to work. There's probably higher chances of someone moving on from gambling if they shut off the internet for a month and take a good vacation somewhere.

There are many other activities that we can do to highlight the popularity of our favorite sports team, better than other teams.

Being supportive isn't really in the realms of addiction. They usually have discipline in the first place, and see gambling as not a source of income, rather just a side hobby to include when watching sports, so I reckon you're fine.

Gambling, in my opinion is an activity that can be addicted more easily than cigarettes and similar tobacco products because gambling has become quite easy in today's conditions. Especially considering that it is very easy to gamble online there is no difficulty in gambling compared to the past. This not only helps many users access gambling more easily but also allows gambling addicts to gamble continuously. For example, if gambling was something that could only be played in physical offices or casinos many addicts would not be able to visit the place for various reasons, and they would be freed from gambling addiction.

In my personal opinion, if gambling is only physically playable in casinos, gambling addicts will be able to get rid of gambling addiction more easily because they will have more difficult access to gambling. Of course, this will not be a sure solution but if access to gambling becomes difficult many addicts will have a chance to get rid of this addiction as they will stay away from gambling.

Everything that is done in excess, then the result is not good. addiction, by the way, is not something foreign to us. as you said, for example addiction to cigarettes, or addiction to other types even more extreme than that. but the point is the same, all of them are equally addicted even though in different cases. IMO, as I said at the beginning, anything that is done in excess is not good. the point is, we can not necessarily compare for every case of addiction. and if we want to compare them, you should be equipped with data and scientific research results related to addiction.

Talking about online casinos, there will always be pluses and minuses to online gambling. one of the advantages, we can gamble without visiting the place or location of a casino. also, we can play wherever we want. minus, if someone does not have more understanding about gambling, then he has the potential to become an addict. especially those who don't have other activities, for example work or an activity that allows us not to be able to play it all the time.

Well, if we compare it to land-based casinos, the points are the same. although hindered by distance and place, in the end they will find a way to visit the land casino. So, after all, someone who is addicted will have his own way to fulfill his desires, including the cigarette addicts you mentioned in this post. Then, how to stop online gambling addiction. the answer is very simple, in every case of addiction has a different way of healing. the point is, we alone are able to escape the snares of addiction. how to do it, realize it and be determined to make changes accompanied by high intentions and desires. the rest, can visit people who are experts in this field.

Now with online gambling and casinos always browsing adds where a gambler is enough to get addicted to gambling. In this case, he must stay away from electrical devices, especially laptops and mobile phones, from those browsing that are directly related to gambling and casinos.
No matter what is said a gambler will never be able to stop himself from gambling and casinos if he does not change his mindset. It is possible for a gambler to refrain from gambling only when he develops an anti-gambling attitude in himself.

Electrical devices is a must. I think that people will not able to stay away from their gadget even for a few minutes. There is also another solution like increasing his activities. It will be helping someone to refocusing his power to the another activity.
As long as a gambler has an intention to leave from their addiction and it will happen even though this really needs a long term progress to make it happen.

There have been many gamblers are losing their mind due to their addiction to the gambling. Im not seeing as a problem as long as the gambler will able to control their emotions.
They can still play it with limited time and money. The addiction can't be 100% removed.

There are many things that a gambler has to do to stay away from gambling but that might not be done as quickly as possible but must slowly build a new habit. Making new habits is also useful for changing our mindset, which so far only thinks about gambling. And when we get used to this new habit, we will see how much interest we have in gambling. If that interest has begun to decrease, that means we have succeeded step by step in staying away from gambling and we must keep doing it until we have no interest in gambling. But this is not easy because it takes a strong will to do it.

When he lives in a community where electronic equipment such as cellphones, laptops, PCs can be easily obtained also with a stable internet connection it is impossible for anyone to avoid using these devices, so even if these types of equipment are a way for people to be able to gamble then what he really has to do is to generate the desire not to gamble from within himself or even gambling but within limits according to his abilities.
Many ways can be done to prevent us from gambling, but if it doesn't come from ourselves then the method can be bypassed to return to gambling. I won't be able to gamble if I don't use a VPN or mirror site, so I will return to gambling when I have access to a VPN and if the gambling site I use has a mirror site.

We scout out solid measures to quit gambling, specifically pointing to the addicts, they do suffered alot and have lost enormous amounts of money in this process. There's numerous measures that would stop gambling addiction, perhaps it begins from ourselves and decisions. We might want to stop but deep down, we still have the determination to gamble which will be absolutely impossible for us to quit. Gambling is not an easy activity to anticipate in, rather we should stick to the plan of making good sources of incomes, other than settling for gambling which is unreliable and risky.

[Davidvictorson]

Here is it;

I am of the opinion that since gambling sites are mostly online and some has adds that pops up as advert on visited site, one should be able to disable or change their browser settings  by blocking casino adds and as well disabling  gambling sites on their browser settings so as not to gain access to it anymore till the number of days they deem fit to their resolve. This was just a little tip I gave as a possible solution. I had to put it up here for further discussions so that the bigger community can see it as  well.

If you feel or think here is not the right place for this you can say it. I am open to corrections as we all are here to learn.

This is one of the solutions. But you can't actually block gambling adds. They are everywhere - on social media sites, on a football match is on, in medium of transport you use, they are there. And if you have friends who are gamblers, will you unfriend them too? They will act as triggers. Other ways are disciplined gambling which entails, time-management, money-management, accountability, not chasing loses, taking part in other outdoor activities other than gambling, and last but not least speaking to a confidant about your gambling habit.

It’s very hard to pin point anyone with an online gambling addiction because you don’t see them playing physically and most of them doesn’t share their experiences even with partners and closest friends if they are losing huge amount since this is shameful.

And it’s very hard to to give an advice for an online gambling addict to stop because online gambling is very accessible. Yeah sure, it’s easy to tell them to self control or whatever advice but it’s very hard to implement in actual because gambling games is so addictive. They will not fall on addiction state if self control is easy to achieve. I will leave this part to professionals on how to solve this kind of issue.

Clear cache is another one.

If you don't want to see it and you keep on seeing it, that's one thing you need to do but at the same time, you also need to stop visiting casinos if you want to do the counter measure.

Just clear browsing history and cache but if that doesn't help, I agree to your suggestion to just avoid all devices and even smart phones.

That's going to force the mind of that gambler to stop doing so because he's got no way of doing and accessing. Also, in alternative for it, try to find another hobby.

Well because gambling addiction is very different from other types of addiction, for example like drugs, they can see someone who is addicted to drugs through some urine tests for example and will definitely be positive. But for gambling addiction it is certainly not like that, there is no physical effect that they will feel and will not be visible to others. True, most addicted gamblers won't tell others or even their closest friends that they are addicted, it's quite possible. Honestly, I've said before that any advice you give to those who are already addicted to gambling will have no effect at all, for them it's just a breeze. They are already at their breaking point, and not a few of them are sacrificing valuable possessions to gamble. In fact, putting too high ambitions in gambling is very wrong, we must realize with our common sense that gambling is just about luck, no matter how much you pursue something uncertain in the end defeat will dominate you. So it's better to start taking more breaks, do other positive things outside of gambling so that our minds don't remember about winning there.

But reminding those people can somehow help them to limit their bad gambling habits. If there are people who are constantly checking up on you, some might feel motivated to do better. It's not really a hopeless case even if someone is addicted on online gambling, as long as they are willing and determined to change, nothing is impossible.

The only time it will become impossible to overcome is when they've disregard the concerns given to them and become impulsive and irrational anyways. People can be greedy and this sadly causes most of their downfalls. Being too independent too because of having the "i can do it all alone" idea in their minds. It's not bad to be helped, be guided, and supported after all. Gambling addiction can be solved by right intervention, willingness, and having the strong support system.

Reminding those people to have that courage to accept things that being notice from how they are acting in terms of their participation from gambling practices, I think it may help them to open something in them that may break that silence since there are people who already noticing changes with their gambling practices.

I get your point that it will help, especially if the person is already being lured by gambling dominance from their own self.

It's your self-will that allows you to move or quit away from any possible addiction that you have inside you.

Gamblers who want to stop gambling will look for these methods and try them one by one, but it's not as easy as one might think because when he is trying every method, there will definitely be temptations that make him return to gambling. Only a gambler who sticks to his desire to stop gambling can carry on so well until finally he can really stop gambling. They will not stop trying until they can really stop gambling and that determination can help them. At the same time, others will only return to gambling because they are tempted to play gambling again.

No matter what is said a gambler will never be able to stop himself from gambling and casinos if he does not change his mindset. It is possible for a gambler to refrain from gambling only when he develops an anti-gambling attitude in himself.

Exactly, it totally depends on a person himself whether he can prevent himself from gambling or not and nothing else can be effective in keeping them away from gambling or casino platforms. We live in a world where everything is digital and we literally can't breathe without the internet these days, and for someone to stay away from devices and the internet is like not eating food which is a basic essential to stay alive, so that is totally not an option.

So for a person who wants to stay away from gambling or gambling ads, they will need to develop self-control in themselves so that they don't get attracted to those ads as even if they remove browsing history, browser cache, or do anything, there will always be some way or another where they will see something related to gambling.

[darewaller]

Stopping advertisement, disciplined bank roll and shutting Internet won't help in stopping the addiction. If you are addicted then first acknowledge your addiction and then work on the probable solution. It is not easy to acknowledge that is for sure. My simple suggestion would be to join a group of addicticts who are facing the same problem and want to get rid of it. A proper councelling can also help in stopping an addict from ruining his life and that of the others.

Counseling is the best option here, if you’re already addict you already need professional advice and of course a big support from your family. Being addict can cause a lot of depression, stress and anxiety especially if you are losing money. Getting away on any platform with regards to gambling can help but I see this as an temporary solution, if you really want to recover then start looking for help.

I think I can agree on it because there is no way we can totally stop the ads about gambling. We are only too small for them. We also can't shut down the internet because it is useful on other things that we do or our family members are using it. Speaking of family members, some of them won't care to their other family members and then an addicted gambler can also hide his condition to his family members. If that is the case, we can only see the experts on our own.

It only becomes a problem if we don't have other sources of income because we already use our money in gambling as we are addicted to it. Anyway, we can try seeking a help from other people, to our friends or to our local government. Maybe there are also some who offer a free service in regards to this matter.

Indeed, there are many methods that can help reduce gambling addiction. One effective way is engaging in various activities throughout your day which can divert your attention from the urge to gamble. Also I think it'll be better if you limit your internet usage and avoid browsing sites that might tempt you to gamble again. Anyone is free with which method it'll work the best for himself but for me I think the way I just decreased my gambling activities is when I tried to make myself busy with other stuffs during the day.

this method will not be effective because currently there are many sites that are important and often open, people always display advertisements from gambling sites and it makes them but if those who don't want to gamble will not pay attention to these advertisements, gambling is an activity that for most people is a means of entertainment, while some people think that gambling is a means to get rich in a short time, the most important thing is that as long as we can control the intensity of our struggle then there will be no problem with gambling, gambling is not a bad thing.
