Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction.

[wxa7115]

My point is that as long as we have the internet, online gambling will not disappear. We will see them again and again, so the online casino cannot be stopped unless it is found by the government to operate illegal online gambling.

Even the government can find the online casino that operated illegally, it's not entirely stop the online casino because the new one will comes up and the government has no way to ban every new casino site. Stopping an online casino is like stopping Bitcoin, you can't.

Online casino isn't bad too, as long as the gambler can control themselves and know about money management, they will be fine.

Governments play a game of whack-a-mole with criminals, it is true that since the demand for gambling games is very high, not only legal casinos have appeared but illegal ones as well, and while governments cannot stop the appearance of those illegal casinos, what they can do is to detain the persons behind an illegal casino in particular.

And once they do they can accuse them of a multitude of crimes, as establishing such an operation is a complex and expensive endeavor and the persons behind it can spend a great deal of time behind bars because of it.

The government can only control legal casinos that have registered with them so that the government can monitor them more closely. There may be methods that the government will use to monitor illegal casinos and we don't know what they are. But with reports from many users about casinos that are suspected to be illegal, the government is investigating them and finding out whether the casinos are illegal or are processing their legality with one regulator.

But people must understand that they are responsible for gambling or want to stop their addiction, which has nothing to do with where they play. He can play in legal or illegal casinos but still control himself not to gamble excessively. But if he gambles in an illegal casino, he must be careful because the government could investigate his casino and he could also be trapped and arrested. So, someone should avoid gambling in illegal casinos because now many legal casinos are safer for gambling.

Want to get rid of gambling as demand is at a point where it is difficult to refrain from. In addition to these the way to prevent gambling addiction will depend on the person's own wishes. If there is any other emotional stress problem or big event beyond the gambling, it should also be well analyzed. Whenever you want to gambling online, you will work away from the phone. You can go somewhere for a few days or go to relatives' house the last thing is to stay away from the phone so that the gambling will return to normal.

If you want to stop gambling addiction, the first step you must take is to tell the people closest to you, such as your family or wife, about your situation. They will give you control to avoid gambling, whether online gambling or land casinos. If that's not enough, then limit yourself from accessing deposits on gambling sites, maybe you need to delete mobile banking and empty all crypto assets so that when the urge to gamble arises you don't have access to deposits on gambling sites. It does take hard work and determination to stop gambling addiction, but it is not impossible, it is better to stop before you lose everything

Someone's situation that deals with other problems will trigger his own desire to put that pressure on something else like gambling. That's why prevention is hard to do when you're also dealing with other things. And having that will to stop starts from you, you just can't say that in words but you need to prove that to yourself and show it that you're doing the right actions for your own ways of stopping it.

Whenever you want to gambling online, you will work away from the phone. You can go somewhere for a few days or go to relatives' house the last thing is to stay away from the phone so that the gambling will return to normal.

Not just from phones but also from other devices, desktop/laptop, or any device where you'll be able to gain access to any online casino. Just do other things so your attention will be divided and that will be one way for you to at least do something to stop.

Quitting online gambling addiction is a massive challenge for those who have fallen into it. Most people addicted to gambling may be aware of the consequences that gambling causes, but they seem to have no way to control or resist the temptation of gambling. Determination to quit addiction is necessary and a top priority if gambling addiction treatment is to be effective. It is easy to give up treatment or relapse into gambling after a short period if you continue to live in a gambling environment, so staying away from gambling environments is a must.
I think, In some cases, seeing a psychologist will bring good results for the detoxification process.

sometimes people take this addiction problem too seriously. I mean addiction is not as bad or not as difficult as we imagine, it just takes time and realizing yourself not to keep betting to avoid gambling addiction.
someone who sometimes gambles without having signs of addiction, in the end when they feel comfortable with the game someone will turn into a compulsive gambler and this must be realized from the start that the way gambling works is to provide entertainment facilities without having to come every day and we also have to understand the bad things gamble in the long term if you bet on gambling every day.

IMO, even if someone is in a gambling business environment or lives in a country where gambling is legal, it will not be a problem as long as they have awareness of how to use gambling properly without having to continue betting every day which results in addiction.

Addiction meaning that you do a activity on abusive manner and that is so wrong. Since this can create a problem not only on yourself but also with people around you.

But if you think you are still doing good on your gambling activity then you are doing a great job, but for other they should think about the consequences of getting into this situation since any excessive act is truly bad to anyone. But its your belief about there's no problem with that and I respect your opinion.

The gamblers take gambling addiction serious,they start to advice their co-gamblers to stop the gambling addiction.But if the gambling addiction person play the gambling in the control deposit,it’s enough and no need to stop the gambling addiction.The gambling addicts should reduce their time using in the gambling was essential one.So the gamblers will easily get away from the gambling addiction.

You are right those who are addicted to gambling are experienced with the risk and those people (me too) can't stop gambling but it is easy to tell everyone about the way of stopping gambling before making it as addiction. We can say easily anything but we can't do that easily.

Isnt it like that when comes to most things in life, by the way?
It is always easier to say things than making them happen, regardless there is gambling involved or not; and of course when an addiction (behavioral or chemical) is involved in the things we want to change, then the difficulty escalates up to the ceiling.

I have never personally suffered from addiction to gambling, but I have felt hooked up and tempted to chase loses, but I managed to control myself. I cannot imagine how harmful lack of self control can be to those who do not realize they are committing a big mistake by chasing loses eternally.

But we as users can prevent ourselves from experiencing fraud and one of them is looking for casino sites on this forum. It would be better than searching for casinos that are out there, especially from search engines. And if we really want to stop gambling or reduce our gambling addiction, we must continue to try to avoid seeing advertisements that will appear when we are online. Maybe we can limit ourselves to browsing the internet and activate the features in our browsers or social media so that we don't see casino advertisements. It is true that the government will find it difficult to block these new and old casinos, but we must try not to just rely on the government. We must be responsible for what we do and if that means we really want to stop gambling, we must be able to avoid everything related to gambling and have an activity to divert our attention from gambling.

Blocking all the advertising related to casinos while you are online seems like an impossible task, we must not forget that companies like Google or Facebook track your activity online, and if you have shown on the past a great deal of interest on gambling you can be sure they are going to serve you those ads hoping you click on them.

And while there is nothing wrong with that when you are a regular gambler, if you want to leave gambling behind each ad that you see will tempt you to go back to your old ways, and given enough time it will happen.

For Google, when I clear my browser's cookies and history, I won't get an ad anymore related to what I previously searched. We can also hard reset our gadgets if that didn't work. For Facebook, maybe there is a settings about how we see an ad or related to our activity. There should be an option of clearing them and that should be able to fix things, however there is no way to completely stop seeing gambling contents.

Even if you say to quit being online, you can still see them one day on the TV, radio, newspapers, etc... It was only an ad anyway. It shouldn't be totally tempting than if you are already inside the casino, so we shouldn't worry too much.

So you think that deleting cookies and restarting your devices will make Big Tech stop bothering you, huh? Those are just the most obvious answers. If you look deeper, you'll see that the monitoring is about a lot more than just a cookie. Google and Facebook do keep track of everything you do and click on. Still, you're right that gambling ads are everywhere. They're like vultures looking for a meal. Yes, TV, radio, and newspapers are all involved and part of the machine.

But the real challenge isn't avoiding ads; it's figuring out how the gambling business works behind the scenes. This is more than just a game. It's a planned way to take advantage of people who are weak. But sure, they say, "it's just an ad." Remember that each ad is a part of their bigger plan

Though we shouldn't say things or give advice to people that we don't follow ourselves, a lot of people still do it. I've seen it countless times where a person tells me not to do a specific thing and I later find them doing it themselves, and upon asking, they become ashamed but still turn the topic or make an excuse since now it's on them. I never do that myself, when I see someone is doing something that I do myself even though it's not good, I don't stop them because I will be wrong in doing that.

I do the same about gambling or anything that is addictive when I know that I do it as well, I don't have any right to tell someone else not to do it, but when I know that I'm not addicted to gambling and there are ways that I know can make someone stay safe from getting addicted, that's when I go ahead and give the suggestions.

Many of us recommend changing places occasionally to curb gambling. But if the gambler goes to the same place and does the same work in online then there is no point in changing the place. Similarly, if a gambler shares his gambling with other family members, he will get a lot of support from the family. But the biggest thing that works for this is personal awareness. If the gambler can do deep research about gambling and gets a good idea about it then he can definitely control himself. But many people can not control their emotion and for them pressure from family can help them from addiction.

Or just make yourself busy so that you won't think of playing online. Sometimes I just phone my phone on the other room, not beside me so that I won't think of depositing and playing. Although I have my laptop to play, I prefer my games though using my phone.

No sure why is this so, but I guess because I can even play when I was lying down in my bed and obviously I can't do that with my laptop. So just to minimized my online gambling, I put my phone away from me. I don't bother someone calling me and not answering it. I can just check it back someone from the other room like my kids calling me if they see that my phone is ringing.

First thing is how you can find ways to avoid playing, if you can empty your bankroll and all the possible means where you can get money to use for gambling, I agree that it's a hard task but with your willingness to stop and you are open to any help that your love ones or your close friends can provide, it's a good start to move forward and help yourself to accept that mistake and be positive in solving the issue.

It's a good thing that this works for you and I'm really happy it does. But it will really depends on the severity of gambling dependency and addiction a person have. If a person is still on the initial stage or on the developing stage of addiction, this can possibly work since the urge to play and bet isn't that strong compared when you are already dependent on it because of cycled routine. It will be much challenging to be a busy person and to place your device to another room or give it to another person to keep it for you, without you having the sense of wanting to get it back ASAP. The most effective one should be professional intervention and medical treatment if the gambling addiction is developed and is on the later stage.

Firstly I want us to understand that gambling online or offline can be rewarding at time because in one way or the other the player get to win and get paid which brings so sorry of gratification, this can lead to a persistent Indulgence in oder to get that feal of that gratification hence it becomes almost impossible to stop gambling especially online which is such that can be kept secret and only but a few people can know you do such.

Honestly it will be really difficult to quit online gambling but rather it will be best to say you can keep off or probably avoid it for a period of time until you gain control of your habit again then you can resume if you want to but this time with control measures so you don't get burnt trying to make more money especially online as you can always gain access remotely anytime.

Talking about measures you can possibly avoid casino sites over the period of time you have chosen to, you can aswell choose to be restricted as most online casino have options of restrictions for you if you feel you are becoming addicted, if you have them bookmarked or their app installed you may uninstall them or remove them from you bookmark for the period of time you may want to abstain.

I gamble with a low frequency and I do not think I am addicted to gambling. However, despite taking every piece of advice, if I had difficulty quitting gambling or reducing the frequency of my gambling, I would seek professional support. Psychologists or psychiatrists can help people with gambling addiction. If people with addiction cannot control themselves, they may experience social, financial and psychological problems. Getting help from professionals can help them get their life back. 

Remember that nothing is initiate suddenly more serious but initiate stage is normal after which everything get worse. If a person is saying that he is just using little money and gamble for fun then it can be assumed that he will be accurately do this but not all the time because little addiction can be altered into worse addiction after the time flows steadily.

If you set into mind that you will quite gambling because it is not a good thing and imagine its bad characteristics then you can forget it easily. But if you are trying again and again in the hope to be successful one day then this thing in my opinion is better in other fields but not in gambling. Parents should keep check on their children's activities and if they find their involvement in such things then from start they have to stop them.

Addiction is a big problem psychologically and physically, we don't want it to happen to us. But can be possible when we lose control of our gambling habits especially if we are desperate to win and if we are chasing our losses, it causes trouble in our mind and affects our mental capability to determine whether our action is right or wrong. It needs someone who is professional in that situation to help because this is not a casual situation that is easy to manage on our own.
The only way to help ourselves from getting into addiction is to know our limits. I know it was hard because we are in the internet era where it is easy to gain access to online gambling but if we really have to control ourselves earlier, I'd see no problem.

Thats really good, because most of the common man into online gambling prefer spending the time on smartphones. Keeping it away gives good result, and I also follow the same practice. Another thing I never keep my gambling account logged in or have my password saved. Doing so will ease me to get into the platform and gamble whenever required. Keeping the account logged off wants me to login to use it. You could follow this too.

Online gambling are at the best, because we get the best access without any lag on any devices we use. So, we need to be cautious and have limitations set. If not, things could go bad and losing our funds doesn't take much time. At times we get the urge to gamble, by the time we should deviate ourselves towards something else. This could help in staying away from addiction.
