Low cost but effective solutions to gambling addiction

[junder]

It's true, if they want a gambling game but don't want to lose money they can do it with slot-based gambling, although the sensation is different but at least that's slot gambling, because slot gambling also provides a limited budget but even though it can be restarted by itself when it runs out but if we consider it real money then maybe it doesn't feel much different from real gambling. well that's a plus for me, with me playing demo-based gambling there I will get bored faster, so that makes me want to do other things that are more exciting like playing online games that can be played with my friends.

It's true that demo-based gambling also depends on the people who play it, if they really can't avoid their desire to gamble with real money maybe they won't feel at home with demo-based gambling. anyway, the demo gambling that is played in my opinion can still replace their desire to gamble, even though the sensation is different, but if they are satisfied with demo-based gambling then that's not a bad thing.

However, many people lose a lot of money from playing slots because they forget to stop gambling and cannot control themselves because they have discovered the joy of playing slots. But slot games offer a demo mode that gamblers can use to play slots so that they don't have to use real money, especially if they are afraid of losing a lot of money playing those slots. Indeed, when using demo mode, we can quickly feel bored because there is no challenge, especially since it is fake money used or provided by casinos for those who want to experience the sensation of gambling. But playing demo mode can prevent someone from using real money so they won't lose money.

Demo mode slot games can still provide enjoyment in playing slots. At least people can enjoy their free time by playing slots, and even though they place large bets in demo mode, they can still feel safe because no real money is used. But those who have experienced the challenge of using real money do not feel the challenge and will only think that demo mode-based slot games are uncomfortable to play slots with.

That's true, even though they have lost a lot of money, they still do it repeatedly and they enjoy it. Maybe they really enjoy the game so they still gamble despite the losses and defeats they experience. and in many cases those who gamble cannot accept the losses that occur so they have the aim of gambling as to recover losses, even though if they gamble they should be prepared to lose their money. If they really want to gamble but are not prepared to lose real money they can play based gambling. demo, and I'm sure they already know about demo-based gambling.

However, there are people who force themselves to gamble with real money, even if it's the small amount of money they use, and maybe people like this really can't find fun in demo-based gambling, so they still gamble with a small budget. It is possible that they believe in luck, because if they are lucky they will win even if they use a small budget, even though on the other hand they are not ready to lose that money.

One of the solutions which is recommended by most gamblers on this forum for gambling addiction is "Therapy" . Professional help in the form of therapy. It is good and very effective but how many persons can actually afford it? There is a fee for each session that lasts for a duration of 60minutes. And there are more than one session. Therapy for gambling addiction is expensive. How can those who are unemployed afford it? How about the college student? Or the person receiving minimum wage. What are the other low cost but very effective solutions to gambling addiction. And typically how long will it take before the addict starts to feel more in control and less withdrawal symptoms?
Will totally appreciate your responses. Thanks.

No medium can get you out of gambling if you don't put your heart into it. So the cheapest way to quit gambling is to try it yourself and it won't cost you any money.  Otherwise you will fail with your addiction no matter what path you follow. Your plan may work if implemented properly but it is also very expensive which not every family can afford.  Because it has to be done on behalf of the family because no one would ever want to put themselves in such a situation. Who is addicted to gambling.

[Accardo]

It can be done alone but it will be more effective if it is accompanied by the help of others like the suggestion you said by asking for prayers to priests and not only that, on the other hand there must also be an agreement with the closest people to keep us from getting into the same hole like always reminding us every time or preventing us when we want to gamble. Honestly on the other hand I am one of the people who was able to recover from gambling addiction in my own way, did not need the help of others and I did everything based on self-awareness, if you want to get out of gambling then you should try to keep yourself busy with other things one of which is like adding work, don't spend even a little time without activity, do it and let me know if it doesn't work for you.

I've tried engaging in activities every single minute of my time, and when I'm not busy I sleep. These things work, but keeping up with the routine is another work. Which requires will power to accomplish. We've been through problems that takes up our time and doesn't allow us to engage on other activities easily, but sometimes we tend to stop it, but it persists. The best solution is for the person to travel to a place where such activities would be hard for him to participate. Because recently, I saw a friend who told me he's no longer a part of his addiction. And it was as if an easy decision but, he was actually very sick and after he survived it he concluded not to engage in such activities anymore. Something leads to change. Most gamblers who felt they can't stop gambling, only had a rethink when their device had a problem, during the period of fixing the gadget, the gambler began to change his habit on gambling. People behave differently, and not everyone visited a therapist before they got cured of their addiction.

If the gambler is really ready to stop gambling nif not it will be very hard for him to change his mind even at that routine counseling process. I think in the professional therapy, you don't have to spend money to stop. You can just meet your pastor and tell him that you want to stop gambling and you cannot control it, then he will pray for you and still put you in time frame to counsel you everyday for like one month or plus. And if you really ready to stop everything will go down gradually. Because you don't have to force such things to go, it is part of the mind at that time.

One of the things that makes it difficult for gamblers to get out of their gambling activities is that they are very fond of the activity, actually in my opinion it is quite simple formula if you really want to get out of gambling, all addiction diseases are in a person's mindset due to mistakes in putting hope in winning, the point is that if you are able to realize all the mistakes and accept the fact that you can never become a rich man just by gambling then I think it is not difficult for you to get out of this activity.

It can be done alone but it will be more effective if it is accompanied by the help of others like the suggestion you said by asking for prayers to priests and not only that, on the other hand there must also be an agreement with the closest people to keep us from getting into the same hole like always reminding us every time or preventing us when we want to gamble. Honestly on the other hand I am one of the people who was able to recover from gambling addiction in my own way, did not need the help of others and I did everything based on self-awareness, if you want to get out of gambling then you should try to keep yourself busy with other things one of which is like adding work, don't spend even a little time without activity, do it and let me know if it doesn't work for you.

Mindset plays an essential part in overcoming gambling. The psychological hooks in the games matter too. Your method for identifying and correcting gambling hopes is perfect.

I think there's a delicate line. Self-help empowers, but external assistance is important. I find that combining methods works best. Engagement with loved ones, spiritual advice, or support organizations can provide a safety net that self-reliance may lack. Its about a holistic gambling defense.

Finally, dont demonize gambling. For many, its innocent fun. Be moderate and self-controlled. Good idea to stay busy with productive tasks. Using cognitive-behavioral methods, it focuses energy on positive goals. For those seeking balance, this method plus knowledge of gambling's risks can help.

Yes, because addiction is nested in human thought patterns in any case, this concerns habits that people enjoy so that it is one of the reasons why it is difficult for them to get out of activities that are difficult for them to miss, so don't run away from the problem but solve the problem and find out what's wrong and what needs to be improved, I think awareness is one of the big drivers for a change in mindset and beliefs, realizing that this activity is not suitable for you because it only causes a lot of problems for your finances. But on the other hand, why are other people still fine? Every gambler has a different approach, there are some gamblers who don't understand the concept of gambling which is only about chance and there are also those who only focus on winning and they think as if "chance" is a certain thing so that excessive actions occur and they do it.

As I said although my experience  says that I can do it alone by successfully quitting the addiction but on theother hand you can still choose another addition as a boost, which is to involve others in the process of mindset recovery, not too significant but definitely quite helpful. As we know that usually the urge to gamble always comes when we don't have anything to do or mean to have free time, and that means you have to fill the empty time with other activities, like what I did is adding a part-time job, I only have time to sleep and no time to relax, the goal is to make my mind distracted from gambling.

Really, there's only one way out if you've gotten so far as becoming addicted to something and that is going cold turkey. There's no half measures that are going to work, you most likely will suffer even more and make it much harder for yourself if you try to wean yourself off by playing less. You first have to come to terms with and accept the fact that all the money you've put into it over however long, is lost. That is often the most painful part, because if someone has put $50k in, often the thing driving them to continue is the remote chance that they could get back to just break even. Just let it go, because you'll never be getting that money back and define it as an expensive lesson that can keep you away from it in future.

Yes I agree with your idea that gambling is more than just a fun game, there is something they are after and maybe we can already conclude here that they are after a return on the money they put in, or I mean wanting a bigger amount than the capital money they brought. On the other hand, if they're just there for the fun of it then aren't there plenty of other things they can do without the possibility of risk such as playing online games for example? Obviously, and gambling is someone's choice to pursue something that is basically not easy to achieve.

As you said that if fun is the main priority then I think people will prefer to gamble on a demo account which certainly does not require real money capital and only requires free time, so your assumption is quite reasonable in my opinion and it can be a strong reason why people come to gamble.

Yeah, there is a small amount of fun that people get when playing the free games, but that's quickly gone and the interest of actually making real money starts.

At the end of the day it is the idea of making money that is the addictive ingredient, the games, lights, sounds, etc, are all there to help, but they are not the main thing.

One of the things that makes it less fun when we gamble in free mode is that there is no thrill of winning like when we do it on a real account and that is one of the reasons why people are not very interested in free mode when all the games are exactly the same. We can't lie to ourselves that winning is the result we always want even though our main focus is only for fun for example, but I'm sure behind the fun there must be a little purpose in winning, or the situation can be reversed where people prioritize winning over fun, in the sense that it doesn't matter to withstand the various pressures of bad spins that occur as long as the end result is what they want, but when the time comes they are again slapped by the fact that defeat still dominates because luck is not there. Hope and strong belief make them do whatever it takes to chase the uncertain results, this is the idea of making money that is contrary to what happens at the end of the session and also that will never end unless they stop.

Unfortunately, the categories of people you listed - students and the poor - are not able to pay for their treatment, and they will be forced to remain without professional help from clinics, the prices of which are incredibly high. The fact is that the arrogant doctors in such establishments know that gamblers are suffering greatly due to addiction, and they want to extract money from the gamblers. After all, according to their logic, “if a gambler finds money for games, he will also find money for treatment.”

I know the prices in my country for treatment for gambling addiction. And they are huge! But it’s not even this that’s offensive, but the fact that the quality of the services provided there is NOT CAPABLE of curing a gambling addict. As a rule, addicted gamblers are placed together with drug addicts and alcoholics. But gambling addiction is something else! And of course, no healing effect occurs.

A very well articulated statement here, but again, like I would always say that addiction as of different level, some one who is not very much addicted to gambling yet might find it very easy to quit and come out of their gambling addiction through this strategy.

But for that gambler who has become really addicted, this strategy won't work, atleast, I know this for a fact based on my personal experience with a friend of mine, much more like a brother rather.

So, for gamblers who have gone past the stage where they can easily quit gambling as well as their addiction to it through the strategy you stated above, the final solution could be to seek professional /psychological help.

There's no fun on free or demo mode which we know that there's no way that you can lose and there's no way that you could really be able to win up money and this is why people would really be not interested and this is why its not really that shocking that people would really be that sticking into those games on which it does really give out that kind of opportunity or chance
for them to make money and this is why they would really be dealing into those games which does have that real balances. Its true that there's no fun when it comes on dealing
up with something that you cant win or something that doesnt give any value. Yes, its fun on some point but it would just simply vanish on some few rolls.

For me playing in the demo version is quite fun for the beginning of the game but the fun only lasts a few minutes and after that it's boring, on the other hand of course as I said before friends that there are no real wins and real losses in free mode, all that is just a picture that we can see and without us feeling the results if we win so that's what makes most gamblers not put any interest there, some may switch and play in free mode when they run out of money but most people prefer to find money or loans to return to playing in real mode. Agree with you that most gamblers may make gambling as a place of income even though the reality is far from what they always think and expect, the fact is that it is very difficult to get a winning streak there, simply put you will experience 1 win at the expense of 3 - 5 defeats, that's a fact.

Yes, it is true. in fact, gamblers in the name of fun or hobbies are just lies. basically, they want to get more money from gambling winnings, or even some just want to return their lost money. but it is very difficult to return it and, in the end it will only add defeat.

I think Demo accounts are fine to learn the games and see how the casino works, but it's not a substitute for gambling. There might be a few people that look at a demo account as if it was real money and will gamble carefully, the majority of users however will just bet all their money very quickly to achieve the highest possible return. Which is also why this is not a good alternative for someone struggling with gambling addiction. You forget to look at your risk, because you can just top of your balance again once you go broke.

Exactly.

And that shows that the actual interesting part in gambling is the chance to get money. Not the game itself.

Sure, some people might enjoy a game of cards like blackjack for a bit of fun, but that gets boring very quickly if there are no financial incentives in it.

Basically those free games are just ways to attract potential new gamblers into the casino, which after a while they will find it boring and try with money instead.

[Reatim]

Its hard to give gambling effective solution becose one you addected with it it's hard to live. If you want to live gambling addection there is a way spend time with favourite person. Go out make memories with your love. Spend quality time with family its hard to live gambling but it's not impossible. Try to stay away from gambling and give time to your family members friends etc. that will be for effective for reduced addected from gambling.

actually there is no need to spend time in family , better to instead gambling find other income , put your time in profiteering instead of just lurking around gambling houses and gambling sites.
we have seen so much drama in gambling addiction that we surely don't wanna be part off.

This is too wide a generalization, if what you said was true and no one was willing to use any money to entertain themselves then we will not have movies, video games or any other activity which is done for the sole purpose of obtaining some fun with it.

However the evidence shows the demand for those industries does nothing but to go up, so it stands to reason that there are many persons that gamble just for the entertainment they can get out of the games offered by casinos.

[ethereumhunter]

That's true, even though they have lost a lot of money, they still do it repeatedly and they enjoy it. Maybe they really enjoy the game so they still gamble despite the losses and defeats they experience. and in many cases those who gamble cannot accept the losses that occur so they have the aim of gambling as to recover losses, even though if they gamble they should be prepared to lose their money. If they really want to gamble but are not prepared to lose real money they can play based gambling. demo, and I'm sure they already know about demo-based gambling.

However, there are people who force themselves to gamble with real money, even if it's the small amount of money they use, and maybe people like this really can't find fun in demo-based gambling, so they still gamble with a small budget. It is possible that they believe in luck, because if they are lucky they will win even if they use a small budget, even though on the other hand they are not ready to lose that money.

That is a gambler who can still say that they still have a chance to win from gambling even though they have lost a lot of money. They can still act relaxed after losing a lot of money and as if nothing had happened even though if they check the loss, it is a larger amount of money than they are used to. They can still accept their loss despite wanting to return to gambling to recover from their defeat. They want to return to the casino because the desire to win is still so strong that they don't care about their previous losses.

If they can accept gambling games using demo mode, it can save them from losing a lot of money because when playing gambling games, they don't use real money so they can prevent losing a lot of money. But if they force themselves to gamble using real money, they have to be prepared for the loss because it is a real defeat and they will lose their money. Maybe they can prevent big losses by using small capital and not gambling for too long to prevent big losses so they can enjoy the gambling game.

Addressing gambling addiction affordably is crucial. Online forums and community groups offer accessible support, while low-cost counseling services and helplines provide assistance. Educational campaigns about responsible gambling raise awareness inexpensively. Implementing self-exclusion programs at casinos and online platforms allows voluntary access restriction. Combining these affordable strategies creates a supportive environment without significant financial burdens.

There might be a few people that look at a demo account as if it was real money and will gamble carefully, the majority of users however will just bet all their money very quickly to achieve the highest possible return. Which is also why this is not a good alternative for someone struggling with gambling addiction. You forget to look at your risk, because you can just top of your balance again once you go broke.

Yes that's right, demo accounts are provided by casinos only for those who want to learn some games that they don't understand, adapt to new games until they really can and after that switch to real accounts, I think this demo mode is only intended to learn new games because it is not uncommon for us to see some gamblers who complain when they try new games on real accounts and end up making mistakes because of their lack of understanding of how to play the new game so casinos make demo accounts to be used as a learning place for those of you who want to learn some new games there.

And for the problem of overcoming gambling addiction, obviously what you said makes sense that a demo account is not a place to overcome gambling addiction, I understand that you can play there without having the risk of losing real money but we must understand that it is not uncommon for someone who after playing on a demo account then they switch to a real account because they see a very good game spin on a demo account so they feel tempted to try it on a real account when in fact the results will clearly not be the same. So if you really want to quit gambling then obviously don't touch anything that could potentially influence you to go back and get involved in gambling.

Addressing gambling addiction affordably is crucial. Online forums and community groups offer accessible support, while low-cost counseling services and helplines provide assistance. Educational campaigns about responsible gambling raise awareness inexpensively. Implementing self-exclusion programs at casinos and online platforms allows voluntary access restriction. Combining these affordable strategies creates a supportive environment without significant financial burdens.

At the end of the day what an addicted gambler needs is social support.

Having family and friends around that person is a huge help, and it doesn't really cost money.

The issue appears when they are alone. So you need to create extra resources for them.

It's a difficult problem.
