Between Physical and Online Gambling which makes a person more addicted

[ultrloa]

I am sure that online gambling is much more addictive, this is because online gambling is easier and can be played anywhere and privacy is much safer than physical, it is also more cost effective than going to a casino building which definitely costs a lot of money. Apart from gambling, we are definitely provided with other entertainment that makes us happy. we spend money immediately. I think if it concerns addiction both can be addictive. I hope doing more positive things outside of gambling is the solution to all of this.

It's not much of online gambling or the physical gambling casinos that are present, but how individual gamblers were able to make use of them to gamble and get the best satisfaction in them by gambling responsibly or doing otherwise, do what are they ways we approach gambling both in physical and online, how do we behave, what are the things we do and we shouldn't have done when gambling, if we can deal with ourselves, there may be no reason for gambling addiction at the first place.

Agree since all will matter on how they approach on everything they experience. Its not all about gambling but let's ride up to the flow of discussion since maybe they are really pointing out that online casino is more higher chance for a people to get addicted with it since the accessibility is really great since anyone can gamble on any place they want or what situation they are experiencing on.

Unlike on physical casino where people need to spend time to go on those extravagant casino and although the vibes is so different still a gambler would think about going there since it might cost them a lot of time and effort before they can gamble also they get shy to bet small amounts since people usually go there are those rich individual that's why maybe the reason on why they might think twice to go back there.

If they can gamble responsibly, they will avoid gambling addiction and can enjoy gambling as entertainment. That is our goal in gambling, so we must be able to control ourselves well. Indeed, online gambling can make us addicted to gambling easily because of the convenience we get, such as gambling wherever we want and using various devices such as smartphones, tablets, computers, or laptops. And what most gamblers do is gamble using their smartphone, especially if they are outside the house and want to gamble in their free time. This makes it very easy for them to be able to immediately play gambling anywhere so that they may become addicted to gambling faster than other people. But it will depend on how good their self-control is because by having good self-control, they will not be tempted by anything.

Start with physical gambling then experience online gambling, that's the most general way people learn about gambling because online can only arrange certain games, it also requires players to know relatively, besides it also requires equipment and rules that are also not identical to physical gambling, being incomplete and just a miniature version is a disadvantage but the advantage is being able to take advantage of time anywhere. Physical gambling does not have any delaying activities, so I feel that the seeds of addiction are more easily planted here.

Despite this gloomy picture, online gambling remains lively. Not all is gloomy! Technology has changed entertainment, and internet gambling is a prime example. It's an exciting arena with more games than physical casinos. Think about: live poker and slot machine excitement from your couch! There's excitement in taking risks and maybe winning big. This world is exhilarating and full of pleasure and excitement if we tread wisely and responsibly!

We are witnessing online gambling emerges as a dynamic industry that thrives on a part of advanced technology. The world of internet gambling is not all doom and gloom, but it's a testament to the transformative power of technology in entertainment. The digital landscape hosts a plethora of games that is far surpassing the limited options available in physical casinos. Enthusiasts can indulge in everything from live poker to the adrenaline rush of virtual slot machines, all from the comfort of their own couch.

The accessibility and variety contribute to the liveliness of online gambling that attracts a diverse range of players with different preferences and tastes. The excitement of placing bets and the anticipation of a favorable outcome create an exhilarating experience that transcends the boundaries of traditional brick-and-mortar casinos. The online gambling world becomes a virtual arena where people can test their luck and strategy that add an extra excitement to the entire gaming experience.

Online gambling will be the choice of the majority that's because online gambling offers easy access, you can do it in your living room, in your bedroom, while traveling anytime you want, you just need funds and you are one click away from playing, which is why physical casino players spend more time playing online when they learned how to play online, because its hard to keep up playing on physical casinos so they end up playing on online casinos.
This is the reason why the online casino industry is now a multi-billion industry.

If you are a physical casino player, I think it will be hard for you to switch playing online permanently. There is that, you will miss your old hang-out place, your co-gamblers, the management, and others... . And how can you say that it's hard to keep up playing in a physical casino? What if our house is only near from it? And then the casino also operates 24/7? They are direct to the point in fact. While in online, we still need to travel to a store that supports e-money deposits and then deposit the money again to the casino.

There are still other inconveniences that can happen, like high fees and delayed transactions. I'm no way of hating it but I just tell what I experience.

Now it has made every little discussion that leads to argument an avenue to gamble, always ready to stake huge amount just to prove himself right. I consider this being addiction and I am always advising him to drop this lifestyle.

Something that definitely goes against common sense if they are always ready to risk large amounts to prove themselves right.

It is impossible for gamblers to get rich from their gambling activities. When their discussion has widened, don't lecture them because they don't care and don't need it.
They have been instigated by bad thoughts. If you are a gambler, consider gambling for fun, to test your luck without having to force it when you are in a good state of mind.
I will not forbid people from gambling because I have also gambled even though I am not an addict.

Do you think Online Gambling has the worst potential of making a person addicted?

Both are the same. Can make people addicted.

[Yatsan]

Logically I'd say online gambling is more addictive simply because it is more convenient and accessible to all times and settings as long as there is an internet connection and as long as servers won't be restricted for gambling sites. Actually there are articles supporting this claim that gamblers are more prone to addiction in this platform.
The only thing I guess which keeps gamblers playing in casino is the unique experience of being face to face with other gamblers which gives thrill and better experience, however as mentioned above, you won't always have time to visit casinos not to mention that there are countries wherein heightened restrictions are present which is another factor when it comes on exposure and addiction ratio.

Well on my end, I first tried online gambling. The idea of seeing players smoking and being crowded, already left me an impression if I would go playing in online casino. Also, the game that I am most of the time enjoying is sportsbetting which I guess is another factor that I consider 'coz most of the landbased casinos aren't offering such kind of gambling category. But indeed there is a huge difference; given that one is easier to access makes sense to say that it is more likely to be addictive.

OP, the truth is that every one of us gets addicted to what we find ourselves easier to do than the other. The fact it gives us the fulfillment and desire we long for, to keep doing it wouldn't be our problem.

For someone who finds physical or online gambling to be easier and more convenient for him, expect to find him in it than the other. But that doesn't mean both are not addictive in their kind of way. for me, online gambling is more addictive than physical gambling(Physical or online gambling is a choice selection for each of us).

Because your friend is more addicted to physical gambling than online gambling is his choice gambling selection because to him, physical gambling gives him a good betting experience and analysis but that doesn't mean physical gambling is more addictive than online gambling.  

[danadc]

I believe that Both things are equally addictive , because both casinos have the same option to put their bets on them , but like this, in the physical casino things can be Different because there are many people, there is less concentration because you have many hands all the time to do things in this, people can sometimes talk to us and ask us questions, we can lose several times in a Row and that will make us Pay attention to all the things, the variation is that in what we only see, people have the concentration there and without Anyone telling him anything , but he can still Lose, the moment he loses we will look for desire no matter what.

The common Mistake is to bet a lot of Money to try to win what was Lost , and even if you think about what you are going to win but what you are going to recover, those things don't make sense , because if you enter a casino it is to have fun and earn money , not to put Yourself in that Situation.

[Pokapoka124]

The major difference between online casinos and physical casinos is the ease of access that online casinos provide. You can be anywhere and still be able to play slots, cards or sports betting. These sites are all available on mobile phones which means a gambler who is trying to quit will experience difficulty in doing so because he’s in constant battle with himself not to open his phone browser and gamble again.
 
I have met people like your friend in real life. I don’t think they have a gambling addiction, most of them I’ve met gamble for fun. It’s usually little stakes that don’t really cost much.

[coolcoinz]

It's not even a fair competition - online gambling is 10 times more addicting because of how and where you can gamble. When you had to use your PC to gamble it was comparable, but since you can gamble on your phone it's a game changer.

First of all you can hide better. You can gamble in private places like bathrooms, or act like you're going shopping and gamble in a store alley.
Then there's crypto gambling that allows you to hide your funds. You can literally get a signature campaign here or any other job that pays in crypto and use that money to gamble and nobody will know about it.

Then there's this thing that nobody can see you. Many gamblers don't want to do it in public in fear of being recognized by someone they know, or that people will see they lost and pity them. Online gambling is anonymous so it fixes all that.

Do you think Online Gambling has the worst potential of making a person addicted?

If you're lonely and you gamble online most of the time the potential for you to be addicted to it is 100%. If you're sad or depressed and you need something to occupy your mind online gambling easily provides the escape route. It is easy, convenient. Online gambling has led to more gamblers gambling all over the world.

[dothebeats]

It doesn't matter which avenue does the gambler takes on. If he's exposed to a certain activity that is 'rewarding' to his brain, he'll go back to that activity over and over again, regardless of the medium. I personally dislike brick-and-mortar casinos due to the smell of smoke lingering in the air, plus the fact that it might get crammed sometimes and the unbearable noise within the place. However, if I happen to find a small slot machine that is relatively undisturbed and without anyone nearby, I might spend hours on that little machine just because. I enjoy the game all the same, but certainly not happy with an environment that is loud and smells of tobacco.

    And due to the different verity of games in the online gambling it has, Online platforms typically offer a broader range of games, from traditional casino games like slots, poker, and roulette to sports betting and exotic virtual games. Real-life casinos may have space limitations and offer a more limited selection. And the accessibility of the games makes it even more weary. Players can access a wide variety of games from the comfort of their homes or on the go, using computers, smartphones, or tablets. Real-life gambling often requires a physical presence at a casino or betting establishment.
  To avoid being too much in the app, it best to mingle with people, get engage into something that will take out your time. You can as well minimize the number of times you visit the platform to avoid getting tempted to gamble. Responsible gambling is crucial in either environment to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Playing responsibly has been the most talked about statement here in the forum those that gamble  should treat this as important and try to  adhere to this principle.

I have been wondering with a little doubt in me between Physical and Online Gambling which makes a person prone to being addicted cause I have this friend of mine who doesn't know how to gamble online but when it comes to physical gambling he does it without compromising any of the consequences before hands.

Now it has made every little discussion that leads to argument an avenue to gamble, always ready to stake huge amount just to prove himself right. I consider this being addiction and I am always advising him to drop this lifestyle.

Do you think Online Gambling has the worst potential of making a person addicted?

In my opinion, both online and physical gambling can make you addicted to gambling whatsoever, it doesnt really matter what kind of form it is it is still gambling so you are still prone to getting addicted to it especially if you are doing it a lot and winning. I mean I dont think that you could easily get addicted it might need to be your habit in order to get addicted sometimes we just want to gamble since its fun and entertaining we want to try our luck.

We saw gambling addicts in physical casinos and even on online gambling your friend just preferred to gamble physically that just it, both of are still can make you an addict, I've seen a lot of people get addicted on online gambling since that is just the way they want to play, probably your friend prefer playing with real people or that just the thing that entertain him, I mean if you are shy and lazy to go to the casino you might just preferred gambling online i mean that is just the same since there are already games online that is live where you could play worldwide.

Well actually it all depends on the wishes of the gamblers too, like you said they have the right to choose whichever path they want to take, whether it's in a physical casino or online, the point is if they feel comfortable in one of those types of gambling then obviously they will choose it and about how often they come back to bet it also depends on their wishes and if they really get benefits from the gambling activities they do then it's natural that they often come back to do it.

Now you have mentioned one of the things that some people might not like such as for example a lot of smoke in the air due to some gamblers who gamble while smoking while on the other hand you must be a gambler who is sensitive to cigarette smoke or for example they are not smokers, of course it will be able to disturb the comfort of other gamblers, and also claustrophobic due to the full of visitors who come as well as the noise from the music played is very likely to disturb. What you say is very reasonable to be the reason why some people prefer the type of online gambling, and of course it all also depends on the safety and comfort of each individual.

Indeed, this really depends on each individual in playing their gambling, of course if we gamble too often and they cannot control themselves of course they will experience an addiction to gambling, so it would be better when gambling we can control ourselves to be able to avoid addiction in gambling, because if you have experienced an addiction it will be very difficult to get rid of this habit.
Both physical and online gambling will certainly make us addicted if we continue to play it very often, but if we play it just to entertain ourselves and fill the free time we have, I don't think we will be addicted to gambling.

Physical Gambling for sure. Here's why:

Online Casinos are enticing sure, but most of them offer nothing but visual appeal as well as the perks that they give out to their users (free spins, etc.) that eventually run out or expires. So when these amenities go away, I think I speak for everyone when I say we get this sudden realization that we should be doing even more important things than sinking hours into an online casino. On the other hand, this doesn't happen in a brick-and-mortal gambling institution. First off, you're enclosed in a secure space where it's just as hard to get in as it is to get out. They offer stuff like free drinks, free hotel stays, or whatever to some customers they deem are bleeders to make them stay even more within the casino. Lights are so bright so as to make sure you don't fall asleep or to disrupt your sense of time, and as far as I can remember the perks that they offer to their customers, new and existing, do not go away. So in the grander scheme of things Physical Casinos have a better capability to lure and secure customers for longer than online casinos, which apart from those things got its convenience feature as the only things that really set it apart from their physical counterparts.

It's an opposite answer compared to my previous comment but I think you approach it from a very good perspective. Of course, both options have some advantages and disadvantages but in general I think online casinos cause addiction more and easily. The reason for this is that accessing online casino services is extremely easy in today's conditions. Of course, physical casinos also have attractive advantages over online casinos but I don't think these are advantages that can have a serious impact compared to ease of access.

Considering that not every casino service provides free food, beverages, cigarettes, hotel accommodation and similar services, I think it wouldn't be right to use these advantages to make generalizations based on the fact that they are only provided by certain physical casinos in certain countries.

It indeed depends on each person but I still believe that more gamblers are more addicted due to online gambling. Just recently I was wrecked and I have been thinking about depositing more to take back what I had lost but thankfully I controlled myself to not do it because the chances of me losing more is there.
But, do imagine if I did what I was planning? I cannot even imagine the stress that I will feel upon losing more and I don't want to be in that position. Gamblers who are chasing losses tend to try and bet more until they get what they want which is revenge from that gambling site. They want to win back whatever was lost and that means non-stop playing that could lead to addiction.
Control and discipline are a must, we lose we call it a day and do not try to win it back. Try again tomorrow and maybe it will be a different outcome or maybe after a week or more.

I do agree, sometimes we can't accept that we just lost our money to a game that we bet or to games like slot machine or dice. And so we deposit more and more and then we become addicted. Plus the fact that online games are easily accessible, even maybe after you wake up, you will go on your favorite crypto based casino and then bet on sports or play slots.

So it's a very dangerous world that we are in right now for gamblers, as we need to have a lot of self control so that we wont' fall for the addiction of it. Maybe if we can take a break and forget about it for a while, it might do good for us mentally and not chase those loses and recoup it back.
