Online or offline gambling which is more safer?

[ethereumhunter]

For me, there is no safe when it comes to gambling, online or offline. Gambling is dangerous and too risky especially for beginners and the uninformed. I can only say that online is easy and more convenient than offline especially nowadays because there are so many sites and apps that you just download to play and gamble.

That's true because that's the reality. We cannot avoid the risks we will receive when gambling, but we can reduce the magnitude of these risks by always setting limits when gambling, whether in online or offline casinos. By using these limits, we can enjoy gambling games and will not have the desire to gamble for a long time. We will realize that gambling is entertainment and we don't need to gamble too often and seriously so that we don't experience the negative impacts of gambling. By always taking care of ourselves when gambling, we can avoid the problems that gamblers often experience. Nowadays, many people may have turned to online casinos because they can gamble at home without leaving the house and taking some money with them. The convenience they get from online casinos is what makes more people come to online casinos.

Playing online or offline gambling which is more preferable in terms of risk reduction?

There is no certainty that online gambling or offline gambling minimizes the risk of losses more, as the level of risk depends on various factors. Here are some points to consider:
Online Gambling
Advantages:
 

• Some websites provide tools to control losses, such as setting betting limits and regulating playtime.
• Safety may be higher in online gambling, as there is no risk of other players not paying you or regulatory authorities seizing funds.

Disadvantages:
 

• Online gambling can be done anywhere with an internet connection, leading to excessive play and lack of control, resulting in significant losses.
• There is a risk of account hacking due to cyber attacks or websites locking accounts for various reasons.

Offline Gambling
Advantages:
 

• Live experiences allow players to have better control over their time and bets.
• Not being able to play at all times can limit participation, thus minimizing the risk of losses.

Disadvantages:
 

• Facing pressure from other players can increase the likelihood of losses in offline gambling.
• There is a risk of not being paid by other players or even cases of being robbed by strangers.
• In some places, gambling is illegal, so engaging in offline gambling carries the risk of getting caught and having all assets confiscated by law enforcement authorities.

In conclusion, both forms of gambling have their own risks. The most crucial aspect is to play responsibly, have self-control, and know how to manage risks.

Yeah, i know risk involved in KYC verification but in crypto sometime you have to submit personal documents to get good advantages as like you know mostly crypto exchanges asking KYC to withdrawal in their platform, there are no security to use our personal data in online, high possibility to misuse. Whatever, if i am not a big player in betting so i don’t need to go KYC process, and i feel it’s safer than offline gambling.

Players who do not place big amounts of bets could play in casinos. You have less chance to trigger the KYC process if you follow some strategy. For example, do not change your IP address too often. Do not violate any of their rules. The most important is do not make big deposits and do not place big bets. They always look for the bigger fish to fry. But, regular players could avoid them by following these things. But there are some casinos that ask for KYC verification no matter how much you deposit. I have heard that casino like bitsler ask for KYC verification just to withdraw $20 worth of crypto. That is ridicules. You should avoid such platforms. There are some non kyc casinos. You could try them if you want.

Exactly, in gambling all gamblers really can't avoid risk completely and what they can do is nothing more than doing things that can minimize the possibility of losing less, such as implementing some preventive measures. As you said, no matter where you engage in gambling, online or offline really doesn't matter, both still have the possibility of risk, and for the matter of the size of the risk you will experience it depends on how you approach the gambling you do.

These two types of gambling still have the risk of possible addiction as I said above, and of course it's true as you said that the better thing to do is to apply some precautions along with self-awareness firmly, because only that can keep and help us from experiencing a large number of defeats like those suffered by gambling addicts out there who always overdo it and consider something not based on self-awareness so that usually the final result more often makes them disappointed and emotional. I'm sure you've heard of this, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and I'm sure you've heard of it, and I'm sure you've heard of it.

I agreed with you, first time i was got suspended with a little amount of dollars because i didn’t followed their terms & conditions and i didn’t get the money back, then i am very careful to deposit money in casino platform, and i never use big amount because yeah they can ask KYC at any time which is rules in their T&C. I always try to avoid KYC in the casino platform.

Online because no one's going to push you to gamble more but only yourself. That's the safest reduction of risk when you're alone at home.
It is what I think is right because if you're offline and that tends to be the actual physical casino, you've probably deal with some stranger that might tell you to push your luck harder.

Is it being alone would be impsosing such risks because theres no one could stop you out on spending money on the time that you would really be finding yourself that addicted?
This is why i do said earlier that no matter on what are the things that we are dealing with, there's no good when it comes into gambling not unless if you are really just that playing for fun
but if you are playing the other way around then you are really just that basically putting up yourself on such trouble and this is something that i dont really like.
You are putting up yourself on such risks when you do play gambling on trying out to chase that being profitable on which this is something that could really make things
messy.

You're and that's why it is only you that will make the decisions and if you choose the safer side, that's you that have made it and not someone.
And as for pushing you to gamble more, it is also you whenever you feel that you have to do it, that's how it is going to be.
You gamble for money, fame or profit, they're all the same even if you do it for fun. Because the process will not change for any of those reasons.

• In some places, gambling is illegal, so engaging in offline gambling carries the risk of getting caught and having all assets confiscated by law enforcement authorities.

It's one of the biggest cons of playing at land based casinos. When you play at a clandestine casino you don't have any guarantees or assurances over fair play and your physical integrity. The games can be completely rigged, since the casino, neither a trusted external party will assure what the house edge and RTP of the machines are. And if you want to complain about something, who will you call? If you argue anything inside a clandestine casino you will be kicked from there. And of course, you will be unable to ask help from the police.

Another consequence of being unable to call the police or ask help from any other authorities is the fact thieves will feel confortable going after you. You become an easy and attractive target for them. Even if you win big inside an illegal casino and are paid right after, your physical integrity is still under risk, as you can be followed on your way back home by thieves from the casino itself or by thieves who were coincidentally playing there on the machine by your side.

Moreover, the police itself can be a risk as well. If they invade the clandestine house during an operation, gamblers will be arrested and have to respond in the court. Probably having to pay fines to the government for the wrongdoing. So, besides losing to gambling, they will also have to lose some extra money to the government... That is why it's much better to play at online casinos.

The process wouldnt really definitely not change and just said that everything would really just flows down on how you would really be treating up gambling on which
you are really just that playing for fun or really just that playing for money. People cant really just that be the same when it comes to their own inputs and their own impressions towards it.
Being safer? There's no such thing about safe but rather it would really be just that depending on how you would really be handling up yourself towards gambling.
If you do it for leisure then its just fine but for making it as a source of income then this is where shit things happen.

Sometimes people are always addicted to playing gambling online and this has made them loss alot of funds, due to always topping up theire casino account with there debit card when they loose. and this usually makes them exhaust all there funds.

While those people playing offline in casino halls play with only the little money they have at hand, and that will reduce the risk of over spending. So now my question is this

Playing online or offline gambling which is more preferable in terms of risk reduction?

It's very important to recognize that the choice between online and offline gambling doesn't determine a set spending limit. Surprisingly, some individuals tend to engage in more gambling activities offline than they do online, and both avenues carry similar risks.

For someone struggling with a gambling addiction, the mode of play won't necessarily deter them. They may find ways to fund their online account or continue gambling locally. While having the convenience of funding your betting account can make it more accessible to place bets at any time, it also presents the risk of developing an addiction. Moreover, relying on the funds already available in your gambling account may contribute to a cycle of continuous betting, potentially leading to more significant losses over time. 

That is how gambling addiction ruins our lives and whether it is offline or online casino the results are still the same as overspending happens.
Once we have fallen into addiction, that hard to get out because what is in our mind and what gives us pleasure is to gamble, nothing else. Because most of the casino games are available online, the more it fueled to such addiction as we can access anywhere as long as we have internet. This is why those who want to stop gambling, prefer to stay in a place that internet is not available so they aren't tempted to get back.

[Obari]

I don't think there is any safer one in gambling,whether online or offline,it's still gambling,and all of them requires you to use money to stake them,I guess the question should have been,which one among the two is more preferable? In that case,I would choose the online gambling because it saves one time to go out to queue up infront of a Cassino, to play a game,online gambling gives you the ability to be able to cash out your game quickly when you feel that it's about to cut.But one  thing I don't like about online gambling is that if you don't have self control,you'll always be tempted to deposit money into your bet account,and this is very draining because your main account is linked to your bet account which makes you get access to your money easily.

OfCourse nothing changes in gambling, the strategies work in different ways to maintain the behavior of the human. If the game doesn't change, the player changes. The result of the player's change of behavior is always wrong and bad. Thereby affecting the society of the addict. All these things happen to the players and they'll lose control according to the body responses. Who cares about the software used in running the game. It's automated. Humans only suffer the changes in the process. An offline casino player could get more players to engage on his problem gambling. But an online gambler can be left out in his room wondering who to share his problems. They both have Pros and cons in regards to the gambler.

Do some individual gamble for fame, I didn't know some individual gamble for fun. I only know some individual gamble for money and for entertainment. Sometimes I gamble as I want to double the money that I have in my bank account while other times I gamble as i want to have fun. When I want to have fun or entertainment, I gamble with physical casino as it'll make me to interact with many others gamblers and have fun while gambling.

But when I want to make money, I gamble online so I don't get distracted with other gamblers. I can spend many hours gambling in my room without any distractions and I will make money that can help me for the week. Online casino are more comfortable than offline casino. When gambling online I don't have to worry about my safety as I'm gambling from my home and not in a traditional casino.

This made me flash back to someone post I red here the other time that said online casino or gambling site are.more risky because you could keep funding without someone having full control over you and whenever you made a life changing game no one will as well knows how much you already made. In realistically when gambling be it traditional gambling or online we should try to set our limits it's not ethical to keep gambling until you double your money, it looks like it's gradually associating with greed because anyone who constantly gamble to make winning wouldn't know when they will turn to a gambling addicts.

That was the point of the OP, in both physical and online casinos the odds of the games should be similar, and while on an online casino the minimum bet should be way lower, the games are also many times faster and you could even gamble many different games at the same time, something that you cannot really do at a physical casino.

Also while you are gambling online you have access to all your money that is in digital form and this could facilitate a bad decision on your part, while when gambling at a physical casino if you were to leave your debit, credit cards and phone at home, you will be limited by the cash you can carry with you, so physical casinos should be relatively safer than their online counterparts, albeit not by much.

Playing online or offline gambling which is more preferable in terms of risk reduction?

Do you think that before there were online casinos, gamblers did it in offline casinos and no one was addicted? If online casinos are more risk for people to be addicted then the government will be able to quickly find a solution so that its citizens don't get addicted, namely only allowing offline casinos and closing online casinos, why don't they do that? because both have the same portion to make gamblers risk to addicted.
Online casinos are just the implementation of technology so that people can gamble without having to leave their homes so it becomes simpler, but offline and online are both damaging if they are not done responsibly and do not have limits that are applied as limits so that they will stop when they reach that limit, so nothing can reduce the risk because gamblers have their own preferences, whether they prefer offline or vice versa.

[ethereumhunter]

Exactly, in gambling all gamblers really can't avoid risk completely and what they can do is nothing more than doing things that can minimize the possibility of losing less, such as implementing some preventive measures.

We can only reduce the risk so that it doesn't become big, especially if it is gambling because by preventing bigger risks, we can use our time and money wisely. We will not try to chase victory, which is difficult for us to get, so we will just have fun playing gambling, and we can stop according to the time we have determined. It is true that online and offline gambling certainly has its own risks, and it is up to us to reduce these risks. The size of the risk will be our focus to prevent so that no serious problems will occur.

If we can't prevent the risks, we will only face problems that will probably get bigger, and when that happens, we can become addicted, and we don't even realize it. And we should take precautions before it happens so that we don't face major risks. That is why we need self-awareness to be able to prevent the risks so that we will not become emotional or disappointed with the results we get from gambling because in gambling, we can experience bigger losses if we lose self-control. We must be able to take care of ourselves. At the same time, gambling so that we will not experience experiences like those experienced by gamblers out there who have lost a lot of money and also become gamblers who are addicted to gambling. If we can gamble responsibly, we will avoid various problems that will only add to the burden on our lives while we cannot get pleasure from gambling.

Playing online or offline gambling which is more preferable in terms of risk reduction?

I would say that offline casinos are way more safer than online. When we gamble online, all we have to do is to make few clicks and account balance is already topped-up. Gambler does not have to make a lot of actions to start and continue gambling. In offline casino, as a minimum you need to walk to exchange desk (if you play with chips), get to the casino from home, if you play cash, then you are limited with what you have in your wallet, and it case loosing everything, on the way to ATM you might change your mind and dont get back to casino. Offline casinos have more things that might distract from making a new bet or continuing gambling.

Online Gambling

• Safety may be higher in online gambling, as there is no risk of other players not paying you or regulatory authorities seizing funds.

Offline Gambling

• In some places, gambling is illegal, so engaging in offline gambling carries the risk of getting caught and having all assets confiscated by law enforcement authorities.

Really?

Although each country has it's own laws, but many country who declare gambling is illegal means any form of gambling whether it's online or offline, it's illegal. If the casino not list your country in forbidden jurisdiction, it doesn't mean you're legal to gamble.

Some of countries do legalize gambling, but when it comes to online gambling, it's illegal since they only allow local casinos.

Staying close to whatever activity you love could get one addicted to it. Having the online casino in our palms can facilitate the urge of gambling on the player compared to an offline casino, that requires a gambler to think about many factors like transportation, hotel bills, drinks etc. Those thoughts are able to minimize the time a player spends thinking about casino. The online casino, with all the portability, availability, and comfortability, leads gamblers to loss of control. Whenever money gets to the person, he can simply login his account and gamble. While in offline casino the players would have to change his mind, due to the other factors which he may not be bouyant to pay, unless he's sleeping in his car close to the casino. He's also pass through hunger, while staying in his car.

Playing online or offline gambling which is more preferable in terms of risk reduction?

Offline and online gambling has it own risk, one of the things we most understand is that in as much as we feel that offline is very saver than online maybe base on the fact that it reduces the rate at which we intend gambling on a regular basis but what we should also no is that we could also be exposing ourselves for people to see that you are a gambler.

But however I prefer online gambling because it saves time and energy of moving from one gambling shop to another, so perhaps through online gambling all you just need is to be at your comfort zone and set your bet, also with the online gambling nobody can know if you have won a bet or not but in times of offline gambling no matter how many times you make a win people will always be aware, which could otherwise put you on a dangerous position so perhaps whichever way we reason it i think online is better for safety reasons.
