I have seen several topics here and other discussion thread where many people talked about gambling addiction. So many procedures been stated to follow sequentially to reduce the rate at which one frequently visit online gambling sites and possibly their application if they do have any of them.
I remember in one of the threads I raised up a point which was long hidden as the thread became too numerous and lengthy to continue the conversation on that topic. It was my opinion to add up in profering solutions to gambling addiction. I believe not too many people saw it to to say something about it so that is why I had to bring it up as a topic hear. I want to hear your opinion and ideas towards it.
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.
Op this is actually a good idea, but blocking the Ads not to pop up on the screen might not really work for gambling addicts. when someone is addicted, the person finds every possible measure to solve his or her problem and by all means. that is to say that when you block the Ads not to pop up on the screen the person must find a way to unblock it unless the person is not an addict. life is full of different challenges and i believe that the only way to tackle addiction challenge is self-discipline and total abstinence from gambling.
In addition, there are so many other ways to stop someone from being an addict, isolation and relocating the person to remote Areas from time to time where network and making new friends will be his major challenges because before he will adapt to the new environment considering the nature of network, he might outrightly quick gambling entirely. however, environment plays major role in one's gambling addiction and can also help to ameliorate the adverse effects of gambling addiction when the person finds it very difficult to adapt in his new environment.
Even if you block gambling advertisements in any social media platforms, if a person is really interested to know more about that gambling, They can do anything just to know more about that activity, especially now that everything is easily accessible once you have your device and internet connection, right? If a person is really addicted in gambling, no matter how hard we try to prevent them from gambling, they find a way just to do it. Do you notice? that's why others end up doing bad thingd and worst case leads to crime just so they can do what they want. It would be good if an addicted person is admitted to a rehabilitation center because there they can focus better, away from things that can remind them about gambling and of course they can be helped to recover when there are medications with them.
