How can we help beginners not to get addicted

[Issa56]

The reason why I'm not addicted to gambling is because even before I started to play gambling I already understand gambling and its addiction, and my understanding has helped me on how to follow up gambling. Sometimes I ask myself why do people get addicted to gambling, is it because they have no understanding or awareness about the addiction of gamble.

Some of them know about gambling addiction even before they started gambling, but some people don’t even know about how they got addicted to gambling. Some of them know about gambling addiction, but they are gambling just because of money, so at the end they gets addicted to gambling. After losing some amount of money, they will keeping on gambling hoping if they do that they will be able to win back their losses, but they will be losing more, and they will find it difficult to stop gambling.

I think if gambling companies can help to giving beginners to understand gambling and addiction it will help and reduce the rate at which people get addicted o gambling, I mean good lesson for people to get understanding.  Or do gambling companies benefit from gamblers who are addicted, which the awareness of getting addicted can affect their business?.

If you are addicted to gambling, and you gamble more, then gambling companies are making more money so they are benefiting from addicted gambler’s, and some gambling companies in my country do recommend that gamblers gamble responsibly, so it’s left to people gambling to control themselves and not to be addicted. Even when gambling companies warn their customers to stay away from addiction, people will still gamble excessively and get addicted.

You can only help those beginners if you are close to that person, but if not then for sure they will be time they will gamble with too much emotion and that could lead to addiction over time. We cannot help them 100% because at the end of the day, it is still their decision and it’s up to them if they will become addict or gamble responsibly, all the information that they may need in gambling is already available in many sites, and I’d hope that they will do their own research first before they gamble.

 I think majority of people who are addicted to gambling is because they do not understand gambling as beginners, the rules and the side effects of playing gambling excessively.

They don't know how it goes with its effect when they gamble. All they're for are to have fun and then later, they don't notice that they're starting to become emotional and wanted to get as much as they can from it.

I think if gambling companies can help to giving beginners to understand gambling and addiction it will help and reduce the rate at which people get addicted o gambling, I mean good lesson for people to get understanding. 

AFAIK, they've got reminders to their customers to gamble moderately only. And they've got some features like self exclusion.

Or do gambling companies benefit from gamblers who are addicted, which the awareness of getting addicted can affect their business?.

They benefit from all of the gamblers because that's how they make money.

I like your opening statement, It gives a glimpse into who you are.

I can tell that you were either in your late teens or early twenties when you made this decision. And that your environment played some role. Did you watch the behaviors of people in your environment who were addicted and how it ruined them?

I agree that we all have the ability to tell ourselves what we want and what we do not want. Also because you were already good knowledge on gabling addiction.

I believe it is not knowing about gambling that lead a person to gambling addiction.  It is more on the lack of self-control that lead a gambler to addiction.  Looking at the definition of gambling addiction, we can say that the key factor is the uncontrolled urge to gamble.

In order to avoid gambling addiction one must nullify the uncontrolled urge to gamble and the key element is self-discipline.

I believe knowledge about gambling does not help in controlling addiction but rather helps in creating strategies to enhance the chance of winning.  Several people who are knowledgeable about gambling still fail to control themselves and got addicted to gambling.

Casinos gives information about gambling and have a specific page for the information about how to gambling responsibly.  They even have self-exclusion program where player can approach them to self-exclude and unable to access the gambling site.  It is that the player failed to read the responsible gambling guide and most of the people who are into gambling often ignore the self-exclusion service of the casino.

Being addicted depends on the person himself.  It is about his control over his gambling engagement.  Gambling companies do benefit from peoples gambling engagement but they should not be blamed if the person get addicted because the addiction itself is created when the person failed to moderate his gambling activities.

beautiful  Your attitude keeps you away from gambling addiction. Gambling doesn't have any negative effect on our life if we use it for fun but when we don't have good knowledge about the bad side of gambling and indulge in gambling then we get involved in this bad addiction.

I think majority of people who are addicted to gambling is because they do not understand gambling as beginners, the rules and the side effects of playing gambling excessively.

Most gamblers are emotional and greedy and do not want to understand or accept the negative aspects of gambling. Because of this, gambling has many negative effects on them and they become deeply addicted

No one is addicted to gambling at the beginning of gambling. People get addicted to gambling slowly, so if they are told early on how bad gambling is and how much damage they will face if they become addicted to it, then maybe this addiction can be reduced.

It's always a two sided thing and that's how it has being ever since, some people learn about gambling as early as possible but still end up being addicted to it while some persons don't know much and decided to explore but found out that the act is bringing them back then they decide to pause the whole act. For me I think it all boils down to the strict and policy keeping nature of the gambler.

One thing that most gamblers fail to understand is that they need more than just understanding how the games work to avoid getting addicted; they also need to understand and study their decision level to determine if they are really fit for gambling or not.
 
Some people think that because they know how to predict games, they can pass through all the trials that gambling comes with, like prediction, setting gambling limits, and managing your bankroll.

They also need to work on their decision-making process because this part is what makes most people turn addicts. If you can't control yourself, you won't be able to control your gambling habit.

Casinos can offer support and guidance, but they cannot force people to moderate their gambling activities. The responsibility for avoiding addiction ultimately lies with the individual. Gamblers need to be mindful of their gambling behavior. Addiction is a complex issue that can arise unconsciously. Gambling companies always pay attentions towards the sign of addiction, because it can be bad for their business.

Prioritizing responsible gambling practices and providing adequate support for addicted gamblers are also there as parts of their policy. This includes implementing measures to prevent underage gambling, offering resources for problem gambling, and promoting responsible gambling behaviors. Addressing gambling addiction requires a collaborative effort between individuals, gambling companies, and society as a whole.

Gambling addiction is more of individual thing than the casino even though the site make more money when addicts gamble more since they tend to gamble out of preposterous state and mindset, also we have a few feature on the gambling sites that further suggest that gambling platform also have the interest of gamblers at heart and will help them to overcome any possible cases thatay be overly negative on their well being such as the self exclusion featurs and other self controlling tools that can help the player to avoid hucked to they addictions.

Don't expect beginners to act as long-time gamblers already that's why they are called beginners right? But fortunately, not all beginners are ended up addicted since they know how to use their common sense. I don't think we can really help them not to get addicted because they need to feel the actual pressure of gambling before they can think if getting involved in gambling for long will be good for them. If we just tell them the basic advice prior to their actual gambling, they won't understand at all since they don't experience yet being a big winner or big loser.

Just trust these beginners not to get addicted on the way. I still believe that there are lots of newbies who know how to use their common sense and will realize right away if there's something wrong already that is happening on their gambling journey.

Casinos profit off folks with poor self-control.  They can talk about responsibility all they want, but we know the deal.  They're not exactly handing out self-help pamphlets at the door.  Still, can't put all the blame on them - personal responsibility has gotta factor in somewhere.

Addiction can come at all stages in gamblers. So whether you are a beginner or not, it depends on your situation if you will get addicted on this game. But as a beginner, you should always be aware of your habit so as not to get too deep in this game.
Before you enter in this game, better ask yourself, why you are going into this world of entertainment? What are your reasons why you want to explore the gambling world? Is it for fun or money? Better be on the lookout for yourself if you are here for money, because for sure the path you will take here is different if you aim to get money.

I think gambling addiction is a normal thing for every beginner because most beginners normally have so much excitement  that result in mistakes and painful losses. A good number of gamblers follow this process and eventually learnt on the process. There is really no much advice that can be given to a novice that will safe them from getting so addicted to gambling at the beginning so I feel it is how gambling works. Anyone coming into gambling, my simple advice will just to gambler with bearable amount of money incase there is loss.

Some casinos have a page dedicated on how gambling works and they have a warning to their players about addiction, its up to the casino players if they are going to heed those advice or ignore them.

When it comes to casinos the rule is to each is each own, you have to take care and watch for yourself, the casino is a profit generating company and you are the target to be their cash cow, so its up to you if you let them become their cash cow.

I agree that we all have the ability to tell ourselves what we want and what we do not want. Also because you were already good knowledge on gabling addiction.

Knowledge requires consistent practice to cement in our brains. Op from his experience has made good points, on helping newbie gamblers. Naive players only have insufficient information regarding gambling, and it's wrong. Gamblers new or experienced, still undergo daily challenges in each session they've started. Hence, if a casino should take it upon themselves to not only tell us to gamble responsibly, but show us ways of doing it, they'll be changes in the gambling industry. Every player hears in adverts, to gamble responsibly, yet the opposite happens. We all need to understand the need to protect ourselves emotionally, as gamblers. It's a better way of gambling responsibly.

The newbies who don't know this would think of it, as a norm and don't care about implementing it, due to the fact nobody explains how bad irresponsible gambling could be to a player. I think of some gambling sites or casinos, that made out few lines of words on gambling responsibly. Gamblers could read them and learn. But not everyone would mind reading those paragraphs on being a good player. The physical one-on-one conversation is more effective. I mean there are multiple blogs and sites about gambling addiction and ways to help reduce compulsive gambling. Yet, most gamblers don't care about reading them. That tells you how emotionally careless most gamblers are to themselves.

[bangjoe]

On the one hand gambling will definitely only give basic things to the beginning of the gambler even if there is, but in my opinion it is not fortunate for them and also not their obligation in this case unless there is a special regulation from the government, maybe the casino will do it to anticipate new gamblers.

But this will return to each other's actually because the prepencence about gambling in my opinion has been given a lot to everyone, both in religious education or general education that gambling is not a good thing and I think it has also shown it can be enough if The goal is to educate and other things. But those who have greedy nature and want to live instantly have no value even though the casino warns him too.

When it comes to casinos the rule is to each is each own, you have to take care and watch for yourself, the casino is a profit generating company and you are the target to be their cash cow, so its up to you if you let them become their cash cow.

And as we know this kind of notice or warning is not working or being ignored by those newbies in gambling, in their mind they want to either experience gambling or they are hoping to win in gambling, to earn which is not a very good impression to gambling, because we know how gambling works, you will lose more than what you can earn and even you have earned from it for sure you will use it for gambling again which is in the end you will not have anything, only losses, that's why its important for those new gamblers to mind their own character, if they can get addicted easily then gambling is not for them, gambling should not be played at the first place, gambling is one thing that a weak hearted or easily swayed by their emotion to avoided, or else they will learn the hard truth of gambling.

Help them set up clear-cut rules that they 100% should follow all the time. It can be about the frequency of gambling sessions, amount for each bet and the amount for each session, or even more if you can come up with it. Simple yet the best method to prevent someone from overspending when it comes to gambling.

As for companies doing stuff to help players, they already do. At least, if you count them plastering about prevent addiction foundations and whatnot in their page at a small corner. They usually don't have that big of an obligation to do so since they're still a business. Who'd want to stop users, regardless of their circumstances, from playing and therefore paying them?

[TopT3ns]

To help new users so that they are not easily influenced by being addicted to gambling places, they must provide advice on being able to control their patience so that they are not easily influenced by gambling places. Usually gambling places will give various kinds of bonuses for deposits made by users, but actually if You know that gambling places will not always make a profit, sometimes when you transfer money to a gambling site you will only get losses because sometimes the developers have set the winning percentage that each user who visits the gambling site has set.

Same here! That's one of the reason why I'm still a simple gambler and still not developing a gambling addiction. Out of curiousity, I randomly checked my own self and my previous gambling activity to see if there's something new in my attitude towards gambling, that's how I maintain myself when it comes to this matter. Having a strong determination and strictly following your own rules in gambling is very helpful too, So I suggest to those beginners who wants to know our secrets by not being addicted in gambling, Do not break your own rules and do not greed consume you because it may lead you to a disaster moments in your life.
