Online Gambling: Modern entertainment or highly addictive game?

[UchihaSarada]

The proliferation of online gambling in recent years has opened a new era for the gambling industry. According to statistics, there are about 800 companies in the world, with servers in 70 different countries providing more than 4,000 virtual slot machines, 600 virtual casino points, 300 bingo sites, 260 sports betting sites and 240 online poker points. With gambling increasingly legalized in many countries, this can be considered a modern entertainment game.

This is the day the game industry attracts many workers (directly or indirectly) and generates a large amount of revenue. With the legalization of some online gambling, the number of players has also increased significantly. And this is considered a quite popular recreational game in some countries.

Besides the positive factors, this modern form of entertainment is showing a higher addictive potential than traditional gambling. Many witnesses of online gambling addiction said they had completely lost control of their mind and were driven by an irrepressible desire. It is easy to access the game at any time and the gap between real money and virtual money on the computer is quite large. Players are easily fooled by the numbers on the screen. They do not have the feeling of winning or losing money compared to when holding real money, so players feel like this is just a game.


Besides, online gambling games do not require one person to observe the other, so they become very simple. Players seem to be absorbed in the virtual world and forget about the people around them, the games continue one after another, so they are more likely to become addicted to games on the screen. What is online gambling in your personal opinion? Are your feelings different from when you play traditional gambling? Does it affect your gambling habits when you play online? Please share your experiences here.

When it comes to gambling then each person does have their own preference when it comes to gambling whether they would like on having that online session or they would really be liking on doing physical.
If we do really just that tend to check and look out on how things been done in between set ups then it is really that convenient for you to play up gambling online or in front of you PC or computer but the main
thing that you would really be able to miss out is that talking about socialization with other people and that crowd ambiance on which you cant really be able to see and hear off.

This is why if you are someone who do really enjoys on seeing other faces then going into those physical casinos would really be your choice, but if you are someone whose really that
contented and wants not to go into public places then online ones would be your best choice.

Surely the online aspect of gambling has additionally addictive elements and it has also become increasingly easier to out your money in there. Whereas land based casinos on most places keep requiring stricter regulations. So it seems like the animations and proc effects in a online casinos are made specifically with addictive personality traits in mind because you really see them in games that cater to this type of person most such as low RTP slots etc. No wonder the online industry has been meeting s lot of success. Many players but fewer costs.

This is the day the gaming industry attracts many workers (directly or indirectly) and creates a large source of revenue. With the legalization of some online gambling activities, the number of players has also increased significantly. And this is considered a quite popular entertainment game in some countries.

Indeed, nowadays people tend to do everything they can through digital means, including gambling. Before, they had to go to physical shops to place bets, what is really not advisable at countries where gambling is illegal. But now, through the internet, individuals can gamble even from countries where this practice is forbidden by authorities, without having to expose themselves on the streets at clandestine houses. They can bet comfortably from home at any time of the day. This accessibility helped gambling to become more popular than before.

At same time, the industry also created more jobs' spots, as the demand for the services increased, so people like us have the opportunity to work full time jobs or side hustles by working for casinos. That is a modern phenomeon which has been possible due to internet widespread even in remote areas of the world.

Online gambling has made easy access to gambling platforms from your homes or wherever you are, which can easily increase the zeal of one to gamble often, and that can lead to addiction. Land based casinos which is known as the traditional casinos are strict with whoever is going to gamble in the casino to make show that laws are not violated. But is can not be accessed at anytime but you must plan for it.

I almost got carried away the first time that I started gambling online, because of the varieties of games and I can gamble even on my bed, but I became very cautious of myself when I noticed a strange change in my attitude towards gambling. This was how I could control myself, so what I have to say is that online casino, can make someone get addicted easily compared to land based casinos.

[GideonGono]

For me it is both of it, gambling would and has always been a form of entertainment for some of us, and making it online is an easy access for us we could gamble anywhere and anytime we want.
And it is true that it is highly addictive game, specially for those who are eager to have an easy money or profit.

[Yatsan]

I doubt with modern entertainment given that not all people are into gambling activities, in both online and landbased. It just promotes convenience to gamblers who haave no time or personally prefers not, to visit a gambling establishment. Gambling is addictive to those who have huge drive for money and to get rich quickly; the bigger the drive, the longer your exposure, the more you're getting prone to addiction. If gambling is just an activity yielding to negative outcomes, then how come there are still people enjoying their experience despite of loss? It's because there are people who knows what amount are they willing to lose in exchange for entertainment and a little hope for profit. Those who are becoming desperate of short routes to success are the only ones which are contenders for gambling addiction.

Depends on what kind of an individual or a gambler you are. Convenience is there with accessibility but if you have control of your gambling desires then I doubt you'd be in a bad situation in this industry. Even if you gamble a few times in casinos, if you will bet everything you have for a single nigjt, then that's the same with gambling daily even with small amounts. Self discipline is a virtue and that's the thing we should prioritize more than hitting the jackpot which will never be assured.

Online gambling is much more affordable than traditional gambling, in my opinion. Of course I feel different, because there's no one around, in the first place. I'm at home behind my computer and I don't hear annoying sounds made by other gamblers, nor I hear their boring conversations. I can stop whenever I want, without thinking that I spent some time and money to get here so I shouldn't leave after just 3 minutes of playing. Those kind of things.

This is a very correct clarification. Everyone blames online gambling for its easy accessibility, but everyone forgets the other side of this: leaving is also easy. And if we are talking about offline gambling, then I can hardly imagine how a gambler, having lost his deposit faster than he expected, immediately leaves the casino. Most likely, he will take more money (from a credit card or something else) because he is forced to “recoup” his costs of getting to the casino and still having fun.
Everything is as always: advantages from a certain angle can be regarded as disadvantages and vice versa.

Play in the comfort of your home so they say. I sometimes eat my meal in front of the desktop so I won't miss a thing. Users today are doing the sane thing while playing and at the same time twitching.

But it's entirely different when you have to travel a few miles and dress up for the night to play cards on the table. But I think it's more fun to actually go out than online if I had the choice I would prefer to go out and have a drink and chat with real people so that we can meet eye to eye.

The gambling was moved from the offline casinos to the new era of online gambling sites.Because over a 5years,most of the people like to play the games in the offline like casinos and the local area gambling industry.Their was huge disadvantage for the offline mode of the gambling,this was the biggest reason for the gamblers to get into the online mode of gambling.The first drawback of the offline gambling was the fight after the winner was announced in the gambling places.Ofcourse the fight begins after the winner is the friend or relative of the gambling owner even the game was made in the good way.

The gambling get into the second way of the crypto based gambling site,this help the gamblers to use their money in the form of crypto currency.So their won’t be any limit to deposit the fiat from the bank with the limited funds.Sometimes the gamblers will get luck after the some of the loss.So the gamblers should need of the money to be add after the loss.But if the deposit money is the fiat,the bank will limit the deposit of fiat to the gambling site.So the if the money is crypto currency which help the gamblers to pay with maximum liquidity and able to withdraw big money to their wallet from the gambling site.

This is the same situation that we see with mobile phones and all those chats and games they provide us with. People forget about other people, they don't care about the work they're doing and think of sneaking out to the bathroom to play or watch videos.
It's not gambling that is addictive but the Internet and all the information it floods our brains with.
IMO online gambling is a deadly mix of addictive online entertainment and gambling, which can be addictive all by itself. What can you do about it? It's a modern drug we have to live with.

[acroman08]

What is online gambling in your personal opinion?

It's gambling on a pocket, I mean you can access it almost everywhere as long as you have internet and a phone or laptop.

Are your feelings different from when you play traditional gambling?

yeah, while I enjoy and get entertained gambling online, gambling on a land base casino are far more enjoyable and despite both of them being gambling, the feelings you can get from traditional gambling can be very different from online gambling.

Does it affect your gambling habits when you play online?

yes, I am more aware on what I am doing because theres less distraction and can actually focus on gambling and the rules that I have set for myself when gambling.

An entertainment and online gambling, this is indeed the reason why those who do both are very addictive.
Even that does not look at the age limit, because many underage children already play online gambling very easily on their mobile phones and may only use free internal coins that can be claimed, but to get more coins you have to buy with their money.

The main source is indeed the internet, but actually it is not the internet that is the problem,
but the misuse of the internet for things that are out of control, and eventually they become too addicts.

There should be control on the children or on oneself how to use all these conveniences as wisely as possible.
Because the modern era with increasingly sophisticated technology can be profitable or can be a disaster with some things that are not controlled, such as online gambling.

Yes, it do really be able to tick out those checkboxes when it comes to those kind of offering on which it is really that entertainment/thrill/leisure at the same time its been through the way of making those highly addictive game on which it isnt really that shocking that it would really be able to hook up tons of gamblers/people because of its nature and since that human beings are naturally greedy then on the time that they've seen that they could really be able to have that chance or probability on making money then they could really be having that kind of engagement on which we would really be definitely considering.

Some could really be having the control but some do end up on getting addicted or having lost their control and this is why we can really be able to see that there are lots of addicted persons who are really that
hovering themselves into gambling space and sharing up on the same mindset towards online gambling and even more pathetic having those beliefs that they could really be able to make a living
with it on which its not really that something right. It is really just that sad that there are people who do lost their track.

Well, it's a double-edged sword where convenience comes with making it easier to form a gambling addiction. We are easily stimulated to try different games when we play online. This is very dangerous and it is difficult for us to control our behavior, it's like mindlessly watching Youtube or scrolling through Tiktok.

This is also what worries me because nowadays online gambling forms are so easy to access and they are advertised loudly reported online. Our children may not be able to create accounts to play directly on betting sites, but they can easily access gambling games with just a phone.

[xLays]

For me, it's addictive but if you can control yourself when gambling it can be considered just a pastime or let say entertainment. However, in that case, there's a possibility of becoming addicted to gambling. Here in our area (the Philippines) there weren't as many streamers promoting gambling before. Now, well-known online streamers like those who stream Dota and ML are now casino streamers, which is why it's not surprising that there are a lot of gambling addicts here in the Philippines because of those streamers and influencers who promots gambling.

Can you share the source with this statistics that you mention because Philippines alone have more than 100 online casino registered on our PAGCOR while other countries has much larger online casino registered especially country that has high frequency of gambling such as Australia and many more.

Online is more addictive than the traditional gambling because it’s convenient while a simple thinking about gambling will make a user gambling immediately that will cause addiction later on when the frequency of the game is already high.

Addictive for the fact that there's always huge money involve on the game then this is what people trying to hit to get bigger rewards to those casino games they play. That's the reason why there are unfortunate people fall into bad situation since they didn't handle so well their vices and it result to addiction which pull them off on bad condition that hard for them to resist.

If these guys just enjoy the game and ignore the wants to earn huge money for sure that they could able to enjoy those entertaining casino games. Since wrong expectation of people sometimes put them in harsh situation that hard for them to get off. If they are just experience gambler and know how to deal with addiction for sure they can go out happy and feel satisfied with those crucial situations they encounter.

It's happen to anything.

Someone can become sex hardcore, someone can become gaming hardcore, someone can become drug hardcore etc. If people can't control themselves, sooner or later they will destroy their life.

Too much of anything is bad, even water is bad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication

Our children may not be able to create accounts to play directly on betting sites, but they can easily access gambling games with just a phone.

It's actually same lol, try to elaborate if there's a difference between the two.
