Does online gambling lead to more addiction?

[bakasabo]

I understand OP question as following, online gambling make more addicted than offline gambling. To find the answer we must compare similar amount of gamblers towards addicted. If for example 5 millions gamble online and 50k became addicted, and 100k gamble offline, and 10k became addicted, then it does not mean that online gambling lead to more addiction. Online gambling no doubt is more popular and accessible. But variety of things to do online allows gamblers not to focus so much on gambling, and drop it after losses or if expectations does not match.

[TopT3ns]

My answer to the question raised by the op is Yes, online gambling can cause addiction. Because I watched something on tiktok about a transportation jeepney not noticing that one of its passengers was taking a video of it while it was driving, its gambling app was online on its mobile device mounted on top of the vehicle just a hand's breadth away.

And the gambling online that is rampant here in our country is the scatter casino online. Many people are addicted to it, which in the end ruined their lives.

It is quite evident that since gambling can be accessed online, most people can lose considerable amounts of money and it can affect many aspects of their lives once they progress to a point where they cannot control themselves. Our dependence to mobile devices have brought people in without them being aware of how engrossed they are already. It is actually just those many who at first start to consciously attempt, but unconsciously continue to gradually relinquish their control over their money and their lives. The addition of online sales of gambling services makes matters worse since everyone is attracted to the option without proper consideration. Knowledge to avoid getting involved is crucial, both for oneself as well as for not letting the people close to you go through it also.

For its accessibility well I could agree that more people would lead into addiction since they can access this anywhere they want as long as they have internet. That's why its really better for people to have good knowledge towards gambling and don't expect to much on it since by this they maybe can escape those addictive situation.

Since common cause of that condition is for wanting to earn a lot of money that's why its better not to listen to those who promotes these activities and they must conduct their own research to verify everything they heard misleading information about it. Knowledge and discipline is important to avoid addiction so people really need to stick with reality and avoid getting hype with other people say about easy money schemes on gambling.

Behind this as always there are very powerful psychological reasons;
When you enter a mess, from the truth, you feel a little guilty of what you do;
Do you think the people who see you enter think badly of you and therefore avoid if you can.

While an online game, playing from the computer or mobile phone, play it alone in an intimate way;
Nobody apart from you can know what you do, and this is safe to you.

Yes that is the main reason why more people are getting addicted after the emergence of online gambling, we can't lie that we always prefer to do everything easier and online casinos really provide convenience in terms of accessibility that makes gamblers more comfortable and save a little money such as transportation costs when they still go to physical casinos, and on the other hand yes I agree with you that a person's dependence on mobile devices is also one of the triggers that makes it easier for them to connect with gambling considering that casinos now make social media the biggest place to promote.

I support your idea that at first many of them just try it but in the end they get caught up in the excitement and extraordinary sensation that makes them lose consciousness and continue to want more especially when they manage to win in their first try, actually this is a bit complicated because what triggers their interest is money which we all always like.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

I decided to deal with this problem on my own and it was very hard for me to go through all this. It would be better to turn to a specialist in this field than to suffer like this. Yes, it requires money, but it is definitely worth it.

If you are serious about this, then you don't have to see it as a problem to pay a specialist who can help you go through the process of repentance from being an addict. Like from your first comment, you said you have ended up in debt and have done things that people were imagining if you were the one that did it. I am not an expert or a therapist, but I only shared the experience I had and how I was able to quickly tackle it and over it.

If we talk about addiction, then online and offline gambling can also make everyone who does it addicted, it's just that currently online gambling which is indeed popular has a view for many people that online gambling makes many people addicted to gambling but is this valid? of course not, because addiction or not in my opinion is not determined by the type of gambling alone because this is a matter of the mindset of each player who does the gambling.
Now from the many people who do online gambling, of course not everyone is addicted, I'm sure there are those out there who can control themselves by gambling regularly and keeping themselves in safe control in other words not addicted.

[Obab]

Yes, I think online casinos can cause fear among the two people in the future, especially for younger generations, online casinos are going to cause an addiction. In the future it will become more accessible and easily accessible because they can play from any place at any time, it is not possible to cause control lost addiction. Gambling on online platforms can be done much faster than traditional casinos and which can quickly expand people to play more for rice-rice-rice-rice-rice-rice-rice-rice-rice-rate-rise-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-rate-r Such activity can be very harmful to the mental health of younger generation, and it will become a much worse person in the eyes of society and gradually become extinct.

Talking about dropping it after loses or if expectations does not match, actually I think is only those responsible gamblers that can only think of dropping it so easily probably after losing for sometime. But those who are addicted will keep gambling regardless to their losing record. However, is obvious that online gambling leads to more addiction more than offline gambling.

If you're gambling offline immediately you leave for work you won't have the chance to gamble not until you're back, you know at this point some self control is applied. While online gamblers has a less stress you know online gamblers can decide to gamble wherever place they find themselves in, as long as you're with your cellphone both in your working place. Sometimes you can even end up not concentrating in your duty post all in the name of gambling, at this point it becomes addiction, which is why online gambling can  lead one to become more addicted than the offline gambling.

[Sonia_123]

Of the truth online gambling leads to more addiction than traditional gambling, because at anytime you can gamble at your comfort zone even late night as long as you have your smart phone with you which gives you easy access, gambling is always with you and it is difficult for people to know that you are gambling because it's not obvious for someone to tell or identify .
Online gambling is just like video games, online gambling work on your psychology and they have a better way to appeal and attract their customers and make them coming back for more,before you know it you are gone, it becomes part of your life and very difficult to stop even when you are not winning, and it starts affecting the persons way of life,like his relationship with people , his health and job.

Sometimes you can even end up not concentrating in your duty post all in the name of gambling, at this point it becomes addiction, which is why online gambling can  lead one to become more addicted than the offline gambling.

It will really interfere with all kinds of activities that you do if it is accompanied by gambling that is quite active and without any breaks.
Online gambling addiction will be more dangerous if it interferes with your main life.

But it also depends on everyone's habits, how to handle online gambling properly without having to get stuck on addiction.
But it will be difficult if you are already addicted, especially in illegal online casinos that will only deceive many people with games that only benefit the dealer.

Seeking for help when you have noticed that you are becoming addicted to gamble is the best thing one could do for himself, instead of trying to quite by himself and still continue to gamble. However, it's not like one can't stop gambling by himself without seeking for someone's help but going for help increases your chances of stoping gamble early. Although it will cost you money but considering that if you try to stop by yourself you might lose more than that amount while continuing to gamble.

Gambling for a long time without a break can easily lead a gambler into a deep addiction to gambling, and once addicted, it becomes increasingly difficult to control. Gambling addiction gradually leads a gambler to disaster.
Addicted gamblers gamble uncontrollably, never thinking about how much money they are losing. They gamble with debt, constantly gambling just to win, but in the meantime they are losing everything.
The real solution is awareness, responsibility, limits and self-control. Those who are already addicted should seek professional help, and new gamblers should maintain everything well and gamble for recreational purposes. So that they do not lose everything in the future.

I came to exactly the same understanding. Indeed, you shouldn't consider paying for a specialist's services a problem. If you think about it, that's the least of the difficulties. At that time, I was in a situation where I didn't see any way out and was very depressed by such personal circumstances. Only with time did I understand that I should have taken this path from the very beginning, and not dealt with it on my own. Yes, youth is like that. A lot of mistakes are made, and then there is a price to pay.

[Scarlett_23]

This is not subject to argument because everyone already know that online gambling eliminates all the things that would have somehow discourage someone from becoming addicted such as the need to visit the physical shop every other day which might appear like they are jobless as idle. Some people people might just take because of what people will say and avoid visiting the shop everyday. But with online gambling, no one knows what you are doing and the process of funding is easy that is why a gambler can continue to make deposits even when the losses keep coming.

Online gambling is much easier and more convenient than regular gambling and people are more addicted to it. Because privacy is maintained here and it is very convenient in transactions and cases.
In regular gambling, the gambler's partner can easily know about him but in online gambling, no one can know where the gambler came from and how much money he spent. These advantages have made online gambling even more dangerous.

A gambler can easily enter here but he has to pay a lot to get out. Gambling not only destroys a person but also destroys his entire family and social system.

And now let`s watch on the online gambling from the other side. Before gambling i drunk alcohol after difficult job, after some problems, etc. Was rude, could cry on my wife. Now i spend $5-10 and about a hour to rest in online casino.
What way is better, you can decide yourself, but for me online gambling is a good decision to remove negative and rest.
PS. I know that there are other way to rest, without alcohol and gambling, but it is just example, how online gambling can help.

Overtime online gambling has become very popular, many people prefer to use websites and apps to bet on their favorite sports and casino games. This has made gambling very convenient and easily accessible, it's actually why people get addicted to it. Anyone who has a smartphone won't see the need of going to a bet center to gamble. The world has gone digital, but is this causing more harm than good?. land based casinos and bet shops require you to leave your house but online gambling is available, people can gamble from the comfort of their home whenever and however they want. This has made a lot of people addicted, some started by staking low amounts but overtime they found themselves gambling with large amounts of money. Easy access to gambling websites can make it harder to stop and this might lead to a serious issue. Most people think they are in Control of theirself or just playing to have fun but they don't notice that it's turning into an habit. Online gambling has made more addicts than offline gambling.

Gambling does not make anyone addicted, rather gamblers become addicted to gambling because of their habits, whether it is online gambling or offline gambling. If a person does not consider gambling as a means of earning money but gambles for entertainment, then that person will never become addicted to gambling, but if a person considers gambling as a means of earning money and considers gambling as his main means of earning, then he will become addicted to gambling. However, online gambling has become much easier and more popular than offline gambling today.

Nope. Gambling itself is the one that makes people addicted. The nature of the gambling which is fast phased games and offers jackpot rewards chance per spin is the one that triggers greed in every gambler.

It’s easy to say that you will be addicted if you play for entertainment but not everyone has a total control with ourselves. Some people that live properly becomes addicted after an introductory to gambling by a friend or through curiosity.

There’s a lot of story about rich man become poor because of gambling addiction, they suffer addiction after their success on business and just try to gamble for fun.

And I can also add dude, in the past, when there was no online, only those with large amounts of money could somehow enter physical casinos. But when online casinos started to spread, even the poorest people were able to play casino games via online.

The casinos that came closer to the people, if we look at it literally, they may have only put in coins, but because the number of poor people is greater, the number of losers will increase even more because the majority of poor people now rely on luck via casino online.

Addiction is forming  in a gradual way in the course of which the gambling   perceiving  as the activity that you can't go a day without. Addicted gambler  thinks about it every minute  and tries to find an easy access to it. Online gives him/her such chance,  stepping up his/her addiction. Thus, unswering your question, I would say YES, "online gambling lead to more addiction".
