Does online gambling lead to more addiction?

[Agbe]

People were saying yes because of the easy access to the casinos without going far to gamble. At the comfort of your zone, you can play games of your choice. Though I am not disputing the fact that it is not leading to more addiction but if anyone wants to be addicted, he can at any center be a offline or online. Even as now people/gamblers still full in the offline casinos centers to play games every day. So the addiction can come from the both sides. Those who don't have smart phone use the offline casinos centers while some of them who have smart phone but no data to access the casinos still use the offline casinos centers and all produce addiction gamblers.

So indeed what causes more addiction depends on ourselves how to respond to it, if we are too happy with easy access then it is easy to get addicted, but there are still people playing gambling then losing and stopping.

The problem is when they can't maintain their emotions when playing, how many cases occur where they lose and then deposit again until they end up addicted? Then it's about self-control, isn't it?
Even in offline gambling they can get addicted if the atmosphere of the casino makes them want to come again.

The main problem here is online gambling is more accessible and can hit your vulnerability easily. That's why if you can't control the emotions, you have when gambling, then you're an easy target. If you don't have self-control, then you're prone of getting addicted on gambling.

Online gambling is easy to access, you can gamble in your house and spend a lot of money without thinking because you're in your safe haven, that's why it can reach you and touch your emotions, ended up to addiction.

Yes, actually I also have the same thoughts as you, my friend, which is that addiction problems are actually not determined by where you gamble, meaning that apart from the advantages in terms of accessibility provided by online casinos and the difficulty of accessibility when you want to go to an online casino, it cannot actually be used as a reference that you will be "more likely to end up addicted", so I think in the end for addiction problems it depends on how you view gambling and how you treat this activity. In the end, as you said, addiction can come from anywhere, and for online or physical casinos I think it's nothing more than a temporary option for addiction problems, it depends on how you deal with gambling from the start and what your goals are in gambling.

That is a good approach. You need to make sure you want to quit gambling for real with all your desire and all of yourself otherwise you will not be able to quit it. In fact online gambling can be a bit more of a trigger in making anyone addicted compared to offline casinos though the same can be said this way, if anyone want with all his desire and all himself to become addicted he can become even though online casinos are not used by such person. In fact I remember a such person many years ago that he used to play with bet max which was 10 dollars at that time and he kept losing and once losing he used to say to the casino owner, please shut down this machine until I come back as he though to win a lot, in fact he kept losing until losing it all and going home, the addiction was really high in him and he didn't use at all online casinos.

[Renampun]

actually not really because offline casinos are much more addictive, easy access and can be done anywhere is the advantage offered by online gambling but social interaction, hype and euphoria when in an offline casino can be very addictive especially if there are drinks, fast loans and women, it can make someone very addicted to gambling.

gambling is a dangerous thing if it can not be controlled but it is a fast way to get rich if you are lucky and controlled well for that never be a loser in gambling so that your time is not wasted.

[Orpichukwu]

It can only lead to addiction if you play online gambling, but if you only see it and don't try to gamble online, it is unlikely that you will become addicted in the future.

But once you try to deposit at a casino online, the chances are high that you will become addicted in the future, it's that simple to understand,
especially if you do it repeatedly.

Only those who gamble online will enjoy online gambling, and those who use offline will enjoy offline gambling, so those who use online casinos, if they don't get themselves into others and control themselves, will get addicted. Some can still play and not get addicted to gambling.

It's not a must that if you use an online casino, you must get addicted. Online casinos are not developed in order to get people into addiction, but they're to make gambling easier for those who need to gamble in the comfort of their homes.

Indeed, being able to control ourselves when playing can help in avoiding any troubles that we might encounter. If we can devise a proper schedule to contain the amount of time spent of the money which is to be invested then what is going on becomes fun without going harmful. The success is to be achieved by acknowledging and avoiding going above the boundaries set from the beginning. He or she maintain a pleasant and calculated demeanour which would assist in preventing or reducing the possibility of getting lost to the games. Therefore, it is not a shame to quit if you feel that the situation is beyond your control since balance is very important.

Yeah, as it is the right call to made when you see that you are getting deep with your gambling, quitting is the right choice as you can deal with your gambling the next time to take your session, either you are online or you are playing offshore, the  kind of attitude is needed as it will save your ass since control over yourself is very important above all.

Online gambling though have that extra push as it can easily be done depositing your money and let you play without any delayed.

Online gambling is one of the ways to get quick addiction as a gambler. We should never joke with online gambling because this is very addictive since you don't have to leave your comfortable zone for a physical casino or shop where you can gamble for the money. Making money as a gambler need commitment but sometimes, luck has turn the table many times seeing a newbie making consistent profits from betting without even observing any risk management.
Risk management is helpful for any gambler that wants to keep ensuring that they don't easily get addiction from betting everyday.

No form of gambling guarantees addiction but the online gambling have high chances. The access is simple and steady, no late hours. It allows players no rest, midnight games consists of online gamblers and it affects productivity in office. Frequent thoughts on betting due to availability drops down discipline for a lot of punters. In a nutshell, time limitation is low on online gaming, compared to offline settings, where players may decide to go home or sleep in the hotel.

Therefore, when you say that being an addict or having an addiction is clearly a matter of choice. In which I also agree. And most addictions start with just trying but in the end the players realize that playing gambling has become a habit for them.

There are many gamblers like this and even more, though I don't think all gamblers are like this, because I gamble yes but my capital for playing at the casino is really limited.

If compared to physical casinos then yes I also agree that online casinos have a greater potential to make gamblers end up addicted, the ease of accessibility is the only biggest reason here, as you said that it is never too late and it will not bother a gambler every time they want to gamble, there is nothing stopping a gambler from getting involved in online casinos, but on the other hand for addiction issues I think sometimes it also depends on the gambler themselves, although for example in terms of accessibility it is very easy but if for example from the start they already know and understand everything then I think they should not end up addicted, but yes this is only possible for people who are indeed firm and disciplined.

Online gambling provides comfort, accessibility, and anonymity, which can entice a gambler into gambling unnecessarily, resulting in addiction. A gambler can easily fund his betting account, and as a result, such a gambler is likely to spend a significant amount of time gambling, gradually developing an addiction that is difficult to overcome because we are what we do constantly.

Well thats your own opinion about online gambling because online gambling has made gambling more easier and less stressful. Talking about addiction, you can become addicted to anything so long as you lack self control and not just online gambling. I have heard of so many cases were addicted gamblers use there valuables like cloth, motor cycle etc to gamble however this is not possible with online gambling. Online gambling saves you the embarrassment of someone seizing your cloth or as a result of betting on credit.

Haha, yeah i also heard such cases in the physical gambling, because when someone lost in the bet and he/she can not paid it then he/she must be pay to another way as like selling another assets as you mentioned motorcycle, clothes, clock, mobile and many things, so in that cases online gambling is very comfortable to everyone, and i agreed with you physical gambling is also embracing sometimes.

I would say that gambling addiction is completely dependent on ourselves. If we cannot control ourselves, we will easily become addicted to gambling. And if we are aware and can control ourselves, then the chances of becoming addicted to gambling are very low.

Online casinos have become very popular in the last 4/5 years. Online casinos have made gambling easy. However, gambling addiction is a very old thing. So I would not say that more people are becoming addicted to gambling because of online casinos. Online casinos have made gambling easier. Many people are now able to gamble. However, participating in gambling and being addicted to gambling are not the same thing.

Because people can access online casinos any time, it is possible that people can gamble excessively. It is different with physical casinos, people can't access it any time. That's why online casinos can make people to be easier to get addiction because they can easily access the casino games every time they want. But if we can make some limitations, we actually can avoid an excessive gambling although it is on online gambling. It is important to limit the amount of money to use, and it is necessary to limit the time to gamble as well. These are 2 necessary things to limit in online casinos to prevent from an excessive gambling cases.

That's the point "ourselves", we wont be easily addicted by online gambling if we can control ourselves although the access to online gambling become easier nowadays.
As I said before, gambling addiction comes from ourselves not from outsider factors unlike other addictions such as alcohol, drugs, or even cigar where there is addictive substances although actually it will also depending on ourselves.
IMO gambling addiction is 100% coming from ourselves, from our own psychological factor, from our mindset, so if we have full control of ourselves, there is no chance for gambling addiction to comes although we see gambling ads every single minute.

I'm acquainted with the word "addiction". It have ruined the lives of moat gamblers, some going to the extent of selling their properties because of the pending heavy debts on their heads. To be on the safer side, one needs to start heading straight for the preventive ways and self control. This is entirely important when indulging in the gambling system.

What are the expectations when we indulge in gambling? Everyone wishes to win but we know how it operates, everyone cannot win at the exact same time, the vast numbers lose and only few are capable of hitting the nail harder. Online gambling is easy but I think it does major damage to those people that are greedy and desperate to accomplish their goals. One thing with addicted gamblers, they always keep every atom of hope alive because they crucially believe every day comes with different pattern and redemption. We know this is fixed because the system will manipulate those that are weak, we should never be part of this indulged angle because that part never end well.

Those that lives far away from a physical casino can not always have the chance to get there and gamble all the time, and because of that, they might easily stay away from gamble if they become too addicted to gamble. As a gambler, have to be aware that excessive gamble can lead to bigger loss. Because online gamble is easy to access it will also make addicted gambler gamble more anytime they have money. And am sure even an under age gamblers will also take advantage of the online casino and gamble when they are not up to the age of gambling.

Exactly, online casino made it easier from one to gamble from their comfort zone , but still it also fuel gambling addiction, some people that can't control their emotions are the ones that easily get themselves ruin by gambling, because whenever they experience any loss they always have the zeal of trying to get it back In one way or the other, leading them to going to a point of doubling their stakes without thinking of the chances they have in losing that game , we usually think about the part that interest us only neglecting the ones that will bring disappointment or regret , because you can either win or lose is two ways.

-snip-

In offline casinos things like social interaction, hype and euphoria with women and lots of drinks, it is an unavoidable activity and becomes a memory that will not be forgotten.
But you need to know that in some Offline casinos that are already supervised by the government there will be officers who make sure someone is not in a state of addiction that is too severe, so there will be restrictions on bets that will be made so as not to make others too addicted.

But when playing in an online casino let alone an illegal casino, there will be no social interaction and and there will be no restrictions that make them have to think twice, so the addiction will happen faster and lose money also faster. Moreover, the anonymity of each player will be very maintained because illegal online casinos will never ask for user data even if they want to make a large enough withdrawal, but it will be very rare because in the end illegal online casinos will only take user money quite easily.

In contrast to online casinos that are already official and supervised by the government, let alone casinos that have a Curacao license which is already a gambling regulatory body and is an official authorization for gambling companies to operate legally according to government regulations.
