Does online gambling lead to more addiction?

[Wakate]

I have never played physical slot machines, but I think that they are very different from online slot machines. The thing is, I don?t like the idea of someone sitting next to me and spying on my results on the slot machine. I like silence and that?s why I often argue with my friends that online casinos are always better than physical casinos.
Yes, in a physical casino, a gambler can attract the attention of some beauty with his winnings, but this is a dubious success. You can also attract the attention of evil people who will then follow you out of the casino

I never played slot even, i prefer card games because i like to be with others, the reason why i play is just to be in company and have fun with my friends
I also find poker fun, and we often play without money but only with the fiches;
In the end that matters, have fun!

Maybe that's good. But poker is a great game, I often played it myself, as well as blackjack. I also have a poker set, it's a suitcase with chips, dice, cards and cubes. And of course a button that shows who is in what position. And it's a hell of a fun pastime. Unfortunately, I often haven't been to my home country before and had to play online poker for small money. Which served more as incentives to strive for victory than to count on additional income. Therefore, sometimes I even often won tournaments, although I wouldn't say that I was a professional in poker.

Any game we are gambling on, it is very important that we don't add emotions because that's what is going to increase our addiction to the game which will make us to keep gambling on that particular game. Gambling is not supposed to be an activity that will make us to have huge addiction you will not be able to control. Controlling an addiction is never easy that's why it's good for us to gamble responsibly without trying to hard to make money from our favourite bets. It is not easy to be betting everytime without having an addiction. Although this may take a longer period of time before the addiction reflect.

Well, I really do not see how it's possible that someone will be playing a particular game and then out of the blue, decide to attach emotion to it, one thing often leads to another and most of the time, I think winning a good sum of money from a particular game is often where most gamblers begin to build emotion towards that game.

Have you noticed that most gamblers often will play for a very longer time, the same game they have won good amount from? Like myself for example, I often will spend more time playing a game I won good amount from, hoping that I would win more, this is often where emotion sets in, and this is what gamblers need to avoid from happening to them, because this is how most gamblers will win, and the end up still losing the same money they won.

We should not join others in looking for flimsy excuses for our addiction in gambling, one of the purpose for having online gambling platforms is to serve us better, thereby creating an avenue everyone could conveniently use their devices privately to access gambling at any time and at anywhere, how we now take up this and apply for our own self depends on the kind of gambler we will be, we shouldn't take a wrong approach over the existence of online gambling, it's just an advancement from the physical casinos to digital gambling.

Absolutely right. There are lots of kind of addictions, lots of problems but why we have to panic only about gambling? If someone has problems with gambling - it is his problems and he must visit a doctor. It isn`t our duty to take care of them. I googled percent of gambling addicts - it is between 1 and 5 percent(it is google, so everybody can find other results). And we mustn`t restrict other 95-99% in gambling to help these addicts. If someone want to help - he can do it himself, but nobody have to oblige all gamblers to do something with it.

Online gambling is not a reason for one to fall easily to gambling addiction or to get addicted more, even without online gambling one who still be addicted will get addicted. It is the mentality and understanding one has towards gambling that makes one to be addicted and not the availability of gambling.  When one have in mind that gambling can be a source of income the person is likely to be addicted whether online gambling or physical gambling. People make excuse and put all blame to online gambling as the rising cause of gambling addiction. Before there was no much online gambling and people were very familiar with physical gambling and then people still get into addiction and struggle.

Yes, like drug addiction and other addictions on which we know that this is where human beings could potentially be able to make themselves that deal with and this one really that needing up that self control and discipline. It will really be that best that whenever you do deal up with something then it needs control and moderation but in speaking about drug addiction then this is something that you shouldnt that be that dealing up with this thing no matter what because once you have tested this one out then you do already get addicted directly on which unlike on other addictions on which it will be still taking time but in overall which addictions could really be that destructive.

Exactly it is very funny and i consider it a good investment from a human point of view. By buying a few things you can have fun for many days, with the right friends, without spending practically anything.
I remember that in the past we also made a mini championship and whoever won had the pizza for free. So you understand nothing economically relevant. Only fun.

Yea, that's true. Online gambling is there to help gamblers have a better and easy gambling experience where they don't have to travel to a long distance to visit the land based casinos before they can gamble. So, because of the development of online gambling, I don't think it should be an avenue for gamblers to become addicted. Being addicted is what an individual should decide to be involved with or not. It's based on individual.

Yes, whether it is land-based or online casinos, we still fall into addiction if we let ourselves happen. It was our personal choice to live in gambling, and I consider myself an example, as I never saw myself in that situation.

I think the point here is that many young people may start gambling as online casinos are accessible all the time. That seems a problem arises, especially for the kids, where at their very young minds they are already exposed to gambling, which temptation may appear in their minds.

This is true, but not everyone knows their individual characteristics very well. You need to have a lot of life experience to understand: "I am a weak personality in terms of gambling" or "I do not succumb to gambling at all and I resist it very well."
But many people think in advance that they are very resistant to addictions and can control themselves. And the sad story is that in reality many people really cannot. And it is already too late when the problem gambler realizes that the gambling world has captured him, and he himself is already up to his ears in debt, and now he needs to do something with his aspirations and desire to constantly play in the casino.

[junder]

Yeah, I feel that bro

So you must hide your gambling activity from other people. That will not be good if you meet they who are too religious because they will not tolerate if they see you playing gambling. Maybe those people who heard that sound can accept what you do because they also playing gambling like ups

It is why we need to playing gambling secretly without anyone know.

I have my own perception in gambling, hiding the gambling that I do is a must because I myself am more comfortable doing it alone because if there are other people sometimes it disturbs me to enjoy the gambling that I do, Even though I have a friend who likes to gamble too, sometimes I do it with him but each of them does not interfere, there is a discussion that is done if you succeed in getting a win and there is no other discussion.

But the problem of addiction or not only depends on ourselves who do it with what point of view, if the point of view is to seek profit or income then addiction can occur. In fact, I think that many people who are addicted are those who have a point of view of making a profit by gambling.

There are indeed many pros and cons with the advancement of technology today, no one is to blame, it's just that every user is unable to control themselves to stop gambling or addiction, although there are many cases outside about gambling, maybe some of them use gambling just for entertainment without relying on it for their living needs and in the end many lose their lives because of the many debts for gambling, honestly I agree with you about the wrong approach to online gambling sites because it is a world progress that we must follow otherwise we will be left behind by civilization, therefore we must be smart in controlling ourselves so as not to fall too deep into gambling.

I don`t say that we need to become some kind of addicts. Let`s talk about alcohol or smoking for example. It is addiction too. But no one tell us that it would be good to close alcohol and tobacco plants, close restaurants "because people drink there". No one try to stop others from drinking or smoking home(it is same thing as online gambling as for me). Why everybody cares about gambling addicts but doesn`t care about others? Just leave gambling alone.

Addiction is a choice that we ourselves can choose to be addicted or not, it's just that many people who experience gambling are too excessive in doing it until it makes their emotional feelings uncontrollable, now for people who can control themselves they will not gamble excessively and it is not specific to one type of gambling but for online or physical gambling, it can be the same as making us addicted but if we ourselves can manage it well then there will be no addiction.
The number of young people who are addicted is certainly a problem, but to prevent this problem there is no definite way unless they themselves realize that what they are doing is wrong.

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.

Offline gambling does not attract people that much, but online gambling has attracted young gamblers the most. If you notice, then you will definitely understand that offline gambling can be played by a single person but it is an old way of gambling, but in online gambling, new updated games and bets have been played sitting at home. With the new updated games and bets, more people are getting attracted and signs of addiction are appearing in it.
However, some people are gambling for fun and some people are gambling for fun and even becoming addicted, so I think that if people use some strategies in gambling, the signs of addiction to gambling will be reduced. However, I have found that busy people are very few in gambling and people who are retired and have less work are seen in gambling more. Those who spend more time gambling are the only ones who are addicted to gambling.

In fact, online gambling is much more accessible, that's why gamblers like to play bets in these online casinos most of the time. And gamblers always get various types of tempting offers in online casinos, that's why the young generation is more addicted to online casinos. Although gamblers start gambling for fun, it is gradually giving rise to addiction in everyone. So if you want to stay away from this addiction, you must maintain all the restrictions well. Those who are always naked in gambling are deeply addicted to this gambling. And even if they want to, they will not be able to get out of this addiction very easily.

Indeed, choice of online gambling is penetrating, and for this reason, many individuals participate without clearly understanding the extent of their implications. The new offers that appear now are an attraction that is hard to turn a blind eye fast, especially for those who have gotten accustomed to such kind of an experience. At first glance, it may be just entertainment, but if left uncontrolled, this results in the development of other effects. When a person is in a certain extent oversensitive, it will be very hard at times to just let go even if one wants or desires so. Hence, the balance is very inevitable in everything to ensure that they do not transform into something that is hard to handle within the game.

The ability to control yourself will allow you to prevent getting addicted as even there are pressure to gamble if you know your limitation and you are capable to control your emotion, the chance not getting hook is possible, more on how you treat and understand the venue of any activities that you are involving yourself.

Best to have that control even playing offshore or using online, it's just the same in terms of managing both finances and time to spend.

In reality, if someone can control their emotions, whether online or offline, then they will definitely be able to prevent themselves from becoming addicted to gambling. However, those who are a little more sensible and consider their own situation and that of their family can certainly prevent themselves from becoming addicted to gambling. However, online gambling is more suitable in the current situation and people are becoming more addicted to it because it has more advantages than offline gambling.

In a physical casino, a person has to be present and gamble. It takes extra time to go there and there is not always an opportunity to gamble at that place. But online casinos give a gambler the experience of gambling at home. He can gamble in a much more comfortable environment than in a physical casino. An alternative to physical casinos is online casinos. Instead of considering this as one of the reasons for addiction, the convenience should be considered. However, if we want to find out a statistic that gamblers are more likely to get addicted to any platform, then at present, online platforms will be referred. Whether online or offline, if a gambler has control over himself, he will never get addicted and if he loses control, it is natural that he will get addicted.
