Does online gambling lead to more addiction?

[Odohu]

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.

No doubt that online gambling can make many people addicted to gambling. The temptation of the online casino shows to them when they visit the casino and see many promotions. When someone visit online casino, he can hide his activity from other people easily because he can use his smartphone to access the casino and start gamble.

Besides that, when that person use crypto, he can deposit his coin without interfering with his bank account for gambling. That will make him play gambling without any problem and his bank will not know if he use crypto to gamble. On the other side, the problem of the gambling addiction will be big because he can addicted to gambling anytime.

On like me, I don't like visiting a betting shop based on personal reasons and I believed everyone have there own reasons for not going to the casino shops to gamble. However, the interesting part of online gambling is that it gives you the opportunity to gamble on your own comfort which you don't have to go anywhere. Just take your phone or laptop (any device not your choice) and make deposit into your betting account then continue gambling and enjoy the fun.

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.

I believe that anything that one derives joy can actually lead one to addiction depending on your consistent approach to that particular and mostly when it comes to gambling it's sure inevitable that a gambling habits wouldn't lead to an addiction. And in the aspect of online gambling there's much tendency for an addiction because people spend more time with their phones more especially and there's more liberty to gambling at ease thereby encouraging and leading to gambling addictions.

That is a very good observation that anything that derives joy can lead to addiction. Personally when I was in my teenage years I used to be super addicted to games and to computer games, console games, could not resist a single day without playing for hours showing I was super hooked to it. Now that I think maybe it impacted me in starting slot machines and becoming addicted. So yes anything that delivers some joy can lead to addiction and gambling usually make us emit dopamine from brain which is false sense of joy so very dangerous.

I also feel that the digitalized world has turned me into someone who bets more, but it doesn't bother me. Because I think I can control myself and digitalization gives me comfort. I can't blame them for giving me comfort, just like I don't blame anyone for buying supermarket groceries online. If I change my consumption habits because of technological developments, I am to blame, not anyone else.

You are right. If we can control ourselves, we will never be addicted to gambling. Gambling has spread a lot because of online gambling. We can now gamble easily. As a result, although the addiction to gambling has increased for many people. Because earlier we used to have to go to the casino to gamble. But now we can easily gamble through mobile or computer.

But I would say that the worst effect has been on the youth. The youth are not properly aware of the dangers of gambling. They are easily attracted to gambling. They are not able to control themselves from gambling addiction. However, those who have been gambling for a long time or those whom we know as professional gamblers do not get addicted to it as a result of online gambling. Because they know how to control themselves.

What makes you think that young people are interested in gambling nowadays? A few decades ago in my country young people gambled in almost every yard because there was much less entertainment than today. If you did not gamble you were considered strange. Now there is a huge amount of entertainment that is not addictive. I haven't seen young people playing card games in a long time. Even when gambling was allowed in my country, there were always more old people than young people in land-based casinos.

I used to live in a country where gambling was illegal. So people couldn't gamble spontaneously. And there were no casinos here. Since gambling is officially illegal, no one can gamble openly. Online casinos have been a blessing for these people. Because now they can participate in gambling from home. At the same time, they are able to easily try different types of gambling. And this is why gambling is increasing among young people. In countries where gambling is legal, and there are many casinos, I think physical casinos are more popular than online casinos.

There are many people who could not accept gambling well but they have now accepted online gambling as a part of their entertainment. Usually, going to a physical casino is not easy for a gambler. He may not be very interested in going there due to various reasons. But when he is gambling at home, he enjoys it. He can gamble according to his needs without any pressure. And the matter of addiction is completely different. It will depend on the gambling attitude of the gambler. If he spends more time at home or in a physical casino, then his chances of getting addicted are very high. Since a gambler gets easy access in online casino, then the chances of getting addicted to online gambling are slightly higher.

Honestly, this are facts on this year. Online gambling had been one of the hyped industry now. You can see it everywhere, from social media and even the android applications have pop up advertisements of gambling. I think it has grown to an extent that many people are now hooked to it and they cannot even get out anymore.
Yes, it can lead to more addiction because of the ease of access using the new technology. I believe many people now are playing slots or sports betting especially when football got very popular too. Gambling is like the twin of sports and this probably sparked many people to become a gambler.

[nara1892]

Yes online casinos have really triggered more addicted gamblers, the only reason is because of the ease in terms of accessibility that makes it easier for someone to connect with gambling without having to bother like when we talk about physical casinos where someone has to leave the house just to gamble. But on the other hand I also understand that it also comes back to each individual because after all everyone is equipped with common sense to think and differentiate between what is good and what is bad or what should be used as a playground or what should be used as a place to be done seriously, but on the other hand yes as we know that not everyone can really use common sense and their way of thinking properly and that's the reason, but the point is yes I quite agree that online casinos have really increased the population of addicted gamblers.

In fact, most gamblers are now becoming more addicted to online gambling, especially teenagers, they are not allowed to enter physical casinos, but they can easily enter online casinos. Moreover, there is no privacy in physical casinos, so most gamblers now sit at home and gamble in online casinos to gamble secretly. But such things are even more terrible, because they are secretly becoming deeply addicted to gambling addiction, which will destroy their future. Therefore, online casinos are much more harmful than physical casinos.

It's a fact --- online casinos are more people addicted, because it is easier to access even when they are alone he can do gambling activities without people knowing.

But addiction or not is based on the player and many factor if the player can control their emotion and control overall of the habit I think they will not get addicted

But we know more addiction right? They are more unable to control their emotions so that they play gambling continuously because of the ease of depositing money, especially now that crypto casinos have started, more and more customers come to online casinos.

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.

All you need to play online casino is a smartphone and internet connection. And it can be played anytime from anywhere which is also very easy to access due to which a person can gamble anytime they want which is not possible for physical casino sites. And that's why people's addiction to online casino is increasing day by day. Gambling sites are promoted through social media television channels and different types of banners in such a way that people get attracted to them very quickly. And after gambling for some time, they become deeply addicted. Because it is very easy to accept and gamble by keeping yourself hidden from everyone.

[atookz]

I agree with you, online gambling makes more and more people addicted because it is convenient and easy to access. It does not require large capital, can be done anywhere and can be accessed by everyone easily are the advantages of online gambling. All of that can make more people enter gambling and become addicted. Unlike direct gambling which takes time and not everyone can do it because there are usually age restrictions and certainly with large capital. Especially for young people, now many online gambling sites have attractive graphics so that they are very fun to play and with small capital but can get benefits that make someone more interested in online gambling and continue to play.

I would say that online gambling has lowered the entry threshold into the game. I suspect that many people play, even those who are not allowed to play due to age or other reasons, and they find ways to access the game on the Internet. In online gambling, the player is more immersed in his thoughts than in the casino building, because at home a more comfortable environment is created and the feelings are exalted, it seems that you can play constantly, because the refrigerator, toilet are nearby, and besides, if you live alone, then no one distracts you. On this favorable and comfortable ground, many players lose. I never allow myself to relax too much in the game, because I know that this can lead to not the best consequences.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Rehabilitation centers can help to change some addicted gambler, explaining your predicament to your love ones and allowing them to advise you is another way that can help an addict. Another means is to create some self restriction rules, read it to yourself everyday and make sure you discipline yourself to stand by it.

The last option helped me, but I was not completely sure that it would help. It would have been much better if a specialist in this field had provided help. It would also be good to undergo a full recovery course, as this would have helped me understand the situation I was in.

The most offensive and annoying thing was that I had no money at all for such procedures, if you can call them that. I ended up completely in debt. People close to me looked at me as if I was a madman who had done something incredibly terrible. None of them could have imagined that I was capable of such a thing. To lose a huge amount of money and also get into a lot of debt.

Addiction can actually make you do terrible things, I didn't allow mine to go out of hand, through self discipline, I just withdraw the bad habit gradually until I almost stopped gambling but I didn't stop. There were times when I would hand some of my money to my mum and ask her to hold it and only give it to me when I needed it for something important. I would have to tell myself not to spend more than a certain amount a day in betting. So, since it's something you started by yourself, you have to adopt a suitable way to end it.

Online gambling has gained the most popularity in the present era and it has spread to every country. The young generation of most of the society is getting addicted to this gambling through mobile phones and they are seeing it as a source of income by going to casinos. Although having a smartphone makes it possible to gamble very easily and quickly, but people are also becoming addicted to it. According to my knowledge, young boys from most of the societies are getting more addicted to this gambling, when a young person bets on gambling and wins money, he will become greedy for money. Gradually he will start becoming a gambler and without thinking about his future, he will drown in this gambling, it is a loss to their education and it is also a loss to the society if a person gets addicted to gambling. I think in the present era, online casinos can turn the young generation of the society into an addiction, although online casinos provide many facilities but people also get addicted here.

Right, i have seen some young boys around me, actually they're now high school going students but somehow they're involved with gambling, i think one of them boy start casino and he earned some money, then he convinced other friends, but they think gambling is just easy money making way, they understood it was a wrong way, but when they lost a lot of money.

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. As I found out, it turns out to be quite a decent treatment for this addiction. If you take the full course, then a person copes with it and then does not have such a strong craving for casinos.

There are many factors that make them children who are still minors connected to gambling, first in terms of the environment and the second most likely is because of the influence of social media or the internet which is the largest place for casinos to promote gambling through streamers, plus as we know that now the majority of people prefer to spend most of their time playing the internet to access various social media, meaning that accessibility can really connect someone very easily and in a short period of time. Talking about money, I think it is certain that children who are still minors, especially those who are in high school, will be easily tempted because their finances are still limited and when they see an activity that provides an opportunity to get money, it is likely that they will be easily tempted and involved in it, on the other hand this is the reason why we must really pay attention to the development of a child.

[benalexis12]

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.
