Does online gambling lead to more addiction?

[Moreno233]

Online gambling just made gambling easier and more accessible than visiting physical shops, I don't know of oys right to say that it leads to gambling addiction because more people having access to gambling in an easier and flexible fashion does not not amount to gambling addiction. Although it has the tendency of making people gamble beyond limits since the deposit method is easy and smooth but I don't believe it leads to gambling addiction.

Well, it leads to addiction. As you've said, it just gave everyone access to gambling easier because it's online. And when we're comfortable with things, we can do repetitively and when someone does that, it only means that there's a tendency that anyone who does things excessively can become addicted to it. That is why it makes sense that online gambling can really lead to more gambling addiction of a person. Many don't see it to them but it did happen to the others. Btw, it depends to the gambler whether they'll classify themselves as addicted or not but the signs can be seen.

It is just statistics i think. The same percent in online and offline casino, but online gambling more accessible and more people are in it. As the result we more often hear stories about gambling addicts. If we calculate gambling addicts one by one - in online casino we will count more addicts. But if we compare percent of gambling addicts in online and offline casinos - i think it would would be the same.

I believe it's ease of access that is the concern here, Physical casinos demand presence to utilize it, although people are still addicted to it, but there's a reduction in it's abuse especially for busy people (let's say workers who are at office environments the major time of the day).

Unlike online banking which proximity isn't a barrier and you can gamble anytime, anywhere, anyday which makes it much easier to abuse it. It has also led to reduced output at places of work since indiscipline makes some people prioritize gambling in working hours.

I think I'm positive on it that online gambling leads to more addiction, especially among people low on discipline.

Online gamblers are always prone to addiction because they gamble alone. In a typical offline casino, if you spend too much time there, other gamblers will begin to mock you, and such gambler will begin to limit how frequently he goes to the casino in order to avoid those conversations. However, in an online casino, no one will come to save you until you show signs of addiction, at which point a lot of harm has already been done.

I remember when I was a child and less than 18 years old, many people forbade me to enter places where there were often gambling activities such as card games, slots, lotteries and even cockfighting, it happened, because basically those who gambled traditionally often did not want to see teenagers and children see and do gambling activities, because although they were gamblers, they still had morals in preventing gambling activities from being carried out by people who were under the age of 18, while online gambling makes it easy for everyone to access it as long as they have an internet network, including at work, school, in their room or neighbourhood, especially with the anonymity and aggressive promotions that of course provide encouragement for everyone to continue gambling and ultimately increase addiction happen.

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.

It's true that online casino gives gamblers the advantage of comfort and easy accessibility but speaking of anonymity, there are no many online casino that has that anonymity features. Many of the online  casinos you see out there are fully regulated.

I also think that with the increasing ease of access to gambling platforms, it will not actually increase gambling addiction, because it comes back to gamblers how they can manage their gambling habits. Because if the person really can't control themselves, then whether it's online or offline gambling, they will easily become addicted to gambling. The point is, never blame online gambling for making it easier for people to gamble, but blame the gamblers who play and become addicted because of it.

Well what you said is also true, it is true that in the end the problem of addiction really depends on the gambler themselves on how they treat the gambling activity itself regardless of the problem of easy or difficult accessibility, you have said the right reason that even though for example a gambler is involved in a type of physical casino where accessibility is quite difficult but if for example they have the wrong approach then surely they will also be very easy to get addicted, so it can be said that the problem of addiction does not depend on where you gamble but rather depends on how you treat the gambling activity.

Yea yea, buddy you're right, gambling addiction start when a gamblers decide to go against the rules which always being at it all the time or making everyday and Everytime routine.

Yes, it may be that a gaming routine can lead to addiction, but to be honest, addiction is not the fault of the player, addiction is the fault of the player.

The player is the only one who takes the risks , he is the one who assumes all the risks, the player does not force anyone to play, much less tell Them how much they have to bet, the game in any case has some basic rules, such as a minimum game Requirement and the rest is up to the player, so yes, the player is not guilty of the addiction, the guilty one of the addiction is the person who plays.

Addiction in gambling is as a result of our personal behavior and irresponsible gambling kind of lifestyle, when we are addicted, we hardly know except being told, online gambling is not what lead to addiction, our personal relationship to how we do relate to every steps taken in gambling is what determines the kind of gambler which we belong and whether we are addicted or not, we may try to know more by checking on our self-control.

Yeah online gambling is not the only cause of gambling addiction even physical casino can lead to gambling addiction, but one thing I know for sure is that online gambling do fuel gambling addiction because with it is easy to book game with any stress making it more easier compared to physical casino.

Just like they say anything with advantages also have disadvantages.

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.

This reminds me of what happened about 2weeks ago, the fact that I had total access to my online gambling platform, could you believe I created 10 gambling tickets on sports betting in just a few minutes? That's crazy. If not for online gambling, it might not be as easy to do it that fast, and also convenient for me to even have access doing it. So we can't neglect the higher tendency of online addiction caused by this top-notch platform technology and accessibility.

Yeah, in outside community where locals can use their valuable goods as form of their bets something they can do just to continue playing, those are types of addiction which can't be done online, though like what you said you can be addicted whatever platforms are you using if you don't possess good control of your emotions.

It's something that really helps you to prevent getting too deep with gambling, having right mindset even you are playing online or offline as long as you have that control you'll be safe to limit your time and your money.

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.

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.

That comfort and accessibility when abused turns pit detrimental to the gambler and obviously his pocket. The only time the gambler gets advantage is with the fact that they get to gamble at anytime in almost anywhere,  but uncontrolled usage of this advantage can actually lead to addiction in some cases especially when it's abused,  so yes we can say it can lead to addiction especially when abused.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Online gambling, physical gambling in a casino and sports betting for me do not represent a direct path to addiction, no, on the contrary, it is a way of looking for money by risking money, but not as an income, the casino in general is not responsible for people's addictions, casinos do not encourage addiction, much less online games or online casinos, I think that sometimes people who have had bad times and have bad experiences in casinos generalize this, and say that online casinos lead to addiction, this is not the case, the only ones that lead to addiction is the same player who cannot control himself.

May be it is so, but i don`t sure. There is a family, friends, who know about your hobby and problems(if you have it). Anyway i don`t think that it will seriously change statistics. And one more time. The percent of gambling addicts is small enough, i find that it between 1 and 5 percent. (I googled it fast, so may be it is not so small). If after a job i spend few bucks in the casino it would be better if i`ll drink for example.
