Does online gambling lead to more addiction?

[junder]

Yes, they are very addictive with their phone and make them difficult to leave their phone for a while. That makes them see gambling ads from the internet and many people become addicted to gambling. They will playing gambling when they see the gambling ads because they think that is exciting to see the big win like that. Young generation will not think what is the bad effect if they playing gambling for a long time and not take a rest for many times. They also difficult to accept the reality if they become addicted to gambling.

Well that is the true thing that happens, currently most people tend not to be able to leave their cellphones, it even makes sense to say that it is an addiction to cellphones, I admit it myself.
Everyone currently tends to spend their daily time together with cellphones and the internet, even now in every family there must be someone who is very close to a cellphone, this cannot be denied because it has become a reality for most people. This certainly makes it easier for them to see the many gambling advertisements that are spread.

when teenagers are addicted to gambling, the thing they probably think about is just finding a way to be able to get a sure win to fulfill their desires.

It depends among us if how we will use the benefits, as you mentioned it ease the access but there's negative side of it especially when you are involve into something that if you failed to control your emotions you'll messed up with your finances, you have to understand that things going to work out if you know how to balance and how you managed your emotional control.

You are right, everything has its own risks and our own way is the determinant, now if we use our phones excessively, for example, by staring at them without doing other activities, it can affect our health, I myself have experienced it where I use my phone and computer too often and excessively to the point that my eyes have to wear glasses because my vision is blurry.

Therefore, balancing everything is something that needs to be considered.

Yeah, it is difficult to leave their cellphones even if that is just for hour because they are very addictive and consider that the cellphones is part of their lives and they must have it everywhere they go. And when they use many application such as gambling application or visiting the casino using the browser in their cellphones, no one will know and they can playing gambling secretly. That will dangerous for them because they can become addicted to gambling anytime and they can lose their money short time. This will makes them difficult to leave their cellphones for a while because they will return to the casino anytime they want.

Any form of gambling can lead to addiction. People who gamble in gambling centers stake their car and other valuable items that are worth a lot of money. Both forms of gambling are addictive, this is why you must always learn to be disciplined. It doesn't matter the type of gambling you are involved in, if you don't have self control you might become addicted to it. Although it's reasonable to say that people tend to get addicted to online gambling more because of how easy it is to access but in my opinion I think both types of gambling can lead to addiction, it all depends on the individual.

Sure but the online betting is more addictive because you can access gambling sites anytime, anywhere with your phone and other devices but in the physical gambling shops, you don't Gamble everytime because before you will stake a bet will require you to go to their office and sometimes if you are busy with something maybe at your workplace it will not be easy for you since you can't leave your work just to play gamble.

You have a good point and I wonder why people are still including physical casinos here, it's no comparison with online casinos if the context is on addiction. That easy accessibility to the online casino can't be taken for levity, anything you have unwavering access to could be the worst devil in your life if you are not careful.

And to buttress your point, I've not visited a physical casino for almost a year now, I keep procrastinating using one excuse or another.

Same here I have not visited a physical casino before, besides I don't even have any idea on how it works, which is why I don't always pay attention whenever I see people talking about it.but with the experience I have I think the one we are doing online leads to more addiction than the one we do offline. Because if you're an offline gambler you know sometimes distance can be a barrier, in some cases you may not have the strength to work done to the bet shop. Due to the distance you can decide to forget about it for the main time.

and sometimes you can decide not to go to the gambling shop for couple of Days so that people will not see you as someone who always come there regularly, Why those online gamblers can not be affected by any of this things. because no one knows if they're gambling or not, and distance can not be a barrier for them. because they have their cellphone with them, So is obvious that online gambling leads to more addition than offline gambling.

Chances are that that's because you are still young, or not too old. I think that the oldest population who is used to go to physical casinos will continue to do so even when offered more comfortable options, until they can't and they have no other choice.

Back on topic, I don't know the official data but I guess that online gambling has lead to an increased number of users thanks to its better availability, which can but doesn't necessarily mean more addiction (maybe those who get addicted are the same who were willing to get to the physical casino in the past). On the other hand, it is true that online gambling has better availability, but it lacks some components present in physical casinos that may be important in order to develop an addiction, like the particular smell, the presence and sounds from other players, the relationship with the staff... a series of details that make the ritual of playing more complete and are not possible online.

Yes and I also have personal reasons here when the context is about addiction which basically I think it cannot be connected with where you gamble, I mean regardless of whether you gamble in an online casino with the advantage of accessibility or in a physical casino which is rather difficult to access basically for the problem of addiction it depends on how you treat the gambling activity, I mean logically even if there are no online casinos in this world there will always be gamblers who are addicted to physical casinos, or it can also be said that you will try as much as possible to keep gambling even though access is difficult when from the start you misunderstand gambling and of course that can lead you to addiction.

So I think addiction is something other than the problem of where you gamble and for the convenience of online casinos it only makes it easier for gamblers to realize their desire to gamble but does not mean it will make them addicted.

Both online gambling and offline gambling have unique advantages that attract users to both types of gambling. There is a growing trend of being attracted to online gambling, especially among the younger generation, who are increasingly participating in online gambling. However, the advantages of offline gambling are not available in online gambling. Especially the advantages of having some different fun are available in offline casinos but not in online casinos. Offline casinos have the facilities of dream girls, drinks, etc. but online gambling does not have all these facilities. So for now, if we compare the two gambling areas, there is definitely no problem because the younger generation is more attracted to online gambling.

[Mpamaegbu]

Online gambling has made more addicts than offline gambling.

Well, the part of online gambling making more gambling addicts than offline gambling can be a subject of debate. Except there are data and statistics to look at, we may not categorically say it has and win the debate. However, we can win the debate if we say online gambling has increased the number of gamblers or gambling habit. That's not the same as having addicts.

...which many can link to the COVID-19 spread that restricted people from leaving their homes, physical casinos and betting shops had also been producing gambling addicts.

How we even came out of that ignominious and malicious era of propaganda still baffles me till date. It was really some scary shit moment for the world. Whatever happened then ought to be reviewed and revealed so that the master heads behind such evil are exposed.

The existence of online gambling makes it easy to access it, one of which is that they can do it secretly without being known by others. For example, with high school students or those who are in college, they can do it by hiding it from their parents who may forbid them from approaching gambling. In addition, the use of the internet cannot be prevented because usually their learning process at school sometimes involves the internet and this happens in my country.

This is only about the awareness of each individual who is like how to use the internet that is currently developing, if indeed they cannot limit themselves in using the internet, maybe knowing or even experiencing addiction will happen, after all, now young people are smart in using the internet.

Adult people around them will not check it many times and when they see those students playing the online games, they will leave it and will not check it anymore.

If those students realize that gambling can make their life ruin, they will not try to playing gambling instead just to use their time to do many positive things that will help them to gain the positive things for their life.

Of course online gambling leads to more addition than that of the offline, reason been that you're just doing it freely without being inconvenience by anyone. An online gambler can actually gamble anywhere he find him /her self even if you're in the office as long as you have your smart phone with you. So whatever thing you're doing secretly without anyone knowing about it lead to more addition, and is also dangerous than the one you're doing physical.

The ease of access, privacy is maintained, can play where and when of course are the advantages possessed by online casinos today, so with the many features and bonuses they offer, it has attracted many people to gamble today, what we don't get in offline casinos we can get in online casinos so that indeed many offline casino gamblers have begun to shift their activities to online casinos today, although maybe the excitement and sensation we get in the game is not better than what we get in offline casinos, but at least we can get pleasure in gambling with the convenience that exists so far, I think the great attraction of online casinos is the main reason why currently gambling activities are increasing.

Hi all, this is a short discussion of the distinctions of online and physical casinos — and by extension online vs in-person gambling. Online casinos are incredibly convenient, you can play whenever and wherever you want, but studies have shown this easy access often backfires as it encourages more impulsive, riskier bets as you’re not as emotionally engaged with the money leaving your pocket. Online casinos, on the other hand, miss out on that immersive experience associated with flashy lights, sound, and the hard cash or chips in your hand which, as a matter of fact, helps you stay más aware of your spending.

In my personal view and experience, I am convinced that having a budget in place before you start playing makes much more difference. Trust me, establishing a limit allows for all the fun without the excitement getting out of hand. So whether the online, non-stop action is your style or the immersive ambiance of a brick-and-mortar casino, just keep this in mind: play responsibly and know your limits

I see that students hang out at someones place, make collective deposit online, and only one person gambles, while others tell him when to stop, bet, jump out, take another card and so on. In such situation, I think only one person might get really addicted, and the rest are only having fun. Even though all of them theoretically are online. But, I have never seen someone collectively playing slots offline.

But, I have never seen someone collectively playing slots offline.

Moreover, when a group decides to gamble together, Then emotions have a much greater impact. If he already loses a lot, then everyone else reassures him even more, and he continues to gamble emotionally even after losing a lot.
He may know that he has already lost a lot, and that he should stop now, but because of the false assurances of his friends, at some point he also thinks that he can win the next game. Thus, he gambles more and suffers more losses.
And because of their group gambling, only the person who is gambling with his own money ends up facing major losses, and end of the fun, her all friend will go.

[bakasabo]

In my example, people were making collective deposit and then split money if they end with profit. But in your example, when only one makes a deposit, but participate in making decision many, it is more dangerous imo, because if a bet loses, bettor can blame someone for that, think that his bet would have won, but due to listening someone, he has lost. And in this case of collective gambling online, addiction might happen faster, because such collective gambling is always more fun than if someone would have gambled alone. Plus it is not that sad to lose, means chance to return after loss is higher.

Your words mean, that more people get free access to the casino. But do you sure that the percent of the addicts will grow up? If it would be the same - follow your words we have to close offline casino to decrease gambling addicts quantity.
The same time we have to remember that the main part of the gamblers aren`t gambling addicts - lots of gamblers just relax after hard day. It would be better if they will return to alcohol?

It easily attracts people since the online influence are really wide online casino can quickly gave access to gambler, they can also offer bonuses and all those attracted offerings to hook the gambler attentions, just like what you said it's easy and without any set limitation and good control over your emotions you'll just push your way till you lose everything that you've got.

it's so sad to see how these teenagers casually play slots like there's no guilt in using their parents' money to gamble. i don't think their parents would expect their children to play slots.. if their parents knew i think they would be in big trouble. and that's why now it's no wonder that many teenagers play slots just like playing regular online games because of the influence of their environment and the absence of adults to control what they do.

Yeah, that's why it's crazy how online gambling platforms targeting those age because they're the most vulnerable one. Teenagers are always thinking about theirselves and ofc, they don't really care as long as they're happy, that's very not responsible. That will also lead to bad habits and goes to addiction in gambling. I wish there are more regulations regarding online gambling platform 'cause it makes everything easier to access and in that case, makes things worst for some people who lacks knowledge about it.
