Does online gambling lead to more addiction?

[xenomorfo]

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!

[junder]

Hahaha your experience is exciting

But hey I also have that experience but I am lucky that the sound was heard at the beginning of the slot games. I immediately turn the sound off on my phone so other people will not hear anything. But some of them already saw me and smiled at me as they knew what I was playing

That is an embarrassing moment for me but I directly to leave that place before I start to playing the slot games. I don't want they to see me playing slot games and think much about me

Well, it's true, you experienced it yourself haha.

That's right, what I felt was shame because in my country gambling is prohibited and it is also against religion, so when that happened, those who heard it immediately looked at me and smiled, but because it was like a normal or common thing, they understood what I was doing, even though the shame was still there.

The freedom given by parents to children has exceeded the limits in this era, they only try to meet all the needs of children without realising that the real responsibility of parents is to supervise, foster and also shape the character of children to be better in the future, with the advancement of technology and the internet today, It is undeniable that it is getting easier for children to be directly involved in gambling, maybe they will even play in front of their parents because of parents ignorance of what games they are playing, to be honest with the conditions and mentality of adolescents who are currently starting to be uncontrollable and also have freedom without any restrictions, of course we can imagine how bad this world will be in the future when they grow up  .

Indeed, the advancement of technology today is very clear and we feel the positive side that does help us make many things easier to do, but even so there is a negative side that can happen and yes this makes it easier for many people to access online gambling. Including those who are in high school and above who definitely already have their own gadgets and their own social circles, clearly this can make them familiar with and maybe even do online gambling.

In addition, some parents do not know about online gambling games so this gives their children the opportunity to gamble, free association will determine what kind of association they get, but what is clear is that parents definitely want the best for their children.

Addiction or not actually depends on one's own perspective if the goal is to seek profit then the possibility of addiction is something that will definitely happen, whether it's online gambling or laryng, all of it is just that addiction is something that can happen. With online gambling which is currently quite popular also opens up opportunities for an increase in the number of people who are addicted, I'm sure not a few people who do online gambling experience gambling addiction.

Many people today work using the internet and so do other groups who are already familiar with the internet must use social media where there are many gambling advertisements that pass on their homepage, this makes them interested in gambling. And if they don't have self-control then addiction is something that is certain to happen.

Exactly consistent indulgence of such acts usually lead to an addiction of whatsoever and when it does it's sure hard to control it.gambling on its own is a high addictive entertainment and mostly involving oneself needs alot of self control and responsible acts cause in as much as you can control your habits to gambling, then you can take charge over addiction. Sometimes I wonder why people get addicted in the process of gambling but I came to understand that they fail to have self control over their gambling habits which has led to the addiction.

Just like you rightly said, gambling is very addictive and those who have not mastered self control always find it hard to avoid excessive gambling which is the easiest route to gambling addiction, this is because it is believed that the more often one gambles or spends more time on gambling, the more likely they are to get addicted. Additionally, another common reason why people easily get addicted to gambling is due to the fact that they often have these huge misconceptions about gambling, which is that gambling should originally be for profitability rather than prioritizing the fun and thrill, this causes a major influence on the gambler’s attitude towards gambling.

Very highly addictive and if you arent that good when it comes to self control and discipline with your funds then you will be that definitely getting addicted in a short period of time. It will really be that causing up that kind of devastation when it comes into the finances you do have. This is why its really that important that you do really know at least on what are the things that you should gonna do when dealing up with gambling in the first place. Addiction is one of the causes on why gambling industry is really that profitable due to into those gamblers who do keeps on coming back because of such approach on which they had been that aiming on making money on which instead on trying out to have some fun, they do rather go to the opposite approach on which we know that this isnt that recommended. Online gambling had become that relevant nowadays or getting that even more demand. We cant be able to deny that when it comes to comfort and accessibility then this what makes having that kind of spike of interest on where gamblers do play, but somehow there are still who do stay up with those physical casinos on which this could always be depending on someones preference.On the moment that you do that you will really be touching up gambling then always be mindful about the probabilities that you can be addicted with it if you wont really be that careful. This is why its really that recommended that you do really know at least on what you are dealing and on what you are doing with it. Just always stick with the main idea that you should really be that playing for the sake of fun and for the sake of entertainment so that you wont be finding yourself to be that impulsive.

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 think so too because whether or not someone is addicted depends on how they can control themselves, online gambling is indeed more and easier to access so some people assume that online gambling causes more addiction even though not all people who gamble online are addicted to gambling and vice versa, physical casinos have many people who go there and on average those who go there are addicts, so actually online and physical gambling both cause gambling addiction if they cannot be responsible in handling it.

If you ask me, I’d say indeed, online casinos can actually be more addictive than the physical casinos, but this isn’t applicable to everyone. Whether physical or online casino, a gambler can only get addicted when he has already had a wrong perspective of gambling and then approach gambling with this perspective. A gambler’s attitude towards gambling is always influenced by his perspective of gambling and no really which form of gambling he decides to use. When/if a gambler approaches gambling with the right approach and mindset, whether he uses the online or physical casino, he’ll always play safe.

Yes online gambling always lead to more gambling addiction because most time you will gambling at the comfort of your home and this will also make such gamblers to loss more money while gambling online and what online gambling does is that the more you keep losing the more you keep on funding your betting wallet and gamble more even when it is raining that you couldn't go out to gamble but with one who has an online gambling site will only login to his account and start gambling so I believe online gambling leads to more gambling addiction.

It is always important we try to gamble with the amount we won't be needing at the moment since winning through gambling is not certain.

Well, that's why after the pandemic, the number of gamblers soared. These only gambling casinos became popular especially for those gamblers who can't afford to go out and go to a physical casino and gamble.

Aside from that, the fact that you can access it as long as you have an internet connection, and a smartphone makes it easier for a person to get addicted into gambling because you have an easy access into it. Another one is that, whenever you go to different social media platforms, you will see these gambling advertisements here and there, and that makes you curious hence, trying to visit the website and that's the start of it already.

There's nothing wrong with gambling whether it's physical or online as long as you know when to stop, and when to gamble. Also, knowing how much we can afford to lose on gambling will be a good thing as well so that you will not get affected negatively once you lost all of those money.

[Outhue]

I think it does. One of the things that greatly contributes to gambling addiction is spending excessive time on gambling and easy accessibility to gambling, when someone who has not mastered the act of self control can access gambling whenever he wants, he tends to spend more time gambling, thereby increasing their chances of addiction. So yes, online gambling can increase a person’s chances of addiction since it provides easy access to gambling.

Everything good comes with their own disadvantages, spending excessive time on a casino contributes to quicker addiction but at the same time online gambling has the advantage of securing wins faster too, you can decide to end a bet while the game is still on if you believe that it won't end well and still walk away with some money in profit, you can't do such with offline bets, you have to wait till the match ends.

Also, I believe that gamblers spend a lot of time in located casinos too, the problem with gambling is the timing, either online or offline if you give too much of your time to gambling you will lose money, I remember a time where I don't spend more than 1 minute on a online casino, why? Because I got so lucky quickly, and so it end my gambling session of that day.

One thing about my own strategy is once I hit a luck I am leaving, either it is a second after I start to gamble or it is few minutes after, anyone can say what they want but this is what always work for me.

Due to the ease of online gambling, people become more and more addicted to online gambling. And here they will lose a lot of money but they will not want to stop, and when they keep losing money one after another, they keep betting more in the mindset of recovering the loss, which leads to more losses.
The effect of uncontrollability is the most in online casinos, they continue to play for a long time and continue to face losses but still they cannot stop.
That is why you have to be aware and responsible in gambling from the beginning, whenever you lose self-control while gambling, it will lead you to addiction, and you will face huge losses.

In my city there were slot machines everywhere about 20 years ago. I saw that there were gamblers near it, but i can`t say that someone had to wait his turn. Of course it was more primitive than today slot machines, but i think that we can compare situation with today. For few years i saw just few times gambling addicts. I don`t think that nowadays situation changes critically.

In my city, everything has changed a lot too, before I saw a lot of places where there were slot machines, but I never saw a queue anywhere. Later, there were fewer and fewer of them, and now I don’t see them at all, now everything is occupied by pawnshops and pharmacies. It seems that the casinos have completely moved online, except that some large casinos remain, but I didn’t know about their existence. Only now I decided to search the Internet and saw that in the center of my city there is one offline casino.

I even don`t remember the moment when it disappeared. But i`m too far from casino games and not interested in offline casinos. For sport betting i see lots of offline bookies right now. Sometimes i visit it, not to bet but just to compare with online casino and to understand if it would be more interesting for me to bet in such place. Mostly there are several gamblers there, but i don`t see someone, who looks like gambling addict.

You are actually right there is nothing wrong gambling if only you know your limit, know when to stop and when to gamble as you said and also been able to gamble with the amount of money one can afford to loss since winning in gambling is never certain.

Online gambling has made somany persons not to go out physically to gamble, most persons now feel uncomfortable going out to gamble most persons is due to what people will say they now stays in their various home and gamble online at the comfort of their want , most persons has made gambling as a source of income which is very bad because you will definitely be gambling with the amount you can't afford to loss because you want to make quick Money.

More gambling site is still opening due to how people are willing to gamble.

From the other hand, having chance to go online from various gadgets while chilling at home does not mean that a person will be gambling. It is like having a satellite TV with hundreds of channels but watching only one A person will gamble more frequently, no doubt of that, but he will be addicted to other online services also. Give that person access to netflix and he will forget about online gambling next day when he opens list of popular tv series I might say that a person will have a light form of gambling addiction, he will gamble more often, but it will be short gaming sessions.

The convenience that we get in online gambling of course makes the chances of addiction that occur even greater today, although it is undeniable that the addiction depends on the self-control that we do, but when we continue to spend time in gambling, I think that gradually the desire to continue gambling will fill our minds, online gambling has many factors that can increase the risk of addiction happening to us,  In addition, the ease of accessibility will make a person feel comfortable playing at home, so in the end it will keep them away from social interaction with family, friends and the environment and I think it will be very dangerous.

For high-end physical gambling I think they usually get silence or tranquility in doing it but for low-end physical casino bets usually the noise of the crowd is not a problem I myself have never been to a low or high-end physical casino, it's just that seeing from the many social media, there are indeed differences between classes in physical casinos.
Online gambling in my opinion is more convenient because I can do it anywhere I want, as long as there is money in the account and a cellphone and an internet connection, that's enough to access online gambling. The number of people currently doing online gambling in my opinion is because the access is easy and they don't have to go far to gamble, but for those who like physical casinos they will still go to the casino to bet.

If we would have more offline casinos everywhere in town, or have a slot machine in every shop, meaning that you will have access to gambling everywhere also, do you think you would gamble less or more online? If we take online features as easy to access, available everywhere, and use them to offline casinos. What would be your opinion then? Does convenient=addiction or they have a real connection? For instance I have mobile always close to me, I can call or chat with anyone from my phonebook, but I dont do that.

It depends on the person's interests, right? For someone who doesn't like crowds, they will choose to gamble online by doing it themselves in the place they want, I am one of those people, even though it might seem more exciting to gamble physically because there is an atmosphere that can be felt, but not everyone likes it, so some people settle for online-based gambling. Using the online casino feature at an offline casino, in my opinion, is possible and maybe comfortable too, but are there people like that? There may be people out there because as I said, everyone's interests are different. Popular online casinos allow many people to do it, especially for those who like to gamble at physical casinos, it is an advantage because when they want to gamble but are lazy to move they can do it at an online casino. The number of people currently gambling online and that is enough to prove that in my opinion, addicted gamblers are increasing.

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.

It is not said, it depends on how much you like the adrenaline of the game compared to relaxing by watching a movie. They are two totally different situations and that have totally different contexts.
You can't do this comparison, if i want to relax when a movie if i want to adrenaline play.
Like those who make parachuting or other extreme sports.

It depends on how people approach especially towards their expectation on gambling. Since if they are just there chasing huge wins or any other goals on gambling then provably that they might fall unto that unwanted condition.

Convenience is just another factor but not totally make everyone goes unto that situation since we see a lot of people dealing online gambling in nice way. Its people attitude on how they could able to take their vices since if they have less knowledge and have greedy thoughts because they think gambling is so easy for them to earn a lot of money then provably that those wrong thoughts on their mind will put them in huge danger.
