Does online gambling lead to more addiction?

[Raflesia]

The same time, some other notification will remember you about some free spins, or event, you wanted to bet even when you are far from gambling.
I don`t see any problem with online gambling but not because social media can distract you from it.

If you are used to gambling, it will be difficult to avoid gambling, they will feel attracted and attracted again to gambling, especially for those who are addicted, they will feel called to gamble, whether it's when they get a notification or see friends around them gambling, well this is related to online gambling, which is when they get it they can do it easily because of this online-based gambling.

This online gambling makes it easier for many people who are interested in gambling, this is not a problem, it's just that the problem is excessive behavior in doing it. This is what needs to be fixed.

If i see lots of alcoholic around it increases my chances to become an alcoholic to. But:  a) no one makes me to become an alcoholic; b) no one cries to reject alcohol.
Easy access increase the quantity of gambling addicts, but the percent looks to be the same. If gambler has problems with gambling - it is his problem. Programmers develop new services that help millions people to get access to games, to relax, but we try to stop it due to several addicts.

By looking at this condition, it is important for us to return to ourselves in this case, especially for the suppression process so that it is not too easy to gamble even though it is quite tempting to do.

Gambling is sometimes considered by some people as one of the things that must be done, but that does not mean that it must be done all the time because the more intense our gambling increases, the more difficult it is for us to be influenced by addiction, to suppress this, it is important for us to be able to maintain ourselves so that we gamble reasonably without having to do it all the time so that we are still comfortable with the gambling that is done but on the one hand we can still control ourselves so that we do not get too involved directly in the gambling that is done. As you said when we gather with many addicts, we can get carried away in that, but of course control is in our own hands so that we have to determine the attitude where we have to take a position.

I think gambling in general leads to addiction but online gambling is making this process way faster because of how easy it is and comfortable it is to actually place bets as long as you have a device with internet connection because back in the days , people had to go miles to reach a casino and start gambling. So from this point of view , we can say for sure that online gambling speeds the addiction effects.

Yes the difference is only in terms of "speeding up" but it does not mean that it guarantees that when someone is involved in an online casino then they will definitely be addicted, I don't think so because basically addiction will always be a possibility in gambling regardless of what type of casino you choose, that means gamblers who are involved in this type of online casino still have the possibility to survive addiction, rationally in my opinion online casinos do only speed up the process of leading someone to addiction (because of the ease of accessibility) but when these gamblers know and understand about what and how gambling really is then I think they should not end up addicted regardless of what type of casino they gamble at, I'm not saying addiction is a choice.

On what grounds do you conclude that gambling is currently attracting children? I am in contact with a lot of people and I have never heard any of them say that their child has a gambling problem. There are problems with some children being addicted to donating to various computer games, some are seen using vapes, but no one has ever told me that any of their children are addicted to sports betting, dice or slots.

Maybe those children don't tell to their parents that they are involve in gambling because no children will do that

Even adults people will not tell to other people who don't close to them that they are attracted to gambling and involve inside gambling. They will have their way to hide their gambling activity from other people so they will not get any bad saying from adult people especially their parents.

But we know that gambling can lead to addicted to gambling if we can not treat gambling as an entertainment and a way to have fun. We already seen that happen to some people around us so we must be careful when playing gambling in offline or online casinos.

I agree with you, nowadays children are introduced to online gambling through such attractive advertisements. Due to the ease of gambling, children can easily access these casinos. And children are easily attracted to online casinos, and become addicted. Therefore, if parents are giving a device to their children, the parents should limit there children's internet usage. And keep an eye on every activity of internet usage. Overall, All parents must be extremely aware and it is important to monitor the online activities of their children.

They can see the attractive advertisement about gambling but they don't think that is a gambling. They just attract to follow the advertisements and clicking the link on that thing and visit the casino. If there are no understanding from the children how to use their devices properly, they will attract to gambling without they realize and if no one will know what they do, they can get addicted to gambling. Parents must control their children using their devices and always remind them about the danger of using the internet without control. Yes, parents must always monitor the online activities of their children so their children can use internet with right.

I`m in gambling. Except few months, when i was in the game 24 hours per day - i play when i want. Few times per week, or once per month. Sometimes i bet only when my team play. No any addiction. Around me i see lots of mates who play like me. And i don`t see around any gambling addict. Online gambling makes it really comfortable - i can make a bet during the match sitting near TV. And i don`t understand why i have to lose such opportunities because here is some addict somewhere.

Awareness of your action should really be the key because if you do really know on what you are doing and on the things you've been dealing with, then its unlikely that you would be experiencing up some issues or problems. There are really those times or moments that you might be that fascinated on which considering that gambling could really be able to give out that kind of opportunity for you to make easy money but always bare in mind that you could also be that easily losing up that money on which of course it will really be that recommended that you should make use of your own sense into the probabilities on which it could lead up into disaster. This is why self limitation and discipline would really be necessary when dealing up with gambling because usually gamblers do really mess up their lives because of the wrong decisions or simply with the wrong approach towards gambling.

If children who understand the issue of money, especially those who can transact money, see such advertisements or links and click on those links and enter those casino sites, then I think this will be one of the reasons for their addiction. There are many children who do not understand the need for money, so they are less likely to get addicted quickly.

Parents must have proper knowledge about their children. Otherwise, they can get off the track at any time. Since it is not difficult to access online casinos, a child can get addicted quickly, which is not unusual. If parents take enough care of their children, then it will not be difficult to recover from those situations.

Yeah, that is right because they think that they can do many things with that money so they will not think how their parents give the money. They don't understand about the need for money and how they can use their money with right but if their parents explain about that, they will not spend their money or waste in gambling. That is why parents must know how to give understanding to their children so they will not do something with their money that can lead them get a problem. The key is how parents can give their children attention and not just give the money without trying to close to them.

[Nothingtodo]

Of course it does. More especially for those people that doesn't have self control in gambling, they would going to see it as a way of getting quick money without noing that the more you chase after losses in gambling that is how you are getting more addicted to gambling. But when you gamble responsibly despite playing online you wouldn't get addicted to gambling.

This is not just in the case of gambling, but in all aspects of life, if you cannot exercise self-control, you will find yourself addicted to any bad thing in life. An addicted person thinks that it is possible to earn a lot of money from gambling in a very short time with little effort. This is a misconception and he loses all ability to control himself due to this misconception. This is how a normal person gradually becomes abnormal by becoming addicted to gambling and becomes an addicted gambler.

[Julien_Olynpic]

I would formulate the question differently. Do online games make it easier to develop an addiction? Does gambling addiction develop faster in the case of online games? I would answer this question positively. If we are talking about regular physical casinos, then one way or another, it is a much more expensive pleasure and requires much more time. You need to dress appropriately, get to the casino, that is, spend a lot of time. It also takes time to get from the casino. At first glance, it seems like a small amount of time, but for everyday games, online is more suitable. In the online format, you can use a laptop without getting out of bed.

Actually in this case I still think that gambling addiction is not only about spending the money we have but when we spend time because of gambling to forget time because it is too focused on gambling (doing gambling intensely) regardless of whether we lose and win it is included in the form of addiction because we forget everything because we gamble too often.

Even though the chances of us winning (for example) but when too much time is spent on gambling whether it's online or land-based it for me is a form of addiction. Although maybe many people will consciously not consider this as a form of addiction especially when they win but when gambling to forget time that for me is a form of addiction from gambling.

By looking at this condition, it is important for us to return to ourselves in this case, especially for the suppression process so that it is not too easy to gamble even though it is quite tempting to do.

This is why self limitation and discipline would really be necessary when dealing up with gambling because usually gamblers do really mess up their lives because of the wrong decisions or simply with the wrong approach towards gambling.

This is also a thing that I think is wrong because after all, gambling does not have to be based on getting easy money because if it is income that is ultimately sought then gambling is not a solution so the thought that is actually always created by most gamblers is for me a mistake considering that gambling is not a place to make money even though there are benefits that we might get from winning but it can only be used as a bonus for us in gambling considering that not all games in gambling that we play will always benefit.

It's just that there are still a lot of people who always make gambling a means for them to earn money or get income to support their daily lives which when this is focused on and does not match expectations then they will continue to gamble which actually makes them more destroyed.

[Dewi Aries]

Honestly, I can't rationally say or even be sure that online casinos cause more people to become addicted because I think the problem of addiction depends on the gambler themselves, meaning it comes back to them whether they understand gambling correctly from the start or not, or it can also be said that the problem of addiction will always be possible to happen to someone regardless of where they play.

But on the other hand, I also understand that the advantage of online casinos in terms of very easy accessibility is also a factor, but in my opinion this advantage only makes it easier for a gambler to realize their gambling desires and does not mean that they will definitely become addicted, so the conclusion is that whatever type of casino you choose, the problem of addiction is still something that is very possible to happen to anyone, depending on their understanding and how they treat the activity.

[Odogwu-Blockchain]

I got more into gambling when I started registering account online, it was easy for me to book, predict and place bets at any time even at midnight to the point I no longer have a good sleep even when all the matches to be booked has kicked start, I'll diverse attention to playing virtual sports online. It was really draining the fuck out of me and I got addicted to it more than offline.

I could only go to offline shop once a day to get a ticket, and most times, I don't usually spend much time in the shop, once my tickets is booked and staked, I'll leave immediately, so it was not really addicting, it was just cool and easy on me.

[DiMarxist]

The digital system of online gambling can't make the offline gambling of analog system fade away but the two are going Pari-passu. In the sense that offline analog and digital gambling system have their similarities of making a gambler to be addicted. But in the present days the easiest way to be addicted is the online gambling system because as you said everyone gambler can assess the casino in whenever place they are if there is network.

NO excuse for addiction, either offline or online, you still have yourself to control over it, most people preferred online because its easy to access from any where you are. And is the easiest way to cashout, you don't have to quarrel with the agent every time for your cashout. You just withdraw at will and deposit at will too.

Going to bet shop to bet is time consuming you might get there and meet more people that want to bet and you have to hold, in the process of waiting, you might be discouraged or you will be influenced to change your bet when you see others options. Its crazy out there. none should lead you to be come more addicted in gambling play and stake your spare cash.

[Ndabagi01]

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.

Every gambling activity can lead to more addiction depending on the way you often gamble on them. Before the introduction of online gambling, bet shops are in existence and that did not stop us from seeing gamblers that are addicted at that time, so I see no reason why we should think the nature of gambling now brings about more addiction than the old method of gambling, going to bet shops and casinos to play a game.

Controlling your gambling habit is important whether online or offline, once you an addict, nothing can stop you from going to where suits your mind and gives you comfort. Even when people see it as a very difficult task to achieve, you’ll see it as something simple you will do without been stressed. Controlling oneself over gambling is important as it helps manage once finances well and make right decisions with one’s finances.

Exactly. Without self-control nothing can change the gambler to restrict himself from addiction. Self discipline is the key to over gambling addiction. Whatever area the gambler found himself he can be addicted so the major thing here is self-control. And everyone has their favorite mode of gambling. Some people like to gamble online while some like to play offline. Till now offline casinos halls are still full with gamblers.
And since offline casinos halls are still full with gamblers, people are still addicted to gambling with the analog system.

[Cookdata]

Of course it does. More especially for those people that doesn't have self control in gambling, they would going to see it as a way of getting quick money without noing that the more you chase after losses in gambling that is how you are getting more addicted to gambling.

This is a misconception and he loses all ability to control himself due to this misconception. This is how a normal person gradually becomes abnormal by becoming addicted to gambling and becomes an addicted gambler.

I'm not sure about what kind of magnetism other aspect of life can make you have an addiction but you see gambling addiction, thw way it makes people addicted is another level of addiction that you don't see in common day to day activity because the things you don't expect people to do in gambling, they do it and question yourself why all this as if they don't have another life, you can only relate if you are a fellow gambler like them, gambling addiction is another level of addiction.

Have you seen someone that doesn't do anything in life other than gambling and hasn't win anything tangible in their life? There is one guy that doesn't owned the gambling shop but he will be the first person to be at the shop just waiting for the shop owner to show up so they can bet and funny thing is he will waste all the money he has on him and start begging people that comes later to bet for some money to try his luck again and he will be there till night and win nothing, he is seriously addicted but don't have means to withdraw because it's not that easy to help an addicted gambler.

I`m in gambling. Except few months, when i was in the game 24 hours per day - i play when i want. Few times per week, or once per month. Sometimes i bet only when my team play. No any addiction. Around me i see lots of mates who play like me. And i don`t see around any gambling addict. Online gambling makes it really comfortable - i can make a bet during the match sitting near TV.

May be it depends on the gambler. I`m not a gambling man. I had an idea to get stable profit from gambling. I tried it, proved it, calculated various ways of income and stopped. Today i spend maximum few hours per week for gambling. Mostly less than an hour. And it is difficult for me to understand how it is possible to become a gambling addict.

[Furious 7]

Good behavior in gambling, betting when your team is playing is good because of course there will be no bets that are made too often, besides that sometimes even though your team is playing you have no interest in betting. By betting in a week for example only with a maximum of three times that is a good thing, especially if it is only done for a period of one month, wow that is a behavior that I think can be said not to be an addiction, especially if there is a set fund limit for each bet.

The number of people who experience addiction is actually not based on the type of online or offline gambling but this is more about the views and perceptions of each with their gambling, I am sure people who have the wrong view of gambling will experience addiction whether it is online or offline.

Self control is necessary but we do really know that not all will be having this kind of control on which instead they would really be that tolerating into the things that comes up into their mind on which had been mainly been affected by their emotions. Addiction is the main problem on why people do mess up their lives because they cant be able to think up well on managing their finances on which it supposedly to be used into far more important things rather than on gambling. Gambling isnt bad as long you do make yourself that being sensible into the actions that you are taking and not would really be that being insensitive into the conditions or situations that you are facing into. There are those times or moments that you might that being getting pissed on whats happening because of continous losing then you should be that avoiding on tolerating out such feeling because this will really be leading up into that further actions on which could worsen up the condition. Better be that always be mindful about into your actions on which you are just that playing gambling for the sake of fun and entertainment.
