Does online gambling lead to more addiction?

[Dewi Aries]

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.

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.

Honestly I really hope you can explain about how the idea you have to be able to generate steady profits from gambling, because this is a bit hard to believe and plus your involvement in gambling can be said to be quite rare (one hour a week) but maybe you have a way that is proven to be quite effective, my friend. On the other hand, talking about addiction, yes I quite agree with you in the sense that if for example a gambler has a fairly rare involvement in gambling like the approach you have, then the process of addiction should be quite difficult or it can be said that it is unlikely for a gambler to become addicted because usually addiction occurs when someone gambles without a time limit or excessively which approach will increase their interest in winning so that in the end they find it difficult to ignore even a little time without gambling, but of course this impossibility will only happen when you gamble quite rarely.

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.

~
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.

That`s what i`m talking about. More gamblers means more addicts. But the same situation when someone opens new offline casino. The percent of addicts is the same. And it is too small. If they have problems with gambling - they ought to avoid it. We mustn`t lose opportunities we get from online gambling due to someone`s problems.

Several posts before i told about it. I was in the game 24 hours per day for few months, day by day, bet by bet. I`ve got profit about $800 per month but it was really hard to combine it with main job.

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.

Even in the traditional offline casinos, some gamblers are still getting addicted and that's because they can not just control their selves. The online casino was developed for easy access to gamblers and not increase addiction, despite that online gambling allows anyone to gamble at their comfort, it's not a privilege to become addicted, people who are becoming addicted in online gambling can as well be addicted on the offline casino.

Online casinos clearly encourage players to play more often, I can imagine how often I could go to an offline casino and how I can go online whenever I want. In fact, not whenever I want, but whenever I have time for it, but I understand that it is easier for me to do this in the evening from my laptop or from my phone than to sit down and go to the casino.

So yes, I think that online casinos encourage players to play more often, and this can indirectly contribute to the fact that there will be more addicted players, because they will develop a habit of playing often.

As it is said in the comment section. Gambling addiction is not only online but also offline and all from the gambler's behavior towards gambling. If the mindset is to continue gambling and he definitely be addicted if he can't control himself. And people are addicted more in online because of the easy access at anytime and at everywhere. And those who are close to the offline casinos also like to visit the hall and play frequently and become addicted so it is not even really the play the gambler play games but his or her habit and respond to gambling.

offline gambling is not at one doors step it doesn't reduce the chances of one getting addicted. Gamblers don't get addicted because they have gambling platforms so close to them, what makes one to be addicted in gambling what you think about gambling.  If you think you get money from gambling easily,  no matter how far the offline gambling may be a gambler will still locate it and play to his satisfaction.  The interest and attention a gambler can give to an online gambling is the same that can be to offline gambling.

Indeed, no one is  safe whatever venue they are performing their gambling, it's more on self-discipline and if you can't control yourself then you'll be at risk getting addicted, though the access is not that easy in terms of physical casino unlike with online which you can easily access and add your deposit. But as long as you are good in setting your limits and knows how to handle whatever situation, then dealing with it and preventing addiction is still possible.

I often say that both physical and online casinos will always exist, no one can undermine the extras in physical casinos that online casinos can't offer. But at the same time, if we are sticking to the context of the thread, the distinction between the two is the real establishment addiction-prone, so the online casino is obviously more devastating in terms of addiction if care is not taken and that is because of their easier accessibility. We can't joke about that, which is why more restraint is needed, especially these days that our wallets are digital.

Some people are thinking that online gambling or casinos will eliminate offline casinos and gambling but that is not possible in any way. Online gambling is a unique on it own and likewise offline gambling and no one can remove the another. There are factors that making the offline gambling to be more effective and such is. Easy deposit/easy access and argument in the hall and that created people discussing different things to one another.
Illiterate gamblers prefer offline gambling than online gambling because they can't understand many things in the online casinos.

It can be said that safe gambling is when you treat everything in a smart way, I think it is an obligation for a gambler considering that gambling is an activity that can really stimulate our brain and mind which often leads us to various excessive actions and makes it difficult for us to control everything so that it does not exceed the limit, honestly I do not see any difference between physical and online casinos when we talk in the context of addiction, both places are almost the same and the only difference is in terms of accessibility but talking about addiction depends on how a gambler organizes, controls and manages everything well, simply put even though online casinos are easier to access which people believe that this increases the possibility of addiction but in my opinion if for example the gambler understands the concept of gambling thoroughly then they should not end up addicted.

Anything that can lead to addiction shouldn't be given 100% attention and Gambling is one of them, it's not something one should do very often because they want to entertain themselves with it else it would become a habit which can lead to addiction, the internet has made gambling more popular thereby increasing the chances of getting addicted.

 Unlike traditional gambling centers and casinos a gambler just needs the internet and any device that can be connected to the Internet to gamble with, that alone makes it more addictive. Anyways if a gambler can manage the risk of gambling by learning to hanw self-control then their chances of getting addicted would come minial, doesn't matter whether they gamble online or in physical.

Yes that's right and from your opinion maybe I can conclude that even though online casinos provide very easy accessibility for gamblers but still various excessive actions should be avoided, or it can also be said that don't because you see the ease in terms of accessibility then you use it blindly so that your involvement tends to be excessive and for the problem of addiction yes I understand that everything that is done excessively does have the potential to increase the possibility of addiction.

On the other hand there is no justification for excessive actions, because of course gamblers who understand what and how gambling really is will certainly always limit themselves and avoid all forms of actions that lead to excessive aspects, another thing yes you have concluded my previous statement which you wrote in your last idea that no matter regardless of what type of casino we are involved in and also regardless of the problem of accessibility advantages owned by online casinos in the end you will not be addicted if you can manage and organize everything properly and correctly

Online or offline casino is the same thing that can lead an individual to addiction if they neglect what they do. But in this era, more people are falling into gambling
addiction because of online casinos.

This is because even people who are poor now have the opportunity to gamble at the casino even with a small amount of capital, and because a of poor people are dependent on
luck for hoping they can get the chance to win the big winnings in casino.

Not casino alone both sport betting, because obviously majority of this gamblers don't always prefer betting on casinos. Reason been that they always find it very risky than sport betting. because in casino games you can easily lose a huge amount of money within a period of 10minutes just like that of virtual sport, Which is why most people don't always pick interest in playing those casino games. But whether casino or sport betting the fact remains that online gambling leads to more addition than that of offline.

[rachael9385]

actually not really because offline casinos are much more addictive, easy access and can be done anywhere is the advantage offered by online gambling but social interaction, hype and euphoria when in an offline casino can be very addictive especially if there are drinks, fast loans and women, it can make someone very addicted to gambling.

gambling is a dangerous thing if it can not be controlled but it is a fast way to get rich if you are lucky and controlled well for that never be a loser in gambling so that your time is not wasted.

I have also thought about this, offline gambling can also be addictive due to all these factors you made mention of. But you are forgetting something, a gambler can go to a land based casino and lose some money probably under the influence of alcohol or drugs but the gambler cannot be in a physical casino at every hour, when it comes to online casinos with a click of a button you can fund your bet account after losing multiple times, and the adrenaline rush that comes when you decide to start chasing your losses hits more with online gambling. The percentage of gamblers addicted to online gambling are more than those addicted to offline gambling.

Gamble addiction not really matter if you’re playing online or offline just as you deposited, it’s all about the individual and how they see gambling. Online make it easier and fast to stake and place your bet, so you can bet at will without going to the bet shop to stake.  If you don’t have control you can easily get addicted because you have access to your bank and bet site. But those gambling offline has to go get cash then walk down the street to stake. Some days one won’t have the energy to stroll out to bet, but the online doesn’t require energy you can stake from your bed, but it’s not a yield stick for addiction you have to know when to stop, we still have some offline gamblers that are addicted too.

You're correct; the method the gambler uses in gambling is not what makes them get addicted to gambling, but their addiction is personal and how they are unable to handle themselves and lack self-control. No doubt, one can blame online casinos for being very accessible from anywhere, but if that comes to the table, then those who also got addicted in traditional gambling houses should be questioned since they have to leave their house to the gambling house to gamble.

The only difference between online and offline casinos is just one thing, in online casinos people can stay in the comfort of their home and gamble until they lose everything they have while in offline casinos gamblers will have to locate a casino shop to gamble but that been said, getting addicted does not depend on the type of gambling the gambler uses it depends on the individual and how he chooses to gamble. Online casinos have a higher rate of leading people to addition since people can even gamble to stupor without anyone noticing what they are into but the people who gamble offline may become scared of people seeing them and how they are regularly visiting the casino office for that reason they may limit their frequent appearance in the casino offices. Once a gambler becomes addicted they can do everything to gamble at some point they will gamble both online and offline as they will become restless if they fail to gamble each day.

I dont know why but I dont really believe that sports betting is that addictive. I have been betting in sports for a long time but I can still find some rest whenever I want. When there's a hiatus of my favorite sport, I also take some rest although I may bet weekly with boxing and MMA but that's it. I wont go as far as betting in games that I have no knowledge of. Simply because I would probably not enjoy it and since my purpose is to add more spice from the entertainment while watching.

Slots on the other hand is definitely an addictive game especially when a gambler is chasing his losses.

Online gambling is even more severe and easy to become addicted compared to a physical casinos. You can bet and use am online casino at anytime that you want but a physical casino may have a closing time which might not favour you. Gambling should be profitable once we know what we are doing as gamblers. Too much gambling is never profitable which is why it's advisable for us to keep gambling at our own convince not on every slightest opportunity. Many would prefer an online gambling platforms to a physical one because you can even be at work and you decided to gambling without leaving there to a casino that will take your time and might not be convenient for you.
