Does online gambling lead to more addiction?

[LUCKMCFLY]

I think the effort to come to a live casino takes effort, so I think nowadays the ease of access makes online gambling easier to get addicted to. Online gambling is currently increasing, even with the youthfulness of the access of its users, not only adults but even school children. Even though there is a blocking of gambling sites, users are able to overcome in various ways to access the website.

My country bans gambling, but looking at the news I found many victims of online gambling. They committed suicide, the property was sold out, and the attempt went bankrupt to cover debts due to online gambling. But indeed both are mental and emotional control, if the brand ais able to control it well it will be better and I think there will be no addiction.

Yes, for a Physical casino the fact of Moving is already an effort, however I have seen that some people want that, to Have physical contact with Others , as if they like that much more, for the ease if there are online casinos , I consider that each country that prohibits casinos is not the solution either, the addiction is born from the person , Due to their inability to control themselves, so it is not a problem of the casinos or anything, it is of the Person , that is not how it is Fought, however politicians are hard headed for me, some, not all.

I agree with you, in fact, greed and addiction arise only because of the gambler's gambling attitude. Ban is not the solution to this kind of problem, because the main virus is hidden in the minds of gamblers, that is why no matter how many bans you impose, gamblers will definitely indulge in gambling in any way. Once a person has developed a gambling addiction, he cannot be kept away from gambling in any way, so if the gambler does not understand anything on his own, he will definitely face huge losses and he will lose everything through gambling.

Proximity to gambling isn't the main criteria to know if a person will be gambling addicted. The first sign of a gambling addicted is from the heart, even if you casino is far aware from your place, and you are really addicted to gambling, you will find a way to go there and when you are not addicted to gambling, even if your casino is living a cross the next street, you will not be move by it because you have other things in life that you want to focus about.

The first rule of avoiding addiction is discipline, if you don't have it, you will be quickly addicted to gambling. If you are also greedy fellow that push money before anything, you are likely to get addicted because such people don't quickly forget about anything, they will.ragher see their money back to than casino take it from them and the thumb rule of gambling is that you are going to lose game no matter, you can't avoid losing games in gambling and that's the reality.

these are news that are common even before now, these are common lifestyle of an average addicted gambler. these are addiction sign that have always been there as habit for gambler.   i am not denying the fact that gambling addiction has increased but i wont just conclude it is as a result of online gambling . the world has changed and the youth of these days are desperately looking for ways to make money. the economy can also be reason for high gambling addiction , we should also think of all these too.

Whether online gambling or not it all depends on your self,if you choose to be addicted or not some persons does not really feel the fun in the game online because they are all alone with their phone,yes it is easy to access but not interesting as it suppose to be when you go to casino to gamble, it is easy to stop because there is no life game and competitors, though it is always available to play whenever you want it,but the beauty of the game is the fun we get from it , also knowledge because you can see someone to share your experience and ideas with or even teach you more things you don't know about a particular game , and because of all these things you see gamblers preferring to go to casinos to gamble, and when such persons gets addicted,it is  not easy to come out of it.

Whether online gambling or not it all depends on your self,if you choose to be addicted or not some persons does not really feel the fun in the game online because they are all alone with their phone,yes it is easy to access but not interesting as it suppose to be when you go to casino to gamble, it is easy to stop because there is no life game and competitors, though it is always available to play whenever you want it,but the beauty of the game is the fun we get from it , also knowledge because you can see someone to share your experience and ideas with or even teach you more things you don't know about a particular game , and because of all these things you see gamblers preferring to go to casinos to gamble, and when such persons gets addicted,it is  not easy to come out of it.

There are many players who prefer to play gamble at home. Because they play silently, they can play continuously, where no one can disturb them in any way. This is why if a gambler cannot control themselves, they are more likely to become addicted. And if he goes to a physical casino and plays, he may also be influenced by watching others play. This is why you can become addicted to gambling on any platform. It will depend on how much time a player spends playing. Due to the expansion of online gambling platforms, the tendency to play at physical casinos has decreased significantly, which is why it can be said that players are more likely to become addicted to online platforms. However, this will depend entirely on the player’s gambling habits.

Yes, the only difference that we can see here is only in terms of accessibility, but of course if gamblers know and understand how they should treat this activity, then they will definitely avoid addiction, so I hope we no longer use the superiority of one of these casinos as a benchmark for determining addiction because as you said, it is also true that no matter if they are involved in a physical casino with quite difficult accessibility, but if from the start they have misunderstood gambling, then they will definitely treat their gambling activities excessively even though in terms of accessibility it is quite difficult.

The problem is not the casinos, the problem is the people, we cannot blame the casinos or sports betting for being the culprits of people who suffer from addiction or something like that, no, the fault will always be of the person who does it, because they Cannot control themselves, it is for this reason that only those over 18 years of age are considered to enter a Casino ,  because they know they are adults and that they are responsible for their actions.

Online isnt new, we're past 30 years of internet though its become more common in that time with alot of development.  I think the only new thing might be mobile browser use and the prevalance of easy access to the internet so everything got alot easier and any site you want to visit is alot more available.

More business opportunity which is a good thing generally but also you can gamble constantly now also where as of course every normal business off line has set hours and sometimes are closed, if only to clean up the place for the next day.

    I dont think the online part created a problem, but it makes the problem more obvious for those who do not ever stop gambling and that becomes worse for them.  Most sites do allow self exclusion and that should be used on a regular basis to put yourself out of the loop for a while, take a break is always a good thing for perspective.

[Jody.Drummer]

Actually, with this increasingly sophisticated technology, casinos will also develop their business, with the beginning maybe they only operate offline but based on the increasingly advanced developments they do not want to be left behind, and take advantage of this opportunity by spending some funds to create an online casino that does make it easier for them to access gambling for more people. Online gambling which is currently quite popular can attract many people to become addicted and this is not only in certain circles but all circles can experience it, even considering that now everyone is familiar with the internet which is all online.

Yes, they are really just that those businesses who are really that giving out service into people in speaking about entertainment and fun but in exchange you would really be needing to deposit money for that on which its just understandable since this is how this market works on which you would really be needing up for those who have been engaging will really be having that outmost control when it comes into their funds. The main issue on here is about on having that own self control on how much you are really that spending on doing gambling because if you've been just that responsible into the spending you are doing with gambling then you wont really be ending up on having those addiction and having some financial devastation just because you've been that you can earn money with gambling then you do let yourself on being impulsive. If you are really just that responsible into the actions that you are taking then you will be having no problem but since not all people would be that kind of moderation and control then it will really be that different.

Yes, we will blame those gamblers who are addicted to physical casinos or online. It would not be logical to blame any institution because they do not force you to bet. You may have some kind of preparation and opportunity to be influenced by the above to spend your time in physical casinos, whereas addiction is more prevalent in online casinos. Therefore, you will keep yourself under the blame and the online based casino is free from liability. At the time of registration in the casino, you have entered online by following the terms and conditions and mentioning the period after 18 years.

In as much has it has it advantages it also have it disadvantages too, and for me personally I think online game can make you easily an addict to gambling because it very easy to access, you can even gamble in the middle of the night, you can even gamble at work place unlike when you have to to the bet shops and gamble, you can’t go when they are closed and you can’t also go when you are at your work place.

But also online betting comes with advantages like, only you get to know about your winning, and it provides total comfort and privacy.

Online betting also give room to underage to participate in gambling, because it not as if they need anything to prove that they are underage. Most underage easily get addicted to gambling especially if they have made a few winnings of it. So of course online gambling leads to more addiction.

Of course, online gambling is easily accessible, now I see advertising absolutely everywhere, it has simply filled everything. Starting from banners on websites and ending with tabloids on highways and in cities. It seems to me that I see them several times a day and there is not a single day when I have not seen this advertising. With such a large coverage, there are a lot of players, they find communities in which to communicate and of course many of them lose big money, which makes them try to get it back. And this is the key point, because this is a completely different game, the player can throw all his money and resources at it but it will only make it worse, this is what is called addiction.

It is something logical, and some do not like to see or read the truth, and the truth is that addiction is the player's fault, the casino is an entertainment service, the person sees if he or she does not control himself or herself, that is what an adult is for, however, the main cure for addiction is in the person and his or her willpower, and if the person wants to be cured, he or she cures himself or herself, because if he or she cannot do it alone, he or she receives help and that help, whether From friends , family or professionals, must be given importance to help him or her get out of that hole , so the cure begins with the person himself or herself and his or her desire to stop being Addicted.

Underage participation in gambling is the most dangerous aspect of gambling I fear most now. It does not only allow children to be wrongly exposed to the bad side of gambling, it also could make them addicted to gambling at an age where you would not want that to happen. You need to ensure that your children become adults before you give them the free will of engaging fully in gambling. 

However, where the problem lies for many is because this is an online platform where most parents do not know nor have control over the usage and exposure their kids get over this platform. This calls for more monitoring from the side of the guardians to ensure that they watch their kids very closely and observe the contents they consume over the social media platforms.

This actually leads to gambling addiction.

When these young guys are able to gamble at an early stage, they'll bring it until they become older. That's what we don't want to happen to many of them.

But it cannot be helped when they're already in it. So, online gambling can lead them to that due to the accessibility that it brings to people. And that's why these teens are controlled by gambling itself, instead of them controlling it.

It's true, what happens is that all this is born from people who do not accept that they themselves are the ones with the problem, but they can say anything blaming what already exists, for example: "If you get married it's bad, then you're going to get divorced, then getting Married is Bad" , That's how you start to harm things that are Already fully done in the world, it's like Something like: "Why were you born? If you're going to die anyway ", these things are from People Who do not accept their Reality and it's easier to blame others.

The percent of gambling addicts is the same. And it is rather small. There are alcoholics but we don`t close distilleries because other people can become alcoholics. I don`t care about gambling addicts and don`t understand why i must get any restrictions due to several addicts, who need to solve their problems themselves.

Online gambling comes with a lot of convenience to gamblers, they can be anywhere that has internet connection and access gambling sites. The negative aspect to this is that underaged individuals that has access to smartphones can also gain access to gamble sites. Parents and guardians might not know that their underaged children are into gambling until perhaps when the underaged becomes addicted. It's important to sometimes monitor the activities that underaged children does on the mobile phones that are in their custody to know the kinds of things that they engage in. People who are underaged and those who don't earn their own money have no business in gambling.

If online gambling is more popular than offline gambling (that is actually debatable) and technology always go forward, why VR gambling isnt popular? Its gives most benefits of offline gambling combined with online. As people spend more and more time online, always search for new, however VR gambling seems to be dead. If online gambling leads to more addiction, it cant be that people are happy with that they have already now.
