[Nothingtodo]

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.

Over time, people have become more interested and curious about things that are easily available. People spend most of their day and night online, which makes it easy for people to participate in online gambling. This is because there is no need for physical presence and no need to face any hostile environment. Whatever difficult situations one faces in offline gambling becomes much easier online. The younger generation is more easily attracted to online gambling because it is easy.

However, online gambling does lead to addiction much more strongly. Than it does a regular physical casino. The fact is that it is always very convenient to sit on your couch, make yourself a coffee and launch slots or card games, than to think: What transport to get to a physical casino to experience there the excitement of embarrassment due to the fact that there are people around, and also are afraid to possibly look like a loser in someone's eyes,
Therefore, I believe that online gambling is more dangerous in terms of the impact on the gambler. The same applies to betting.

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.

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.

Logically right, it's your decision making and how you handle things in life, online gambling may give you easy access and may lead you to keep on playing since you can deal with it inside the comfort of your room, unlike with with offshore casino where you need to travel but like what you said, if you can accept the full responsibilites then you might avoid getting addicted as you know what's the risk either you use online or offline services.

Not only that, online gambling is able to attract the attention of ordinary people who initially never gambled can now be the opposite often visiting gambling sites. This is because of the ease of accessing gambling sites from anywhere without interacting directly with people around. Most of the younger generation is more easily addicted to online gambling because on average they spend more time online

You're right online gambling is more preferable than that of offline because it reduces some stress and also prevent us from not being embarrassed. of course most gamblers don't always feel conducive when they are gambling offline due to noises and other things which can make you feel distracted, which is why majority of the gamblers prefer online gambling than that of offline. But the truth still remains that online gambling is more addictive than that of offline.

Yes, due to the ease of online gambling, online gambling is more addictive. Nowadays, the number of online gamblers is very high, most gamblers gamble in online casinos. However, the issue of addiction also depends on the gambler. Because if the gambler can gamble responsibly, then addiction will never happen, the only reason for addiction is lack of control, the gambler who has no control over himself, and once he starts gambling, he cannot stop, only that gambler becomes addicted. Addiction happens in both cases, but if gambling is done responsibly, then it is definitely possible to stay away from addiction.

Due to easy access then we can really be able to tell that people could easily deal up with gambling without any issues on which as long you do have that funds that you can deposit then you could be able to play right away. Come to think that there are still some platforms who doesnt ask out for some KYC on which even kids or young people will really be able to make out such engagement on which this is really that the reality that we do have today. Never ever make yourself that being too positive towards gambling because it is really just that intended for the sake of fun. We do know that young people are highly reactive when it comes to making money and if you wont really be that careful then you would definitely be having that huge issue and potential problem on which it is really that connected to addiction on which this is really that a very problematic thing once it do happens.

online gambling is very easy, and that is why you will notice that it is much more easy to get addicted to because when you are unable to go out and you are relaxed at home, the next thing you can do is to just manage your self on how well you can make your self not to gamble always when you are free because we are always found of doing profitable things when we are more relaxed and there is nothing that consumes more money than when you gamble a lot especially when you dont have anything doing and the best thing you can do is to just control your self because the feeling can actually make you do more and a lot of people that can not control and that is when you start becoming addicted to some extent so you will have just look for other things to do like hang out with friends or even something better, more things to learn.

In developed countries we usually see physical casinos but most of the countries do not have physical casinos so people of these countries gamble through online casinos. You definitely bring up the right point that people are more addicted to online casinos. Basically, online casino is very accessible, anyone who has a smart phone and internet can easily gamble using online casino. Basically when a gambler gambles in the beginning both profit and loss will affect that gambler in gambling then it will be seen that the gambler is gambling regularly. 
At one stage of gambling it will be seen that he has become very addicted to gambling and slowly his addiction is increasing. Maybe by doing this he is gambling most of the day and even though he doesn't have the money to gamble, he tries to gamble anyway by managing the money, basically this is gambling addiction.

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. 

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.

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.

Even with parents guardians, these young ones can go under their bed during night time and still gamble. Get some funds from their pops credit cards or money if they're trusting by their parents.

Too many tricks to do that as we've went from being a child and we know how our parents react to us and they're kind to us.

That's why even with monitoring, kids are good in hiding things unless you're a very close parent to them and you put fear into their heads to lie.

You make good point about online casinos being very popular in countries that do not have many physical casinos. Fact is that online casinos are so easy to access has led to more people becoming addicted to gambling. All someone needs is smartphone and internet connection and they can gamble online which makes it very tempting and convenient option. As you said when people first start winning or losing money it can get them hooked and they start gambling regularly. After sometime this can turn into serious addiction where people spend most of their time in gambling. This kind of behavior is clear sign of gambling addiction and it shows that people need to be more careful when they gamble and that we need to support those who are struggling with addiction.

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.

both online and offline gambling all have the potential to make people addicted. no doubt that online gambling can lead to serious addiction because it is done behind closed doors where you play alone and eventually if you lose you will still need to fund your account again and again till you may get exhausted and tired plus being aggressive. but then this is usually done because of the fact that it is done by mobile phone. now what about those that dont have mobile devices? so they will have no option than to play offline and they may set boundaries since they don't have mobile device to use and bet. so surely this addiction happens under some circumstances which is having what will lead to addiction like mobile phone.

That refers only to those are sociopaths; people who does not like company of other people or dont like crowded places. And even such people can hide behind dark glasses and surround themselves from others with glasses.

However, I would disagree that online gambling is more addicted than offline. Easy to access and use - yes. But for a person who is addicted to things, it does not matter where to gamble. We do have access to movie databases for instance, we dont have to go to cinemas to watch movies, but that not make us addicted to movie. Get my idea?

The perception of people that are having access to the Internet is increasing on basis, to every advantage there is always a disadvantage, undoubtedly online gambling leads to more more gambling addiction because it can easily be done at our convenient making us prone vulnerable to gamble even more than we should have done if it were only to be done offline, if by being aware of this circumstances it is in our interest to monitor our gambling activities as not to be carried away by this privilege given to us, but however so many will still fall the victim of this circumstances and for sure it has consequences.

I have seen people of ages gambling in online casinos and become addicted to gambling that I would never have believed if I hadn't seen them in person. From young to old to old everyone at one time played or was interested in playing online casinos. But they didn't really know how to play online gambling. Just think how terrible it would be if people who had no idea about online casinos were interested in gambling only by hearing from others and seeing various advertisements online. Once upon a time many old people came to me and they asked me to open an online casino account, I knew that if I opened an online casino account they would become addicted and later suffer a lot financially and their families would face many problems. So I didn't open casino accounts to all these people but I helped those who felt that they can use their intelligence and conscience to gamble.

Certain yes it does lead to more high addiction rate of the gamblers, especially to offline betting sites and land based casino. Suddenly the high rate of addiction keeps growing overtime and I can't necessarily give reasons why it's so , but could it be possibly to balance with one's needs and demands but from starting small they can't resist it, tend to keep gambling and at the end it'll lead to addictions.of recent seeing some individuals that are struggling to survive are making use of money they would save to gamble and that's the first mistakes anyone can find themselves in, when you don't have enough you shouldn't gamble cause when you lose you'll always want to chase over losses.

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.

VR gambling is an advanced online gambling, but is it everyone that have access to the technology? That's a question to ponder again because, when you gamble via your smartphone, it is one of the easiest ways you can gamble, but when you talk about the VR infrastructure, it becomes slimmer because of the technological advancement seen in the VR system which is yet to be rampant in most part of developing countries that have the highest numbers of gamblers.

Logically right, it's your decision making and how you handle things in life, online gambling may give you easy access and may lead you to keep on playing since you can deal with it inside the comfort of your room, unlike with with offshore casino where you need to travel but like what you said, if you can accept the full responsibilites then you might avoid getting addicted as you know what's the risk either you use online or offline services.

It's obvious that easy access brings about more access and time spent on the platform. When you spend more time due to the access you have to the online gambling, you are more likely to be addicted to it because all you have to do is log into your mobile device and gamble. To avoid getting addicted, is to distance yourself from the temptations of gambling particularly through self control, being it online or offline.

Start small and for entertainment purpose but along the way when they feel the lust and desire increase there's nothing they can do but to please the call of gambling, once greed dominates it's tough to resist and with the online services which offer easy access those who can't control their emotions they will keep topping more money and same deal with how addicted gamblers treats offline gambling they will keep on chasing to play more.

[Dickiy]

Yes, casinos do have a greater potential to create more addicted gamblers, the reason is clear, namely because of the ease of accessibility that makes most of them have more opportunities to gamble excessively, but on the other hand, I think we cannot be sure that a gambler will definitely be addicted when they are involved in an online casino just because of the advantages of accessibility, because talking about addiction, I think this is more about whether they have the right knowledge and understanding or not regarding how gambling really is.

Because it is certain that gamblers who end up addicted are those who gamble with the wrong approach, which approach occurs because they do not have the right understanding of gambling so they treat gambling in the wrong way, so according to the problem of addiction, it does not depend on where you gamble but rather on your understanding of gambling because that is what will determine how you treat this activity which will ultimately lead you to addiction or not.

Globally online gambling is more and plenty than offline gambling because this days, everyone want to be an online casino owner because it's not complicated to set up like online casino. The addiction is subjective to where you are staying, if you are staying in Asia, I don't know the numbers but online casino can't be popular than physical casino because it's like every one gambles in those region and has been existence even before the internet gambling took over.

Either online or offline, anyone that want to be addicted to gambling will be addicted because when you gamble recklessly like someone that doesn't have any work or someone without any plan about their life will continue to be addicted and perhaps be drown in it because they refuse to look at the other side of the world for opportunities. When you are too desperate to make money from gambling, what you get is addiction whether you make money from it or you don't make nothing.
