Does online gambling lead to more addiction?

[Kristiyana]

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.

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.

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.

That's right, I think it depends because most people have been gambling online for a very long time yet they never get addicted into gambling reason been that they always set a limit on when they're going to stop, whether they're in a losing streak or not. However, I think the most common reason why majority of this online gamblers easily get addicted is because they don't always set a limit on when to stop, and also they don't apply self control when gambling which is why most people easily get hooked in the process.

Know gambling leads to addiction. It all depends on mindset. Greedy gambling is the main reason for addiction some gambler's gamble without limit. Even in our normal life activities there must be limit in what we do be it good or bad once you fail to know and practice it one may end up losing something precious. It's clear that at times gambling can be tempting but we should learn how to work with limits in gambling.

[GeorgeJohn]

Online gambling is the fastest kind of gambling and it's easiest ways of gambling, so I know quite well that gambling neither centralized kind of gambling or decentralized kind of gambling which I may call internet kind of gambling, someone who wants to be addicted in the gambling will be addicted, what we are suppose to know in the gambling is that we need to know that gambling is all about your personal decision, so online gambling be the easiest way children who is not up to age have access in gamble can have access to gamble through online gambling, so in online gambling the disadvantages is that a tender person can partake on gambling without the parents been know., so this the disadvantages I see in online gambling.

That is why many people try to play gambling very carefully, literally try to quickly realize their deposit and find out whether luck has turned to face them today or not. At the same time, they do not want to sit for a long time and try to get maximum pleasure from the game, so as not to cause addiction. Yes, this is a strange way for. Well, nevertheless, I know such examples and even do it myself.
This is a completely practical and unemotional method of gambling.

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.

Yes, when you see everything that both include, because they lead to the same thing, both casinos can generate happiness, adrenaline, and can also lead to losses and triumphs, as well as unfortunately can lead to addiction when the necessary considerations are not taken to protect yourself.

For me both have the same dangers and if we go deeper sometimes an online casino has more risk when it comes to withdrawing, since if they have not complied with the KYC they will reject your withdrawal of money, in a physical casino it is immediate that they give you the money.

Good point it developed happiness and frustrations and without good control of your emotion it can bring you unhandled situation, things like pushing yourself to exceed from the set limits that you created. With that possibilities, emotion can runied your decision making and without good judgements it can lead you to lose a lot.

In terms of risk withdrawing the money out from the online casino, it's always best to use those services who do established their names in the business, as you said it right there's chances that some of those online services may not allow you to withdraw and just scam your money.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

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.

The fact that you had enough privilege to gamble online on your laptop when ever you are free from work, did you became a compulsive gambler? Truth is, online gambling can make one play more but with self control, planned gambling timetable and rules for self discipline, the person can not become addicted.

In general, gambling addiction will only make those involved in misery, such as with messy finances, perhaps in debt, their relationships with their families are broken or even stressed and depressed.
Gambling addiction will not cause profit but this will only cause large-scale losses like most cases that have occurred where they experience life destruction due to gambling addiction that cannot be cured.
This online gambling makes it easy for many people to gamble, and in fact, of the many online casinos that operate, some of them do not involve KYC on their visitors, but maybe there are also some players who really pay attention to this KYC.

You can say yes, and you are absolutely right in what you say, but there is something that many ignore and that is that the casino does not cause addiction, no, those who cause addiction are ourselves, the casino must only be seen as a service, as a service for adults, because only those who consider themselves of legal age or over 18 years old are allowed to play, or as they consider it in some countries and cultures, where all the responsibility is ours, not the site's, that is what we must be clear about, that is why I say for me it is indistinct, the online and physical casino can be the same with the same effect if the person does not have a high degree of responsibility.

[Oluwa-btc]

the more reason why online gambling can increased the chances of a gambler being addicted is that anyone gambling online can get to it anytime as such it will be easy for him or her to gamble from anywhere they are, so it is a fact that online gambling begats extreme gambling which in reality is addiction.

Yeah, online gambling do actually offer gamblers the maximum level of convenience and freedom to gamble whenever and wherever they wish, and the truth is that, not everyone is actually ready to handle this kind of freedom, so when they get it, they often misuse it or allow it to take over them, resulting to excessive gambling and spending too much time and resources on gambling and we know already that this is the easiest route to gambling addiction.

There's sincerely no opposition to the kind of comfort and convenience that online gambling offers it's players.Meanwhile,this is for gamblers that go the extra mile to borrow money or sell their items to fund Gambling.The online gambling psychological effects literally pulls back your habits when you stop playing and that's the initial starting point for addiction.

[Onyeeze]

I will say that online gambling contribute to Almost 75% of someone being addicted in gambling because during the process of gambling online you will not see the amount of money you are using to bet because it is a internet transfer kind of funding so since it does not see the money you will not feel more of it so I think that that is what triggers some people to be addicted in gambling unknowingly, so I know that what triggers people to gamble, is when they're making profits, but people who is addicted in gambling don't gamble because of what they profit

Getting addiction depends on what we are doing to get to the level of becoming an addict. There are so many gamblers that know how to avoid addiction and this is because they don't gamble recklessly like the way we do. Every gamblers must learn how to stay away from excessive gambling which is one of the ways that could make us to become addictive to betting. We ought to learn how to stay safe has a gambler preventing greed and gambling revenge which is one of the way we could quickly become a gambling addict. Every gambler must be ready to gamble responsibly in order to stay safe from the consequences of reckless gambling activities.

That’s very true and this is why it’s very important to always assess one’s gambling history as this has a lot to say about their gambling habit. Yes, online gambling does actually offer some level of convenience, and this isn’t totally bad, because there are also people who this impacts positively. Online or offline, the most important thing is regulating and moderate one’s gambling habit in order to avoid getting addicted because both has the potential to fuel addiction.

Funny you mention how not being aware of the money being transfered of used by gamblers can make them less sensitive to losses and trigger them to continue to gamble recklessly until they find themselves trapped within addiction. That is actually one of the reasons why casinos use chips instead of cash for their gamblers to partake on their games, because it gets rid of inhibitions and makes them forget about the value of money and how much they are putting at stake.
Though, I would say 75% is a lot, it sounds it is rather over-estimated. There are still a bunch of people who prefer to gamble through classical/non electronic means.

[Shinpako09]

Based on what I see here in my country, I can say yes. Online gambling even became a trend during the pandemic, until now. Since then, lots of stories on how they got addicted and ended up losing thousands of dollars monthly to losing most of their savings, if not all. With how it's very accessible, anyone can play as long as they are at the age of 21. Online banks are also connected to different online casinos, making it more convenient. The tax coming from gambling soared since online gambling became known here. That says it all.

I completely agree with what you wrote and moreover, I want to say that not necessarily those who have turned 21 years old start playing in online casinos.
Casinos and gambling have simply become so accessible that absolutely any teenager can play them. For example, let's take a case where some guy, say a high school student, earned cryptocurrency and he will take and transfer it, for example, to a bookmaker's office to bet on eSports events (having a card and the bank's participation are excluded). And if we consider that there are now a lot of online bookmakers that do not even require KYC, then the age may be even lower than a high school student. And this makes the scale of gambling addiction very multifaceted

Online gambling is a game that is usually in the form of a game in an application or website. Gambling was initially only able to be followed directly or called a casino. However, along with advances in technology and ease of transactions, gambling can now be accessed online on any website or application, and can be accessed by anyone including children and parents. Because of the easy access and many games in it, many people are addicted to playing online gambling. In fact, the gamblers themselves no longer care about profit or loss. In this digital era, online gambling addiction is very disturbing. Online gambling addiction is indeed a serious problem that has a very negative impact on the lives of players, including financial, social and mental health aspects. Online gambling addicts often have difficulty stopping their habits.

For now, online gambling is one of the things that I think quite a lot of people visit to place bets, maybe even some can gamble more than once at a time, it is not strange that online gambling makes many people addicted to gambling considering the difficulty of getting a job, of course they are tempted by the big wins that can be obtained in gambling but they forget that this is not certain.
But on the other hand, the reason why many are addicted to online gambling in my opinion is because of their own wrong perspective on gambling which considers this to be a means of seeking profit not a means of entertainment.

[xenomorfo]

The addiction with online gambling is certainly greater than when you go directly to the casino, and the reasons are obvious. You have to go to the casino in person and you can't always.
I was reading this site https://www.ctstorino.com/blog/dipendenza-gioco-azzardo-online-rischi-caratteristiche/ which gives very important information that i could not have summarized better. Online gambling is anonymous, so no one judges you and it is always ready to help. These two factors are practically lethal for addiction

Online gambling is easily accessible and that can make you continue to gamble anytime you are free, because no don't have a pay for transportation or anything. You just bring out your phone or us your PC to gamble. It will definitely lead to high level of addiction in the society because majority of underage will have access to gamble and regular gamblers can lose focus and get carried away with online gambling.
