Do You Think The Minimum Deposit Can Contribute To Gambling Addiction

[Makus]

What i believe  is that we are responsible for actions the casinos are not ment to be blamed for our lapses. If the deposit amount is too high compared to what we have in mind to gamble with, why not check out another casino with a more lower deposit amount that way you'll  feel comfortable  rather than overriding your initial intention just to suit the casino. Their only aim is to make profit from you so whether you make small deposit  or large deposit  they'll still make profit from you, so now it's  left for us to choose between desperacy or wisdom which should you apply,  but before you pick from one of those options  always  do well to consider the consequences and the sacrifice involved.

Yes, the host certainly knows very well how to market and the targets they want to implement, and with the ease of various accesses, of course they will carry out both in terms of deposits and others. Yes, there is a high possibility of addiction, with low deposits creating the perception that gambling is an affordable and low-risk activity, thus encouraging more people to try. With a low initial cost, players may be more inclined to play more frequently or may be tempted to continue playing, potentially leading to addiction.

I think if the business is based on a poor country, they have to really lower the minimum deposit to attract even those low earning individuals otherwise their audience or clientele would only be the high earning ones. Which is not a bad thing either but they have to decide which direction their business should go

The gambling should be play with the gambling responsibility to avoid of loss in the gambling.The gamblers who start the gambling with high money,if they loss their money.Surely they get worry for the loss.If the gambling addicted person loss the less amount of money in the gambling,it never make them to loss their money.If the gamblers want to get away from the gambling addiction,they should use the less money at the time of gambling addiction to avoid of huge money to the gambling loss.Like this the gamblers can also get away from the gambling addiction.

It is possible that minimum deposits will lead to addiction, but I think the point is not just about the minimum or maximum, but the gambler's own awareness.
Indeed, if we look at the minimum deposit given as a form of promotion, gamblers will consider it easy to do and very feasible, so they will not be aware when they do it and play and then lose, they can still make another deposit.

However, if there is good self-control, it is actually possible to avoid falling into addiction because the key is setting limits for oneself.
Regardless of the size of the deposit made, addiction can still occur for anyone because we are all aware that ultimately, it is our own behavior that drives gambling addiction.

Well, you started pretty well at first, I agree with all that you said at first which is that we all are solely responsible for our decisions and actions, but you deviated along the line unfortunately, the discussion isn't really about casino wanting to make as much profit from we the gamblers, but more centered on whether some certain casino features leads more gamblers to getting addicted, which in this case is low minimum deposit.

We all know that low minimum deposits will allow more potential gamblers access to the casino, as the easier it is to achieve the required minimum casino deposit, the higher of the chances that alot of people will be getting involved in gambling, but getting addicted I still believe is a person choice at the end of the day, because even in areas where minimum deposit to casinos is very high, there are still alot of gambling addicts there too.

It was before casinos targeted rich people, but now, they are also targeting the poor. A good strategy, perhaps, to gain more clients, but yes, the impact to their lives isn't looking good. Casinos make money, but these poor people suffer. This is something that the government should regulate. Addiction is very concerning now, and having this low-deposit strategy triggers more. I believe setting it to 100 or higher loses the interest of many. It might affect the casino's income, but at least it will help poor people stay away.

That's really low minimum deposit no wonder people will keep deposit and play gamble until they're addicted, combined with various attractive bonuses, it becomes the perfect trap to lure more players in. Honestly, if something like that existed in my country, I’d probably be tempted to play too just small amounts at first, spending little by little until I eventually got bored

It does. A relative of mine have justified that due to this, he won't mind redepositing time and time again. And with so many stories that have been shown to KMJS, those gambling addicts have the same thing in common for reasoning why they keep on gambling again. That's because the ease of depositing and the minimum limit isn't a lot and that's why even if they've lost a lot already, they can say to themselves that it's not a lot to gamble again and they'll try to chase their losses maybe with the next bets they do, recovery will come.

Minimum deposit being too small only allows more people easy access into gambling, that is, more people, even those with out much money can deposit their pennies to their favorite casinos and experience what gambling feels like, but even in this, those who will not get addicted still won't get addicted, while those who will get addicted will get addicted..

This is why I said that addiction to gambling is a choice, it's a choice we make either directly or indirectly..
If minimum deposit was the reason why people get addicted to gambling, I personally would also be addicted to gambling today because as far as I know, the amount to deposit to casinos for gambling purposes has never been as issue to me, but since I know that addiction is real, I still try as much as possible to control myself and how I make deposits to the casino..

So, addiction is a choice, it's something we choose either directly or indirectly based on our decided actions or inactions, the casino allowed minimum deposit to be small but did not force anyone to keep depositing after each and every loss.

[fruktik]

I agree on this. I experienced it myself that I always do deposit whenever I have a small funds in my wallet since casino allow small deposits.

Not only small deposits but also the low minimum bet on gambling games. In my local online casino the minimum bet is x10 lower than the crypto casino despite having same game from same provider.

Some casino makes everything lower to make it affordable to everyone that typically cause addiction to low income people because it gives them hope that it can be the answer to snap out of poverty.

And what is happening in reality? Everything is only getting worse. A person with a low income is even more susceptible to the influence of gambling than those who earn much more. Poor people have the most direct dependence on money. They need it constantly in the amount needed to live another day. And how can you quickly and easily raise money? That's right, casino advertising will tell you about it. It seems disgusting to me. You can't play on the feeling of need.

A person who is addicted to gambling will either be addicted to the minimum deposit or the maximum deposit. For a compulsive gambler, the amount of the deposit has no effect; rather, if he deposits a large amount, he will be able to take out a larger bet, while if he deposits a small amount, he will be able to bet once or twice before his balance runs out. However, when the addict runs out of balance, he will refill it and continue his gambling activities.

It’s not just about addiction itself, we also have to look at the process of how someone gets addicted. With low minimum deposits, anyone can start gambling, and that alone already puts them at risk. But if the minimum is high, fewer people can play simply because they can’t afford it.

Just imagine this comparison: one casino offers a $1 minimum, while another has a $100 minimum. Do you think the outcome would be the same in terms of addiction level? For me, the answer is no.

Don’t completely agree with you; low deposit means they are making gambling affordable, and the players don’t need to worry about breaking the bank before they can be able to afford gambling. It’s now on the player to use the little deposit, place a bet, and know when to stop. Just the same way that people who gamble in casinos with high minimum deposits can also get addicted, the same way minimum deposit can also allow people to get addicted. It all boils down to how the player gambles and the type of self-control and discipline they have that will determine.

In conclusion, I think bookies try to make everything easier for their users. They target profits from all levels of class, and one thing is certain, addiction is not their concern, it's purely the gambler own responsibility. Therefore, gambling companies don't need advice on how they should run their casinos, gambling advice is for us, the gamblers. So in my opinion, as long as bookies don't violate regulations regarding maximum and minimum deposit limits, they are free to set those limits.

[Woodie]

You know what, I think this whole gambling addiction needs to be looked at from the root cause, and am thinking the reasons we keep talking about it is because people want to take short cuts to making it in life especially after you taste a few wins you think this can be done everyday...sorry Karen ,sorry Joe gambling can sometimes be rosy and sometimes be a nightmare which you wish never happened.

Otherwise with or without minimum amount on the deposit, people will always gamble and it's up to the player to call a timeout by themselves!

[bubilas]

People’s addiction to gambling is now a hot topic in my country. This was never the case in the past, until these local casinos offered a very low deposit and a marketing hype that people can change their lives for 20 pesos ($0.35). They even had a promo of a 1 peso deposit or 0.17

My answer to this question is clear and very precise: I think that the reduction of the minimum entry threshold directly affects how many people will be able to start considering the casino as an interesting way to spend time.
Because psychologically: the less money we bet, the less seriously we will perceive this bet. We will think that this is just a joke. Although this is already the first step to start betting more and more money.

It’s strange, but in the survey many didn’t even answer a firm Yes to the topic’s title question.
And this is probably due to the fact that the reduction to 17 cents does not necessarily have such a strong impact on the influx of new guests for online casinos or bookmakers.
I can assume that it is probably a matter of psychology, namely that if someone wants to try their luck and excitement, then it will not be an obstacle for them to bet even 5 dollars. And if someone is not interested in the casino, they simply will not go there.

Bookies and casinos, some sites already have it all in one place. And yeah, they don’t care if you get addicted or not, because that’s not their concern. They’re running a business, not emotions. It’s just a system that gives them the edge, and that’s why they win.

The TOS they provide before we even sign up is already enough to warn us of the risks. And once you’re 18+ or 21+, you’re expected to be responsible with your choices. So blaming the casino for our mistakes doesn’t really make sense.

They make it easy to deposit using an e-wallet, with very low deposits and easy transactions. As a result, people become addicted. From 20 pesos, they keep depositing, unaware that they have already reached ten times the minimum deposit.

So let us discuss this is The Minimum Deposit Can Contribute To Gambling Addiction?

All of that does not guarantee addiction; it only makes it easier for gamblers to play with lower deposit amounts. Here, we will see many new gamblers emerge because the minimum deposit amount has been massively reduced.

As for addiction itself, it depends on the gamblers themselves. If they are tempted to gamble excessively and become emotionally invested in the constant curiosity of winning in gambling, they will continue to gamble until they feel unable to stop gambling in a single day. Even with a small amount of money, they will deposit it into gambling and hope to win, and this will be done every time they have money.

I'm not sure about the connection between minimum deposit and gambling addiction you're talking about. Do you mean that the minimum deposit, being so low, is an invitation to start gambling and it increases the chances for more people to get addicted? And that a higher deposit would be preferable?

While there is no direct correlation, upon reflection, this makes it easier for gamblers to get involved. Even those with limited funds may engage in gambling, which can lead to addiction if done continuously without pause. This also depends on the duration of time and the amount of money spent on gambling.

You are making a good point that gambling addiction is a choice and that's true. I agree that all of us have a choice whether to gamble or not, to deposit or not and to become addicted or not. And with small deposits, the volume is bigger with that and that's making us more vulnerable when we gamble because we think that it's not a lot to lose. But we have to remember how the big ship sinks and that's with all of the small holes that they have where water comes in and that's the same with a gambler that doesn't notice that.
