Few tips to avoid gambling addiction, add yours.

I would say, don't make it as a habit, addiction is nothing but our habit lost control and we are just doing as much as we want. One should keep gambling as some kind of exclusive thing and just enjoy it once in a while even spend more money but daily spending money  will increase the chance of addiction compared to an occasinonal player.

Addiction is not something in itself, it is a daily habit and setting yourself up with that habit. And this habit is basically created when someone uses that thing regularly. Gambling was originally created to celebrate the joy of the rich but it has now spread widely and it is the poor people who are getting addicted to gambling to a greater extent. Since the advent of online gambling, when it has become very easy for everyone to access gambling, poor, immature children have become addicted to gambling. If these things cannot be controlled from the beginning, no matter how clever and knowledgeable someone is, he cannot control himself. This is a psychological thing, so you have to keep yourself under control before it becomes a habit.

Prevention is better than cure. So, if you really wanna avoid gambling addiction, you better not get yourself involved with it at all. That's the simplest solution. Gambling itself is an addictive thing, so at some point you are bound to get addicted, even to some degree. I would say it's the same as taking drugs, or drinking, or masturbation etc. While you gamble (at present), you can never truly get rid of its addiction. Yes, it may be controlled, but that's just it. Frankly speaking, we can write a lot of things online, what to do, what not to do, how to do. But at the end of the day, I wonder how many of us are able to follow these advices. I'm gonna finish with one sentence, "Man, it's really hard."..just my two sats.

Using gambling as an escape from poverty can cause addiction since it makes the person to be in a state of quick desire of wealth overnight, so my tips are, let no one take gambling as an escape from poverty, let no one see gambling as the quickest way to make a huge amount of money overnight such kind of money comes with heavy risk. Don't not set unrealistic target of the amount you want to win from gambling and don't also bet with your friends telling them that you can win a certain amount from gambling, that bet will push you as a gambler to go wild 🤷‍♀️.

Gambling is not something that person can use to escape poverty, and that’s the reason why most of people are rushing into the gambling we all know understand with in one day gambling can turn a person to what he/she didn’t expected in life but it not popular. Because if to say it’s easy to win in gambling and becoming wealthy overnight, i think by now everybody have become a richest men’s through gambling but since it’s not work the way people think of it that’s why you can see most people are running away from gambling; before they can get addicted to it.

The first tip is on point. A basic tip yet, the most important. As we gamble with an amount that we can afford to lose, that sets the boundary of when we'll stop. First, if we lose all that we've got then stop. Then, setting as well for how much you'll need to be happy to stop for the wins. Not that much and don't expect a lot that you'll win. So, set with reality gains so that it won't hurt you. Lastly, good thing that I don't do illegal drugs and that's a cross for me that I'll never do. If someone gambles under the influence of drugs and alcoholic drinks, you're only putting yourself into quick meeting with big losses.

Here in my country, especially in the city where I live, I've seen things that make me very angry. I see many people in land-based casinos consuming alcohol and probably drugs. I say this because they act in a way that makes it difficult to even stand up straight; their speech seems delayed.

After consuming a lot of alcohol and drugs, they start fighting, shouting loudly, making death threats, firing shots, and I listen to all the noise in terror from my house, which is about 100 meters away. I'm simply furious about it all.

Since these are licensed land-based casinos, and I'm afraid that if I complain to the police they won't do anything, I stay quiet and try to put on music so I don't hear their noise. Alcohol and drugs are a very serious problem.

This dependency development process, when considered among the daily routines, is a major threat to the economic and psychological stability of the current society. The digital availability makes this risk of spreading easier and not restricted by some filters to limit its transmission to the younger generations. Through early mentoring and prevention of addiction before making the habit standard we will be able to rescue our future of being swept away by lack of reason in the face of danger. The most tangible way is to develop inner protections to not dig a grave and sink into the pit of poverty. Bad habits should be stopped decisively and at an early age to ensure our survival.

The thing is that everyone going into gambling have this mindset that “the next lucky guy might just be me” so they still gamble because for that kind and after figuring out that it might not be as they have thought initially. And so when the try to quit another thought comes “what if I’m about to win and then just quit?” Those what ifs thought then to keep them playing with some unrealistic expectations which at the end of the day ends up not happening.

Have the complete control over one's greed is the way to tackle the gambling addiction because people often blinded by the huge success in gambling in very short time either expereinced by themselves or hearing the stories of others and want to replicate the same. Gambling is totally luck based, even if someone have every knowledge about the sportor game still they are not going to get long term success unless they are lucky.

I can summarize gambling tips into two and they are bankroll management and time management, if you are able to control yourself in these two managements you will be a responsible gambler. Firstly if you make budget about what you can spend in gambling every week or month it will help you to be focused and you won't have any spare money to chase loses with. Some gamblers don't know when to stop gambling, they will keep gambling until they don't have any money left to continue. You can help yourself by determining how long you will stay in a gambling site before you start also the amount that you will not exceed. Either time or money any of them that exhausts first you should exit

To avoid becoming addicted, any gambler who is not yet addicted but is already gambling should get used to having a limit on the amount they deposit in any casino, which should also be accompanied by self-discipline and self-control so that our emotions can be used correctly.

Even if that is all that gamblers can practice, I think gamblers can avoid becoming addicted to their gambling, in my opinion. Because of the three things I have mentioned, funds limits,
self-discipline, and self-control, I am sure that it will help a lot.

No. I strongly disagree with that. There are hundreds of millions of people involved in gambling, and in your opinion, all of them should feel some sort of regret that they started at some point in the past? No! Just gamble like 90% of gamblers do, without getting addicted and losing too much. It’s not that hard to tame your greed when it tries to take over your life. Just do it.

Exactly, gambling is never a get rich game and this has been the issue why people are often trap in addiction, because they are always chasing after gambling to be a problem solver for them when it comes to financial aspects, forgetting that gambling has a lot of consequences if its being misuse, because of the risks in it and that is why people are told to gamble with the amount they can afford to lose.

For you to avoid gambling addiction, you have to set some target to yourself and also make sure that you work towards them, this may come with some challenges, but if you're truly determined for what you wanted, your intentions will definitely come to be in due time, also know that too much of everything is bad, instead of rushing to gamble or going to excessive on it, try to adjust and ensure that you walk towards a specific guidelines that could help prevent you from being addicted to gambling, because if you are affected, nobody will be responsible for you than yourself and fate.

Gambling is a game that is meant to be enjoyable by gamblers and is a gamble that is actually enjoyed by some people but without control it can easily turn into an addiction and that’s why it is important to set for yourself clear limitations before you even start.

Here is my first tip, to those who still want to gamble but are scared of not falling into uncontrollable temptations and gambling addiction.

1. The very first simple tip I will give is, you should always decide how much you are willing to lose and never go beyond that same amount. Once you are gambling and the money you budgeted for gambling finishes, stop gambling for the day or week. Do not touch money that is meant for other bills such as food, your utility bills among other responsibilities because if you do so, that will be the fastest way for you to create seriously problems for yourself as a gambler.

2. The second tip is, you should avoid chasing losses because I’ve realized that many people lose control of their gambling plans and money due to chasing one lose or the other there by becoming an habit which easily leads to addiction when they try to recover the money they already lost by all means. For most people and in most cases, this even leads to bigger losses.

3. Gambling while on drugs. I wonder how some people feel so convenient to gamble while on drugs, some call it enjoyment, others call it adventure but to me, it is a terrible thing to do as far as gambling is concerned. You can’t gamble with your money when you are not in your right state of mind thinking that’s enjoyment. That is a total mess and bad behavior and that’s how one can easily get into gambling addictions without even knowing when and how. First, if you are a gambler, stop using drugs because that’s a double risks and should be avoided by all means.

I will stop at these tips while I await more from you all. Please the bottom line is, let’s gamble responsibly, if you must gamble and stay out of bad habits and practices that will lead to gambling addiction because it is easier to get to that stage but very difficult to leave.

In all you have outlined above it's variably not possible for one to stay away from gambling without mentioning self discipline, that's the major factor that can deliver someone from gambling addiction and spending recklessly, in as much as every gambler will want to chase their looses in other to win and recoup what they have lost they should be careful on how they go about it too, having a budget and proper Bank roll management is the best form of having to  safe oneself from addiction.

Come to think of it, we do say for one to be able to win we should be consistent at staking games, now the question is how consistent can one be without having to be addicted to gambling?, once you are consistent you keep on betting everyday and that's how you loose too if you are not lucky enough to win, have learnt that our luck differs from each other but all I can tell us is to gamble responsibly to avoid addictions.

When your so called fun and excitement becomes an habit it will start taking more of your time than before, now when gambling becomes your new fantasy it will definitely become a problem.

The solution to addiction is not to engage every time, do not gamble like it's your job or business, do it only when you have free time, too much exposure to gambling is why many gamblers become addicted to gambling.

Don't also trick your mind into accepting that gambling will get you rich, you will end up using most of your income to gamble and it's certain that you will lose more in a short or long period of time.

Most addicted usually lack of self control due to few knowledge on how to manage their finances properly. They frequently just gamble based on their feeling and urge rather than for entertainment purposes.

This people is not familiar or doesn’t preferred on setting goal that’s why even there’s already responsible gambling guide on every casino many gambler is still uneducated on how to gamble responsibly.

Greediness is always the enemy on why many gamblers still fall for addiction.

Everything in this world can be addictive to some extent. It really depends on the person and whether they can discipline themselves and control their emotions, urges, and the excitement that comes with certain activities. You mentioned some common vices that people get addicted to, and gambling is definitely one of them.

If someone is already involved in gambling, separating from it can be difficult because it easily becomes a habit. Some people manage to control it, while others slowly lose that control. At the end of the day, advice about discipline and moderation sounds simple, but actually applying it in real life is the hard part.
