Topic: Between Physical and Online Gambling which makes a person more addicted - page 2. (Read 518 times)

Logically I'd say online gambling is more addictive simply because it is more convenient and accessible to all times and settings as long as there is an internet connection and as long as servers won't be restricted for gambling sites. Actually there are articles supporting this claim that gamblers are more prone to addiction in this platform.
The only thing I guess which keeps gamblers playing in casino is the unique experience of being face to face with other gamblers which gives thrill and better experience, however as mentioned above, you won't always have time to visit casinos not to mention that there are countries wherein heightened restrictions are present which is another factor when it comes on exposure and addiction ratio.
Well on my end, I first tried online gambling. The idea of seeing players smoking and being crowded, already left me an impression if I would go playing in online casino. Also, the game that I am most of the time enjoying is sportsbetting which I guess is another factor that I consider 'coz most of the landbased casinos aren't offering such kind of gambling category. But indeed there is a huge difference; given that one is easier to access makes sense to say that it is more likely to be addictive.

Something that definitely goes against common sense if they are always ready to risk large amounts to prove themselves right.

It is impossible for gamblers to get rich from their gambling activities. When their discussion has widened, don't lecture them because they don't care and don't need it.
They have been instigated by bad thoughts. If you are a gambler, consider gambling for fun, to test your luck without having to force it when you are in a good state of mind.
I will not forbid people from gambling because I have also gambled even though I am not an addict.


Both are the same. Can make people addicted.

If you are a physical casino player, I think it will be hard for you to switch playing online permanently. There is that, you will miss your old hang-out place, your co-gamblers, the management, and others... . And how can you say that it's hard to keep up playing in a physical casino? What if our house is only near from it? And then the casino also operates 24/7? They are direct to the point in fact. While in online, we still need to travel to a store that supports e-money deposits and then deposit the money again to the casino.

There are still other inconveniences that can happen, like high fees and delayed transactions. I'm no way of hating it but I just tell what I experience.

We are witnessing online gambling emerges as a dynamic industry that thrives on a part of advanced technology. The world of internet gambling is not all doom and gloom, but it's a testament to the transformative power of technology in entertainment. The digital landscape hosts a plethora of games that is far surpassing the limited options available in physical casinos. Enthusiasts can indulge in everything from live poker to the adrenaline rush of virtual slot machines, all from the comfort of their own couch.

The accessibility and variety contribute to the liveliness of online gambling that attracts a diverse range of players with different preferences and tastes. The excitement of placing bets and the anticipation of a favorable outcome create an exhilarating experience that transcends the boundaries of traditional brick-and-mortar casinos. The online gambling world becomes a virtual arena where people can test their luck and strategy that add an extra excitement to the entire gaming experience.

Start with physical gambling then experience online gambling, that's the most general way people learn about gambling because online can only arrange certain games, it also requires players to know relatively, besides it also requires equipment and rules that are also not identical to physical gambling, being incomplete and just a miniature version is a disadvantage but the advantage is being able to take advantage of time anywhere. Physical gambling does not have any delaying activities, so I feel that the seeds of addiction are more easily planted here.

If they can gamble responsibly, they will avoid gambling addiction and can enjoy gambling as entertainment. That is our goal in gambling, so we must be able to control ourselves well. Indeed, online gambling can make us addicted to gambling easily because of the convenience we get, such as gambling wherever we want and using various devices such as smartphones, tablets, computers, or laptops. And what most gamblers do is gamble using their smartphone, especially if they are outside the house and want to gamble in their free time. This makes it very easy for them to be able to immediately play gambling anywhere so that they may become addicted to gambling faster than other people. But it will depend on how good their self-control is because by having good self-control, they will not be tempted by anything.

Agree since all will matter on how they approach on everything they experience. Its not all about gambling but let's ride up to the flow of discussion since maybe they are really pointing out that online casino is more higher chance for a people to get addicted with it since the accessibility is really great since anyone can gamble on any place they want or what situation they are experiencing on.

Unlike on physical casino where people need to spend time to go on those extravagant casino and although the vibes is so different still a gambler would think about going there since it might cost them a lot of time and effort before they can gamble also they get shy to bet small amounts since people usually go there are those rich individual that's why maybe the reason on why they might think twice to go back there.

Gambling has its own ways of controlling people it must not be online or offline when you focused your attention on one parts then you will see that your thinking will be channeled to that area, let say if you love using online gambling platform by using btc or any other altcoin to gamble you will remain and where no third party will have to know how regularly and how often you do gamble even though if you are addicted gambler no one will tell.

But for the physical shop or local betting shop you will meet all manners of people because you are handling the whole stuff all you need to do is just to meet operator who is in charge and give her you booklet to input your games after she will print a copy for you and then you leave, when you constantly visit there people will start looking at you as an irresponsible gambler or an addicted gambler who can't stay a day without gambling. In summary both can make you an addicted gambler it depends on how you control your greed level to remain a responsible gambler.

Online gambling is more addictive from my own point of view unlike physical gambling, I think the fact that a gambler gambling anonymously would create an avenue to become addicted because there wouldn't be any check on the gambler, I always feel unease and in discomfort because of people who knew me might feel disappointed that I am into gambling whenever I visit any physical gambling shop that is why I won't get addicted to gambling because I would have limited my appearance to the shop or always go to the shop once in a while that is if there is no online gambling sites, however with online gambling I can place as many bet as possible until getting addicted.

It's not much of online gambling or the physical gambling casinos that are present, but how individual gamblers were able to make use of them to gamble and get the best satisfaction in them by gambling responsibly or doing otherwise, do what are they ways we approach gambling both in physical and online, how do we behave, what are the things we do and we shouldn't have done when gambling, if we can deal with ourselves, there may be no reason for gambling addiction at the first place.

Definitely.

Gambling can really destroy a person's life whether it may be online or physical casino. It knows no place or platform. Unlike a player who is sane enough to know and how to establish the boundaries in playing and betting. So it's really a you responsibility. You are responsible to your own decisions and actions that will constitute into either something good or bad outcome.

Although yes, I also agree that access is still a huge factor. It plays a vital role in being able to place bets. But it's also important to note that discipline is above everything. If you can control your urges to temptations, you can limit your gambling activity and gambling interaction.

I would say physical gambling can be tempting to be addicted with this kind of attitude where your friend has found every aspect of live to be gambling with it but at the same time it is the type of gambling that he understands, like he does physical gambling and not online likewise others can do online gambling far more addicted than does in physical gambling.

In other words it depends on the type of preference for gambling, whether online or physical, you can be an addict if you don't control yourself because some other gamblers online are addicted to their phone logging in to their gambling account every now and then playing. I think the course for that is greed, when you want to make money.

For me, both are the same regarding the addiction that players will feel. But it depends on the player to control themselves so they don't end up in a position of addiction.

Addiction will be felt when the player has run out of money. If the gambling game is played physically or what I call traditional gambling, he will realize when the money and all the capital he has brought run out. If he can't control his anger, maybe he will return to playing with new capital. This can also happen in online gambling types. You will feel addicted when the balance in your account runs out.
In fact, the two types of gambling are equally addictive.
The solution is to gamble responsibly.

Back in the days when Online casinos are still not available people tend to be addicted in local gambling sites , those who offered local games.

but now that there is online in which easier to access and easy to understand? yes it is more addicted now having enough time to spend and no need to bring physical money.

Well, basically whether it's online or physical gambling, I still think that all gambling always has the potential for addiction for anyone, and for the problem of whether they will get addicted or not it really depends on their personality on how they address and treat their gambling activities. As you said it's true that wherever we gamble if we don't have good self-control and boundaries then obviously whether you gamble in online or physical casinos both always have the possibility to end up with addiction.

Honestly on this issue I wouldn't look at whether they can only gamble in online or physical casinos, the main point is that if they can't control themselves and their emotions then as we discussed above that the possibility of addiction can always happen.

I think this always depends on someone's preferences and behavior towards gambling. Online or offline it does have the same results when one has no control of their emotions and are not responsible gamblers. Though not all type of gamblers are able to gamble online but it is still addictive and I have heard sad and victorius stories of gamblers online. Offline or physical gambling is a safe haven to most low budget gamblers in my observation.

There are lots of positive activities that can be done to avoid gambling addiction, that's why it's important to have a job or other hobby activity besides gambling, not all the fun things are in gambling and don't just gamble to entertain yourself, the point is to do the best thing for you. divert your thoughts and views from gambling when you start to realize you are addicted.

Online and physical casinos can both be addictive if the gambler can't really control himself, especially if he spends too much time gambling, he will definitely get addicted easily, gambling has to have limits on when to gamble and when to stop gambling, that's very It is important therefore not to spend too long playing gambling, giving time to do other more positive activities will help avoid gambling addiction. 

Both can be addictive. Because basically people are addicted to gambling because they feel they have to win at the game.
The more money they lose, the crazier they become addicted to gambling. Because their goal is revenge to win, this is something that will never end.
Including using all means to find gambling capital. Their lives will clearly be chaotic, because all that is on their minds is gambling.

Try to invite him to do more positive activities, for example sports so that his thoughts can be separated. Because gambling addiction can persist for years.

When someone is addicted to gambling, he will not be able to handle himself because all that is on his mind is the desire to continue gambling and there is nothing else on his mind. Maybe he doesn't even care about himself or the people around him, his family. He will be busy with himself and gamble more often than interacting with others around him. This has become a serious gambling addiction where he can no longer think clearly that what he does in gambling has changed him completely.

He can be lucky when people around him come and warn him and even help him to get out of his gambling activities so that he can realize that he has made a fatal mistake. From there, help from other people can begin to be seen by him because he will feel that he has to start changing and get back on the right track. So whatever the casino, physical or online casino, it can still make someone addicted to gambling and there is a possibility that it is even worse for people who are addicted to online gambling because they can gamble wherever they want.

Physical casinos still have some restrictions on underage gamblers, which online casinos may not possess. Not all physical casinos operate 24 hours, unlike online casinos where people have 24 hours of access each day and can gamble in the comfort of their home. I understand the fun of participating in comps on physical casinos. But the important aspect of these comp clubs aside from free room or food, most of them are responsible gamblers. Those compliments aren't enough to make them addicted gamblers, but they can be gambling consistently. Online casinos have a high rate of addicted gamblers and minors who use the platform. Physical casinos have the feeling of playing with real humans and at some point, one gets weak and would want to go home. The physical casino settings are quite great in deceiving people to continue, even when the time and odds are against them. But, at some point, the gambler has the urge to sleep or go home. While traveling home he'd have a rethink on his gambling action if he made good decisions or predictions.

The online players don't have much time for reflection. They can only play till they fall asleep and then begin first thing in the morning. Due to the availability of the game. Not saying that offline casinos don't produce addicts, many of them get worse and play all their money at a go. Addiction to a physical casino can be too stressful compared to an online casino. Because the first name would be sticking around the casino each time their money is exhausted and runs immediately to the casino to gamble if he gains money. The healing process can be difficult too, compared to the online casino who would be around his home struggling with addiction. With the rate of internet users and online casino players, people who gamble online spend more time in, the same way they do on social media. From the statistics of online gambling precautions circulating online, it's certain to say that online gambling has produced more addicts recently than physical casinos.
