Topic: Between Physical and Online Gambling which makes a person more addicted - page 3. (Read 492 times)

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.

Compared to physical gambling, online gambling accounts for more gambling addicts, the reason is simple because online gambling can be done anywhere, even when you are far from home, as long as you can connect to the internet then there will be no difficulties for you to play gambling, and various kinds of online gambling games also provide various addictions, there are also those who say that online gambling has extraordinary appeal, especially slot games, but it all comes back to each individual.

It is unlikely that a person will have a house very close to a physical casino, which means that for most people to be able to play in a physical casino they need to have a car to get to the physical casino and this is very difficult because the physical casino has opening hours and there are days when they are closed, so people don't play in physical casinos every day, especially people who have jobs, so it is very difficult to see many people who frequent physical casinos becoming addicted to gambling. These are very rare cases, I don't know if your friend has a job, I don't know if he's already been to see a doctor to find out if he's addicted to gambling or not, but I highly doubt that he plays every day in the physical casino

I also highly doubt that he will lose everything he has in physical casinos, this is because in physical casinos there is much more government control, so people play in moderation. Your friend may spend a lot of time talking about casinos, this does not mean that he is addicted to gambling. Now when it comes to online casinos the situation becomes very complicated, because it is very easy to have access to an online casino, and online casinos operate every day and at any time, meaning that many people can spend all day playing and the chances of becoming addicted are very high

In the online casino, players don't talk to anyone, which leads many people to become much more focused on the game and forget that there is life in the real world and that they need to interact with other people in the real world, as a result of which people isolate themselves from the society to stay in their room playing games, these people get depressed, they become addicted to games. So this comparison between physical casino and online casino is easy to see which one is more likely to make people addicted

The online gambling was the favourite for many gambler because of many things like gambling winning will credited to the gamblers instantly after the winning.The gamblers no need to argue with the gambling site after the winning in the gambling site.The gamblers can check their game in the data base provided by the gambling site.The gambling give us money and the entertainment to have fun without any other friends to involve for the game.For the physical gambling,we need to bring our friends and sponsor for them.But the online gambling can be played along the world player without any delay.

I am sure that online gambling is much more addictive, this is because online gambling is easier and can be played anywhere and privacy is much safer than physical, it is also more cost effective than going to a casino building which definitely costs a lot of money. Apart from gambling, we are definitely provided with other entertainment that makes us happy. we spend money immediately. I think if it concerns addiction both can be addictive. I hope doing more positive things outside of gambling is the solution to all of this.

Physical Gambling for sure. Here's why:

Online Casinos are enticing sure, but most of them offer nothing but visual appeal as well as the perks that they give out to their users (free spins, etc.) that eventually run out or expires. So when these amenities go away, I think I speak for everyone when I say we get this sudden realization that we should be doing even more important things than sinking hours into an online casino. On the other hand, this doesn't happen in a brick-and-mortal gambling institution. First off, you're enclosed in a secure space where it's just as hard to get in as it is to get out. They offer stuff like free drinks, free hotel stays, or whatever to some customers they deem are bleeders to make them stay even more within the casino. Lights are so bright so as to make sure you don't fall asleep or to disrupt your sense of time, and as far as I can remember the perks that they offer to their customers, new and existing, do not go away. So in the grander scheme of things Physical Casinos have a better capability to lure and secure customers for longer than online casinos, which apart from those things got its convenience feature as the only things that really set it apart from their physical counterparts.

I think online kind of gambling is more difficult to stop compared to physical gambling. In physical gambling, one will need to visit a casino or betting shop just to bet. If we don't have the opportunity to go to a place where we can bet, we may not be able to make the bet. We can easily get addicted to gambling through betting online wife we are not disciplined when gambling. Since the emergence of cryptocurrency, people had been taking a easy step to gamble without the need to use fiat to fund account. Cryptocurrency had contributed to the expansion of gambling and along the way more gamblers are getting addicted.

I think online gambling is the most addictive for sure, due to how someone has the comfort of gambling even from their bed, being able to hide it more easily also.

But honestly even the less versatile physical gambling can be very addictive and many people that are not familiar with the internet have fallen victim to it. So if someone really wants to gamble, he'll find a way.

The best measures to help with addiction imo is measures for someone to get help after they see their addiction and want to get off the hook

and that means, it depends also in what circumstances the gambler is in. if he is very near with an offline casino, the chances of getting addicted is high especially if he doesn't have always connection over the net. whereas, if the gambler has very good internet connection at home 24/7 and very far from a land based casino, the chance of getting addicted on online gambling is definitely high.

so in the above cases, it shows that there's no absolute answer to this question. as there are several factors in play why a certain gambler can eventually be addicted. i believe, below are some factors that can influence the gambling addiction of the gambler :
- vicinity / ease of access to the gambling area / site
- financial status / financial troubles
- peer pressure / family or friend influence
- state of mind / mental health issues
- if you're taking some sort of medication / drug causing compulsive behaviour
- social media influence / promotional click baits
- influence of your favourite celebrity/icon/idol/athlete

Both physical and online gambling are not much of a difference when it comes to addiction, although it can sometimes be due to preference.
Gambling addiction is not driven by the fact of if it is either online or offline.The drive gamblers get is as a result of high hopes in making wins rather than loses.
Gambling would then be seen as addiction in a person once he stakes more like he has nothing to lose.this addiction is not mainly as a result of the medium but rather as a result of habit.

Comfort is a drug and is very addictive, due to the comfort and ease that it provides. Online casinos generally offer ease of access from anywhere provided that you have an internet access. Physical casinos and gambling places maybe comfortable and easy depending on the distance and location of the place from your home. If it is close to you, there will be ease, if it isn't then it becomes difficult and may affect your decision to gamble always.

Before online gambling, there always have been addicts to gambling. Online gambling merely increased the chances of being addicted and then also the number of persons who can get addicted.

Both of them can cause a person to become addicted to gambling but if we have to make a comparison between them I think the share of online gambling services is greater. The reason I think this way is that accessing online gambling services is much easier. For example, I think that fewer users gamble and may become addicted to physical casinos than online casinos because a physical casino isn't easily accessible to many people and they have to constantly go to the casino. Since there is no casino in the area a person cannot go to the casino all the time but he/she can access online casino services whenever and wherever he/she wants. This causes online casino services to be preferred more and therefore causes more people to become addicted to gambling by using online casino services compared to physical casinos.

In addition to all this, especially individuals who are addicted to gambling can access online casino services whenever they want so they can spend more time and money on online casino services compared to the time and money spent in physical casinos. For example, you can access online casinos at any time during the day while watching TV, sitting at home, lying in bed or smoking but people aren't as comfortable accessing physical casinos. So, I think it is possible and correct to state that fewer people are addicted to gambling in physical casinos if we have to make a comparison because it is easier to access online casino services.

In physical gambling, the player is influenced by the environment, various special tricks that encourage the player to bet again and again. In online gambling, the amount of loss can be limited, there is no special atmosphere. Therefore, addiction to physical gambling is much more dangerous

I am not an expert in gambling addiction of the development of gambling addiction, but if I had to guess on it I would say online gambling or online casinos are more effective when comes to get people hooked to them, so making it easier for gamblers to become addicted.
It has much to do with the availability of those casinos, compared to those casinos which are classic brick and mortar ones.
If there was only brick and mortar casinos like back in the old times, people had to get out their ways in order to gamble, they would need to plan beforehand and get the money in fiat before going there.
Though, thanks to online casinos people can basically wager money while their are in their homes, in the subway, during a travel in a train, as long as they have mobile signal, they can test their luck.

The only advantage I believe those brick and mortar casinos have over the online ones is one they can use other stimuli to hook their gamblers, like food, smells/scents and some perks for those who gamble big enough.
Whatever one prefer to gamble and where, the important thing is to do it responsibly and do not get carried enough to get dependent on wagering money.

Merry Christmas.

    It is because online gambling just any form of gambling happens to give its players reasons to keep playing. The possibility of winning a large sum of money is a major motivator for online gamblers to return to the casino and play casino games repeatedly. The winning possibilities are one great reason to make online gambling addictive. Without this major motivator, gamblers would not be wasting time returning frequently to the casino website. Aside from that, games in online casinos are also entertaining and addictive. It causes its players to become addicted to online gambling.
   Therefore, these gamblers keep playing and returning back to the game over and over again. All because these casino games give their players fun and thrill. For me, casino games are the second factor in why we see online gambling can cause addiction in its gamblers. Therefore, if you have no control over your behavior when you visit online platforms like JeetWin and others. You would not be able to maintain responsible gambling. Therefore, you must have a set of rules or restrictions whenever you gamble online or even in land-based casinos. This way, you would not over gamble at the same time you will not develop a gambling problem like an addiction. Best if you have winning and losing limits whenever you gamble online. This way, you will not have reasons to gamble for more. Or better set a gambling time for your casino sessions.

Yeah actually for me I think the only gambling that has so much influence on people to easily become an addict is the online gambling because online gambling is very easy and doesn't involve stress all you need is just to log in and place your bet, so in most cases is very easy for someone to become an addict because if you fund your account with a lot of money there is every tendency that you can easily be tempted to play more game even if you have lost so many games and perhaps through that method someone could easily become an addict without even knowing.

While non online gambling tend to be a bit difficult for someone to become an addict because if the betting shop is a bit far from your house you will find it very difficult to visit gambling shop more than two times a day so with that it reduces or regulate  your gambling activities so perhaps even if you will become an addict but it will surely take time than online gambling were you can easily access the betting platform anytime.

Probably you have an easy access to the casino that’s why you feel that way. I knew that some casino offer a transportation service from a certain pick up point to the casino that makes traveling to casino more convenient. It’s different for people that too far from casino like me. I manage to enter and play to an IRL casino here when I come with my boss from office. The game is really addictive but since I can’t go there easily, I never become addicted.

I believe it’s a case to case basis with regards on how convenient IRL casino is but the game on physical form is really more addictive than the online version.

I disagree with you here. You can't say they are similar and still say they have some differences, you are on the contrary contradicting yourself. IMO, online gambling can make you more addicted. This is because you have close access to your gambling platform if you want to gamble anytime you can take out your phone open the site and start gambling. While physical gambling you have to go to the location before you can be gambling so at times you may not have the physical strength to go out so you would just stay at home.
