I have been wondering with a little doubt in me between Physical and Online Gambling which makes a person prone to being addicted cause I have this friend of mine who doesn't know how to gamble online but when it comes to physical gambling he does it without compromising any of the consequences before hands.

Now it has made every little discussion that leads to argument an avenue to gamble, always ready to stake huge amount just to prove himself right. I consider this being addiction and I am always advising him to drop this lifestyle.

Do you think Online Gambling has the worst potential of making a person addicted?

Whether online or physical, each can amount to addiction. People loves physical gambling because they don't like online gambling or they aren't used to it and that's why you see people going to physical gambling platform but I think it's people that aren't computer literate or don't have good device rgat stress their body and energy to physical gambling when your phone can do all the type of gambling, whether it's casino games you like or sport betting, your phone should aid your gambling style.

Addiction has nothing to do with physical, it's an individual thing. Gamblers with addictions has something in common and that's not stopping when it's due, they will try as much as many ways to win and when the bankroll is exhausted, they look for alternatives to sort out ways to have another money to deposit and when that one doesn't yield anything, you still want to try hard with aim to recover the previous loss from the recent games but deep down, you can't win anything because gambling is an events you know the outcome.

Definitely the answer is online gambling due to accessibility. This beats every other contradicting point that anyone can make, like the one that physical casinos make you stay there longer by giving you free drinks, even rooms to get some sleep, but that's nothing when you compare it to the online experience. In an online casino you enter whenever you want, you can play from your bed, or your bathroom. You can gamble while eating dinner or commuting. It fills every free moment of your time if you only let it. That's what gets you addicted.

I will speak base on my own experience. I think physical gambling has the more tendency to make someone more addicted. When I was gambling in a physical gambling store, when it's that particular time I usually go to that office and I don't find myself there, I will be restless until I go to the gambling hall. And when I get there I find it very difficult to go home. But it wasn't like that when I started gambling online.

There are addicts online and there's also an addict in physical casinos so it's hard to tell which one makes the person more addicted.
I think regardless of the platform you choose if you're too emotional and don't know how to control yourself then you can become addict.
I know someone who are playing both online and in physical casinos, and he became an addict, Its hard to tell who contribute the most but it is still gambling and the result is still the same for that guy.

In this present generation, I don't know if many people have played or still playing at physical casinos, the lure and the best platform is online casinos because everybody now has a mobile cellphone everyone can just play anytime, anywhere, and at any circumstance, I even know a guy who's playing while waiting to be operated, more gamblers are playing in online casinos than any physical casinos, physical casinos are now relegated for tourism and the rich and famous, but if you're an average gambler online casinos fits you.

Not all places and regions have a physical casino, including where I live there is no such thing as a physical casino and when I want to gamble at a physical casino, I have to go out of town. So I gamble more often at online casinos than at physical casinos, as do the people around me. But long before online casinos existed, people gambled with friends or went to a shop to buy lotteries and other bets.

So in conclusion, because of limited access, people in my area do a lot of their gambling online or play with their friends. With so many people involved in online gambling, it is possible that many of the people in my area are addicted to online gambling.

If we are talking the gambling games alone then they have the same effect on gamblers since they are using same gambling games. The only difference is the convenience of playing which makes online gambling more of an advantage on making someone addicted because player can easily play whenever they want unlike physical casino that requires travel especially if you live far from the casino.

But if we compared only using the effect of the gambling games alone, they have same tendency on making people addicted because greediness on making more money makes people addicted and not the casino alone.

Between Physical and Online Gambling which makes a person more addicted and Do you think Online Gambling has the worst potential of making a person addicted? Both gambling online or offline can make you addict if you cannot control it.

In my country, there is plenty of traditional games like chicken fights that end up as offline gambling you need a lot of money to make your chicken is ready to fight and win and if you cannot stop it you will be addicted too. Online gambling like slot or plinko is very fast game you don't have budget for it you gonna loss too.

Yes, online gambling is more prone to addiction because of the ease of access. You can play literally anywhere. It can be accessed through a smartphone and you can play anywhere you go with just the internet as your weapon and some cryptocurrency as your betting option. It doesn't need to be hard cash which also makes it easier for people to gamble. One bank account can also make it possible and considering how credit cards have triumphed over the financial industry, gamblers could use that as their means to gamble more.
Also, you can do it at ease at home and you don't even need to dress up and make an effort to go to a physical casino. The only good thing about being in a casino is the fun of being around gamblers and players. But for a person who has been gambling for a long time, I don't they will mind that. They'd probably would rather be alone in their room than be on a physical gambling site and it makes not much of a difference.

Yes, it's just like you said. Nowadays, gambling has applied high technology, and playing online is very simple. Anytime, anywhere, you only need a mobile phone or computer to play. It easily attracts many players and is difficult to control and detect. Even children can play. It is truly a place for gambling addicts. Don't simply gamble for entertainment like traditional gambling. This may be a concern, but I fear children will become addicted to online gambling. The government should step in to strictly regulate online gambling.

This is why there are a lot of online casinos vying to have a piece of the market, the operators that there's a big shift going on, they are shifting from physical casinos to online casinos, it's easy to get addicted to gambling when you first play here, and even if you're playing in a physical casinos you have to schedule your visit because of the hours of commuting, compared to online where you just open your cellphone or laptop and you can play right away.
People can hide their gambling activity, they will not feel guilty, and they don't have to justify their gambling activities because they are away from the prying eyes and judgment of other people.
That's one of the lures of playing online you are on your own, you do not have to explain to people and people will have no idea that you are into gambling, sensitive people prefer online casinos because they hate criticism, which they surely get if they are playing in a platform that will expose them.

I think online gambling is more addictive than actual gambling. Easy access, anonymity. Online gambling is available 24/7 on any devices. This accessibility can quickly turn a casual habit into an obsessive urge. A coworker started with online poker; it was convenient, but the pleasure of simple access overcame his self-control. Unlike physical casinos, there's no one to observe or intervene.

Your friend's case seems to arise from a wish to prove himself right. This can lead to physical or online gambling. Not just gambling, but the psychological pleasure of winning an argument or bet fuels addiction.

Help your pal set limits. Teach him ethical gambling like setting time and money limitations. Instead of condemning gambling, promote a healthy relationship. Preventing hobby addiction requires education and self-awareness.

Do you think Online Gambling has the worst potential of making a person addicted?

Gambling addiction is not really the product of the type of betting but the behaviour of the gambler. You can be addicted to any form of gambling if you fail to control your gambling activities. I have seen many people who are always in physical gambling because they see betting as a major source of income. They will prefer to spend most of their time analysing games instead of putting them into profitable ventures.

However, there are reports that since online gambling is easy to access and is always available at all times of the day, it could have a higher chance of leading to addiction. Physical gambling shops usually have closing hours and you have to go to the shop to place your bet. But this is not the case with online betting because you can place a bet in the comfort of your home at any given time of the day.

Online gambling can also be hidden from people, which could also fuel gambling addiction. One can easily identify a gambling addict that visits a physical casino and he could be counseled on how to control his negative behavior. But this is not the case with online gambling because it could be hidden from even relatives and friends.

Do you think Online Gambling has the worst potential of making a person addicted?

Gambling is gambling. whether you do it online, locally, or in person. If you put money into a game expecting to get more in return, you're a gambler. Addiction becomes a problem when people take gambling too seriously and forget that it's just meant to be a fun game. When I visit my local gambling spot, I see different gamblers with various strategies and personalities. Sometimes they argue, fight, or complain about losing which makes me prefer the online gambling more.

Online gambling is similar to in-person gambling, but the difference is you do it on the Internet, with more game options. However, the risk of addiction remains if you can't control yourself. It's important to remember that gambling should be about enjoyment, not just chasing winnings.

I think people will be more prone to addiction when gambling online. That is for the reason that it's easier to fund online gambling and you can gamble anytime and anywhere you want, so as it is so convinient, we are more expose to gambling. That's why we have to be responsible enough as in this generation, everything can be mostly done online, in fact, even kids nowadays can already learn to gamble online since some of the gambling sites doesn't recquire a KYC information and documents.

But please, be responsible, gambling is just a tool, if we make a mistake and get addicted, it's always on us, don't blame gambling on that but blame yourself for being irresponsible, that's very simple.

There is no difference between the two, whether it is a physical casino or an online casino. In my opinion, as long as it is played excessively and irresponsibly, you will definitely get addicted easily, it is difficult to cure gambling addiction, therefore, don't let this bad habit drag on as long as you can reduce and stop it. It's best to stop and reduce it slowly because in the end it won't have a good impact on yourself.

I also have a friend whose life is used to his cell phone so it is difficult to stop his gambling addiction because every time he holds his cell phone he makes a deposit and gambles at an online casino, bad habits are hard to break but it comes back to yourself, the point is never to overdo it in good gambling. in physical or online casinos, always limit yourself and limit any budget for gambling.

Both can be addictive. Lives are destroyed by both online and offline gambling. But I guess the factor that plays the most vital role is access. You cannot be in a brick-and-mortar casino all the time. At some point, you will have to leave; go home, go to work, attend to some other important things. Or the casino itself is closing. With an online casino, you can gamble anywhere anytime. You can easily multi-task. I have friends who gamble on their mobile phones while working.

A reasonable point, basically it is true that regardless of the type of gambling whether it is physical or online still all gambling has the potential for addiction, the logic is if there is no addiction doesn't the casino have the possibility to go bankrupt? because even though people come only to seek pleasure but basically there are still quite a lot of other things that can also provide pleasure and entertainment while they are more involved in activities that inevitably require them to take risks even if they are small.

And if we talk about which casino has more potential to make someone addicted, obviously the answer is online casinos, as you said the statement that if there is an easy one then why choose a difficult one? I mean in terms of accessing it, because obviously there are significant differences and one example is that it is unlikely that someone will spend all day in a physical casino, there are still many other things or activities that they certainly have to do like some of the examples you mentioned. While online casinos provide all the convenience to every gambler who wants to get involved, only with a gadget and internet network then you can get involved there.

Both online and offline gambling do posses the power to make someone addicted to gambling, but on the other hand, if I must chose one, I did say that, online gambling creates worster gambling addicts than offline gambling.

With the presence of this technology now, not very many youths still do offline gambling except in areas where internet connection is a huge problem, or the gambler is question is not learned well enough to properly navigate through online casinos and play.

I know the above because, I do have a friend a long time ago who was a gambling addict, he never have played on online casinos though, he was mainly always playing on offline casinos and he was so so addicted to gambling, reason he only played on offline casinos is because he is not learned well enough like I stated in my example above, so this limited his gambling quest to offline casinos alone, but he still got addicted.

So yeah, both online and offline gambling have the potential to lead a gambler into gambling addiction, but online gambling produces addicts that are worst and severe in their addiction.

Both are gambling, either online or offline it makes no difference, and I won't advice you to get addicted to any, the damage that online casinos can do to you is the same as the damage that offline casinos can do to you.

If you want to make crazy money it will take time, accept this fact of life growth, if you plan to go faster you will crash, making money will take time because it's normal, it's the right path, every fast way to make money also have big disadvantages, like getting you addicted because you believe that you can make life changing money.

If you know yourself too well you should be able to figure out if you can cope with gambling, some people get addicted to everything they came in contact with, either businesses or entertainment, such people won't do well in gambling, they will get addcited easily.

It's probably online gambling seeing how it's more accessible to more people due to high volume of population having a smartphone or two and the fact that online casinos and other online gambling are more convenient since you don't need to commute or drive to the physical casino, you can gamble at the comfort of your own home. Those 2 factors that I've mentioned are what I believed to be the reason why I think online gambling have more addicts than the physical one and I don't think that it's not far fetch that it's the truth because logically you'll reach out for the fastest way that can get you relief and pleasure in nature so applying that logic, then online gambling seems to fit that criteria in the logic.
