It does depend on which between physical and online gambling a user prefers, because the potential of a user being more addicted to online gambling many at times is in direct correlation to how close or glued one is to their devices.

When We speak of the computer and AI age, we forget it's already here. Certain addictions are mere attributes of the habits formed from using these new emerging innovations in technology, so I wouldn't blame anyone who finds gambling online more preferred and convenient and has developed a habit from gambling online knowingly or unknowingly.

I would also like to think that the vicinity where one resides can be of radical influence in the decision to gamble offline or online.

To me online gambling can make one easily addicted to gambling than physical gambling (going to a gambling hall or shop) because sometimes you might be too occupied to go to a gambling hall to stake a bet so you can just relax and maybe wait till you're less busy before going out to play but online gambling means you're always glued to gambling sites and at all time you will be checking your gambling activities that's how you will be spending much time and money because since you're gambling online, you can place random bets and if the bet doesn't play you can still fund your account online using online banking platforms that gives you access to use the money in your banking platforms to fund your gambling accounts thereby even if you maybe busy sometimes to place bet but at any little opportunity you have you will just log in online and begin to place bets, so online gambling makes one become a gambling addict more than going to gambling shops to place bets.

It's good to hear you're looking out for your buddy.  Gambling addiction is no joke and can mess up someone's life real fast.  Both betting at the casino or online can get outta hand if youre not careful and  thing is, online gambling makes it way too easy to lose track of time and money.  Those sites keep you glued to the screen chasing wins, and before you know it, your bank account's cleaned out.   

You gotta have a heart-to-heart with your friend if you think they've got a problem.  And don't be shy about pushing them to get professional help either.  Your buddy might not wanna hear it but reaching out could save their life.  With some support, they can kick this thing.

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.

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?
