It's 2022 already, you can almost access anything through internet. So, moving in environment without gamblers won't change you that much. Unless you completely stop yourself from using internet (which is nearly impossible to do) and focus on something profitable. Of course, the amount should be decent or near what you are aiming in gambling so it can satisfy your craving in profit.
so far the gambling place as a user is a place of entertainment and with gambling you can get a lot of money when you receive luck, some people who are technology savvy and often surf the internet, they must have tasted the world of gambling with various models, and it is proven from year to year Gambling sites on the internet have a high demand.

You will agree with me that society and the environment can have a great influence on the lifestyle of every individual, you often can find yourself doing, or being involved in that activity that almost everyone is involved with in that your locale as a result of influence. Now considering someone who is a gambling addict, is there any possibility of him/her becoming better if they are relocated to another environment or society where people around are not involved in gambling?
Can someone still develop the habit of gambling and become an addict even though no one around gambles?

Science has already proven that the environment has something to do with how human shape the way he thinks and the way he lives, take the man who lives in the Himalayans and the man who lives or work in Las Vegas Nevada who do you think will likely fall into gambling the answer is pretty obvious, what we see hear and feel on our surroundings will have an impact on how we behave and how we treat our environment, about the question yes it's proven science has proven it.

Transferring an addict to another place without his own will is actually quite risky in my opinion unless he really has the will to do it.
Addicts must prefer to stay in an environment that is familiar with gambling. I doubt if any addict wants to move as his own will. Moving the addicts to an environment that is far from gambling should have a proper way. We can coax him slowly, ensure him that it is the best way for him. I am sure the addicts will understand finally, they know that it is hard to move to a new environment but it is a must. 
Idle hands pretty much, thats your best theory; occupy yourself will help avoid the compulsion to gamble. If you are that driven towards only one thing then you must accelerate in a different direction, doing nothing would be the worst thing for some people as they will slide towards what they know which is the wrong thing for them.
Exactly, keep yourself occupy and not to allow that same idea that already polluting you, the essence of keep yourself busy will set you free from thinking your gambling strategies. And if you don't have any relative activities that may push you back, the chance that you will forget those old things is very possible, our body and minds are adoptable to the nature that they are getting from the current venue that they've got.
Be wise to take that time to fulfilling your intentions of changing the directions of your addictions. If you have that willingness, it won't be hard to remove it from you when you are faraway from any gambling related activities.
If he doesn't get anything like mobile internet then he will definitely be fresh but if he takes mobile then I will never believe that he will not gamble. Whenever a person at work, he doesn't give attention to the other side. However, the environmental situation does not change people in a moment, but after a long time it changes automatically. In that case, the environment must be important.
We're live on 21th century where mobile phones and internet are really important to our activities, without phones and internet we wouldn't know any recent news except you watch TV a whole of your days. Phones and internet do have a lot advantages and disadvantages, but completely not use it will make you live harder than before.Don't blame the technology, but blame the user who can't control himself.

If the gambling addiction is already serious, although a new environment may be a good factor to consider but still his addiction should still be treated with a medical practitioner. Otherwise, he will still find means to gamble either online or in local casinos.Can someone still develop the habit of gambling and become an addict even though no one around gambles?
However, having no gamblers around to gamble with won't give a full guarantee that you won't be a gambler anymore and become an addict. Technology has brought us at the expense of our homes and we can just play 24/7 gambling online. As long as there is money to finance, everyone is prone to develop the habit of gambling.

Yes. The urge to gamble for a gambler will be as strong as any bad vice. Change of environment can affect a person's internal system and will have to take a period of time to adapt. But for a gambler, he only needs to have a little cash and he's on his way to looking for a casino or a bet shop. Can someone still develop the habit of gambling and become an addict even though no one around gambles?
because like me as a gambling addict it is very difficult to stop gambling. when i have no money i will quit gambling, but when i have more money, i will return to gambling to betting my money again.
There are different types of gambling addicts, there are some that will not have money and will not gambling until they have money, but there are even worse ones that do not have money but can borrow because of gambling, if such people have property, they can even sell it.so even if we become gambling addicts, we should not be willing to borrow money from other people or sell valuables to play gambling.
When someone is addicted to gambling, they no longer need friends to influence them to gamble because when they are addicted to gambling, they will influence other people and even themselves. Also, no matter how far away gambling addicts are in a new environment, as long as they still have internet access with their smartphone, they will continue to gamble. Unless the settlement doesn't have internet access and he's not allowed to own a smartphone, then that's an environment that might help him get out of gambling. But believe me, every corner of the area at this time I think no one is really free from gambling, because usually in remote areas there will be very much found about cockfighting gambling.
we have always seen in the movies that once a hero or heroine is upset - they move to other location. Change the city or the country and try to get adjusted there. Because new place brings in more challenges. And one try to forget what he/she has done in the past. If they are really adment to bring change in themselves.

Sure. Bring this someone to an isolated fishing village with nothing and in a week he will become a fisherman. Its going to change his activity within a day and although he may miss gambling, he might not find someone who'd play with him. The last thing he may just be doing is watch TV to replace the entertainment he was used to.
This is reflects to who his companions are just as the phrase "tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are". Your friends are part of your environment.

Environment has its own influence on people but you personal have to allow that happen before it happens to you. You can live in a neighborhood of crack dealers and not be addicted to cocaine. A part of you could decision to fight the status quo and be different. Don't use the excuse of living in that bad neighborhood to destroy your life. As for gambling, reason why you could easily get influence is because of the monetary benefits that people think comes from gambling and not realizing that you'll probably lose more than you can make.
The best method to combat that argued is to find a decent source of income, that source would probably keep you busy and you'll probably only gamble for fun and entertainment. Gambling entirely isn't bad but when you get addicted that's when it become a problem. Therefore even if you're leaving in a gambling environment like las Vegas, you don't have to allow yourself become a victim.

Although it depends on a person. I believe our environment somehow affects our personal decisions. I am a disciplined gambler but put me in a gambling community and I might gamble a little more.
Just last year I transferred into another house. I am now in a silent community. So I only gambled online now. Unlike in my old place where I had my bets online and at the same time I also gambled against some people there.
It could be but if we have discipline in gambling and know when to gamble and stop, I don't think the environment will be able to force us to gamble because the control is in our hands.Just last year I transferred into another house. I am now in a silent community. So I only gambled online now. Unlike in my old place where I had my bets online and at the same time I also gambled against some people there.
But with the internet everywhere and providing easy access to online gambling sites, this can still provide an opportunity for gamblers to continue gambling even though they have moved to a new environment.
So this will really depend on us, whether we want to stop gambling or not there will be any effect on us who have moved.
But I think people who already know online gambling well and where a casino site can provide comfort will return to that casino site to play gambling.
Transferring an addict to another place without his own will is actually quite risky in my opinion unless he really has the will to do it.
Addicts, in this case, need support from those closest to them and when they move to a new environment without close people like their family or partners, it becomes quite difficult because I think there is an impression that they feel like they have been removed.
Even though his intentions are good, this must be based on the will of the addict as well.

what you say is justifiable but should we wait for a gambling addict to be ready first when in fact this can help get him out of trouble. if so we let someone dissolve in the zone of destruction, as we agree this is difficult, actually a gambling addict needs help from the people around him so that he can fix his problem. not just moving to an area and the problem will be solved, there are several other treatments that a gambling addict must do, one of which is getting him used to doing other activities to change his bad habit of gambling, taking him to an expert and giving a recipe that can make him calmer and there are still many processes other. Any addiction problem is complex and not simple.
An addicted gambler can not reduce his interest in gambling if relocated to an environment where the people there don't have Interest for gambling, because the person is addicted already and playing gambling is not trigered by co-gamblers. Playing Gambling can reduce if the environment the person finds himself have laws that are against Gambling.
You will agree with me that society and the environment can have a great influence on the lifestyle of every individual, you often can find yourself doing, or being involved in that activity that almost everyone is involved with in that your locale as a result of influence.

It actually depends on what kind of surroundings the person is having.
If the person is having a surrounding where people are not involved in gambling but at the same time they are not motivating others to quite gambling then there's still a chance that the person might not quite gambling.
If the person is having a surrounding where people are not involved in gambling and motivates others to quit gambling then there are good chances that the person might quit gambling because of the influence.
And last but not the least it also depends on the individual's will power to control himself.
There are people who have a surrounding of gambling addicts yet they quit gambling.
But it is the gambler that refuses to listen and keeps gambling anyway despite having everything on their favor to stop their addiction, so as we can see for a person to drop any addiction the motivation needs to come from within, and once that motivation is there then they will be able to overcome their gambling issues even in the most adverse of the circumstances they may find themselves in.
Yes ofcourse, the motivation definitely needs to be there in order for a gambler to leave gambling.
At the same time the surroundings also matters. It would be easier for a person with surroundings who are non gamblers to leave gambling.
Whereas it would be a little difficult for the same person if he has surroundings who are gambling addicts.
Motivation and surrounding both go hand in hand.
