I would almost argue that one’s environment has the biggest influence on their gambling habits. If you raise your children strictly that could have a big difference versus someone who does not and allows their children complete free when it comes to internet access and now they spend their money. Or perhaps parents who don’t teach their chicken the importance of money and how gambling with all of their money is a bad idea. I know a lot people end up becoming gamblers when they live with roommates who gamble and pick it up that way. Environment often has a big play in to it. These were just some small examples.

Can someone still develop the habit of gambling and become an addict even though no one around gambles?
Trough online casino, man. The answer is easy. And this what happened during Covid lockdown in 2020! Or do you also want to cut down a person from the Internet? Some kind of nazi tactic
I agree that self-will plus environmental effect will greatly help in the treatment of a gambling addict. Being in a vicinity where gambling isn't accessible will force the gambling addict to stop engaging in gambling activities and thus will not feed his urge to gamble. The prolonged effect of not having access to gambling activities may force the person to change hobby and possibly forget about gambling.
aha, the same as with a junkie (sarcasm). There is one big problem: addicted people are often fall under heavy drug withdrawal. Gambling is in fact the same drug as jet or amphetamines.

Realization will be there when they appreciate the place that they are. It's helpful if they are sure that they want to get out of addiction and they're helping themselves to remove it.
It's all in their will and how they're going to deal with it.
A moment for them to realize that they're living a life that they should correct themselves. Some may say that they don't really have to quit completely as long as they do it with moderation and there's nothing wrong with that decision.
Different take in order to cure the problem, as long as there's a self-will that will accompany the person
it will happen along the way whatever the path that he will choose to use. Also, change in the environment will help since the
person will find an alternative to keep himself busy.
In this kind of process, he will be able to adopt new sets of activities that will clean up his mind, free from any thoughts with
any gambling related activities.

With that, no presence of the internet they must need to get back into the province because some of those don't have internet like as in you need to get unwind it is good if you got too much stress due to have gambling activities too much stress before taking back again in playing but with the recent days, there's a lot of way to make online again, of course, those people sure have their cellphones and cellular signals to keep updated in the online world still the willingness of the person to get away in too much gambling addiction is the best cure.
I think - our productivity leaks through cracks of social media and other website. Since the time internet has been more popular - the crime rate and the problems has increased to an extreme.
Keeping oneself away from phone and computer will save you from so many problems.

Without the presence of the internet, I think environmental change can have a huge effect on gambling addiction. Gambling addiction would be minimized if there is no available gambling activities around. It was stated on the research[1] that localities can control the sanction and location of gambling opportunities. So if the gambler moved to a location where gambling is sanctioned then his gambling activity would be limited. Thus his exposure to gambling will be lessened and might possibly help the gambler ease out his addiction.
The technology advancement have given the real-time experience of being in a physical caisno through the Mobile devices. To such an extent the development have progressed. So, even if we change the surrounding and have our mobile device in hand it is hard to come out of addiction.As said, an isolated environment where we don't have the internet access could help in coming out of addiction. Along with that he/she should have the access to spend time on outdoor games. Through this surely one can get out of addiction. At times people get into gambling out of being lonely.

The chance is high that it won't happen anymore if there are no gambler that will encourage the others to gamble.
But if someone starts it and gives the idea that it's fun and there's money on it, the likely of influencing the others is very high. That's what is going to happen.
At first, if there's no encouragement, there will be no people that shall gamble at that place. And if somebody gets the initiative then we can't be sure if it won't exist there.
Everything changes when it's a gambler is an addict. An addict has this urge to play gambling even no one is encouraging the gambler. Remember that there are gambling addicts who are playing discretely just to avoid the attention of the people around them. There are also people who are trying to stop addicts in playing but addicts are trying their best to themselves seem they stop playing. Though changing environment can help addicts to realize things up and through those realization, It can help them reduce or change the habit of them playing gambling. People around an addict can contribute to the factor of addiction but it is all in the gambling addict if he want to stop or reduce his addiction. But if someone starts it and gives the idea that it's fun and there's money on it, the likely of influencing the others is very high. That's what is going to happen.

Gambling addiction may happen even with playing mobile games on phone or watching gambling related movies. Environment and close circle factors can lead to addiction too but it depends mostly on personal habits of gambler. The most important point is to know when to leave website before it is too late, otherwise, addiction will cause bad consequences sooner or later. Taking help of friends and talking to psychologist may help too, accepting problem is first step to get rid of it.
At the end gambling is a bad habit one has to quit gambling at any cost to save his health and his mental peace. But that is correct change of environment is very effective - we also change place for the break and for the new beginning

If you have ever searched on your smartphone or browser for information about gambling, you will constantly receive ads with similar content. That is why it is very important if you have decided to get rid of your gambling addiction not to use your old accounts and it is better to give up the internet completely for some time.
I often get ads in my email or phone number even though I have never used my email or mobile number for gambling. If ever, I would use it at a trusted casino. Perhaps the data was obtained from elsewhere so the casinos could easily contact other people to join the casino. But maybe we can at least change our cell phone number or at least we have another cell phone number that we don't share with people we don't know.

Can someone still develop the habit of gambling and become an addict even though no one around gambles?
Humans are social being, if others in the society are not around gambling then I think gambling addiction will not survive for long. And gambling comes from thousands of years ago, so I think some changes may come as a result of the change in environment, but it will not be possible to turn gambling off. If anyone wanna know the history of gambling please check this topic https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/the-history-of-gambling-5405436But if someone starts it and gives the idea that it's fun and there's money on it, the likely of influencing the others is very high.

Thus, addiction won't be developed as competition and excitement to play will never be developed as well.
Our life here on earth is actually like you're gambling. You make certain decisions that you do not know the outcome. I am not reading that history you shared, but IMO, gambling was derived through life experiences.

Exactly. The more contact you have with something, more prone you will be to consume that for your life. That is all about the social environment of your conversations, the physical environment of your way to work which pass in front of a gambling house, the virtual environment which constantly bombards you with gambling ads and video suggestions.
Humans are susceptible to external influences and the brands or companies know how to work with this smartly to challenge, please and fascinate your mind as customer.
Over the years marketing has gotten more and more sophisticated and as such it has become way more effective as well, human psychology has been studied formally for a very long time and those marketing campaigns are making use of it to achieve their goals.Humans are susceptible to external influences and the brands or companies know how to work with this smartly to challenge, please and fascinate your mind as customer.
So with this in mind it is becoming more difficult for those which have developed some sort of addiction to avoid the temptations, as not only you will see ads over the TV, but you see them everywhere, like your PC, smartphone, clothes and everywhere you go, so I think that addiction issues will keep growing over the years and there is not much which can be done about it.

I personally believe that absolutely anyone can overcome gambling addiction and the one who says he wants to quit gambling because it ruins his life but can not do it simply does not have such a desire. Each of us has willpower, intelligence and these two tools can help to get rid of any addiction without any help from medical professionals and drugs. You just have to want to.

People around make a great difference. Environment in sense of location is not as important as a society and the motivation
Maybe you have forgotten that the environment make up the society and this can have much influence on our gambling lifestyle increasing it or reducing our urge for gambling. Gambling is a lifestyle that we need to embrace it and focus on what we want not doing what will have so much influence on our gambling lifestyle. Everybody has different reasons why they gamble so we need to work on what works for us not for others strategies blindly. The influence gambling has on us can be restructured to reduce the effects.

Yes, they will still send you updates and promotions which will only tempt you to try betting again. So it's better if you'll unsubscribe from their promotions or might as well change email and mobile number for you to totally eliminate your contacts with gambling contacts which I think is helpful. Stay away from anything that will attract you to gamble again.
But gambling ads can be found easily now since they're already promote their casino widely, even you didn't even search that. Like how you're visiting a site about cooking or something, you will see a gambling ads. If you're watching a popular youtuber, you still see a gambling ads since he's promoting the casino. Watching a sports as example, you will see a casino name as a sponsor, it's too many and hard to avoid.Seeing ads can't be avoided as long as we never click on them or access them. If you don't want to have an effect, just skip the ad and I'm sure you won't be tempted by any ads on social media.
Watching sports is indeed mostly sponsored by gambling, so that there are more advertisements that will not be missed every corner there must be advertisements there, but I think it comes back to each of us how we can resist if we don't want to be addicted.
