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.

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.

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 learned this after watching the popular streaming website. Whenever I watch food reviews it will extract advertisements that contains food in it. Whenever I watch gaming and sports, it will do the same.
Now what if you had history of watching live streamers of gambling sites? It will be a big impact to the one who is trying to stop his gambling addiction as everywhere he goes there will be an ads about it.
Yes, a change of e-mail will help and maybe clearing your computer first. A hard format will do just to be safe that nothing will come back anymore.
Internet is part of our environment now. Even articles are relying to your search history about what ads will pop out.

~ In times when there were no TV, no internet and no radio, someone put on a desert island would probably stop gambling, even though he was a gambling addict before. But these days it's practically impossible to isolate yourself from the world. If you choose to stop gambling, you should not gamble even in the midst of a busiest casino in Las Vegas.
The technology keeps you near from anything, online gaming is just a click away from you if you still have internet access, even you change your environment in terms of locations but if you still have access with the digital world it still not easy for you to quit gambling. A case to case though, since there are people who really wanted to free themselves from gambling, they will do everything to succeed.
Self-will is always the prior factor that will send you away from this vice and you will be able to maximize your resources in finding alternative ways to distract yourself from thinking about any gambling activities.
I agree with everything you said except using the word "vice" here. Vice, by definition, is immoral or wicked behaviour. There's nothing immoral or wicked in gambling, unless you gamble with someone else's money.
People around make a great difference. Environment in sense of location is not as important as a society and the motivation
Yeah, but that's what OP meant by "environment", I'm pretty sure, the people around.

if you gamble online I don't think it will affect the environment wherever you are, but it will have an effect if you invite and teach people in your environment who have not previously gambled
if we can control ourselves, maybe we will not invite other people or close friends to play gambling. But a gambler will generally tell his winnings to his closest friends so that he is unconsciously able to influence other people to gamble. so environmental factors are the main reason someone is addicted to gambling because they will be curious about the wins that their friends get so they will try to play in the context of being curious.so basically the environment will determine a person's fate on their nature if their environment is mostly gamblers maybe sooner or later someone will be affected by the name of gambling, but if the environment does not have gamblers I don't think it is possible that someone will fall into gambling.

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
who do fail on doing so thats why they do fall off into addiction and then ruining their lives and regret in the end that they shouldnt have done that.
Addicted person would always be having the high chance to play once again as long they would be exposing themselves on to any platforms whether it would be physical ones
or digital ones which is something that cant really be avoided when the urge is really pushing you on doing so.

don't underestimate an introvert, besides that gambling is not only transmitted by people around, gambling is an interest, and usually that interest arises because the player finds something that really makes him happy or makes him confident
It's not to speak to many people - but at the same time it is as important to talk to people when you really need help.
Gambling and spending time on computer can not full fill out social needs.
August 01, 2022, 12:50:47 PM
I agree.
Being an introvert is not enough to assume that an introvert can get an addiction to gambling. Maybe there's no one around him (physically) that is addicted to gambling, or doesn't have any idea in gambling at all, but the internet is huge, where he can see a lot of people who are bragging their achievement in gambling which can trigger his interest towards gambling than can lead to gambling addiction in the long run.

1: Change of environment - different people different things to explore
2: most of time you are tired and you sleep well
3: sometime the environment suits you and you find a new hobby there.

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?

Surprisingly, people who gamble are also the ones who just got exposed due to their curiosity. While an environment may definitely contribute if a person would most likely be exposed to gambling activities, such is not the sole indicator.
Regardless if a person is exposed or not, it is essential they know their limits and discipline. If gambling becomes a habit to them, then it will be slowly integrated into their system, thus forming part of their routine.
Personally, a change of an environment may help an addicted person overcome his addiction. A breath of fresh environment would lessen their influence in going back to their old habits, though this really comes from their self-determination and dedication to combat their addiction.
