What other factors do you know contribute to form addictive gambling?
In the end, it all comes to how the gambler can control himself.

The first time I read the whole post of OP, I laughed a bit just because on how he brings up that "free alcoholic drink" as the reason why he lost too much money. At first place, he can just ignore or not to get those free drinks if he really doesn't want to, right? If he didn't try those alcoholic drinks, will he lose his money? I don't think so unless that man is really addicted to the point that it doesn't need alcoholic drinks just to empty his wallet.

Overall, self-control really is a very important trait especially when you are gambling. Knowing when to continue and when to stop is a big thing. Not having a self-control and discipline will lead to these kinds of things. Wallet getting empty, savings being gone because of gambling etc.

Now with regards to other factors that can contribute to addictive gambling, I believe peer pressure is one.

how can drunk people play gambling, if that happens it's a stupid mistake in my opinion, I have to have a focus on playing gambling for example casinos because sometimes when we are aware we are playing gambling it will be better because we can stop the game at any time when we win big or the money runs out, usually gambling addicts have no control over themselves like what OP said that alcohol is one of the causes of people losing money in gambling and finally becoming curious about their defeat trying to keep playing until the end
The same question on how can a drunk people can kill someone without a gun, a drunk people are still remember anything, but they just can't control themselves to limit their action. It will be worse if they gamble on traditional casino since someone might ask him to always gamble until his funds run out.

Even you're not in drunk, it's better to gamble when you're in fit situation, don't gamble when you're sick since it could make your ill become bad, don't gamble when you're stress since you might not gamble for fun.

Casinos will do anything to ensure that gamblers spend more time playing and lose all of their money. I haven't heard that story in a casino before—only there are girls inside the casino who make you lose more. But my view on this was that it is still our decision to be persuaded on this, even if those are the factors. If you know for yourself that you cannot control yourself when you are under the influence of alcohol, then it is better to not accept it. Also, this is not the basis for the court's decision, as the casino can defend itself in a variety of ways.

The environment he associates with and the heavy burden at work can also make people end up addicted because they go to casinos or try to play at online casinos to relieve stress but it is difficult to control themselves for when to stop and when to return to playing.
But all of these reasons cannot be used as a justification for someone becoming addicted to gambling, because there are many gamblers who can still control them even though they also have the opportunity to become addicts so they cannot blame anyone because everyone must be responsible for all the activities they do.

I do not believe that there are 100% factors that determine whether a user becomes addicted, it is the individual, it is something that there is no way to correct when you have a diagnosis of compulsive gambling, unless you simply do not gamble, it is a myth to blame marketing , business strategies, etc.

Normal people who can gamble after going through critical phases of uncontrolled gambling are cured, they are not born with this condition, the addict develops the disease, and the only cure for him is to stay away from the casinos.

In any case, it is a complex and sad issue for those who suffer from it and their family environment. Therefore, the recommendation is to stay away from any type of bets.

I agree that women in casinos are a contributing factor to addiction.

I don't think so. Doesn't make sense to consider that.

If those people you are referring to will try or make an attempt to date that woman then definitely, the focus will be shifted to that woman and not to gambling anymore. I doubt gamblers will just go to a casino just to see those women since why there if there's a much better place to visit for that purpose? Smiley

That was just a side entertainment but not a big reason to consider why gamblers are lurking in casinos.

A casino with very Beautiful ladies as staffs or where beautiful women come to meet chill or meet men who can spend on them will definitely be of interest to men and they will spend more time in these casino's gambling than they would spend in other casinos. I personally will pick and spend more time in a casino with beautiful women than a casino with just unattractive faces. This can be a weird reason, but it can contribute to form addictive gambling.
the marketing strategy of using beautiful women to make casino customers feel at home has been around for a long time and is indeed one of the factors that causes addiction.
because if a man has a lot of money and likes the woman, he will meet the woman every day and be willing to spend the money in his pocket to gamble at the casino.
and if the woman knows that the man likes her, surely the woman has a way so that the man can spend even more money at gambling by means of spoiled seduction etc.
I agree that women in casinos are a contributing factor to addiction.

Free alcoholic drinks, ease of withdrawal machines and ease of which to fund betting/gambling site wallets are serious contributory factors to addictive gambling.

Greed and having early success in betting, once you tasted how it feels to win big bucks fuels your desire to make money from gambling, and your mindset change from fun to profit when you see how other people make quick bucks from gambling and their success it will trigger addiction because you want to find out if you can imitate the success of the guy, so we can say imitation and success are two big factors that make a player addictive to gambling.
When you do have these early experiences then pretty sure that you might be ending up yourself on minding that you should play more to earn or win more, until you do experience
these losses and would be ending up on frustration and make up some realization that this isnt how gambling works. Things that do add up about addiction is that you do chase up your losses.
Other casino things turns out to be standard and just like the rest been saying that it would be normal that they would really be that mindful on how to hook up their
players and making them stay on using up these kind of ways or standard protocols and add ups.

The story doesn't make sense to me. Isn't it common to witness those at casinos?

If on the other hand that those things like nearby ATMs, free drinks, and so on are not present, surely those guests will complain and will find another casino instead with such convenient treatment to their customers.

The factors that contribute to addictive gambling are not those casino features but rather our inner self and the purpose for why we gamble.

As a gambler then you would be finding up these things to be convenient which would be adding up on good overall user experience.
Some actions or outcomes is basing up on your own decisions which it isnt right to make some blaming on the casino.

In other words, the convenient stuff that gamblers are experiencing in that casino isn't really a factor that contributes to their addictive gambling.

The gambler itself is the one who is building their interest to gamble more, not because of those mentioned stuff but rather self-interest.

Maybe on the way, they have won big that's why they keep on playing and risking their money to experience that feeling again and again.

I think people who are here in the forum will not become this addicted because we are fully oriented here about addiction and how to deal with it.
No guarantee about it, mate.
Even if you always read about some tips to prevent addiction every day, you still have a chance to be addicted if you never evaluated your gambling habit. Some people are unaware that they are addicted to gambling because they make it as a daily activity (habit). It may not cause bad impacts if you can limit your funds daily (small money), but it will be a big problem if you gamble daily without a budget limit. It probably ends up with losing everything.

There are too many factors of gambling addiction but the root source is the money that they will get from the gambling casino, if you will keep chasing it, it could probably become an addiction.
Yes, there are many factors.
Chasing winning or chasing money, never leads to a good result.
We all understand that wins can't be pursued in gambling, more attempts never guarantee a bigger chance to win (get money).

It's the casino's strategy to offer these free services, drinks, food, rooms, etc. to entice people to gamble more. They make gamblers feel comfortable and at ease and also offer the best service and commodities to attract people to gamble more. That's why some casinos give their VIPs free hotel stays, drinks, and other services. The more you spend the more they pamper you. Any business will do this, so you can't blame the casino.
And you know what's addicting? The comfort that these casinos give to their customers and that's why when a gambler felt it already, it will never be gone into their minds.
The moment that when they felt so comfortable in a casino, that's going to make them addictive and wanting to be back there at most times thus, it contributes to their addiction. So, two addictions, addiction in gambling and being there.

I think this post is more of a comparison between online and physical casino but the truth be told that alcohol is a major contributing factor that aids gambling addictiveness and free alcohol could be given in physical casinos rather than in online casinos.
I also think one of the reasons for gambling addiction is oeer pressure and this factor is more common among the youths when they have to stay gambling because oeers and friends are into it and before you know it, they're already so addicted to gambling.
Another factor that leads to addiction in gambling is financial freedom and without much been said, people want to want money easily without having to work and one of the ways this could work is gambling and they have to channel their energy into it and end up get so addicted to it.

Goodnight, ohh Leo!!! 🦅
We've got alot of factors though -- as much as I know...
The main thing is the interest; I rarely see peeps with zero interest on sports issues and roulette getting addicted to gambling -- ofcourse, we've got alot of divisions on diver's casinos but, it's totally or partially entailed with soccer, athletics or systematically programmed domain ( which is the virtual games etc...) The point is -- anyone without interest doesn't get addicted to anything in the first place -- but pulling out too much on it could cause addiction, denying the fact that you don't lose anything when you wager and loose eventually could also cause addiction ( cus at some point, anything you keep doing consistently becomes a part of you)

Free alcoholic drinks, ease of withdrawal machines and ease of which to fund betting/gambling site wallets are serious contributory factors to addictive gambling.

A man was invited to the court for failure to meet up with his bills. He complained bitterly to the judge he was standing before, on how he was given free drinks at a live casino and it made him so loose to the point that he lost and emptied his wallet to place more bet of which he lost more. He made several withdrawals from his bank account, most of which he had saved up for something as important as paying the bill for which he was summoned and more.
He attributed his huge loss to the ease of which he could easily withdraw cash because of the presence and ease of accessibility of ATM and POS machines and the free alcoholic drinks served which made him drunk and so excited to the point he emptied all his savings on gambling.
In comparison to live casinos, online casinos do not offer free drinks, but if one were to bet from the comfort of his/her zone, and had a fridge or cooler of chilled alcoholic drinks, it shouldn't be a yardstick to get drunk to the point of funding ones betting wallet all just to gamble at that instance of excitement. Also, if one can't get to control the amount of his/her alcoholic intake I don't think such a one can control the excitement that comes from gambling and shouldn't bet, make withdrawals or fund gambling wallets, while drunk.

What other factors do you know contribute to form addictive gambling?

The story is about a person who lose control of himself.  He is just finding excuses but the real problem is his self-control.



Gambling is addictive because of what it offers.  Entertainment and possible huge reward.  The variable reward does make it more interesting and fun.  Also the essence of chasing losses also contributes to gambling addiction.  Anything about gambling activities can contribute to form addictive gambling.  So I believe we better be serious in controlling ourselves.

Both offers convenience.

And that's why the difference is just all about the location and the ambience but nevertheless, both are comfortable and will really urge you to gamble more because they're making you like the boss.

I've seen the same story before that's also posted in here and the control from the gambler is loosening when he's at that much loss. The losing itself contributes a lot in becoming addicted to gambling because you'll come again and have that urge of taking back your losses.
If your mindset is to gamble again to chase for more profits or chase to recover from all your losses, you will never be responsible in gambling, and expect to see yourself addicted in the end. Casinos are casinos, and they will always make us their boss and superiors, but it’s not actually only observed in casinos, but in all aspects of business wherein their aim is to maximize their sales and be in high profits.

I am not sure about psychological strategies that are used by physical casinos but I can imagine the professional casinos use some similar tricks to a supermarket. In a supermarket for example, the food has special lighting which makes it seem visually fresher than it actually is. The product placement and the colors are all carefully thought out in order to stimulate people psychologically into buying stuff. And the music is supposed to influence you as well.

I know the sounds and colors are being used by the casinos in a similar but different way. Slot machines are a great example. Loud, flashy and colorful.

But how exactly the psychological part works is unknown to me.

Online casinos and live casinos are not much different, everything can make us addicts, depending on ourselves whether we want to become addicts or not, we are consciously given 2 choices to stop or continue when we lose and lose money, most people will usually continue because of emotional feelings. that's what makes someone an addict for choosing the wrong path
^ I think people who are here in the forum will not become this addicted because we are fully oriented here about addiction and how to deal with it.
There are too many factors of gambling addiction but the root source is the money that they will get from the gambling casino, if you will keep chasing it, it could probably become an addiction. We are still lucky here we know how to control ourselves and fight the feelings that will become addictive for us. Just gamble because of the fun, not about the money, if you choose money, gambling is not good for you.
Even if gamblers are well oriented or not, if there is high greed for money, they will eventually become addicted in gambling. For me, it’s more on a choice than a chance. Because if you gamble only for fun, whether you lose or win, it won’t matter as long as you enjoy and become satisfied on your gambling activities. Profits are just a bonus, of course it would be more satisfying if we also gamble and win good amount somehow.

I can't tell though if I am not in their shoe but one thing is for sure, that guy was already an addict or having a problem with gambling. It has a choice at first but he chose to stay in casino despite of the free drinks so, I think it's not enough as an excuse to blame it all on the casino. It was his fault after all and he should be seeking help from the someone to control his addiction if he can't control it.

Casinos are designed to make your forget what time it is and to make you stay with them longer offering various freebies that would get you addicted the longer you stay.
