I guess the main question that makes you increase your gambling addiction is the rush of winning. Winnings give an incredible sensation and on e a gambler tastes it he either learns to control it or it will destroy him.
That is true but what keeps me surprised is that an addict will play, lost, play again and lost more than winning to the point they noticed it is getting to the point of their life to be frustrated and depressed, but they keep on gambling if they see money to gamble with. They have a sense of profit but what is done for a long time and bringing loss instead ify profit should be avoided.
The thing in addiction is that gets to a stage of uncontrollable betting, that is even though the gambler is losing massively there can't control the urge to make more bets.

There can even go as far as borrowing money to make a bet or even selling off personal belonging just to fund their gambling desire.

Real casinos are inviting with their looks, dimmed lights, the atmosphere, sounds of coins and chips, they want you to stay as long as possible and feel comfortable. They'll give you free drinks, even send women your way to watch your game, be cheerful and keep you in good mood. It all depends on how much you're spending.

Online casinos make money by offering easy access 24/7. Everything is fast, anonymous, can be done without exchanging a word with anyone. You register and play. This is really important in many Asian countries where people are more into technology and less into human interactions.

Well, I my self getting addicted with slots because of my first "Max-Win", i never play slots before, but since last year starting from try a game, and get max-win, and from here i getting play more and more. But, in total I lose a lot, because I can't control myself from playing. And now, time for me to play wisely, or even getting away from slots, because I getting more addicted in slots than playing dice  Angry

That's why they make big wins, jackpots so visible in real casinos. They want you to feel like a king and for everybody to notice you.

They know you'll be looking for this feeling and it will will bring you back to them.

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.
Yeah that could be one factor if you're in that comfortable zone, but that doesn't mean you're not aware of things like your savings being touched. You could be sober but you should leave untouched that money that is important for future use, it should be safe. The thing with crypto is if the same scenario happens like you have drinks on the fridge, and you're unaware of things you could also end up emptying your digital wallets considering how easy it is to transact online.

The person in the story shouldn't blame the casino for offering free drinks that made him drunk because he has a choice to refuse accepting it. It was he who has been irresponsible and wasn't able to control himself from too much gambling. He has the freedom of will but he chose to get drunk and bet all his money. Physical or online casinos could always tempt us to bet but we have the control to manage and deal with all those temptations wisely.

In my opinion, the sound of falling coins during winning plays a very important role not only in land-based casinos, but also in online casinos. This sound together with the release of endorphin acts as a bell in Pavlov's experiment with dogs and it seems to me that this is very strongly attracts gamblers to slots.

As soon as this sound is heard in the gambling hall, everyone stops and looks for the lucky gambler with their eyes. I think personally I can never forget that sound.

Free alcoholic drinks, ease of withdrawal machines and ease of which to fund betting/gambling site wallets are serious contributory factors to addictive gambling.
Do you mind sharing the link to the original story, so that we can follow up on the detail of the case and also have first hand information on the case?

The part I doubted so much in the whole story is the part where the man said he was offered free alcohol  which made him bet excessively, the fact is the man have alot of issues to solve not only gambking addictions that is his problem.
He should be taken for mental assessment to know the state of his mental health, because just free beer should be able to push a nirmal man into emptying his accounts. Because no matter how much alcohol a man hard he will know when he reached the finish line and have exceeded his budget in a physical casinos since most of the bets are placed with cash.

I would have added a link so everyone would get to watch the video and corroborate the mans story, but only if I had remembered to save it up from Instagram. I actually saw the video on Instagram but didn't take note to copy the link. I do apologize for that omission and would share the link once I can get a hold of the video.

You have to be careful for max win game mode because if winning makes you addicted to gambling to get another win, so you will lose more than the previous max win and it's better to use half of the winning funds to gamble gradually to enjoy gambling only for entertainment, You have to be wise in managing your finances even though the funds came from previous gambling wins and you don't need to spend all of that on 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 was offered free drinks and he kept accepting them knowing how loose alcohol can make him feel. Why is he blaming the casino, he is not the only person that the casino was offering free drinks to. He could not meet up with his bills because he is not financially disciplined enough to know that you should not gamble with money that you have set aside to settle important bills no matter the situation.

What other factors do you know contribute to form addictive gambling?
Anything that will make you spend a longer than usual time in a casino has the ability to make you gamble more which can lead to addictive gambling.

someone once said, never get drunk while gambling in the casino. and always carry the cash that you have prepared to play. and also leave your ATM and online finance at home. we never know what will happen when we are in the casino. especially if we are drunk, there are always many ways for them to persuade us to spend more money at the casino.
it's hard not to drink alcohol at the casino, it's like a necessity that is offered at the casino. but keeping sober will be very important. More importantly, never go to a casino yourself.

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.

This is a statement coming from an irresponsible man who is only looking for what to apportion blame to, because to be frankly speaking, I'm sure had it been access to ATM or POS wasn't available, this is the kind of person who can gamble on credit, while pledging to pay the next day. Because free alcoholic drinks, ease of withdrawal/funding are strategies by which betting/gambling site uses to increase its capital, of which is left for the gambler to be wise enough to only use amount he/she can afford to lose.

The first factors to addiction in gambling begins with the indisciplined lifestyle of the gambler because it has been said that charity begins at home, if one cannot take some control measures to curb sone of his actions then such person will begin to display acts beyond the radar, of which are part of what contributes to getting addicted to a particular thing with a greedy and coveteous minds wanted to get everything to self either good or bad, they ensure the acquirement by all means through their indisciplined kind of lifestyle and got them into addiction.

The story mentioned by OP tells us how irresponsible the person is and blaming others for his decisions, what if he decided to take money from others wallet that we call as stealing, will he commit that and say the same excuse to the judge?

Casino's are nothing but a business either its online or offline so they try to provide better user experience then only their customers will be satisfied and come back again while the responsibility of managing the money is on our own and we have to know our limits and bet, don't lose your mind because you get free drinks or found a beautiful girl.

For that, if you don't want to continue to contribute to the addictive nature of online gambling sites, you need to avoid it.
• Don't often sit and chat with people who often win big at online casinos, curious, wanting to try always haunts you all the time, before you try, after you try your addiction will appear.
• Don't often watch slot ads that win big, you will be fascinated to try.

In my opinion, the factors above are more expensive than alcohol and getting drunk when you bet gambling.

Moving away from the seats of people who win big is easy to do, you just have to fight your urge and just try going to a smoking area or eating something in a restaurant. But even their ads suddenly just pop up and the sound of coins somehow is harder to not look at.

But then again if you are already trying to keep away from these I think you are already addicted and was just trying to prevent getting it worse and curing yourself.

What other factors do you know contribute to form addictive gambling?
You drunk, what can you bet, nothing, what else is unconscious condition.

We know that currently there are not many visitors to live/physical casinos, except: casinos that operate on cruise ships or hotels, apart from that the ratio is much larger, people run to online casinos, 70% of the rest are land casinos.

For that, if you don't want to continue to contribute to the addictive nature of online gambling sites, you need to avoid it.

The aforementioned factors such as the free drinks and easy transaction processes together with withdrawals are indeed the common factors why people are so indulged in gambling. At least in a physical casino side. Some casinos have these gorgeous and sexy ladies dressed in alluring manner to serve the players as well that I think one of the factors why most gamblers, particularly men, are taking their time gambling. Sometimes it's also the reason why some men gamblers are becoming regulars in a casino.

However, for me all of these could be solved if someone is very much disciplined. These factors stated could be set aside if you are following your set limitations and boundaries in gambling. In online gambling, a lot of these are absent, but still, people lose themselves in the process. Eventually, they become addicted. It's because they lack self-restraint. Obsession on winning can lead to gambling addiction as well, whether online of in physical casinos. Chasing the thrill and excitement could contribute too.

The industry has not interest to have an "educated" player, and hence in some cases is something impossible because it means provide a real education about maths/stats and so on...

I think that the real factors that lead to addictive gambling are intrinsic of player approach... First of all the lack of information about the real chance of win or RTP. Most players are missing from such basic information. It's like smoking cigarettes or using drugs. You know that these are giving addiction and you don't start to use! You have a basic information about this argument...

By the way I think that all information/factors illustrated in this topic, mixed together will lead to addiction! Probably some players are more inclined to become addicted to gambling...

Actually there are many factors for someone who initially just tries and can become addicted to gambling, not just winning.
Defeat can also make one of the factors for a person to experience addiction in gambling. What if someone really feels happy in gambling, even losing will actually make it more curious to continue playing, especially if that person has a lot of money that can be used, it will be very difficult to can stop playing in an instant.
An environment full of gambling is also one of the main factors that make someone crazy about gambling.
