The market of one casino. They will try to keep you there and offer you anything that would please you so that you can gamble more.
Then, it would never occur to us that we are already spending our savings and we forgot about the time.

Other factors are if you are with friends and no one is there who can control himself to stop all of you and go home instead. With all the fun and entertainment that will happen, you would forget that you are losing a lot of money until you wake up the next day. Alcohol and fun will lead to disaster.
The environment is also one, most casinos are putting their machines on another level, downstairs or up, so that you won't see the exit.

I think casino how to prey on human emotions, like giving free drinks or the said, gamblers become intoxicated continue to play lost money because their decision is clouded already.

And then it goes on and continue as the gamblers comeback again and get that free drinks, but this time he/she is more greedy and think that he can go against the casino and win, thus falling for the trick and now he become so addicted already and it's hard to get out as you totally lost your logical thinking and judgement.

Everything has been designed so that customers can spend their time and money betting, but it's kind of funny that all gamblers are like that, because if the smart gambler wouldn't be fooled by such things. Because they know it's a trap, and new or foolish gamblers will fall into the prearranged casino trap and think the free drinks offered will help them in their betting which is actually a trap.
gambling with offline or online casinos is the same, depending on how you gamble because online casinos can be like that if you do it with an urge to drink alcohol while playing and it will be problematic, you should avoid alcohol when gambling and gamble with money or capital that can afford to lose and have fun -like.

Rather than 'other', I'd say major factor is being slave to emotions and lack of control over oneself.

Free drinks, lack of clocks, ATMs nearby are business techniques. Casinos will do what they need to keep the customers. These techniques only work when you lose control over yourself.

Free alcoholic drinks, ease of withdrawal machines and ease of which to fund betting/gambling site wallets are serious contributory factors to addictive gambling.
Free alcoholic drink could be a marketing strategy to attract gamblers to a physical casino but drinking responsibly is the duty of the gambler. Alcohol has the tendency of making one loose control if it is taken irresponsibly. The casino company did not force you to get drunk and stake all your funds. People tend to abuse substances, especially when it is free. Gambling should be done with a sane mind and not with an emotion that is controlled or beclouded by alcohol. The presence of ATMs or POS in a casino shouldn't be an excuse for over-gambling. That is why it is important to have a budget for your gambling activities. Having a budget would help one to control the amount he puts in gambling regardless of the ease of withdrawing funds to gamble with.

I think other factor that contribute to gambling addiction is greed, the drive to recover losses and perceiving gambling as an occupation. Some persons are not easily satisfied with their wins that they want to win more. If they loose they want to recover the loss by all means. Others are addicted because they see gambling as a major source of income. They put in all their time and energy in gambling which can make them used to the game.

It is about risk-reward mechanisms in our brain, gambling releases dopamine and other neurotransmitters in our brains. The greed of some gamblers and the additional perks offered by the casinos enhance this effect, by the way.

It is about making gamblers as comfortable as possible so they can spend their money and feel good after a session.

Drinks, attractive women, food, attractive machines, music, events. It is all about exuberance which attracts people in general.

I'm not really sure if this is a good reason to tell in front of the judges, what if the addict doesn't take any alcoholic drinks? So for me this is not the reason that contribute for someone to be addicted. The main reason could be is that they have tasted big wins before and they want to experience that again. Or if they haven't win big, they are going to try it so they come back for more and play and then they fall into the trap. Or simply, majority wants to simply just win every time which we all know is not going to happen because of the house edge.

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?

I think other factors that contribute to addictive gambling include easy access to online gambling sites, lack of self-control and understanding of the risks associated with gambling, poor financial management skills, and the thrill of winning. Many people also become addicted to gambling because of peer pressure, as well as the availability of credit and debit cards which make it easy to bet and withdraw winnings. In addition, those with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and stress can often find themselves drawn to gambling as a way of coping. Finally, the presence of promotional offers and bonuses can be a major contributing factor, as they often encourage people to bet more and more.

This is really true. But gamblers shouldn't fall for these. Free drinks are good but they shouldn't be a reason for anybody to lose discipline in the way they gamble. ATM machines are anywhere near casinos. Casinos themselves accept credit and debit cards and other ways to get those chips, but this shouldn't be a reason anybody losses all their savings. To counter this, a gambler could actually go to a casino bringing only an amount in cash which he could lose. Cards should remain at home. So whatever happens, even if he gets really drunk, he could lose no more than what he brought.

A very important topic that should be discussed more often because of the rise of young folks who are increasingly getting hooked to the addiction called gambling.

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

I certainly believe that flawed thinking is one of the primary causes of gambling addiction in people.
When I refer to folks with flawed thinking, I mean those who assume they have the requisite knowledge to figure out how to win a game, whether it be at an online casino or a physical casino. As a result, they continue to play even after losing a game.
In my opinion, some people believe they have figured out how the system works and that they can defeat it and win, unlike other people who have not, but in fact, that is not the case.

Greed is another factor that can form gambling addiction because the desire to get more wins will make him use his money to gamble instead of stopping to decompress after gambling.
Not having good self-control is also a factor that can lead to gambling addiction because he loses self-control while playing and doesn't know when to stop.
Maybe other factors can form a gambling addiction because each person's experience will be different, especially what makes him addicted to gambling.
Online casinos also have the potential to make a person addicted to gambling because he can play at home and can do other activities.
At the same time, he can also deposit and withdraw money directly from home.

I saw this case in the news recently.  I understand that all these things can be attractive to someone, especially someone who's looking to have a good time out gambling, but ultimately it's up to the gambler themselves to control what they are doing and you can't blame someone else for YOU drinking alcoholic drinks or YOU taking money out of the ATM machines to fund your gambling, this is all on the gambler themselves in my opinion.

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 guess you don't take much of alcohol, the more tipsy you get the more you get excited to spend money for fun. The Casino tricked him, by not limiting his intake of alcohol, because they're earning more money from his drunkenness. Probably he'll continue losing money as he won't think of making the right decisions.


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.

However, playing an online casino with some drinks in the house for a person with strong self control doesn't change anything, for such a man in your story it won't be good for him, yet it's safe for him considering that he is already at home, unlike on a physical casino where he'll have to drive back home drunk. It's not advisable to drink while gambling because one can get carried away, I think after gambling and if it turns out well a gambler can then drink out of his profits.

Other contributors to excessive gambling are drug addiction, anxiety and depression. These are not good for the player and such a person is expected to be taken care of by loved ones to save his life from getting into debt.

Uncontrolled spending. Alcohol is actually one of just many temporary influences on it, and I reckon anyone who was under the influence of alcohol (or anything similar that kills your thinking capacity) can recover from it after recovering. If, however, the problem stems from you yourself, then that's something different. Habits are something difficult to change/remove for a reason. Let's not even mention how casinos are bloody talented at marketing, specifically to those weak in the temptation department.

Everything in a casino is built or made with the idea of making you spend more money than what you would like, and one factor that contributes heavily to this are the chips you receive when you gamble, there has been research that shows that a person is more reticent to spend their money when it is in cash form, however when it is transformed and you either use chips or an electronic form of money then you tend to spend more as it feels less real, casinos realized this long ago which is why you are not allowed to use cash on their games as it benefits them.
Well, tbf, I reckon chips being used make it a lot easier to handle big amounts. I don't think anyone would want paper to be flying around during their rounds.

I'm not sure if this counts as I haven't experienced this between physical casinos but i'd say loans, I remember reading an article that was posted here and it only happened because of a loan that the gambling shop offered to their player. The leveling systems that most online casinos have is also a factor IMO since they mainly came from most video games and there could be a possibility that gamblers would prefer to grind those levels instead of playing regularly given how rewarding they can be.

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.
Those are common and pretty standard which its common for a casino to have these things to make their business profitable and generating more revenue.They would really be
offering things as much as they could and making things as convenient as they should so that people who do play there wouldn't really be having a hard time on having access
into their funds.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.

While there may be no complementaries that are being offered in online casinos, still, it is in a form of bonuses and loyalty additions. Online gambling websites would definitely try to attract people with their new-user bonuses and other giveaways that can make at least a person spend more time. In addition, some also have the feature of providing free spins after they spend a certain threshold of money.

The winning prize is always the biggest contribution in forming addictive gambling. People always has this hope that they might win the jackpot soon since majority of the money can literally change a person's life in the process.

Casinos, as well as malls, usually don't have windows, and the reason for this is obviously to make the player not so easily notice the time passing outside.

I believe that cryptocurrencies are one of the factors that has greatly contributed to the rise of gambling addiction.
  • First, because it is much easier to withdraw money from your wallet or exchange than from a bank, which usually has stricter withdrawal limits, especially at night.
  • Second, because many here have extra income in cryptos (subscription campaigns, for example) that help feed this addiction, because often the money for the month would not be enough to continue playing.

Obviously, cryptos have brought us many benefits in gambling as well, but we must be careful not to fall into temptation.
