Those factors are necessary for casinos to attract customers. If they will not give a satisfactory service or offer something good and unique, they will have a hard time luring and attracting new customers to their casino. That was something mandatory to offer to all gamblers to keep them stay.

Therefore, I think the question might not be appropriate since it's on the gamblers if they will allow themselves to be addicted.

Convenience is a must and it's just usual to see those interesting things in a casino as it was part of the entertainment.

Adding up those beautiful ladies in the venue which it would really make a male gambler do really have that kind of boost which is something very standard and if you are just new then you would be finding
these things to be interesting and something that do give out that good feeling.

If you are a gambler and do able to make and experience those convenience then it is likely you would really be experiencing those spendings which is more than with your
budget or limit. Its true that no one could really be blamed of but only yourself in regards to this.

Addictive gambling is very bad, because it makes you spend all your money on gamble like your life depends on it, some even sell their properties just to have money to gamble which they might end up loosing, Gamble is gamble , you win you win, you loose you loose, it's a 50-50 something no high chance of winning and no low chance of loosing. If possible use ur free money to Gamble, I have seeing people that even go as far as staking there Mobile phone just for gamble , addictive gambling is not good because it might empty you are a young man

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

Gambling triggers strong pleasure centers in your brain, which is a major factor contributing to produce a powerful gambling habit. Winning feels really good!

All of those flashy lights, cutesy graphics and noises going off are intended to feed habit forming behavior. The "hidden" side games that can be unlocked by a random spin after you've dumped hundreds of dollars into a machine, to break up the monotony and give the impression that you can win big amounts back. The sheer variety of slot game configurations that very often boil down to a simple underlying format and lots of little functions that give the illusion that you have some sort of control of the game. In actual casinos themselves, often having lots of light to make you lose track of the time of day, lack of clocks around a casino and confusing layouts that often send you in circles.

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.

Would really be that normal that these venues would be offering these things specially those free drinks and ease of withdrawing funds via placing those ATM's which is really that obviously a way for these businesses

to suck out funds from potential costumers or players which it would really be that common sense.You dont have the rights on making some accusation that its their fault on why you had
spend all the money you do have.All the things you are experiencing is basing up on the actions that you had made on and this is why its important to have that
self control even if you are that on the influence of alcohol.

That is why we are on this forum, to educate ourselves about gambling responsibly. Thank you for bringing this up, for people to know that gambling is not a way to make money but should be taken for fun and use just little amount of money for it. People lose more because they want to make money from gambling and which is not possible.

I was addicted to online gambling before, I drink alcohol but I was not addicted because of alcohol and I was not losing because of alcohol. I was addicted to gambling because I thought I can make good income from it, but I finally knew I was wrong after 5 years of gambling and addiction.

Indiscipline gambling
Chasing money thinking gamble can do it
Greediness
Thinking you are different, that gambling can do it
Not planing your life

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.

Casinos are setup as mazes to try and keep you in them. They also have women dressed scantily clad and a lack of clocks. These things all contribute to people spending more time in casinos than they might have otherwise. It’s the name of the game… I’m not sure places can be held accountable for these sorts of practices though. It’s pretty commonly known these sorts of things are in play.

 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.
