It's true, Bitcoin wasn't designed to make gamblers' life better, but what if it works that way still? I personally think that when all the gambling industry will be using online crypto platforms, there will be much less gambling addicts than what we have today. And that's because it is easier to stop playing when behind your computer than when in a physical casino. Not trying to say that there will be no gambling addicts at all, but the number will be smaller, imo. But we have to wait for some reliable stats on that matter, which can take years.

What I think is that playing online gambling will make it easier for someone to drain their wallet than a physical casino. As you said playing in front of monitor won't make them play for long, it's because their money has been used up.
When their physical health is saved, it doesn't mean also with mental health after experiencing severe losses in a short time.

What you are saying is true, but only for a certain group of people, namely, for problem gamblers. And I meant the vast majority of people(gamblers) who are not problem gamblers, according to various stats. And yet, I think we have to wait several years before we can make sound conclusions on this matter. Can crypto gambling make the overall health of gamblers better, only time will tell.

Itt may be easier to stop playing but it's also easier to start. Some people have anxieties or are too insecure to go to a crowded casino where everyone watches them and play at a table.

Online gambling gives them a comfort of their own room and the anonymity. There's also no age restriction. They can always lie in an online form when they wouldn't be able to do it in a real casino.

Theoretically can be true, but it's a complex problem with no simple solution. Those kids who gamble online would not necessarily be learning math and biology if there were no online gambling. What is more likely is that they would be taking drugs and robbing people on the streets, because they are wired that way: they are craving for immediate pleasure and profit.

I beg to differ as a addicted gambler will gamble until his wallet is empty irrespective of the fact whether he’s gambling on a land based casino or a online casino. Furthermore in a land based casino he may carry limited cash and stop gambling when his wallet is empty, but in online casinos he can continuously buy crypto’s and keep gambling till his wallet becomes zero. In these kind of scenarios it’s very important that they seek professional help, and understand their addiction and work on reducing it.

Yes that's what I meant. When visiting a casino, people don't carry all their money, securities or anything they can bet on. As with playing at home, it's easier to reach all assets owned that are prone to be made for betting. Even non-addicts can potentially experience this while in an exciting game.

I have read this article: Youth gambling problems: a public health perspective I consider it important for gamblers, Gambling addiction greatly contributes to drug and alcohol abuse and theft. Joining a casino makes you lose a lot of money and smoke a lot of cigarettes and wine, This, of course, will pose a major threat to your health!!!

Can crypto really give solutions to gambling addicts?
-Eliminate drug and alcohol addiction.
-Get rid of bad habits like theft.
-Reducing the risk ratio.....

😉Did joining gambling make you addicted to drugs and drink?!!

I understand where you're idea is coming from. Physical casino's have a lot of alcohol and cigarettes and you think that because of Cryptocurrency online gambling, it will somehow help others to avoid being addicted to such. However, gambling addicts who are also addicted to drugs, alcohol, and cigs won't be cured just because they are not in the physical casino's. Its much bigger than that. Crypto wasn't made for that too. They can still be addicted whenever they are, they need real and appropriate solutions.

Well, I agree there are less risk to be addicted and less second hand smoke but we really can't tell. They can still be addicted to such whenever they are. Its about moderation and control. They can still be pressured even it is still online gambling, they can turn to such addiction even at their own home.

Gambling addiction is already a very serious issue for some people to handle in their life, I cannot imagine what would happen to these people if they got themselves addicted to drugs and alcohol too as it would surely make their life worst than ever. Crypto-currencies does not solve any of these problems, but getting proper medication and professional counselling would surely help these people to get their life back to normal.

Some countries have facility for those who want to get cured of gambling, like alcohol if left untreated, your life will become totally ruined, you are going to lose everything your family your, your money and your mind, this is what the government tries to address that's why they set up these facilities.

So people who think that they addicted to gambling can use that facility to cure the addiction. However, not all countries have that facility, but I hope that in every country will have that place, so if someone gets addicted, they can be cured by visiting that place. We know that gambling addiction is a serious matter that happens in all countries, whether we know how big the number of people who addicted to gambling. And if there is someplace which can be used to accommodate the addicted gamblers, I think that will help them to solve the problem.

Well, I admit that it can be true but still depends from person to person of course. Yeah if you lose badly in gambling, the tendency for you is to get drunk or smoke always only if you already got this habit before. These things serve as your gateway to at least feel relief amidst the tension you feel. But if you not drink, smoke or take drugs in the first place then i don't think you will attempt to do such thing because you lose. Like me, I'm losing sometimes and got slightly frustrated as well but I remain sane and just move on. The bottom line, self discipline matters here the most

I love gambling and have never used drugs and alcohol. The answer is because I'm not addicted to gambling. Most likely those who are
addicted to gambling indeed involved with drugs and alcohol, and therefore can endanger health. There are so many bad sides if we get
addicted to gambling, then we must be able to control ourselves when gambling. One solution is that we must have a other activities,
like crypto trading. That way our lives can be more productive and positive.

Nah, "mostly" but not all are involved in drugs and alcohol, some of them are just compulsive gamblers. They were the people who can't stop easily the surge of playing gambling even if they know they were chasing losses. It's a state of mind where you want to win to make some money for some personal reasons but tends to chase some losses anyway. It's not that easy to deal with it alone because you really need someone who could help you to carry out from that pit. That's why professional counselling is needed for these people.

Crypto gambling is not different from real-time gambling, vices like smoking, drinking, drugs, and anything else has nothing to do whether if you are gambling at home or casino. It depends from person to person, if you are a smoker, alcohol addict, or drug addict this will not stop you even if your gambling online.

the answer is no for me, it doesn't matter if we use crypto it will not eliminate drugs and alcohol, because its a different problem from gambling addiction,
it should be deal by the family because i think that's the only way to solve it, gambling addiction may be also a discussion in the family, crypto currency is made for fster transactions and using paperless payments for faster transactions but not with a person's personal and health issue or problems.

It's true, Bitcoin wasn't designed to make gamblers' life better, but what if it works that way still? I personally think that when all the gambling industry will be using online crypto platforms, there will be much less gambling addicts than what we have today. And that's because it is easier to stop playing when behind your computer than when in a physical casino. Not trying to say that there will be no gambling addicts at all, but the number will be smaller, imo. But we have to wait for some reliable stats on that matter, which can take years.

Also there are many part time gamblers who are playing online gambling and they are not serious about it. You will find a lot of immature gamblers in online gambling.
Those who play gambling in physical casino can be called the real gamblers and most of the addicts are also among those catogery who play gambling ins physical casino.

We know how an addicted in drugs can be. We know how an addicted in games can be. Any addiction is very bad for the people and this includes gambling addiction.

There is no good addiction because all the things that you are doing so much can make you a bad person in general. Moderation in everything is needed whether it is playing games or drinking liquors or drugs or even in gambling so that you can control yourself while you are doing these things and it will not affect yourself so much.

Yeah thats true when you are playing line you will get some time to think and stay mentally fresh no one will be there to disturb or distract you but to keep calm and stay healthy a gambler must have control over their emotions. Its really not good to spend all your savings just for your fun as it can give you mental stress that's why much better to keep limited gambling and stay mentally healthy.

Once you are already deep in gambling, very few can really have the control of their emotions. So as much as possible before you start playing, even in online casinos, you should know already your limits. How much you are ready to spend and lose. Because in gambling, you should always be ready to accept that all the money that you will spend will totally be lost after playing. Mental stress is common to most gamblers especially if you are using money that are not yours.

I beg to differ as a addicted gambler will gamble until his wallet is empty irrespective of the fact whether he’s gambling on a land based casino or a online casino.

Those that are addicted will always find a way to empty their wallets, in my country physical casinos are officially closed and yet I am sure there are some addicted gamblers out there losing their money anyway by gambling in underground casinos or by gambling online, it seems to me many see bitcoin as some sort of magical solution for many of the problems of the world and that is not true, bitcoin is just a form of money with limited supply, that will solve some of the problems we have seen and we will keep seeing, like hyperinflation, however it is up to each of us to use our bitcoin responsibly and only gamble what we can afford to lose.

Cryptocurrency will only give gambling addicts more access to an online casino unlike on a physical casino and gambling addicts can even get banned on getting on a physical casino. and No, Crypto in any way does not reduce the risk ratio of drug and alcohol addiction. theft etc... just like any other currency, cryptocurrency doesn't prevent any of this problems you mentioned.
