The only way a beginner doesn't get addicted to gambling it's when it isn't viewed as a source of income.Most gamblers depends on gambling as a source of income and they get addicted to it because they think it's a place to make profit.Casino sites are there to run their business and not to educate people who are old enough to make decisions for themselves.Gambling sites won't loss if they enlighten beginners not to get addicted to gambling because they feel everyone has their own decision and choice to make.

Because they did not seek for advises and tips first before entering gambling world in which mostly
ended up becoming them the loser and turning into addicted that will ruin their life forever.
With the rate of online gambling now do you think anyone will come to seek for advise before venturing into gambling? Of course No! When an online casino registration is very simple nobody knows if the next person is gambling or not so they don't even share experience in order for others to learn and as a result of this gambling addict is born to spread. One thing know is no matter what is used in writing the gambling rules and gamble responsibly you will still find people not listening because it's in their nature to ignore the rules and chase the imaginary profits which they end up losing all their money.

So practically nobody would seem advise even though they might be facing alot yet they will find it convincing not to ask.

The reason why I'm not addicted to gambling is because even before I started to play gambling I already understand gambling and its addiction, and my understanding has helped me on how to follow up gambling. Sometimes I ask myself why do people get addicted to gambling, is it because they have no understanding or awareness about the addiction of gamble.

 I think majority of people who are addicted to gambling is because they do not understand gambling as beginners, the rules and the side effects of playing gambling excessively.

I think if gambling companies can help to giving beginners to understand gambling and addiction it will help and reduce the rate at which people get addicted o gambling, I mean good lesson for people to get understanding.  Or do gambling companies benefit from gamblers who are addicted, which the awareness of getting addicted can affect their business?.

You have to be very careful when first starting gambling if you have no experience, because that is definitely when you are the most vulnerable to the psychological tricks that casinos and bookmakers use. You should definitely stick to a small and fixed amount, then not play for more than one day without a few days break in between. You should also start researching the odds to get a real appreciation for how unlikely it is for you to actually win. If you feel like you are starting to lose control, then you should probably abandon it altogether because it can quickly escalate from there. Putting deposit and daily gambling restrictions on your account (plus sticking to a single gambling site) will be very helpful so you don't over stretch.

I think one of the things that can help a lot a newbie in the game is to take into consideration very well the management of their money, I would say that it is the most important thing, since without money there is no party, so because of this we have to apply everything we know to always have the best experiences guaranteed, it does not matter that we have to play with little money and we are left wanting, there are good opportunities for things and there are always many things that can be done, if we control the money, we can give free rein to our emotions and if we have the discipline to decide the best things with our money we can guarantee fun and possibly profits.

Did you know that those who play in the world-class gambling circuit aren't children? It's not that they don't understand gambling or its addictive nature, in fact, they're fully aware of all the side effects. Yet, they still engage in it. This illustrates how difficult it is to avoid such habits. If you claim to know the side effects of gambling before engaging in it and believe you can control yourself, it means you're still a novice player, experimenting with gambling, and haven't experienced significant wins to understand the thrill of winning in gambling.

Without a doubt people are way more susceptible to make huge mistakes when gambling on the early stages of their journey, however as long as they actually take the time to read more about gambling and how it should not be considered to be a form to obtain profits, and they keep a strong control over their capital then they should do well, since once they get enough experience, it is unlikely they will ever develop some kind of problem with their gambling.
Experience would always pertaining on getting those learning but this is something that cant be inevitably be able to avoid in speaking on experiencing those losing money condition or situation.

People would really eventually learn into their past mistakes and this is why they would really be neither be that totally wrecked out their lives or would really be changing up for good.
It would really be always reflecting out on what are the decisions that you had made. Reading up others experiences isnt that bad either.

How can we help?
There's no way that we can help them because human minds and thoughts would really be working out on different ways.
No matter what we do give out that kind of explanation but if that certain individual is really that playing gambling like a madman, then it would really be that pointless.
People would really be just making that kind of stopping of their gambling activity on the moment that they had messed up their lives already.  Cheesy

This very basic. You can't help a beginner person avoid becoming addicted to gambling if they can't even help themselves avoid gambling. Personal desire and discipline are important for a person to avoid gambling addiction. Eventhough many of us can offer support or help the decision and action must come from the person themselves. (Another topic about gambling addiction 😕) I'm having difficulties to understand OP that's why I only answered the title thread. lol

Re: How can we help beginners not to get addicted
It's hard, but it's still possible for them not to get addicted to gambling.

The fastest way is to not involve themselves into gambling at all. This is hard especially when the person is curious on how gambling works, and he's also seeing tons of winnings coming from other people. It's hard for them not to get involved into gambling because these might attract them to try it as well hoping that they will win.

Now that online gambling is gaining popularity and on a fast pace, it's hard for beginners not to get addicted into gambling. For me, I think the best way is to teach them the negative side of gambling. Teach them how gambling can affect one's life negatively. Teaching them the negative effects of gambling might be a reason for them not to try it at all. For addicted ones, this might be hard to do, but for beginners, this can be easily done I believe.

I don't think not getting involved at all is such an useful technique
I mean, observe other things like sex and drugs
you can tell teenagers to do what you think it right about it, but the best way is teaching them about the risks (and rewards) and giving them knowledge about it

though for some drugs I'd agree that the best way is staying away completely.

I don't do blamw cane's for newbies because today ways of gambling, it's full of making money and making money, there is nothing really fun to begin with but we all pretend that's the main thing that make everyone to gamble but when you check very well, it's all about money these days. So when a new person joined, instead of them to learn how to maximize their skills to win, they will gamble everything continuesly untill they waste all that money and they continue like that till addiction set in.

It's really the responsibility of a gambler to understand gambling and casino responsibility to help a new gambler but because money is always the motivation of the two parties, nobody have time for that, the casino want to make money as possible and the gambler also want to make more money as possible, no time for learning and the person that suffer the most is the gambler because the casino is the one at the receiving end always.

Yeah, that's 100% the responsibility of the person doing the gambling.

Yes, it might be a tricky thing, yes, it might be tough on the people, but that is just how the game works.

There is nothing anyone else can do to help, it is just them vs the odds, which are against them. That's it.

Exactly that's a nice point mate, most newbies in gambling are normally convinced by the wins they normally encounter via social medias because most people normally showcase only their wins via social media making newbies to think that they can easily get rich through gambling fast. Which is a wrong mindset when it comes to gambling.

That's why the best advice one should give a beginner Is to tell them to always gambling wisely and also show them the good and bad
(like one can easily get addicted to gambling it not handle well)  part about gambling, not focusing only on the good part .

Its the awareness entirely,naturally,before ever we want to get something or do something,we are always adviced or been given an advice towards the set plan/goal,Whether good or bad.The awareness that they have puts them in charge of their thoughts,decisions and actions.

Once someone hears the word gambling,that word extremely places an individual with a very high anxiety and lust.Whenever you introduce someone to gambling also coach him/her to be able and available to take responsibility for their behavior.
It's very understandable that gambling is toxic and one should be guided about the risks,gains and losses.Know when its appropriate to get help,advice,and informations on how to use to right tools for a safer gambling.

Apart from that, when taking actions or decisions it is of course better to consider them carefully first. with those who are beginners who usually don't think about the losses that will occur, they can do whatever they want without thinking about the exact risks that will occur with the gambling they do, and with those who don't think about the risks that will occur, they usually easily become addicted and as a result makes them addicted to gambling by not being able to stop gambling, even though they lose at gambling, but because they have become addicted to gambling they will return to gambling to bet again.

I agree with what you said, when we introduce someone to gambling then we have to be able to introduce them well by telling them everything so that nothing untoward happens, but I myself would not do that, I would not introduce someone to gambling, even if If they want to do it, I'd better remind them not to do it even if they insist, maybe it's just advice and after that it's up to them.

Spot on.

Another thing to keep in mind is that if someone is earning a lot of money doing something, they usually are going to keep quiet about it.

If you think about it, there's basically no incentive for them to make a video about it. Why bring competition?

That makes you realize that most of these videos and promoters are basically only making money from the videos themselves and not from the gambling they are doing.

In some cases they have an incentive to talk about it. I can think about two situations
1. The source is drying up soon and the person can monetize a bit more, like squeeze the last bit of profit on a strategy that will probably be obselete soon
2. Some strategies benefit from more people following them like some trading strategies

Ideally, the dangers of gambling entertainment should be talked about in some format as early as high school. Young people should realise that there are no free ways to get rich, and that some effort is required everywhere. One in a million can become rich just like that (unfortunately, I do not have exact statistics). And this must be kept in mind and do not forget when you dive headlong into gambling entertainment.

Firstly, I think it's important to be calling gambling "entertainment", like you did in your post, when explaining beginners the dangers of it. Because the main danger is lying exactly there: the possibility of stopping to treat gambling as entertainment. It's when you are stepping into the dangerous waters of treating gambling as some money-making business you problems can begin growing like wild weeds. So, don't do that, beginners. Don't treat gambling as anything else but entertainment.

Don't treat gambling as anything else but entertainment.

Gambling is a different type of entertainment though.

First of all, it is way more expensive per hour than other entertainment options.

Second, the "feel good" part of it is addictive, so you want more and more.

If you watch a game, once it is finished you are usually satisfied, same with a movie, show, dinner, etc.

With gambling it is different. It is designed so that you always want more.

I would not call gambling as more expensive entertainment. This still individually. Gambler can win during that hours and end with profit. Gambler can bet 1 sat all the time. A single movie theatre visit can cost more if you take all the options. That "feel good" part with time can turn into "fed up with gambling". If you watch sports and make a bet, when game finishes you are, as you say usually satisfied, and I doubt that gambler will want to gamble more, since the game is over.

So from this I can make such and advice - place bets only on beloved team. This you will support it, be engaged into gambling, and gambling will be pause when the game is over. Such kind of gambling wont turn into none-stop gambling, like with slots or table games.

It is really because of different feelings that whoever has money indulges in gambling addiction. When a person keeps winning money repeatedly from gambling he becomes addicted unknowingly because it is considered as the best way to earn money and become rich. Otherwise, everyone is interested in gambling knowingly because there is a source of losing or making double money. Gambling companies will always look for the best way so that they can catch a lot of gamblers. The more you become addicted to gambling the more those companies can increase their profits.
Yes, it's true that anyone who has money and gambles will definitely be addicted to gambling, so it's not always beginners who will be addicted to gambling, even someone who often gambles can be addicted to gambling, people have different characters and their perspectives too, so in my opinion, manage your gambling time and budget. so as not to exceed the limit, the more consistent we are with it the more difficult it is for us to become gambling addicts, usually people who are smart in limiting their gambling time and budget will definitely know better when they should gamble and when they should stop gambling.

If we talk about casinos and gambling sites, it is clear that they like the more people who are addicted to gambling, the more money will come into their coffers, so that may also be the reason why casinos and gambling sites never get involved or help a site that supports it. healing for people who are addicted to gambling because that is how their money enters the coffers of casino owners and gambling sites. Everyone already knows about it, it's just that they are more focused on gambling and hope to beat the dealer but they can't beat him at all.  Grin

Beginners needs to know this, and they should not go into gambling because of what they see on social media about people who won huge amount of money in gambling. Some are true and some are not, it is not easy to win a huge amount in gambling, and that is why gamble should be done for fun.

Likewise, beginners should know that the money lost cannot be recovered, because gambling is not a business that losses can be recovered but it is an activity done to try one's luck, and if you are not lucky, you just let go without thinking twice because it is a game. Little amount of money should be used for gambling at all time to avoid emotions on your loss.
