Topic: How can we help beginners not to get addicted - page 34. (Read 4088 times)

Some casinos have a page dedicated on how gambling works and they have a warning to their players about addiction, its up to the casino players if they are going to heed those advice or ignore them.

When it comes to casinos the rule is to each is each own, you have to take care and watch for yourself, the casino is a profit generating company and you are the target to be their cash cow, so its up to you if you let them become their cash cow.

I think gambling addiction is a normal thing for every beginner because most beginners normally have so much excitement  that result in mistakes and painful losses. A good number of gamblers follow this process and eventually learnt on the process. There is really no much advice that can be given to a novice that will safe them from getting so addicted to gambling at the beginning so I feel it is how gambling works. Anyone coming into gambling, my simple advice will just to gambler with bearable amount of money incase there is loss.

Addiction can come at all stages in gamblers. So whether you are a beginner or not, it depends on your situation if you will get addicted on this game. But as a beginner, you should always be aware of your habit so as not to get too deep in this game.
Before you enter in this game, better ask yourself, why you are going into this world of entertainment? What are your reasons why you want to explore the gambling world? Is it for fun or money? Better be on the lookout for yourself if you are here for money, because for sure the path you will take here is different if you aim to get money.

Casinos profit off folks with poor self-control.  They can talk about responsibility all they want, but we know the deal.  They're not exactly handing out self-help pamphlets at the door.  Still, can't put all the blame on them - personal responsibility has gotta factor in somewhere. 

Don't expect beginners to act as long-time gamblers already that's why they are called beginners right? But fortunately, not all beginners are ended up addicted since they know how to use their common sense. I don't think we can really help them not to get addicted because they need to feel the actual pressure of gambling before they can think if getting involved in gambling for long will be good for them. If we just tell them the basic advice prior to their actual gambling, they won't understand at all since they don't experience yet being a big winner or big loser.

Just trust these beginners not to get addicted on the way. I still believe that there are lots of newbies who know how to use their common sense and will realize right away if there's something wrong already that is happening on their gambling journey.

Gambling addiction is more of individual thing than the casino even though the site make more money when addicts gamble more since they tend to gamble out of preposterous state and mindset, also we have a few feature on the gambling sites that further suggest that gambling platform also have the interest of gamblers at heart and will help them to overcome any possible cases thatay be overly negative on their well being such as the self exclusion featurs and other self controlling tools that can help the player to avoid hucked to they addictions.

Casinos can offer support and guidance, but they cannot force people to moderate their gambling activities. The responsibility for avoiding addiction ultimately lies with the individual. Gamblers need to be mindful of their gambling behavior. Addiction is a complex issue that can arise unconsciously. Gambling companies always pay attentions towards the sign of addiction, because it can be bad for their business.

Prioritizing responsible gambling practices and providing adequate support for addicted gamblers are also there as parts of their policy. This includes implementing measures to prevent underage gambling, offering resources for problem gambling, and promoting responsible gambling behaviors. Addressing gambling addiction requires a collaborative effort between individuals, gambling companies, and society as a whole.

One thing that most gamblers fail to understand is that they need more than just understanding how the games work to avoid getting addicted; they also need to understand and study their decision level to determine if they are really fit for gambling or not.
 
Some people think that because they know how to predict games, they can pass through all the trials that gambling comes with, like prediction, setting gambling limits, and managing your bankroll.

They also need to work on their decision-making process because this part is what makes most people turn addicts. If you can't control yourself, you won't be able to control your gambling habit.

beautiful  Your attitude keeps you away from gambling addiction. Gambling doesn't have any negative effect on our life if we use it for fun but when we don't have good knowledge about the bad side of gambling and indulge in gambling then we get involved in this bad addiction.

Most gamblers are emotional and greedy and do not want to understand or accept the negative aspects of gambling. Because of this, gambling has many negative effects on them and they become deeply addicted

No one is addicted to gambling at the beginning of gambling. People get addicted to gambling slowly, so if they are told early on how bad gambling is and how much damage they will face if they become addicted to it, then maybe this addiction can be reduced.

I believe it is not knowing about gambling that lead a person to gambling addiction.  It is more on the lack of self-control that lead a gambler to addiction.  Looking at the definition of gambling addiction, we can say that the key factor is the uncontrolled urge to gamble.

In order to avoid gambling addiction one must nullify the uncontrolled urge to gamble and the key element is self-discipline.

I believe knowledge about gambling does not help in controlling addiction but rather helps in creating strategies to enhance the chance of winning.  Several people who are knowledgeable about gambling still fail to control themselves and got addicted to gambling.


Casinos gives information about gambling and have a specific page for the information about how to gambling responsibly.  They even have self-exclusion program where player can approach them to self-exclude and unable to access the gambling site.  It is that the player failed to read the responsible gambling guide and most of the people who are into gambling often ignore the self-exclusion service of the casino.

Being addicted depends on the person himself.  It is about his control over his gambling engagement.  Gambling companies do benefit from peoples gambling engagement but they should not be blamed if the person get addicted because the addiction itself is created when the person failed to moderate his gambling activities.

I like your opening statement, It gives a glimpse into who you are.

I can tell that you were either in your late teens or early twenties when you made this decision. And that your environment played some role. Did you watch the behaviors of people in your environment who were addicted and how it ruined them?

I agree that we all have the ability to tell ourselves what we want and what we do not want. Also because you were already good knowledge on gabling addiction.

They don't know how it goes with its effect when they gamble. All they're for are to have fun and then later, they don't notice that they're starting to become emotional and wanted to get as much as they can from it.

AFAIK, they've got reminders to their customers to gamble moderately only. And they've got some features like self exclusion.

They benefit from all of the gamblers because that's how they make money.

You can only help those beginners if you are close to that person, but if not then for sure they will be time they will gamble with too much emotion and that could lead to addiction over time. We cannot help them 100% because at the end of the day, it is still their decision and it’s up to them if they will become addict or gamble responsibly, all the information that they may need in gambling is already available in many sites, and I’d hope that they will do their own research first before they gamble.

Some of them know about gambling addiction even before they started gambling, but some people don’t even know about how they got addicted to gambling. Some of them know about gambling addiction, but they are gambling just because of money, so at the end they gets addicted to gambling. After losing some amount of money, they will keeping on gambling hoping if they do that they will be able to win back their losses, but they will be losing more, and they will find it difficult to stop gambling.

If you are addicted to gambling, and you gamble more, then gambling companies are making more money so they are benefiting from addicted gambler’s, and some gambling companies in my country do recommend that gamblers gamble responsibly, so it’s left to people gambling to control themselves and not to be addicted. Even when gambling companies warn their customers to stay away from addiction, people will still gamble excessively and get addicted.

You’ve got a point OP. Perhaps people aren’t fully aware of the negative effects that could affect their lives and the people around them. But then again, that’s why gambling as an activity isn’t meant for immature minds and that’s why there’s an age limit to it.
Sadly, people that should be mature enough still get snatched in the claws of addiction. And personally, I don’t think gambling companies could care any more for people that get addicted to the activity. Perhaps they like people getting addicted as they would remain in business, making profit.

Creating awareness about gambling addiction is better left to individuals and bodies who care. Gambling companies do not and wouldn’t do much to curb the problem.

I think there's no way how we can help beginners not to get addicted because that was a self-decision. The moment they enter the gambling, they should experience everything from winning to losing and the effect on it on their mental aspects. These are the factors that will help them decide if they will continue gambling or not.

If they will engage in gambling, only them will able to help themselves and not get being addicted on the way.

If we talk about not getting 100% addicted then discourage them from starting gambling at all.

Everyone has a different brain, so you can't assume that what one person is doing will be done by another. Many people are addicted to gambling because they lack money, so any small amount of money they have they use to gamble to increase their money. That is why you should not be playing games every day; if you lose today, don't play the next day; give it a week or two and try again; he may be that week is not your lucky day. You can't stop people from playing gambling. If someone is a newbie in gambling, it's difficult for them to become addicted because if they play the first game and lose, they'll be afraid  to lose another one and they won't try again, Except they have someone that used to motivate them to try again, and eventually he will expand and get addicted. That is why the only advice you can give someone to avoid being hooked to gambling is to stop playing anytime even if he loses.

People's opinions on any adventure that offers money vary. In other words, our perspective on something won't always align with that of others. This also holds for other things we find ourselves doing, for example, gambling.

Many individuals are simply gullible and would throw their entire being into everything they take on for financial gain. While some people are unmoved by financial matters that lie in trying their luck. They prefer to work hard and wisely for the money they earn

The whole point of gambling is that people enter it with the false hope of winning big because they have been conditioned to believe that they can get rich quickly through the means of gambling always to be able to win big, as a result, they become addicted gamblers

If you are Introducing a newbie to gambling, make sure to tell them about the dangers because they can get addicted, and you may end up feeling guilty being the one that led them to gamble in the first place. This is a way that you can help beginners not to get addicted in gambling. Whenever you introduce someone to a gambling website, also tell them about the chances of them being attracted to the way things are in the website and they can also get addicted so that they can engage self to make practices that are counter addiction. Beginners need to be prepared of what they are to face.
