Topic: Online or offline gambling which is more safer? - page 12. (Read 1864 times)

Or simply there's no such thing about being less risky or somethign we can call it to be safer because whether offline or online, chances of getting addiction would really be just that the same or similar.

You would really be putting up yourself on such situation on which you might be having some financial struggle on the time that you would really be having those careless spending through it.
We know that each person is really that different when it comes to risks handling. Some might be wary and some might really be that careless when it comes into their actions.
Gambling isnt bad as long you do find yourself that responsible on the things you are dealing with but if not then expect those negative effects.

Gamble for fun, this would really be the key. You wont really be putting up yourself on such trouble if you are really that responsible. PLay for fun and not for money
or making it as an income because this is where people do usually mess up.

whether it's

I think they are equally risky, we are talking about gambling even offline or online as long as you play that gambling risk. If you can't control yourself in spending no matter which of the two you do, you're sure to run out of money. That's up to the person, not the type of game or whether it's online or offline.

What risks do you mean? Addiction?
I think both online and offline gambling will have the same chance to bring addiction to the individual. It is not about online or offline, it is about the self management of the individual. If he always make the habit to stay away from playing gambling excessively, he will be safe from addiction although it is an online gambling. But if he never do the right way in gambling, it is possible to get addiction whether paying gambling online or offline. In offline gambling, people can come there any time, there is no limitation of the funds as well.

I don't agree with you here, because It's not like they're trying to check if you're a real person by performing KYC. It's aimed, as they claim, to stop money laundering, so they want to know where youre money comes from. This is something that a physical casino will not try to verify. If you come with $1k, they will take it, allow you to gamble and allow you to with draw and go home without checking if it's drug money or if it was stolen.

Online casinos have to follow more strict rules and this is unfair towards clients who can go to a physical casino and avoid all this trouble.

Casino games because they are offline and online, they are equally dangerous for people to fall into addiction, it is something that has to be made available because they are things that we are always looking for the best to have the opportunity to win, and they have Advantages, Disadvantages, Offline casinos are different because KYC is not required but rather the corresponding identification if you are of legal age or not, in an online casino things are different because you have different things, requirements that must be met to be able to withdraw money.

When any type of action is taken to have visibility of things, it is very possible that we are choosing what is most suitable, I prefer online casinos because I have more freedom to do everything, no one is watching me what I think, what What do I do or anything, and I pause whenever I want and I always look for things to improve and I take my time, that's what we have as an advantage, chances of winning? For me both are the same.

I think it is possible to reduce the risk between offline and online gambling offline gambling. Because when a person gambles online he has different wallets including debit cards and deposits his money there. When he gets all his benefits online, he will never be too keen to gamble with his real money but rather gamble by depositing money through various online channels. But when a person goes for offline gambling instead of online, he will gamble with the amount of money he has. When his money falls into the losers and loses it, he will find no scope to raise the money again and gamble. Moreover there are many people in the society who do not like and thinking about that many people gamble with small amount of money so that no one knows. So I think offline gambling is somewhat addictive but online gambling is harmful and people become more addicted because online no one will know if they are gambling.

I terms of risk reduction, I definitely will prefer offline gambling, but this is only because where I currently live, one would have to travel miles away before he or she would find a good offline  casino to play on, and most times as the case may be, when you have little money to play, and you remember that you possibly will have to spend even more money to transport yourself to the casinos and still transport yourself back home, that becomes more than enough discouragement, and at the end, you find out that money you possibly would have gambled with if you were gambling online, or an offline casino if one was close, would be used for doing something else that is more important.

But then, on the other hand, if an offline casino is close like a stone throw or few steps away, then I see no difference from gambling online and offline in terms of risk reduction, they are exactly the same.

There's really no safer platform when it comes to gambling especially if the person is addicted or dependent in it. Whether online or offline, people who want to bet and play will find a way to access the casino games to satisfy his urge. Although for sure, accessibility also plays a role, but it isn't the sole determinant of the decision of the player to either play or do other things. Losing and winning isn't also much dependent on the setting, unless you are much more inclined in doing the one over the other which dictates your comfortability and mood that could possibly set how you play. In the end, it all boils in discipline. On how you will behave in online and offline scenarios. Because some of the factors that can lead you to gamble more on offline can be used online too and vice-versa.

Do you even know the potential risk of playing offline is much higher than online? Debit card and credit card can be use to buy chip on offline casino too. Besides people can pawn their physical belongings such as house and lot, vehicle, jewelry and other properties immediately just to get money for gambling which is worst than wasting all your credit card limit or debit card balance.

The reason why pawn shops is popular in Las Vegas is because people keep pawning their valuable items just to gamble. This show how risky offline gambling over online gambling if we will just consider the potential loss people can do.

In my perception most of the gamblers like to gamble in online more than offline. They know that there is no platform without risk in gambling. To win at gambling, you have to take risks. But casual gamblers who do not have much interest in gambling can try offline gambling. If there are common errors in offline, it is difficult to find those errors, moreover, online games are generally more attractive than offline games. If a gambler wants he can reduce his risk on both online and offline platforms. I personally don't like offline gambling and most of the people I meet enjoy online gambling very much. Moreover, some gamblers are skeptical about offline gambling even they fell doubt in various offline games.

For me, offline gambling makes you spend more because of the fact that you may bring more cash to satisfy your cravings for gambling. They are both risky of course but for me online gambling has limitations to people ha has no enough online funds specially those who has no access to e-wallets, banks and other payment processor. Playing offline gambling has a lot more ways to fund than online gambling.

Dont you think that someone who are gambling in land based casino will not come back with other money when they lose their first session?
Come one dude, its all about self control, it has nothing to do with how you gamble whether online or offline.
You are the only key to reduce the risk, as long as you have good mindset on how to gamble wisely, gambling offline or online will be the same.

Personally, they both have the same risk but the difference is that you go out to the offline casino but the online is always with you either in your PC or your phone. The most important thing is that one should be able to control his gambling activities to enable him minimize his losses.

This is why you should have it in your mind that gambling is for fun and not to make profit, so that you will be able to only use the amount thy you can afford to lose on it. If you lack discipline, you will run at loss and might even become addicted because you will be carried away by your emotions and you will start chasing your losses.

Not only this but online gambling could be hugely risky as well. For example, let's say you have won a big amount online, but now the casino is not paying. They block the account and deny withdrawals. This is why we see a lot of scam accusations every day online. Online casinos ask for KYC verifications and many more which is extremely risky. There are chance of getting hacked too.

Offline gambling has some disadvantages as well. There are always risks when you carry cash. You never know if someone is starting to follow you to rob you. Moreover, it's hard to express your emotions there.

I feel like this totally depends on country you are based in. But I believe legit online casinos can be lot safer because there are many different proofs that will work in legal issues. There are dates, deposited money amount, which games you gambled on etc. Everything is on sheets literally. I know its not very different in offline casinos at legit countries as laws are strict but still online experience is sort of better in my opinion. Especially if you are gambling through official sites, and if your computer or phone are secure so, online casino can be lot better experience.

Offline casino won't ask additional KYC, proof of funds or underdoing investigation because you've give your KYC to the casino and you're a real person, it's not like online casino where one person can create two or more accounts.

"Online casinos sometimes scam" is subjective, as long as people are gamble in a casino that have an active campaign and not having active accusation, it's safe. If they want to scam you, they would pay anything that they invest to this forum.

Yes that's right, lately I also see that types of gambling like slots are really increasing in popularity, I think most gamblers will know or even have been involved in this game first, and even usually people first get to know gambling through this type of gambling, like in my country which lately more and more news circulating that slot gambling transactions are increasing, In the last year, the increase in the audience involved there can be 100x the previous year, it is true that one of the reasons why more are interested is because this type of gambling is easy to do, does not require any skills and people only need to adapt a little to how to play on several types of games that have been provided.

Another thing is that in this type of gambling the casino puts a maximum win on most of the games that are there, you can get $100 by only putting $1 if you can get that maximum win, but it's not that easy, honestly I also sometimes like to play in this type of game, it's been a while but not too often and honestly I've never gotten the maximum win like some people around me, it's very difficult. And maybe one of the things that makes many gamblers addicted to slots because they pursue the maximum winnings that are there so they keep betting without realizing that the amount of loss is very large and there are even my neighbors who have to sell their land just to pay off debts due to slots.

When I read the title I thought that OP meant being scammed. When it comes to that offline gambling is usually safer because you get a receipt when you exchange your chips, gamble live and if you win, you take that win home. No casino will tell you that they won't redeem your chips, or that you did not win anything when you obviously did. They won't ask you for stupid KYC or proof of funds and they won't delay paying you. Online casinos sometimes scam you and when they do you can't even make a scene because they're located somewhere in Macau.

If we're talking about getting addicted then again, online casinos are more addictive due to easy access 24/4.

I agree with your opinion, but after all, online gambling still carries high risks. We can have our accounts frozen if we don't read the rules carefully and make mistakes. Our account can be lost or hacked, and all our assets could be stolen. And one more thing: the same thing happens if you play on unreliable gambling websites.
But anyway, online gambling is still my top order. I always look for reputable gambling websites to play, I feel secure when I leave my assets there. It's interesting that I can play online gambling anytime, anywhere, without going to gambling locations.

If there is no addiction with a gambler, there will always be a point of pivot and stoppage either as a person that lives online platform or a physical place but if not for been illiterate of phone, why you would you go and stand in a public place to gamble when you will become an object of the people to see everything you. However, if you have an addiction in gambling, be it offline or online casino, you will always find a way to gamble, it's not about money available, you will always find any means to fund your addiction.

Risk can be reduce with physical gambling because as an online casinos, even in the night you will fund it and s gamble but as for offline gambling, you wouldn't be able to play because they probably wouldn't be available and they also have time they open. This is the only way I think risk and gambling can reduce even if you are not an addicted gambler.
