Topic: Online or offline gambling which is more safer? - page 7. (Read 1864 times)

I agree with you, both of these types of gambling have their own risks and it depends on what kind of gambling we are doing, if we do it the same way, too much, then there is a possibility that there will be big risks, such as losses in large amounts of money, not to mention with others that could destroy our lives if we are addicted to gambling.

offline or online gambling has its own advantages and disadvantages, it's just that in my opinion at the moment what many people are interested in is online gambling, although maybe there are still people out there who gamble offline but that may still be less than of the many online gamblers. In my opinion, online gambling is superior in terms of simplicity, practicality, ease, because it can be played by anyone anywhere and at any time and there is no need to travel far to play it and with a minimum deposit amount which may be a low amount so many people can do it. Meanwhile for offline gambling, we have to first step into the casino to gamble with a minimum deposit which may have a high minimum amount, so not everyone can afford it. Someone once said "if something is easy, why does it have to be complicated". I myself gamble online because in my country gambling is prohibited because it can violate the law.

Often, we don't find a casino near where we live, so we have to travel first to get to the casino and gamble. Perhaps it seems even more of a waste of time because we make trips to casinos. Meanwhile, by using online casinos, we don't need to go anywhere. We only need to stay at home or in our room and can immediately gamble. Maybe privacy is something we have to pay attention to when gambling at online casinos, but those of us who often gamble at online casinos definitely know the casino we want so that it won't be a big problem for us. And many of us choose to gamble at online casinos because of the convenience we get from online casinos.

Of course as I said above that whatever type of gambling you do it is still basically a gamble that risks money for uncertain results, online or offline cannot be used as a reference on how much you will lose or how much you will win, it is unknown and it all depends on the approach you take especially the impact of the risks you will experience, so the point is that all gambling will never be separated from risk, and that is why we must always pay attention and focus on risk management along with being a responsible gambler. On the other hand, yes what you said is true, that on the other hand gambling is like a self-control test activity, most people have difficulty controlling themselves because of misunderstandings in responding to opportunities that ultimately make them lost and difficult to achieve self-awareness and ultimately difficult to prevent potential risks.

In both winning and losing situations there is really nothing better especially for gamblers who are always focused on earning, winning is not the end of success but that is where they will apply greed for the final result which is usually more not what they want, and losing obviously makes them emotional because of the inability to accept reality, so I think there is really no better situation for this type of gambler, so there is nothing better than cashing in when winning and resting when losing.

Exactly
Both are not much of a difference what is most important is gambling responsibly and making sure that the gambling activity or setup is not a scam one.
This is because if by safe gambling you mean one that won't make you go bankrupt then you definitely still have to be cautious of hacks and scam and most importantly stake what you can afford to lose. The fact that a gambling activity or setup is either online or offline doesn't prevent an addict from making mindless bets or staking irresponsibly in an attempt to satisfy their addiction which practically speaking, for a strong addict is limitless.
Wether online or offline, gambling activities should be carried out responsibly as irresponsible gambling is what makes some people view gambling as an irresponsible act.

Offline or online, I really do feel like no one is more risky than the other or have have a high gambling rate that the other, let's use the offline for instance, you see people who take cash into a bet shop, most of them are not computer literates like the pool you find out it's more older people that go there and most of the times you see them studying the past results of games that have been played so many years ago and for the others they believe the want to be seeing the persons that will pay them physically so no stories if they win a game.

Those who play online are mostly the younger generation and persons who are computer inclined and still do have self respect so as they don't want to be seen by the public that they always go into a bet shop but one big disadvantage of online gambling is that you can easily transfer money from your bank account to whichever gambling platform you deal with and that makes it very easy for you to spend more.

None is better or worse its just good that an individual have self control over it, why most people keep loosing a lot is because they believe magic can happen for them and they just get lucky.

You have some point but that's not the case here. I think you are misunderstanding the post because the post is not talking about the gambler's safety but rather the financial safety. Betting online looks very flexible and easier but at the same time very easy to ruin your life financially. You can easily fund your betting wallet when you exhausted your balance within a blink of eye. With online gambling, your chances of becoming addicted gambler is very high, just imagine the conveniency and accessibility and guess how much time and money you will be spending without moving an inches.

Personally, if I am too concerned about my financial management, I will choose offline gambling because of its limited access. I remember the old days when online gambling is not yet rampant and we walk some miles before having access to a gambling house. Without no doubt, to make it to such distance sometimes become difficult and you'll end using that money for something else. It happened on so many occasions and some money were saved but the story would have been different with online gambling. However, I can't stress myself looking for offline gamble house now while I can do everything at my convenient time sitting comfortably in my room. What matter is how you manage your risk well while gambling.

Privacy is one important of online gambling. With online gambling you can play anywhere anytime anyday. Buy in offline games you must look for a nearby Hall and if it's far from your residence, it will requires you to pay some amount of money for transportation to a casino centre. Thereby reducing the money for staking.

I tend to like offline games if from honesty the reason is that they are played directly in front of us and in front of many people. Even though there could be loopholes for cheating, this is still much safer. Online gambling is flexible but it is easy for them to cheat because they are anonymous. the security that comes from offline gambling tends to be said by several of my friends. but they are even more skilled at gambling than those who only gamble online. I think offline gambling is more professional.

Unfortunately your country doesn't allow  physical gambling for different reasons best known to them but it would have given players there a choice to test which one is safer because now you can't conclude whether online or physical is safer. Some gamblers prefer to monitor their bets physically especially does who don't like the online digital system . So it all varies depending on choice and not that one is better or safer who the other wasn't given chance to be tasted. There are gamblers who enjoy offline while some also play in both offline and online.

If we are talking about safety in terms of money management and ease for us to be carrier away by the session and the thrill I believe indeed brick and mortar casinos are less likely to make us to over spend or ignore our budget, but it is more about accessibility, which could make us to continue to gamble.
Even though in all major cities in countries where gambling is legal it is a high posibility to find a casino, still for anyone living in those cities getting in those places and spending hours in them would require them to get out their routine and break their schedule, on the other hand, thanks for online casinos and the access we all have to internet, we can gamble as long as we want while we have a phone in our hands.
Not even mentioning that most of online gambling platforms are more likely to access credit and debit cards than brick and mortar casinos. I have been in small towns where people are only allowed to pay for their bets with cash, since there is no much developed access to credit cards.

It depends much in context, but tendency is to agree with the idea which OP used to start this thread.  Regardless one prefers physical casinos or online casinos, one is always supposed to practice self control and be clear with what ones gambling budget is.

Despite saying its "safe", we're all tightrope performers in a circus of chance trying to avoid losses or addiction.

Now for the big debate: online vs. offline gambling. In real life, you get all the glitz and glamour. Its sensory overload and a test of physical and social adaptation. However, online is different. You're comfortable, yet Wi-Fi lag might ruin your mood, right? Accessibility might be dangerous for some.

Which is safer? It depends on personal choice and utensil handling. Awareness and self-control are crucial.

Gambling, online or offline, has inherent risks. You're right that gamblers are responsible, but let's widen this. Ultimately, gambling is a test of self-control and chance. Complex psychology underlies gambling desires. One might easily get lost in the thrill-risk maze without self-awareness. This is more than simply a hobby - it's a behavioral trap that can catch even the most disciplined

Gambling's emotional side is a steep slope. Losing can be devastating, but winning can be intoxicating. Gambling is about fighting our own instincts as well as the house. You must accept losing and understand the emotional causes that lead to risky gambling. Avoiding casino blame, this is about educating gamblers. They need both hope and loss-handling strategies. Gambling should be fun, not costly and stressful

Everyone is opting for online gambling offline gambling is completely illegal in the country where I am staying. The law provides severe punishment when caught by the law enforcement agencies. I think online gambling is safer than that. No one has any rules here no one will know when to play how to play even someone close to you will not understand easily. All the news will remain in itself the government and legal forces can do nothing.

True, all casinos whether online or offline are equally risky and the point is that all betting will never be free from the name of risk with a little chance of winning, but for the problem of how much risk will be suffered by gamblers it really depends on how they approach their gambling activities, I don't care whether it's online or offline casinos but certainly if you are involved in any bet and you gamble excessively then I am sure you will lose a considerable amount, But as long as you can accept all the losses by having a very good responsibility then maybe it won't be a problem for you, because what usually becomes a problem is when gamblers cannot accept defeat and that's when they will experience big problems because gambling is based on emotions to chase the money that has been lost. Yes that's right, casinos are not at fault at all because they only provide gambling activities and in no way tell someone to overdo it, as I said above that if the amount you lose is very large then it's your own fault for not being able to discipline and control yourself.

If you are facing any inconvenience while cashing out or have any concerns while playing in an offline casino with this concern, it's possible that the problem is within you. Normally, casino agents are available to provide assistance whenever needed. In case they are not available at the moment, they will inform you and make sure you are comfortable while waiting for your turn. If you decide to continue playing instead of patiently waiting, the problem is within you. It is important to practice patience in such situations instead of expecting immediate convenience.

Both offer risks when there are still no online casinos there are people losing everything playing in physical casinos until now that there are online casinos there are still people who play and lose everything in physical casinos, so both platforms have risks and if you're not playing responsibly you will end up losing everything, its not the platforms its more on how you discipline yourself so you are safe from all the risks of gambling.

Do you mean gambling casino for offline or just playing gambling outside?,
Well both still at risk because one of the things would like gambling to bring is entertainment, too much on it can still go to addition. In offline gambling or even casino is you much need to take care because you bring a large amount of money in your side so its all about your environment, in online casinos you need to take care is your device too and the platform you are using to play with the casino, in offline you can seek help with face to face to the people in online it takes time to raise a concern, it depends on their service. At the end of the day surely we will choose which more convenient to use, For me id go for the online gambling because there's no near casino right here in my local.

No one is safe, if you are use or addicted to any of them you will still have the stong urge to play all the time. For me I think the online gambling is more additive because whenever you are with your phone playing gambling can just come up from the mind. But it is important for us to be conscious how we deal with the two kind of gambling because gambling will always be gambling,  it is always addicting which is hard to control the feelings to stay away from it. Gamblers needs to learn not to give all interest on gambling.

Even though it looks safe, it doesn't mean it's safe in the true sense of the word. safe means free from anything that could hinder, harm or so on, especially with the theme we are discussing in this thread. basically, nothing is truly safe in the truest sense. so it's like this, when we visit a casino, be it offline or online, nothing is truly safe. safe in the sense that we are fully aware that we are risking something whatever the type of game. the most common risk, we lose in a betting session. risks that must be avoided, becoming a gambling addict. in fact, everyone has different ways and perceptions about gambling, whether it's offline gambling or online casinos. everything is connected to our own thoughts, and how we handle them.
before online casinos appeared, offline gambling was the most popular among gambling lovers. in fact, some are willing to come from far away places just to visit a gambling house to fulfill their desires. just imagine, apart from trying to travel long distances, usually we will prepare money with the bankroll that we have prepared beforehand. except for rich people, they can do anything according to their mood at any time. before the rise of online casinos, gambling addicts already existed and were normal.

Well, now let's discuss the online casino side. posted previously, I have mentioned the efficiency side of online casinos apart from their convenience for us. the question is, which is safer than offline or online gambling. for me it's the same, there's no significant difference. I can explain it according to my own opinion, but it's useless because every gambler has a different perspective. what I want to emphasize is, we are currently in the digital era. from traditional, offline, land-based gambling and it's time to become an online casino. nothing is truly safe, because we are aware and know very well that we are playing to bet. regarding other aspects, it all depends on how we look at it and how we make it as safe as possible. at least, we don't become gambling addicts. and this is an ideal and safe condition for us gamblers.

This does not happen always. Sometimes online casinos ask for KYC for withdrawals where you do not have privacy at all. It could be more dangerous compared to offline gambling. For example, I have heard that several casinos get hacked often, and imagine hackers stole your identity and then you were accused of doing something that you never did. Even platforms sell their users KYC data on the darknet, which could be terrible for privacy.

This is true and I agree with that. Both options have some negative and some positive sides. But I always discourage anyone to start gambling. No matter if it's online or offline.
