Topic: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. (Read 4528 times)

Even if you block gambling advertisements in any social media platforms, if a person is really interested to know more about that gambling, They can do anything just to know more about that activity, especially now that everything is easily accessible once you have your device and internet connection, right? If a person is really addicted in gambling, no matter how hard we try to prevent them from gambling, they find a way just to do it. Do you notice? that's why others end up doing bad thingd and worst case leads to crime just so they can do what they want. It would be good if an addicted person is admitted to a rehabilitation center because there they can focus better, away from things that can remind them about gambling and of course they can be helped to recover when there are medications with them.

Op this is actually a good idea, but blocking the Ads not to pop up on the screen might not really work for gambling addicts. when someone is addicted, the person finds every possible measure to solve his or her problem and by all means. that is to say that when you block the Ads not to pop up on the screen the person must find a way to unblock it unless the person is not an addict. life is full of different challenges and i believe that the only way to tackle addiction challenge is self-discipline and total abstinence from gambling.

In addition, there are so many other ways to stop someone from being an addict, isolation and relocating the person to remote Areas from time to time where network and making new friends will be his major challenges because before he will adapt to the new environment considering the nature of network, he might outrightly quick gambling entirely. however, environment plays major role in one's gambling addiction and can also help to ameliorate the adverse effects of gambling addiction when the person finds it very difficult to adapt in his new environment.

There is actually no fixed rules for gambling addiction decline but rather there are some written down guidelines theoretically proven to have the potentials of limiting or minimising the rate at which an individual or a gambler gambles. This act of limiting ones addiction is a personal decision. If a gambler is prepared and have made up their mind to stop gambling, that would help the process to scale smoothly because they are ready to do it as their mind is already made up to stop gambling but it would be a gradual process which involves phases.
Most gamblers do not really take their time to read out the rules and principles of gambling before they engage with it but rather, they are only concerned with the profit they could take home and as a result of such thought, they begin to gamble excessively and irresponsible which would result to their addiction.
Stopping gambling addiction is a personal decision and if any addicted gambler is Willingly to stop gambling, it. Should be from their personal conviction so that the process would be okay without any problems.

OP actually there's no fix rules for gambling addicted people that could help them to become normal from there addiction. Wherever You are saying, by blocking websites or similar steps may work as little limitation but it won't stop anyone until a person has strong mind set to avoid gambling. Online is not only the place where gamblers do gambling but also they can do same thing in locally with other person or can visit casino house himself. So i think to prevent auch addiction, it is necessary to make them realise how addiction impect their lives and how dangerous it could be when you gambling irresponsibly without following rules

If those who have the habit of gambling at online casinos have self-control, they will not fall deeper into gambling and can still gamble well and enjoy it too. What is important is how we can control ourselves when gambling and where we can gamble because we gamble online, which means we can gamble anywhere. But we have to be able to adjust the place so that we don't just gamble randomly. And if we really want to reduce the gambling activities we do, we have to be really strict in limiting those gambling activities so that we can really reduce them.

We cannot always be connected to the online casino because we also have other activities that we have to do so if we can arrange a gambling schedule, we will not experience any problems and can enjoy gambling. We must control our gambling activities and not fall deeper into gambling without clear boundaries because that will only give us problems and we will not be able to enjoy gambling as entertainment. If after we have been gambling for a while and feel that gambling can have an impact or problem for us, it is better for us to immediately stop gambling and not gamble again and look for other activities that are safer and do not have problems like the ones we face in gambling.

That's because people find it easy to access online casino sites and they can gamble wherever they want. They also don't need to go outside the house and can gamble in their room while relaxing. But behind this convenience, there is a risk that they will face where they can gamble longer because no one sees them. They already get pleasure from their gambling games, making them gamble longer than usual. And this can make the younger generation addicted to gambling faster than they imagine because, by gambling in their room or with friends, they can freely spend their time without anyone watching them.

That's why when playing online gambling, we really need better self-control because of the temptations that we will see throughout the day so we have to be able to restrain ourselves from being tempted. Many gamblers are tempted to try other gambling games and they will deposit more money which will not increase their chances of winning. We have to be careful when gambling at online casinos and don't let us experience a lot of losses without being able to stop our gambling activities because that will only make us experience gambling addiction problems.

Currently, many people are turning to online gambling compared to gambling places, because online gambling can be accessed easily on each person's cell phone and can be used wherever we are, therefore there are so many enthusiasts that we see lots of people there are people who are addicted to gambling, even young people who are addicted to online gambling and to prevent this, they must get help from friends or family in limiting internet use or cellphone use so that they cannot access online gambling.

Of course, someone who uses online gambling must be able to control himself so that he is not easily tempted by exciting gambling games because sometimes when a gambler who makes a deposit unknowingly spends his money on gambling because he is not aware that he has fallen into the mind of online gambling, therefore You have to be careful when using gambling, whether offline or online, everything carries the risk of loss and also addiction if you are not able to control yourself.

FYI winning is not the source of addiction becoming you will obviously not get addicted to play more if you already have a lot of money from profit. The desire of people to win is the root of addiction because if you didn’t desire to have what is out of reach for your right means you will not pursue playing more.

Human greediness to get more is what keeps gambler addicted on playing. Winning is part of the game and you can actually win on different aspect of your life yet you are not addicted. Gambling is a shortcut to earn or lose money that’s why human desire is always turns to addiction when it comes to this activity.

Those who work and are constantly connected to the internet will definitely find it difficult to get rid of the habit of gambling at online casinos, but if they are confident and consistently control themselves it can definitely be done, for example I work using the internet also in my office so it doesn't allow me to gamble on the spot. work, let alone accessing the gambling sites that I usually play on, I know how to control myself and know when to gamble so I don't force myself to gamble anywhere.

Everyone must have control like that because otherwise they will continue to be connected to online casinos forever. In fact, there is no problem if you want to gamble at an online casino as long as it is within reasonable limits and you can be responsible. It doesn't matter as long as you know the right place to access the gambling itself. Sometimes people don't know where they are, even in public places, they still try to access gambling sites, including at work, even though they could reduce their online gambling addiction by getting used to reducing their activities because if they continue to let this habit happen, it will get worse and be difficult to cure.

Those who get completely addicted to gambling will not accept any obstacles to gamble. They will overcome all obstacles to gamble. Winning is an addiction that once addicted to gambling can never stay away from gambling.  .Those who are addicted to such gambling have a lot of trouble in their future.I am trying to correct myself a little by seeing many people lose all their money to gambling.

Talking about this gambling addiction is not something too difficult to put a stop, it all takes one's acceptance of reality at the very consequences of continuing gambling.
It is required for anyone who is wanting to end online gambling addiction should focus more on finding a physical means of earning and avoid staying on the phone so the thoughts of gambling will not be felt, doing a physical job will make the addict spend more time working and pay less concentration to gambling.

you are right, this is only a temporary solution but it will help you to improve your habit somehow because if you really want to start avoiding it, that's where you start with the easiest and smallest way, step by step as it were. you need to do it gradually so that your mind will not shocked when you adjust to avoiding gambling, it is also the same as how a person can reduce and stop other vices.

That's why many people are now starting to play online gambling via their devices because it makes it easier for them to gamble even when they are hanging out with their friends. Even though it seems difficult to stop gambling activities, they can still try and it indeed depends on their desire to limit their gambling activities. If they still have difficulty limiting their gambling activities, they can ask their friends or even other family members for help so that they can understand the situation and conditions they are facing. Maybe apart from blocking the site, the person should also reduce their device use and do more physical activity for a while so that their mind can be distracted from thinking about gambling.

People who can use the internet easily should really control themselves because there are many temptations they can find on the internet and they will not realize that they are using it. They must have completely stopped their gambling activities before it is too late so that they do not fall into gambling. They can still gamble but they must be able to really limit their gambling activities so that they can enjoy gambling as entertainment.

Yes, online gambling addiction is widespread everywhere because online gambling is easy to access on everyone's cellphone, especially Androids and it is not uncommon for people to do it in public when they gather with friends. Many people play online gambling. How to stop it is depending on themselves you can stop it by limiting your internet usage so you don't play online gambling or you can block the site so you can't use it anymore, but we all know that there are so many online gambling sites that we don't have time to block them all.

Because of its easy access, people can use it all the time, anywhere as long as there is internet access, that's what causes people to become addicted to online gambling, therefore as long as they don't have the intention to stop their gambling activities, they will continue to do it because of their habit of holding cellphones and do these activities, limit your expenses and don't make deposits continuously. If you don't have a balance then you can stop gambling temporarily.

The things that make it difficult for an addict to get out of their addiction phase is firstly because their main focus is always on winning so it makes it difficult for them to ignore any time not to gamble, simply put they put their hopes on winning so all they want is to keep trying to gamble, and the other thing is that there are some ways that they consider as an alternative if they run out of money and obviously you already said that it is "loans" and this obviously makes it even more difficult for gamblers to stop, Actually, loans are a good alternative that most people use when they are in urgent need, but "loans" will be a dangerous option and trap yourself if you use them for the wrong things like gambling, because this will cause new problems in addition to your addiction problems such as getting into debt.

As I said above, addicted gamblers all they want to do is gamble and that means when they have money they will prioritize gambling over paying back the loans they have taken out and this is the reason why gamblers are very likely to end up in debt. Diverting one's mind to other activities is very useful as a cure for an addicted person, it's a good alternative but to do this requires first realizing that "gambling is making me more and more ruined" and with this realization it will be easy for them to divert their mind to other activities as you suggested.

This means that people with devices must have limits so they can have limits in gambling and will not gamble if they are not free. This must be done by themselves so that they do not gamble excessively and can use gambling as entertainment. That's what is important to do so that they don't get a lot of problems arising from gambling.

It depends on the wishes of each person who gambles because if they think there are no problems, as long as they use the device to gamble, they will continue gambling. But actually, what they do with their devices in gambling has started to cause problems; they just don't realize it. This means that there must be awareness among each person who uses their device to gamble so that they can see that it is having a bad influence on them, so they must start reducing their gambling activities.

In today's time, even if we do that, if we use social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube, we can still see gambling ads.
Especially on Facebook, gambling ads are rampant, and the majority of those who promote gambling online that can be downloaded on mobile devices are female influencers whose promotion of gambling is a deception.

So, I think blocking it will be useless in some other ways, but as long as we can avoid it let do our best to apply what it is right
for it in this matter.

Online addiction is very difficult to cure, therefore it is best to try to stop and stop gambling activities until everything returns to normal, in many cases when someone starts to realize they are addicted to gambling, they ignore it until in the end, the longer the time they stick to gambling, the more difficult it is to cure them. People are more often addicted to online gambling because of easy access by using a cellphone, everyone can gamble.

If access is not easy, it will not be possible for people to gamble online easily. I believe that by stopping the habit of not using a cellphone, it can help and also distance yourself from access to online gambling sites. The easiest thing to do is try to avoid the internet and cellphones. The most effective thing in trying to stop online gambling addiction, I think your community needs to do it before it's too late and you become a serious gambling addiction that is ultimately difficult to cure. Many of my gambling friends have gone bankrupt just because they are addicted to gambling. I hope your community is not like that. 

Every gambler must accept whatever results they will get, especially their losses, they must be able to control themselves because if you are not able to control yourself, gambling will take over your entire mind to continue gambling until you can recover your losses and be able to make a profit even though there is no continuous gambling guarantee your money will be returned and you can win because in fact you will lose even more.
I have seen online gambling addiction occur a lot around my community just because they find it difficult to control themselves and keep trying to gain profits from the site but until now they have only downturn due to always experiencing losses.

Your idea to use browser settings to block or turn off casino ads and sites is a good one that will help keep people from getting hooked on gambling. Stopping yourself from seeing things that make you want to gamble can help people who are addicted to gaming lose their desire to gamble online. Harm reduction tries to lessen the bad things that happen when people do things that are addicting. This way fits with that thought. Adding these kinds of settings to your browser can help people who are trying to beat their addiction and urge them to play games responsibly. Getting more people to know about these options and pushing them to try similar ones can also help build a community that works well at treating gambling addiction.

A very brilliant idea indeed, but it comes back to each individual. really want to stop or just temporarily stop gambling. If it stops forever it's good, but if it's only temporary you will definitely find it difficult because to access it again you have to unblock it again. and if it continues like that, you will most likely not pay attention to site blocks anymore. instead it just keeps leaving it open.
