Gradually reducing the activities we do can be done, but the most important thing is that there is a desire from the gambler to reduce it. Without it, gamblers will not be able to reduce their gambling activities and will instead become more involved in gambling. It depends on how high their intention is to reduce their gambling, especially if they have realized that they often experience losses at gambling, so they feel that this might be the time to reduce their gambling activities. If they already have a strong intention to reduce their gambling activities, they can start trying to reduce it and do other things to divert their attention from gambling.

By continuing to do new things, gamblers can reduce their gambling activities until they finally recover from their gambling addiction. This may require a long process, especially if they have been gambling for a long time and need time to build a new habit. But it is worth doing if they want to cure their gambling addiction.

Budgets are a good way to manage finances but when it comes to gambling very few people can follow their game plan because emotions come into play and clouds one's judgement,  ego and stubbornness can lead to going off course...sometimes having a string of losses means you don't care about the outcome and end up going in for a double or nothing.

Btw that 5% profit target only works well with a big bankrolls, for the smaller ones it means risking higher amounts to make this small profit...

This is a great suggestion and these browser companies need to be tasked with this assignment to help curb gambling addiction before more younger people get hooked to this and worse case scenario lead to sucide for losing too much money.
 

If you have that will in you it's possible that you will be able to achieve your goal in stopping whatever it is or what kind of addiction that is present in you, self-will and determination to eliminate that kind of problem inside can only be done if you are really willing to work on it, there are process and will rely with how a person will deal on it and how he will plan his way to achieve and remove that problem that temporary residing inside your brain.

Actually for gambler habit can't stop drastically from gambling, excited with your way how slowly can stop from gambling habit by reduce time activities and more spent for another worth activities. Have to try by the other if want stop totally with gambling but nice ideas if adopting limit fund for gambling. Reduce fund for depositing in gambling account in daily day start from 5% until 10% and when losing all have to stop totally with gambling or playing for entertainment only not for gambling habit. Like smoke we can able stop it slowly by reducing every day one or two cigarette until one or two months will success from bad habit activities.
Its need time with two way above and OP can try its slowly don't push your self for stopping drastically because all habit need process step by step.

Sometimes to change an addictive habit, you should reduce it gradually and not put too much pressure on it, you have to stop quickly, which actually ends up torturing yourself. Set your gambling time and reduce it gradually will change your desire to gamble in the end, but there are levels, sometimes there are some. High levels can take a long time and low levels of addiction may be faster.

I succeeded in using this method by reducing it slowly, finally I was able to stop smoking and also my friend was able to stop gambling and focus more on his activities in business, sometimes everything needs a process, even forming bad habits like gambling to becoming an addict takes the same process. Likewise, if you want to reduce it, it also takes time.

They can look for alternative ways to reduce their gambling time, but unfortunately, many people still don't want to do that because they have found comfort in gambling. That's what makes them gamble again and spend their time gambling even though they have more time to use it so they can reduce their gambling. If they could do this, they could reduce their gambling addiction and would have more activities that could prevent them from returning to gambling.

Those who are already addicted need to be aware of this and try to return to gambling, even if it is difficult. If they keep trying over time, they will see that they can reduce their gambling. If they can reduce their gambling time, they can also slowly think less about gambling.

Our focus is making money, reason why we fall into the category of gamble system. Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction starts from the mindset and determination to quit it totally, and not with mere thoughts. Words without action is dead, so we have to take drastic actions to quit it, compulsory for us to delete these gambling apps and also keeping our ears clear off gambling channels and news from our colleagues who gamble, rather we should concentrate on doing other non-gambling activities like engaging in recreational games more frequently. 

A great success competing with your own self, that is something that really hard to achieved, gambling activities can be minimized if you can look for alternative ways to kill your time, any activities that will allow you forget about anything that relates with gambling, it can be easily be done for people who are not addicted yet and the engagements is not that deep.

While for someone who already has that deep engagement and already suffering from addiction, they needed to have a powerful self-will to move away and try to limit themself from getting anything close or related to gambling.

People can delete gambling applications, so they can't always visit the casino, especially if they want to reduce their gambling time. But if they have nothing else to do besides gambling and still have free time, they can return to gambling and gamble again. It is very necessary to build a new activity so that he can divert his attention from gambling, and it is indeed difficult, but it will come back to each gambler. If they want to reduce their gambling time, they will keep trying until they can do it. If they are successful, they can smile because they have managed their gambling time well and will not think too much about gambling. They know that gambling is just entertainment and should treat gambling as entertainment.

While the determination to leave gambling behind can get you far, those which want to do this need to look for professional help as well.

This is like trying to get in better shape, you could do it on your own, but if you go to a gym and consult a coach which has done this all their life then you will get faster results for less effort.

And while there are many scenarios in which you may decide to save yourself the effort, I do not think this should be done when we are talking about an addiction, as leaving it behind is often described by those that did it as the most difficult thing they did on their lives.

The gambler may not like the gambling before and get addicted in the future days.Because the gambling had the hue spice thrill to the people who use the gambling for the long run.The gambler who win from the gambling will always get huge excitement as compared to the person who loss their money in the gambling.The loss surely affect the gambler,but the winning will allow the gambler to settle in their life.The many unemployed settle in the life using the gambling.The trading need huge money to get profit and settle in the life,the trading also need of big money.But the gambling need less money and big win from it.

Well, it's the only place where we can discuss such things because it's where most gamblers gather to share thoughts, games, and news about casinos why not tips to quit and fight addiction. IMO I don't think the solution is to quit entirely as that might only make your cravings for gambling worse. Let's say that if you give your best effort and stay away from gambling for several months, do you believe that the next time you gamble it will be better than before or worse? I believe it will likely be worse because you won't have control over the cravings you have been fighting for the past months, likely leading to spending all your money in one place in short time.

So I believe the solution is to focus on controlling the amount you gamble. Instead of investing too much money in gambling, consider spending those funds elsewhere or start an investment. It's okay to gamble once or twice a week with a smaller amount of money just for fun as long as it doesn't become an addiction and hurt you financially.

You can't entirely escape those ads they're everywhere, on television, in emails, on billboards and even from friends or people talking about their winnings or bets. So if you consider gambling as an enemy, they say to keep your friends close but your enemies closer.

My small tip: when I want to gamble with a bigger amount of money I say is it better to risk this amount of money with a potential of losing it or spend it buying something else (clothes, trip, good dinner…)

That's right, I agree with you. Your family will be the first ones to help you when you are in need or in trouble.
Yes, it will really help if you delete the apps about gambling or blocking casino adds and sites, but I still think it's
still not enough. You also need to look at other habits to divert your attention. There are many things to do besides gambling. Yes it's hard but if you're determined to stop, you can do it, you'll get over it too. Nothing is impossible for someone who wants to change. Just trust yourself that you can handle it

Honestly, I don't really know the real benefits of this gambling and for all of them gamblers, but certainly and what I know is that casinos will always run this business in various forms as the times develop for their new generation, of course none other than this is only for a big profit and the question is who doesn't want money? casinos will obviously continue to pursue this profit and also gamblers as losers will continue to hope for victory. But I say losers only for those who put more hope there, we must know that the system is made by the house for their benefit and that means no matter how hard you fight there in reality the house will still be more profitable than you. I'll give credit to those who come just for the entertainment, because that's what they're supposed to do.

And yeah like the title above, if you and your heart don't want to quit then go ahead and enjoy the downturn that will continue to befall you. Basically it is quite difficult to stop if they themselves do not want to stop, some advice will not be useful and those who are able to change it are from themselves. Addiction has ruined everything especially financially, and in my opinion if you really want to quit then you can start from now by reducing all the activities that are there, especially reducing your budget.

I agree gambling can never be stopped earlier this gambling was seen live but nowadays gambling has taken a new form through digital media. No one will understand even if the information is hidden by gambling. In that case, the person should be in control. Betting between individuals on the outcome of a betting game or something else involves the exchange of money or valuables with the winner. To the naked eye it looks like a mere challenge but its intentions are not noble. Keep yourself away from gambling addiction and try to engage in family activities. Try not to over involve them in helping solve financial and other problems caused by gambling.

This is the more reasons one should have limit to some certain activities or engagement. Truly nobody can correct oneself so fast and it takes some processes and procedures which would warrant an easy task assigned to making sure that one does the right thing in doing away with some habits being addiction. When it comes to gamble, there are other measures on can take which when applied can help reduce ones gambling addiction. Lots of them have been listed by other members of you read through, you would see them.
The thought of addiction alone is very worrisome because when it gets to that stage, it becomes a burden to not only the gambler but also to the family of the gambler because it has gone beyond control and as such one would need to put some self control measures or mechanism to help curtail the excesses from their gambling life.

Nobody can correct itself in a faster way, what's important here is we should think for the long term effect that gambling could result to not just for our own but also for the family. Online ads is misleading and not those that promised high odds will become the reality. Lets be careful every time because we might be a future victims of non legit sites that will take huge amount of money from us. Once you got that bad experience, I believed we might fall into changing ourselves for a new journey for gambling perspectives.

Yes that right, the living environment and relationships will greatly influence a person gambling activities because those who initially don't like gambling will try and start to carry out gambling activities if they often hang out with gamblers and the desire to try can become more dominant.
Likewise if a gambling addict wants to decide to try to limit or even stop gambling but on the other hand he still hangs out with people who like to gamble it will be very difficult for him to stop.
From here it can be said with certainty that the living environment and relationships have a big impact on the habits of actions that are often carried out.

When some people become gambling addicts, they prioritize gambling over the necessities of life even worse there are also those who abandon or ignore the fate of their families.

A gambler must always have long term thinking so that they do not get into trouble or experience problems in family or social life.
It would be a shame if someone experienced destruction because they became a gambling addict.

Yes, we can only do it gradually, especially if it still seems difficult for him. Giving him other activities that can keep him busy so he doesn't think about gambling is another way he can do so that at least it can reduce his gambling activities at the casino. This path can also open the way to make him aware that there are still many activities he can do that can give him pleasure and not just from gambling. If he increasingly realizes that he is gambling too often and using a lot of money to gamble, he will start to change that habit and try other things that have nothing to do with gambling.
