I have never had to deal with someone going through something as difficult like gambling addiction. However, I believe that one of the most important things to count on while trying to curb gambling addiction or any other kind of addiction is having people who cares: Family and actual friends who can intervene and put some effort onto helping.

From there, it is easier to coordinate and find some professional help, but if one does not have friends or family, the descent into complete mental and physical ruin is almost certain. That is why is so important to care for those who have shown kindness to us.

Instead asking for loans to gamble all away, ask for help and forgiveness.

The truth in this regard is both fundamental and, at the same time, complex, and something that might be misjudged.

However, it must be considered that addiction, be it gambling or otherwise, is not merely a social problem but a psychological and biological one too. Its not just about having people around you who care; professional help can be vital.

You state that descent into ruin is almost certain without friends or family, but it may not be so clear-cut. Addiction's complexity means that personal willpower, professional therapy, medical treatment, and even self-help resources can also play crucial roles.

The act of asking for help and forgiveness is powerful, yet this oversimplifies a deeply complicated issue; professional help must not be neglected

What makes you think that a person who is addicted to gambling won't just go to the settings and unblock the websites they use to gamble? The urge to gamble can make an addicted gambler do anything only to get access to gambling if they have got money, so this wouldn't really be able to stop them from gambling in my opinion. It might be useful if someone isn't yet addicted and they want to reduce their screen time with gambling because they can control the urge.

A gambler who has become a heavy addict can only be stopped if someone else helps them get out of it, maybe reduce their access to their devices or make them get access to only a limited amount of money and keep the rest somewhere safe so that they can use them later when needed.

This is same as you talking about self discipline and restrictions. Self discipline plays a big role in ones life by helping an individual to controlling their excess towards something and gambling is not exempted from it. As you can see, what I have said is not a difficult one for anybody who wants to limit or stop their gambling habits. Lots of people have contributed to this in one way or the other on how addicted gamblers can minimise their gambling habits and back to their normal self but I believe doing this takes a gambler who is prepared to do the needful in limiting their gambling lifestyle.

So therefore, if anyone is ready to limit their gambling habits, they could do just this small exercise so as to achieve their aim without any bias. It would not cost anything to just follow the steps coupled with self discipline and consistency.

Yeah with determination and willingness it's doable but if there's none that self-discipline will serve as a word and nothing will be change, it's easy saying that with this or with that you can accomplished something but in reality, it's hard to practice what is easy for us to say, but if you are into this problem specifically with gambling addiction where denial still inside you, that self-discipline thing will be tougher to practice from time to time, to the point that you will mostly exceed and suffer than the numbers that you will manage to stop and use your set limitations.

I have been tired of hearing the methods to stop online gambling addiction when there does not exist any method to get rid of addiction except the willingness and the urge by the gambler himself to avoid it and become a responsible gambler.

No person and no force can earth can stop a gambling addict from online gambling even if you put restrictions on such a person or advice him to limit his gambling activities. He needs to make a promise to himself that he is willing to get rid of his gambling addiction.

Its all into your mind if we do speak about quitting or stopping gambling addiction, it is really just that its really that hard for someone to be able to do so specially if they are a type of person whose not really that good
when it comes to controlling yourself on various things then you would definitely fail on making yourself stop on gambling on which this is something that would really be that situational or not all
would really be that good when it comes on controlling themselves and this is why we do really have tons or lots of addicted gamblers on this space because of failing on trying out to reassess on what they are currently
been that dealing off with. Gambling isnt bad but on the sense that you do find yourself having that kind of impulsive approach when it comes to gambling then it would really be just that right that you should really
be that careful on making any decisions because one mistake then you would really be falling out into a situation which it would really be affecting your finances.

Blocking any website related to gambling ads might help addiction controlled but I dount this will work in long term since there’s many way to see any gambling related staff and also knowing that you block gambling website will just make you curious on it later on. Controlling your self in the presence of gambling exposure is the best way to fight addiction instead of running away since you can’t runaway on things that you have access easily.

Controlling oneself will undoubtedly decrease gambling, and I am corresponding to the system's established regulations. We're exposed in all we do in our current society; gambling is never an option; rather, we pay full attention to what provides for our salaries and, at first, our challenges. Blocking pop-up gambling websites isn't even enough to eliminate gambling; it's everywhere, at work, and on the streets. One method for preventing oneself from engaging in gambling activities is discipline; it is not simple, but we have no choice but to deal with it.

Hard challenges in everyday life but with discipline and good self determination it's doable and it will help you to prevent any gambling activities, if you have that control over yourself the chance of not to allow any gambling addiction can take place, though the chance to get addicted is also possible as engaging to gambling is really alluring, there are many activities and advertisement that gambling owners will do just to continue gaining attentions and possible visitors and players, you have to win the battle inside you and prevent any deeper engagement or if possible not to engage that's much better.

If you like, delete every gambling related ads on your PC and your phone, find the best ad-blocker and make sure not a single gambling ads pops up on your screen, It's all about the mind, if your mind is set in on something it will be very hard to let go, why not work on yourself if you can't do without gambling? Since gambling is money-oriented, all you have to do is avoid destroying your life with gambling, and the best way is to always have budget for gambling, your gambling rules is to never go over a certain amount per week for gambling, and also make sure you understand the risk of losing money, if it's gone there is no reason to chase.

Blocking gambling ads is not the solution, since the forum has many gambling projects running adverts through members and I have been seeing it for a long time, still I am not a gambling addict, learn to gamble in a safe way, that's all you need to do.

Self limitation and always make sure not to exceed to anything that you setup in terms of gambling, blocking ads will not completely let you avoid any gambling related activities, it will just lessen but there are still many other venues that will earn your attentions and possible to direct you back or lead you back into gambling.

I am of the opinion that since gambling sites are mostly online and some has adds that pops up as advert on visited site, one should be able to disable or change their browser settings by blocking casino adds and as well disabling gambling sites on their browser settings so as not to gain access to it anymore till the number of days they deem fit to their resolve. This was just a little tip I gave as a possible solution. I had to put it up here for further discussions so that the bigger community can see it as well.

If you feel or think here is not the right place for this you can say it. I am open to corrections as we all are here to learn.

No offense, but this topic is seriously getting pretty annoying that we keep tackling anything about gambling addiction. Does anyone in this community become addicted to gambling or does anyone in here a gambling addict?
I don't think that idea of yours will work either, why? well, pretty much because everyone who reads this post are regularly checking in gambling thread - so I don't see any sense in blocking any gambling ads while you're regularly visiting and participating in a gambling discussions. But, seriously I don't think we need more "gambling addiction" topic in here, because there is no one here who's seeking for help to control his gambling habits (please correct me if I missed something, but please no made up stories).

- Usually, even if you tell addicted gamblers to stop their gambling habit, they cannot immediately change it or get rid of it because it has become a routine in their personality and body.

Only their determination and decision can really do something for them to stop or avoid it., that's why other close family and friends to a gambling addict can show patience to help him. Because they can actually play a big part in changing a gambling addict.

They won't immediately change or eliminate it, but we have to be able to remind them. And not only reminding us but we also have to be able to open their minds by inviting them to do something that has nothing to do with gambling. By doing something like that, after a while, they will think about changes in themselves so that they will slowly want to open themselves up and try to start changing. This may require more attention from the people around him so that the gambling addict can know that there are still people who care about him so he also wants to be invited to change in a better direction.

Thank you. Self control. An addict can't escape it. It is the world we live in now. So many gambling adverts. If you block it on your phone, you will meet the adverts in the metro, on the bus. They are everywhere. The best resort is to develop your will. And one of the best methods or strategies to do so , is to engage one's self in learning a new skill, a sport or exercise. The exercise I recommend is running. Running is sustainable. You do not need a gym membership for this just you running shoes and you are set. If a gambler can start running daily, whether they feel like it or not, they will be able to train their minds to beat the urge to gamble again if that is what they want.

this type of blocking is already possible, just ask for exclusion from individual gambling sites and block ads on your browser. about ads, move to Italy these are illegal Wink

even with an "organic solution" likewise a "all in one application" I think it will remain the same issue: how to check access from an external computer or simply using another identity? how to manage physical betting place since they doesn't requires any ID? Roll Eyes

I know gambling ads are illegal in some countries in Europe but I never knew it was this severe for an influencer to promote gambling platform in any form digital. I don't see anything wrong with someone promoting a casino online since it is a digital means. I am still very happy that there are so many countries that supports gambling and it advertisement without any compromise from the government. That means it will be very difficult to gamble in Italy since the government are already against gambling with strictness and anyone found guilty can be penalized.

I do believe there's a way to do that. Something like an Ad Blocker or whatever they call them. That way you won't see those kinds of advertisements anymore. Or, the child mode in some settings, that's to protect the kids from watching such ads.
It is a good idea that you point this out. Many gamblers do start from just a simple ads and they become gambling addicts in the long run.
Perhaps, we could push something like the gambling site itself offering the application for free so that their ads will be blocked. Although, I am definitely sure it cannot be cleaned 100 percent because some blogs or websites can still avoid such blockers.

Everything that is in favor of avoiding addiction in people is something that should be taken as a good idea, the casinos should accept these things, the ads are always good, but it is also a good idea that the casinos be at the top of the page should put a risk warning, where gamblers can read that there are always many risks in gambling, that it is advisable to only bet what they can lose and not to bet more than normal so they don't go bankrupt or worse You don't have to bet more than the amount, because otherwise you will lose everything and the fun is gone, that may be a warning that every casino should have.

It is indeed quite challenging for someone to be able to quit online gambling addiction, because it is not that easy, even when blocking online gambling ads is not enough to stop someone from being able to stop gambling, they must be completely disconnected from the online world at some period of time to cure their addiction, there is no other way than this. Besides they have to intensively consult professionals, they also need people who will stop them when they want to gamble again. With this they may be able to recover from their gambling addiction.

For a gambling addict, they would not take such precautions but would just let it go. If he had close people around him, those people would block gambling sites on his computer. The gambling addict will not see this as a way to prevent him from gambling because he will not care about this either. This requires the attention of the people around him who want to see what he is doing so that people can know that he has been gambling too long or alone in his room. After that, if these people really cared about the gambling addict, they would make an effort to check his room and even his computer to see what he was doing. And when they find that the gambling addict is gambling a lot, maybe they can do something to warn him.

- Usually, even if you tell addicted gamblers to stop their gambling habit, they cannot immediately change it or get rid of it because it has become a routine in their personality and body.

Only their determination and decision can really do something for them to stop or avoid it., that's why other close family and friends to a gambling addict can show patience to help him. Because they can actually play a big part in changing a gambling addict.

There have been dozens of topics being created in addressing gambling addiction but I do think that the only way to resolve this is to actually admit that you indeed suffer from it.

Suffering from any kind of addiction is difficult to change overnight. It is a process that must be followed faithfully by the person and he must be fully committed to change his/her habits from it. I really recommend that switching to another form of activity is a way to at least reduce the chances of a person being fully addicted to gambling.

At the end of the day, gambling addiction has become rampant ever since the pandemic happened. I just hope the government creates programs in order to proactively address these issues as it is slowly getting out of hand for some people.

Hehehe. Loved your first line. It just hits the nail on the head. Most times even disabling ads on your browser may not be as efficient as being proactive in the effort to either quit it in total or reduce the attention one gives to it. Even just entertaining the thought, might cause an impulse process to file up, waiting for the day ones emotions or ego gets the better of them while caught gambling yet again.

Even with ad blocking, it is very difficult to stop online gambling addiction. Gambling addiction goes to such a stage that the person is not in control of himself.
