Here is it;
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.
No ads or anything, if you have been exposed to a gambling addiction, the ideas you put out in this thread will not work IMO. I believe in one thing, but before that, I agree with the point that one member said that responsible gambling comes from within us and how we discipline ourselves.
Well, according to what you said, it is possible for someone to change their browser settings to prevent gambling related advertisements. however, the move is another factor and not the main point. Gambling addiction, can be caused by many factors behind it. in every case of gamblers, how to handle it will be different. not just avoid how to block ads or other and such. however, this is very closely related to us IMO.
For me any theory or idea, the point is in ourselves. believe, that we have full power over ourselves. if we had the notions like I said, at least someone wouldn't turn to gambling as a way to make a quick buck. or, wanting to get consistent big wins. ideally, we should have our own definition of gambling. what do we look for and want from gambling, this question must be answered by every gambler. well, for myself, gambling is part of the entertainment and can be used as a means of relaxation after activities from work routines. even then, there are rules that I have made a benchmark.
Speaking of addiction, I always say, if someone doesn't intend to end it and doesn't have a strong determination inside. they will be hard-pressed to let go of their dependency, even if they have blocked gambling ads like you said in this thread.
