The effects of gambling addiction I think is known to majority of people who knows about gambling and it's activities as it's rendered a lot of people both young and old who became gambling addicts useless.
 That being said, the main topic of discussion is what are the possible ways to stop online gambling addiction. Every online gambler must surely have account or accounts with gambling companies before they can gamble with their online platforms and that's why I think one good step to take in other to stop anyone who's addicted to online gambling to deactivate every account with any gambling company.

The gambler should engaged himself on the other activities like new business which increase the income to multiple way.Because to the current economy,the one way of the income will not satisfy all of our needs in our day to day life.The gambler can also mange their time by playing the other game in offline,by this their physical activities also increased because of the offline game like cricket.So the gambler will have less time to do gambling,in this way he can increase the income and also can reduce the gambling addiction.When the gambler not ready to follow this steps,he will have their wish to back to gambling again and again.

Yes, it's true, to be able to really stop gambling addiction requires time and strong belief. When an addict runs out of money they may say “I'll stop gambling” but when he gets money he immediately deposits again. It is not easy to cure someone who is addicted to gambling. They will always return to gambling when they have money.

Addicts need to stay away from two things to make it easier to stop gambling, firstly money and secondly devices that can connect to gambling sites (smartphones, laptops, etc.).

And it is those who are addicted to gambling that we must avoid because it can cause us to lose all our money. We might even borrow from other people to fulfill the desire to gamble that has deepened within us. This must be prevented immediately before we really have difficulty avoiding it. We must use other methods to fill our free time and refrain from gambling too often to avoid the desire to gamble getting stronger.

That is true because the gambler feels he has shortcomings, so he decides to gamble because that is what can make him enjoy his life without other people. However, if he can open himself up to other people around him, he may find that some people still care about him and want to be close to him. This may just be due to a misunderstanding between the gambling addict and the people around him so that each of them feels insignificant to the others. But if each of them is willing to understand each other, there will be a way to solve every problem.

The gambling addiction can’t be recovered in the short period of time,the people who win for the big money get addicted to the gambling because of earning the big money.If the gambler had learned he was in the gambling addiction,it was easy for the gambler to get away the gambling addiction.The percentage of people get addicted due to the greedy of earning more money from the betting was more compared to the gambler who target the loss in the gambling.If you get into the habit of break in the gambling after the loss will help you to get away from the gambling addiction because for targeting the loss.

We can just schedule our gambling session and activities and limit the time put to it.  We can look for diversion in order to occupy some of our free time.  Gambling in moderation is not bad, what bad is when we got hooked in gambling and spend all our time trying to get ourselves a huge win.


The feeling of being understood and being supported is one of the most needed by a gambling addict.  If he felt that he is not being set aside and see his family is willing to help him recover, as long as a gambler wishes to be rehabilitated, the addicted gambler will open up and seek help of his recovery.  The reason why addicted gambler shut off their world from other people is because of the feeling of being contempt and judged and the blame people are putting on them with disgust.

And nowadays the whole world works on making the home more entertaining than the outside ,between having millions of movies and tv series at your disposal with just some subscriptions (or free from torrent as it has been for decades) there are also a lot of other games, and other stuff that you can do.

The technology improved so much that you could literally make amazing art using the "AI" companies websites, which is fun to spend some time with as well. I think it is quite important to make it work one way or another, I believe that it should not be all that difficult to find a way to spend some time.

I personally like playing computer games, do not have that much time to do it as much as I want to be fair, but if I ever stoop gambling and have time to do something else then the games are definitely what I want to do and nothing more. It's quite understanding of what to do and could be a deal where we could end up with a good return without a doubt.

Some help from others such as for example some advice from the closest people and also help from those who are professionals will indeed be enough to help a little to solve the problem of addiction to gamblers, but still it will not fully affect, and maybe the percentage of chances of success is only a few percent. As you said and I agree that basically it will go back to each of them the gamblers themselves, the intention that comes out of themselves is a very important part for a change, this is a mindset problem and only themselves can fully cure it, because it's useless even though there may be a lot of help if they have absolutely no intention of stopping it will be useless. So their intention will be able to change them for the better, and of course it won't work if they don't take any action within themselves.

The mindset is the only important thing they have to change, yes it is true that if one of the impacts of them getting into addiction is due to, for example, environmental factors then that is one that they must avoid. That will be very useful for encouragement and prevention, and the rest is really back to themselves, whether they are serious or not to stop.

It's better to do something else out there than waste time gambling, which can cost us money if we don't have self-control. Doing other things out there can also prevent us from experiencing gambling addiction because playing gambling regularly without self-control has the potential for gambling addiction that we may not be aware of.

We can stop gambling, but the problem is that we often feel unable even though we haven't tried. If we try it, even though it's not a routine, we can see what happens to us and keep trying it so that changes happen to us.

Support and empathy from the family have a big influence on the mental state of the gambling addict because they can see that he is not alone in undergoing therapy, and there is a family who continues to accompany him during the therapy period. This will make gambling addicts enthusiastic and able to go through every therapy process until they can cure their gambling addiction. This will not be easy because there must be unity between his family and the gambling addict so that they can get through everything well. And even though the gambling addict feels tired during his therapy sessions, his family can still encourage him and tell him that he can do it and will do it well.

Yes that's a pretty good alternative that they can do, I also hear advice like that quite often, which is that they should contact or ask for help from professionals to help overcome their addiction problems. That's pretty good because as we know those who are professionals almost fully know about all the conditions that are there and of course most likely they professionals will know what the gambling addict should do if they want to get out of addiction, they can assess at what level the person is addicted and also with that they will be able to provide solutions according to what is needed. Although this alternative is quite good but in my opinion this cannot be completely successful but maybe it will only provide opportunities, because of course it depends on those who are already addicted themselves in responding to it. If they really want to get out of the addiction zone then I'm sure they will be able to change their mindset in gambling by considering all the advice that comes in and also some help from professionals.

True, this step does take time and for certain when they can stop completely it depends on themselves, of course they must be able to help themselves. It's quite sad to hear the story of your friend, thank goodness if indeed now he can change, it must experience bitter things first to realize.

Such thoughts will appear when we are in continuous loss. feel sorry for continuing the game and ultimately continue losing.
Even those who suffer quite large losses do not immediately make it possible to quit gambling. some say keeping us busy with work can turn us away from gambling, but I'm sure that will only happen temporarily. when there is a moment where we can enter gambling again and will have fun again. and maybe the error will occur again.
those who come back after losses should have the distinction to bet more responsibly. otherwise the situation will never change.

One of the possible ways to stop gambling addiction is to seek help from the professionals. They know how to assess and what kind of therapy they should do to make it possible.. It's a step by step assessment and it really takes time. by that, A gambler addict must help their self too. Having strong support from a family and friends is highly encourage and little by little, gambler must avoid anything related to any gambling activities. I know someone who's addicted in gambling and I saw how miserable his life is, To the point that there's nothing left in his pocket and has a lot of pending loans in banks and relatives. he didn't realize all the wrongdoings until his family left him because he didn't want to change for a better. I always advise that gambling is okay as long as you're a responsible in your actions.

Gambling addicted has reduced many gamblers home to nothing, because they are addicted to gambling even though they are not winning the spirit to continue playing until the money they budgeted on that day finish. And it has made gamblers to sold many things that turn their life to a useless life which is a something every genuine human being is afraid not to end up in such way by applying some wisdom to know your limit in gambling. Once you discovered gambling is not favouring you as usual, that is a sign that you need to take some break from gambling to learn so many things that will help you to recover your losses when you are back to gambling again.

Yes, strong support and empathy from the surrounding environment, family, friends, is very important in the recovery process for gambling addicts. With the right help, including therapy and psychological support, they can find ways to overcome their addiction and begin a positive recovery journey.
Providing effective resources and services can also help them understand the root of their problems and develop appropriate strategies to avoid gambling temptations. Ongoing support can play an important role in helping them get back on a healthy and productive path.
Even though it is not completely effective, in my opinion the main factor that influences gambling addicts is the environment.

Addiction will come to us if we bet without any discipline. Discipline is what we halt us from gaming or gambling too much. It is very good for us to always stick to our betting plans since it serves as a guide from becoming a gambling addiction or gambling too much. It is good when we look at our previous gambling experience and work on how to become a better gambler. If we can work on our past or read about those successful gamblers and how they were able to reach the level they are, we are not going to be much problem on how to debug our weakness and be a better gambler.

First to escape addictions,  you must first of all fine out what get you addicted in the first place,  because some of the cases of addictions that I have seen,  they blame it on gambling mean while the root cause is greed,  so even if the gambler is battling to stop gambling because he feels his addictions is taking a better part of his resources,  and succeed in taking a break from gambling but still have the habit of being greedy and even if he left gambling,  he will still eventually end up spending his time sum on other things since his greed won't allow him to have clear understand of what his problem really is and how to tackled it at once.

It is always good to ask for professional help because you are clearly doing something that can do good for yourself, so that means you have every intention of getting out of the problem, which should be applauded, because many do not recognize that they have that problem and they do deny it. to collaborate with anything that has to do with it, then when there is something that can be done, that the person is clear about collaborating with themselves, because things are different, you can see very well that when there is a desire to go out of a rpoeblm because he must go to immediate help and it is the most intelligent thing that the person can do, with this it prevents 1000% from doing things that he should not and that later on he could hurt the people he loves the most, and above all that you can avoid harming yourself as well, because I have seen cases where many people have tried their own lives, things that I do not approve of, because life is only one and has very beautiful things to see, so in this order of ideas things can be seen Thus, if a person recognizes that he is adeita, and that he is fighting or wants to fight to get out of that rpobnelma, we must congratulate him and give him all the possible support, it is something that is brave and must be recognized for the better, I personally will say+ I knew that when things are like this, you should support them.

A person who refuses to accept that he is an addict can bring many problems to his life, among them I have seen how many have done things that cannot or should not be done, they make enemies of the family, they make enemies of their friends, they have debts that they cannot pay, then this type of things become debts to their own family or to their people who want to be responsible for that person, which should not be done, the best thing here is that when an addicted person receives their own professional treatment, it must be put As an example for others, this is something that must be recognized, otherwise it is not possible to do things to improve.

I agree with this, gambling is not the only way to pass the time, there are many other things out there, there are many things you can do, you just have to explore to find what you want to do besides gambling if gambling is becoming a bad influence on you .

Yes, it is not easy to stop gambling, especially if you have put effort and time into it. You don't need to hurry when you quit gambling, just take it slow and you'll get there.

If people will adapt to all these measures you bring up, then I definitely believe it will be very hard to get addicted to gambling, especially when you only do it once in a while or you gamble responsibly not to make money.

However, some people misunderstand this gambling, and that is why they easily get addicted. It always surprises me when someone decides to use gambling as a source of income. I wonder if such a person will not be gambling every day to meet up their financial needs, because this person has already put himself in a position where it will be hard for him to get out because gambling addiction is not easy to quit, especially when you are exposed to or leave in an environment where there are many gamblers.

The important thing is that a gambler must try to create or do other activities so that his mind is not only focused on gambling and can do other activities where when he starts to be busy with other activities, he will not gamble too often. This will make him slowly reduce his gambling activities because he already has other things he can do. If he does other things more regularly and adds to his busy schedule with other things, that means he is starting to be able to reduce his busyness and he can definitely stop his gambling activities at any time. A gambler must do this, but it is hard and not easy because the temptation to return to gambling is always there.
