Many casinos are temporarily closed right now because of what is happening right now. The only way gamblers can gamble is thru online but I afraid that some of the gamblers doesn't know how to deposit funds in the site and they might question if the site where they can gamble is legit or not.
Many things will come up into the mind of a gambler who doesn't have any experience in online gambling so maybe they will be forced to stop gambling and that can lead to recovery of gambling addiction. Still there are some gamblers who are gambling online and we can't blame them as long as they have limits on it.
Maybe this time is the right time for the addicted gamblers to come out of addiction but it is a hard and difficult process.

Actually the gamblers have the initiative or the common sense on where they should bet or gamble so they will always find way on how they will be able to play aside from going to the casinos in which it is prohibited by the government because of the sign of the coronavirus there are still some online casino in which they can play their just for fun so that they don't need to go outside or go to the casino in order to play.
You can try to play dice games or roulette if you want. But I don't think that if someone plays on sports and gets excited with the games will get the same experience if he tries the other gambling games because the feeling will be different. They will try many gambling games until they can found one or two gambling games that can give them an exciting feeling. Once they find that games, they will stay to play the game, and maybe they will play for a long time.
yeah this is different thing and enjoyment maybe not the same but at least i will try to find something that can give me happiness because i wanted to have boredom killer and Gambling gives me this.also Online games that i can Bet with friends ,like Mobile Legends or other games that attracts me.
Playing mobile legends with our friends, of course, will bring happiness and we can make boredom killer, and that is better than playing gambling. At this moment, I stop playing gambling and try to focus on health because I don't want to get sick or anything terrible that can comes. But I guess we can stop gambling at any time and don't depend on anything to stop because we can decide what we want without waiting for something.
actually this is the trending game now p2p Mobile legends betting,some of my officemates are doing the same specially in Break time.
From yesterday all casinos in my country are closed because of corona virus. In same time I read how online gambling is rising
in other countries.
There's no good addiction! People should be careful with gambling, I know I am. I like sports betting and for the last year I
bet in crypto-currencies, so this closing doesn't bother me much. I don't think I am an addict, I bet few times per week but
with couple dollars per bet. I don't risk much, I don't win or lose a lot, I enjoy doing that and I will not stop because of some
virus.

Honestly, it is right time to drop all addictions. Even drug users who will have harder time finding drugs because everyone is paranoid right now and in some nations there is bans so you may not even go outside to pick up your weed or cocaine or whatever drug you were using, so all in all you will be basically forced to quit.
Gambling addicts have harder time actually, we are all stuck at home and have nothing to do, we can't really rely on netflix for way too long, eventually we will be bored and that's when we will start to gamble. This staying at home thing will cause many casinos to make a lot more profits as well, since we are all at home and have nothing to use our money on, why not gamble with it? That could legit be a reason to even start gambling let alone stop it.

not really get out because the virus isnt forever i guess but you can say its the right time to unwind to other stuffs like practicing strict security measure to avoid the hazard of virus and to spend more quality time with your family or do your previous hobby that you also love before you engage on sport betting . while regular gamblers ( not sport bettors ) are also afected but they can still bet normally tho since the games that they play are non infectious than on sports
Time to relax to minimize on their loses in gambling, that's the right thing to say as when we say "gambling addicts", they usually loss their money in gambling. Hopefully they'll realize at this situation that they are just fooling themselves that they have the skills to win, they don't that's why they get addicted.

I don't think that gambling addicts will come out of being addict on it just because of COVID-19, but the good thing is there are a lot of closed casinos as of this moment to avoid the virus, if there are still some open casinos and if the gamblers knew about it, then for sure he or she will go on that open casino just to play, that is how they are really addicted on gambling.
I recommend that they should play on online gambling if they really want to play, online gambling and real life casino is somehow related, you may still play the game you want to play in real life casino with money involves.
But the thing about the online gambling and real life casino is they are really different with the feeling when you are playing because in real life casino, as of my experienced, I am more happy when playing real life casino because of the ambiance and interacting with other people, but as of now it is very advisable to play online gambling instead of real life gambling to avoid contact from other people.

You see, the gambling addicts aren't actually addicted to sports betting per se that if the tournaments are postponed or halted, they might not be able to bet at that moment but would soon when it restarts. They might try to find alternative betting sites as well. However, any start is better and if this temporary halt really helps anyone to quit, then they should.
I don't actually agree with that because I am talking specifically about sports gambling addicts . I like to bet on sports but I don't like to bet on dice or similar games so there are people who are sports gambling addicts and not other types . for an addict who couldn't really stop, he will still go out if there is a casino that is open. its risky but they won't resist it. they will just make excuses that they are going to be wearing mask and all but this is for the really risk taker gamblers. for those who still are health conscious, they might just find the entertainment on bitcoin casinos to feed their addiction. either this or they could invite their casino buddies to play Chinese Mahjong.

If you can really quit cold turkey and never look back, you can do that at any given time. However since there will be both more stress and less stress at the same time it all depends which you focus on. I have seen many people who gamble because they are stressed at work so they come home and gamble and just take their fun out of that, now many people will not go to work so they won't be stressed, sure we are still stressed about corona but doubt it would be for same thing.
Plus while at home you will have plenty of time to actually focus on what you can do with all that many hours, more time to try to start something new or something, that way you can focus on that new thing, get a hobby for example, try to learn to paint, try to learn to code or whatever basically try to improve yourself, that way you can spend some weeks a lot bettering yourself instead of gambling.
Many types of gambling, if gambling can no longer be in sports. So people can still gamble in games that are online gambling. So gambling addiction can not just stop because this virus is being talked about.
Gambling addiction will always find a way to still be able to play and play gambling, even the deadly virus as it is today.

As long as we have internet connection we can still gamble. Although yeah, many sports were cancelled there is still other games online aside from sports betting that a player can choose from. Time to exit from addiction? It isn't easy. It's all in self control. Some sports were stopped because of this corona virus and they may just lessen the betting but that doesn't mean they may come out of addiction.

As we all know , Coronavirus has impacted each and every industry in the whole world and sports isn't an exception .
But the question is , is this the right time for gambling addicts to come out of addiction? The assumption I am making here is that the gambling addicts are addicts on sports betting and not casino game addiction or poker .

I won't say this is the best time but it can serve as a building ground for your rehabilitation. You wanting to stop gambling now who be easier since the sport you gambled on aren't available so in most cases you have not be cured frwom the addition but just haven't been given an opportunity to gamble that's you're been restricted from gambling. In cases like this, thew individuals return back to gambling the moment their favorite sport games are back.
Addiction aren't like other disease that can be cured easily, especially when the substance or activity you're addicted to isn't easily available at the moment. To be assured of 100% rehabilitation, the substance should be present and your ability to resist the temptation of getting involved shows on effective your rehabilitation has been.
We can Bet against friends or neighbor using Play Station right?this is enough to sustain our gambling needs to bet and win or lose.
actually this weekends we will be going against each other me and my Bestfriend for NBA game because we have opposite team of favorite so since we cannot bet in sportsbetting then we will satisfy ourselves playing .

I believe that all sports are being cancelled now!so there is no way we can find another sports to bet in?
Maybe lets go Dice?or roulette ?
I will now use my time looking for online games that will make my boredom’s reliefs and for sure this is a good use of time.

As a former addicted gambler I can speculate that with people hunkering down due to the fear mongering associated with COVID-19 we may see an uptick in online gambling and whatnot.
I was hoping for the exact opposite . People tend to gamble when they are bored, have financial stress or to scratch social itches.. So it is likely we will see an uptick of gambling.
I have all 3 of those. I am bored most of the time , financial stress? Big tick and don't even ask about the last one.While an alright form of entertainment (albeit a potentially expensive one) it shouldn't be viewed as anything more than that.
Agreed that is why I have shifted from wagering to investing.It is not recommended to use the money for food to playing gambling because you cannot buy the food for yourself and your family if you don't have money or you lose that money for playing gambling. We need to prioritize our lives and family first than to use the money to gamble, so we need to make sure they can get enough food for their lives. Although it is hard to stop an addiction, they really need to try in these situations because they need to survive and save their lives first.
You missed the whole point of this thread but I value your opinion ( maybe ) 
Maybe these talks about gambling addicts should be in a entirely different thread. To gambling addicts, If you are really an addict even using the fund for food on gambling you should not wait for Covid19 you should have stop before this virus came, But in this situation, I think it made you realized which is more important I hope you have priorities already.
It is hard to stop an addiction if you are alone so trying to communicate with other people and your family will really help.
