Addiction is every where so I do not think that this mobile gambling is any difference with the existing addiction. Yes it may easily speed up a person's gambling addiction but as far as I believe, it isn't the mobile or the internet faults why people are getting addicted to gambling but it is the person's decision of letting himself got addicted to gambling. Same goes with internet addiction, gaming addiction and any form of addiction. It only needs personal discipline to beat all these kinds of addiction.

All people around the world has an addiction but the only way to fight our addiction then we need to control ourselves. About in Mobile gambling for sure there are some people got addicted because it will help them to became happy and When luck has come then they can make a profit also. But in reality all things has passed aways so we need to control our selves in order to prevent big losses .

I believe that if a person has a gambling addiction and for some reason does not want to go to a specialist, then he should completely abandon the devices that allow him to gamble, stop talking to people who play gambling and find a hobby that could cause interest and bring pleasure. Otherwise, the likelihood that he will gamble uncontrollably again is very high.

With the advance technology that we have right now, you can almost do everything with your phone, and if you are into gambling using only your phone that could be more easy for you to spend some time to gamble, addiction might only happen if you gamble carelessly without any discipline. If you thing you are already addict, seeking help are more effective because most probably dealing with that addiction alone, can't help you that much. Mobile gambling becomes more popular when the pandemic started especially in my country where you can see almost everyone having their own gambling site on their phone, it's spreading so fast.

That's easier said than done. How can someone who is addicted to gambling, and is in denial, possibly find pleasure or interest in anything else? Addiction affects the brain in very dramatic and extreme ways, and many people with an addiction need medical help and professional help to properly overcome it. In my experience, the simplest way to help an addict recover is by getting the person into the right setting that will give him the necessary help and education to overcome his compulsion. Without professional help, the odds of success are close to zero.

He cannot do that, it needs intervention if he tries to do it by himself he's going to fail, compulsive gamblers are always denying that they are gambling excessively, their mindset is as long as you enjoy what you are doing then you are fine and its better to gamble than do drugs or be an alcoholic, they always have alibis on what they do, the best way to cure addiction is to have the support of the family and intervention coming from professionals, addiction is caused by dopamine the feeling getting rewarded and winning something to get excited, it should be replaced by rewarding activities that satisfied the desire.

As explained on article, mobile phones accelerate the process of addiction in different forms. Gambling causes urge to deposit and it is easy for mobile users to click few times to refill his casino balance and keep repeating till it becomes zero, in worst case addiction leads to serious debt. Main reason is again access to faster internet, mobile banking, online casino combination, IMHO.

But most people enjoy it without negative consequences. They are just tools and some people know how to use them and some don't. What can we do to ensure that people do not use these tools for harm? In any case, do not ban mobile banking and the Internet. I think people who have problems with gambling should help themselves (or with the help of specialists) but not at the expense of restrictions and bans for other people.

People ruined, addicted and unable to quit because their own mistake. We cant blame others including the rise of mobile gambling. No matter how great the rise of technology in general, people wont be affected negatively if they can control themselves. What we need to do is to keep ourselves away from the possible negative effects. If we are worrying about our generation, we should start to educate our generation earlier about it so we can minimize the negative effects.

Of course. This happens because they do not pay attention to how far they have played gambling and do not stop as soon as they see a lot of losses in gambling. Self-control in playing gambling can soon be lost when they are carried away by the lust to get a win or want to recover from a loss. This is what is feared to happen to the younger generation and parents should be able to supervise their children more before it is too late to realize it.

That is true but what is also true is that having a mobile and being able to play your favorite slot game wherever you are or to place a couple of sport bets wherever you are to your favorite casino is a lot of temptation to fight with.I personally find that very hard to stay away.I have put a weekly bankroll and I play once or twice max per week which keeps me away from addiction but I was once addicted and only because of my will to stop addiction I have come at this level.I know that many people have not the same strong will as I have and this differs from person to person but most persons are weak when tempted by greediness.

There is a dilemma here. Children today learn with tablets, not with pen and paper, or pencils and crayons, as was the case not so long ago. It is one thing that certain irresponsible parents let their children be online without paying attention to them for many things from an early age, with the dangers that this entails, but education today has to make use of the modern tools that we have, which are neither bad nor good, it depends on how they are used.

we as parents has something to do each day , yeah we must look at our children but remember that this pandemic? children are literally has the power to their gadgets as they requires to use in their studies and with that research here and there happens so they can easily change course of the usage to something different.

Online gambling are truly liberating our child nowadays and it is a hard fight on our side , with those? it is really a problem for them to be prevented at all point.

Accessibility is too easy now that everything can be access anywhere. There are also ads where we can see games and people testifying how they are able to win and gain money. It’s easier now to cashin and cashout especially with crypto and there are also gambling games that can be search in app stores. It will be hard for parents to monitor their children especially if they can’t watch them 24/7. Also child needs now gadgets to do some homework for research. Parents can only do is by reminding their children and set sample to their children by not doing gambling as well limiting their screen time and have some family quality time. Monitoring also their finances and not giving too much money can be a key to not lead their children in gambling and debts.

Being addicted to gambling is simply not going away in this industry. Most of them when get addicted to gambling and become greedy for money, and the result is having an addiction where their body and mind will search for it.

That's why it's rare for a gambling addict to change and abandon this habit. It will be very difficult on the part of the gambling addict to let go.

Moreover, I noticed that online gambling spread especially when the whole world faced the pandemic. Although almost all of the land-based casinos have closed eventually the gambling owners found a way to conduct online gambling that can be downloaded using a mobile device so that even if they are at home and do not go out, gamblers can still gamble.

So the gambling addicts had the hope of being able to play in casino apps even if it was online and they were at home. This is also probably what you are saying that gambling addicts have become hybrids because gambling owners have used the technology we have in this day and age.

I've heard somewhere, recently, that the two fastest addictions in the US are online gambling and online porn addiction. Obviously, they have in common that they are online addictions that greatly enhance addictiveness and gambling. Both in porn and gambling, it is not the same to have to go to a physical place, move around, with the time it takes to get there, and be seen in order to gamble or rent a porn film, as it is to be able to do it anonymously 24/7 from your mobile phone.

Personally I think the problem is way larger than that, recently I took the time to watch a documentary about how early people are getting addicted to the use digital devices like smartphones and the reality is incredibly worrying.

There are kids of three or four years which are suffering from a severe hindrance in their ability to learn and to communicate with others because of the excessive use of smartphones, however I do not really think that we need to governments to create regulations, the parents must put their feet down and not allow kids or even underage people to use those devices, as they are unable to take informed decisions about their future and how to use them.

What can be done for these types of addicts? Even if they had no phones. There are still so many enablers around in the form of free WIFI and internet cafes.

Perhaps treatment centers would be located in remote areas with no internet access? That seems like it could represent a good first step. But of course the second they returned to modern society. There would always be the temptation to revert to former behavior. Which could be tough to resist.

That is why there is really no cure for me to people who are addicted into gambling. It will always depend on them if they want to escape from their addiction. Even if you remove the things that tempt them to access the gambling platforms, they will find a way to do their gambling habit. As long as they have the urge to gamble in their mind, they will still come back to it even if they are able to stop for some time.

Because of the pleasant sensation, they return to gambling and even play longer than usual if they have more money.
They will not be able to resist the sensation and continue to be tempted to play gambling until their money runs out and some of them borrow money to continue playing.
Only by having a strong desire to cure their gambling addiction can they help them get out of their gambling addiction.
If they can't, no one can help them and they will continue to sink into addiction.

You have to discipline yourself, this technology is here to stay and it's your decision on how you will live your life.

Self-discipline is everything. These people can leave modern society for a while to treat themselves remotely at proper centers on the countryside, but sooner or later they will have to come back to the real world and make use of technology to engage socially with other people and even to work. Otherwise it's not possible to live a healthy, confortable and normal life. Then there is nothing addicted people can do besides educating themselves and learning how to limit their emotions and impulses towards so much accessibility, informations, tools and pleasures digital devices proportionate us.

We're living in exciting and dangerous times where everything is presented to us on a silver platter, this technology has become a blessing and at the same time a curse for us, it makes things easy for us, in the old times we can hardly communicate with people in the other side of the world and information is very scarce, but now everything is so easy communication, information, almost everything the technology has manifest our desires and fears.
This is the time when we are either at our worse or at our best, we can use the phone to enjoy things at our convenience and at the same time to bring ourselves to our worse when we cannot discipline ourselves.
You have to discipline yourself, this technology is here to stay and it's your decision on how you will live your life.

now with the growth of financial technology, we can make loans or payments via online only and it really makes it easier for those who want to make gambling transactions on smartphones, but once again we can't blame it because it's a convenience that is available today, those who are addicted to online gambling are those who are unable to regulate their desires when gambling so they are trapped.

at the end of the day, the decision will be on the individual who is a gambler what he really wants in life. is he going to go deep in gambling by allowing himself to be a slave of his desires? or find alternative activities which can improve his life. this is self-assessment per se. because only you can change your path for the better or for worse.
