Topic: The Rise of Mobile Gambling Is Leaving People Ruined and Unable to Quit - page 2. (Read 5748 times)

That is why you should not exceed what you budgeted beforehand to avoid losing and eventually getting addicted to gambling in the future.
We want to avoid it but the temptation from the casinos is stronger than we think because they always offer attractive offers and even send links to mobile phones.
Only strong self-control can help us prevent gambling for too long and although not many people can do that, we should still try not to become addicted to it like everyone else.
It's just time for us to control ourselves properly and requires daily training.

That is what makes online gambling the main topic that each country must pay attention to. There are fewer gamblers in offline gambling and switching to online will make access easier. When the government is negligent, then I believe that underage youth will be trapped in gambling from an early age. It doesn't matter if we are adults and we take responsibility for the risks we make. but for children who are stuck in games that resemble gambling, it will make them curious about gambling moments, and their parents need to take responsibility from what they are doing.

at first it's just fun, but when the entertainment becomes a game that you can't let go of then you will continue to do it. Even some gambling applications do not directly use money, but use a coin which can then be purchased on their website or several marketplaces that already provide it. Slot gambling games are becoming very popular games for online gambling, because you only use your smartphone to easily play them.
Many think it will be a game that can provide additional income, but in reality the risk of losing everything will continue as long as you can't control it.

It has something to do with the secretion of Dopamine.  Since having fun means a person is in a state of happiness or pleasure Dopamine is responsible for that.  Though addiction as stated isn't caused by Dopamine you can refer to this process why dopamine plays a certain part.


Often time this kind of ad is a trap.  Indeed they can give you earnings but how long do you need to play to actually earn on that gambling game?  People are impatient so to fast tract their earnings, they will then start to deposit until they are trapped in the scheme of that game.

This is spot on. Gambling addiction is a very real and serious issue, and it can be very difficult to overcome. Smartphones and easy access to sites is a very huge enabler.

One way to fix this problem would be to make it more difficult to access these gambling sites on smartphones. For example, there could be a limit on how many times someone can open the app or website in a day, or there could be a pop-up that comes up every time someone tries to access a gambling site that says something like "Are you sure you want to do this? gambling can be addictive and lead to financial problems." This would at least make people think twice before accessing these sites, and it might make some people decide not to gamble at all.

Another way to fix this problem would be to provide more education on the risks of gambling addiction. This could be done in schools, or even on the gambling websites themselves. If people are more aware of the dangers of gambling addiction, then they might be less likely to get hooked in the first place.

The bottom line is that the easy access to online gambling sites via smartphones is a problem that needs to be fixed. There are a few ways to do this, but it will ultimately come down to people making better choices about whether or not to gamble.

Everything would really be depending on someones will and control because if your mind is really been aware on what are the things that you should gonna do then for sure you will really be doing it.
If ever you do encounter some distractions then its up to someones discipline whether they would really be going back on track or would simply avoid it.It all matters with the mindset and each
person does have different levels when it comes to this.

With having the easy access on almost everything that we do have today then its really hard to quit up something specially when you do know that you could simply
just pull off your mobile phone on you own pocket then you are ready to go once again.

I don't think it will labeled at that, you can set boundaries on gadgets if you have proper management and value your health. This can be achieved personally and there are several ways to do it, the only thing that hard is the commitment and to start.

I thought they are only used to have fun so why will they get addicted? I think the obsession for money are the ones who are truly addicting because when you have money you can do almost anything and this can make a person more happier but a continuously playing for fun will get you being bored later on and you will quit on it for a while in order to do something else.

There are ads that we see online. They are like a gambling game but totally free to play but the best part of them is that you can earn some money by playing. I think that is because these games have ads inside them. Many people are hook on them right now to earn additional income without taking a risk.

The problem with online gambling is that you can cloak it and integrate it into different platforms. For example, a well-known game may implement crate boxes that are in a form of gambling where young people get exposed too quickly from it. From this alone, this creates an impression where the younger generation will participate in an online gambling within their game.

I just hope that the government may somehow intervene and find the boundary between earning profits and preserving the integrity and character of the younger generation. Let's face it- gambling is highly addictive where it can attract all users of any age.

It does makes sense because all of us were locked up in our homes for the first few months when the outbreak has happened.

Because of everyone being at home and has nothing to do, that's the best thing that everyone can and that's to find something to do while at home.

And many have found it through gambling.

If one can control himself then he is perfect everywhere. I believe self control is not an easy task. Today most of those who have lost a lot of money in gambling could not control themselves. With the advancement of mobile devices, people can now gamble anywhere, whether at home or at work. It can be said that mobile is giving you the opportunity but the main fact is to have responsible gambling which is rely on own self.

You made a good emphasis, but what i you to know is that stopping gambling is a personal decision, it's not what you will do to please others, it's your way of understanding the basic things concerning gambling, with the way of things am sure that gambling is something that you will determine to do at your own detriment, and that is why people who is addicted to it doesn't take advice from someone who is condemning gambling.

In our place, old retired people are getting addicted to online gambling and just a few days ago my friend told me that she is once again asked by his boss to cash in for his wallet for online gambling and the poor old man is making himself comfortable playing while in his bed all day. Because nowadays, the way people get money from youtube is to advertise these online gambling just before they show their content. at least this is the case in our country, and I think this is the same reason why they spread so fast.

Most people just aim to have fun by doing online gambling and some online games. Online gambling such as slot games and several other gambling games. and some of them also use online gambling games to get profits through online gambling games. Online gambling that is getting easier to be accessed by anyone certainly has negative effects that are not good, they will be addicted and continue to play. which at first was just for entertainment, but after getting addicted they spent some of their money on gambling. this will make them crushed and unable to stop.

It's true when the Pandemic takes place and people are forced to isolate themselves in their respective homes. it makes people play more on their phones. so that while the pandemic is taking place, online game industry enthusiasts are increasing rapidly. and it turns out that online gambling users are also increasing rapidly. the reason may be the factor of losing a job and trying to get money from profits through online gambling. or indeed because they are bored at home all the time so that people have fun in online gambling and online games. so it's only natural that after the pandemic many people are addicted to the internet. whether it's because of online games or online gambling.

This is true. This pandemic lasted for almost two years strict to moderate lockdown here in our country and I can attest that it is so boresome to the point  that I also wanted to find way to entertain myself and to make some income as well. During the pandemic, people decided to find something they can be busy with that can make money at the same time. In the middle of the crisis, NFTs were popular and people were enticed by the things it offer.

I myself, decided to invest in NFT during its peak. It is one of my most impulsive decisions in my life that is why a part of me regrets that I risked a huge amount of money without doing a background check and only to be driven by emotional aspect, not weighing the consequences. Although I've learned so much from that experience which I surely will look back when making decisions in the future. It taught me that money is earned with proper ways. There's no shortcut in generating a huge amount of money and therefore, do not be blinded by too good to be true offers and promises, most especially if you know little or nothing about the particular method they are referring. Because it will be addicting and the repercussions will cost you so much without you noticing.

There's this report that I've read during the first heavy blow of months of the pandemic.

That, this pandemic too many people have been hooked with their phones and made a lot of addiction, including gambling. It's because many are looking for ways to make money and they've thought of gambling is one of the easiest and quickest way.

In result, it made some money but many made it addicted.

Well, good training should always starts at home and that parents are obliged in providing it. However, with the high technology we have at the present and that smartphones have become very affordable and accessible these days, we cannot blame for the rise of mobile gambling as this is one of negative effects brought by new technologies. I guess self discipline is the only way not to fall deeply in mobile gambling addiction.

Playing with a mobile phone will not give you the same level of experience like you get in a real casino and if anyone thinks that mobile casinos are fascinating to spend a lot of money then you need to seek help from a doctor  .

As long as you have savings in your account you will gamble, after that what happens, he has to start from scratch to build those savings and no one in the right sense will gamble with everything you have thinking you will recover the lost money. In a physical casino yes you get the rush and the comradery that comes with it but not in online ones  .

I agree, with mobile phone it is like we have a portable casino that can be accessed anytime and anywhere.  Mobile phone can strengthen the urge to gamble because the temptation is just around our palm.  With an internet, gambling apps can be access almost in an instant with just a press of the gambling application shortcut. 

It can also increase the risk of gambling addiction because of how easy we can access gambling do experience all sort of things that make a person addicted to gambling.
