But smartphones are always with us. It definitely makes online gambling businesses far more profitable. Although gambling addiction can hit vulnerable people so hard. There must be "quit" mechanism.

Responsibilities will make you think twice and that's likely a quit mechanism to me if you really care for your family or even for yourself, addiction is far more dangerous than we can probably think of.

Unfortunately, many players come to the point that the most effective mechanism works - they run out of money.

For some it is, but to those who want to stay addicted will always find a way to do what they like to do unless those who around him/her starts to notice and put them on a rehab.

When I first experienced how addictive internet is, my mind was blown. Over time it became even far more addictive with many gaming options. I think smartphones enable this so hard. When you have computer you need to leave it to move. But smartphones are always with us. It definitely makes online gambling businesses far more profitable. Although gambling addiction can hit vulnerable people so hard. There must be "quit" mechanism.

I think it is felt by many people, especially those new to the internet. They can discover many things they do not know, increasing their knowledge. Especially now, having a smartphone has become a necessity for most people, especially those busy working outside the home without carrying a laptop. This is also experienced by gamers who use their smartphones to play games and make them addicted. I think this also happens in the gambling business, where some people play gambling using their smartphones and this allows them to play anywhere.

One good thing I try to do is no electronic devices in the bedroom. I try to avoid my phone and my laptop on bed. It helps me to fall asleep and is also good for the eyes.

Make sense, if you don't have any devices near you there's no disturbance that may take place while you are sleeping though for sure in most time, those addicted people not just to gambling but far more with internet access they can't resist not to use their mobile devices to access the internet and check latest news and updates.

Gambling business understand the growing technology, so adopting to these changes will bring a good edge to their business and look how
big this industry now.

It will all be depends now on how you conceptualize your limitations and how will you adjust to avoid being engaged that much
with any gambling related online.

I agree it's the Internet together with smartphones that offers so many opportunities which can lead to afflictions down the road. Our cell phone gives us the opportunity to be online wherever we are, there is no real escaping. In times of lockdowns the tablet and desktop where also very easy to access, but our phone we tend to move around with us anywhere. It's not only gambling which leads to addictions, but also mobile gaming or even social media. I noticed it with my cousin, she is constantly checking Facebook, Instagram and 2-3 more apps. There is no chance of having a conversation with her without she looking at her phone. I think the overall problem is the cell phone and not gambling itself. We need to have restrictions on ourselves to limit our use of Apps and the Internet. One good thing I try to do is no electronic devices in the bedroom. I try to avoid my phone and my laptop on bed. It helps me to fall asleep and is also good for the eyes.

Doesn't this mechanism exist now? Self control. We can blame progress for anything, but in the end, we make the decisions ourselves. We ourselves send money to the casino account and risk it ourselves (realizing that we can lose it). To stop doing it, you just need to stop doing it and not wait for some mechanism to be invented to stop doing it, hehe. Unfortunately, many players come to the point that the most effective mechanism works - they run out of money.

Just take for example on which my wife had recently able to deal with some gambling sites online due to her friend was introducing it to here and because of the easy access and ways on visiting the platform and find out that it was easy to make profits or money with those gambling games then she was almost getting addicted to it. First she was lucky on making profits or money on fastest way as possible and believing that she could do it all day and make herself huge chunks but it was really just a wrong belief on mind.Quitting is hard on the time that you are already getting used to it.Some might say that it was easy but it isnt actually be that way.

Having been able to experience earning from gambling once will sometimes cause oneself to hard to avoid gambling. I too had experience winning a lot on gambling and unfortunately I hit a lose streak. I kept on thinking that I'll be able to win again especially that I've experienced it before however lose streak keeps on coming back until I've lose most of my gambling activities.

We can never always win at gambling but often lose at gambling.
But that is gambling and only people who can use gambling wisely can enjoy it and will not lose more money because they know when to stop.
Once we can win a lot from gambling, we should think about stopping and not continuing to play gambling because the results will not always give us a win.
I think we've all made big profits once or twice and only a few can stop in time while others lose their profits by continuing to play.

Gambling do always mean about losing in the end of the day.The ones who doesnt lose are the ones who do accept that they do lost all of their money once they do engage with gamblingwhich is in fact the reality.If you do really make yourself that believe that you could beat out the house or casino then its a wrong mindset to believe on which would really cause up that addiction within you.With having the easy access on todays technology then it do really contributes into people to be addicted on something even not just talking about gambling but also with social media which is also a form of addiction for some people too.

That's why in playing gambling, they shouldn't think about all kinds of things, let alone think about how they can win at gambling.
With the defeat that can befall us at the end of the day, we must be aware that in gambling, we must be careful with using the money.
We don't want to see the money we deposit run out in a short time and, therefore, limit the amount of money to bet to reduce the number of losses.
And we are also responsible for using mobile phones and not using them for unnecessary purposes so that we will not be trapped in an addiction that is difficult to cure.

Regardless of where you prefer to play (either in physical casino or online) if you have discipline then you're not one of those gamblers who will experience a gambling problem because of their way on how they deal with it.

Well, sometimes people who really are experiencing a gambling problem, they don't want others to notice it but only them.

And as they notice it and admits that they're experiencing one, they are also highly declining that they're at a worse situation while dealing that problem.

They think that they're still at moderation but they can notice their habits are changing.

It is possible that the form of addiction described here is a hybrid addiction. Its a cross between gambling addiction and internet addiction. With mobile phones being an enabler.

There's no other way to say it, but yeah that's actually a hybrid addiction. I guess majority of all the people around the world is now addicted to internet. Every step we make nowadays might usually needs internet. But being addicted with gambling in the internet is some kind of a leveled up kind of addiction. A hybrid one. Which is a serious case like how people are addicted with drugs and alcohol. However, even with series of rehabilitations and treatment, these addictive things are still available and can be accessible anytime anywhere.
So, there's no rehabilitations and treatments that would really work for some individual if they don't want to change themselves.
I should never let my family member or a friend rehabilitate forcefully. I should talk to him first and convince what kind of monster he'd become being addicted with gambling. He should be willingly surrender himself for rehabilitation. That way it could be more effective.

I really don't get why mobile games are the demon here. Everything has bad apples. Personally, also hate most mobile games that have a paying option, I know even small kids who pay their lunch money just to buy a few crystals or extra lives to play something dumb like Candy Crush clones. But that's the fault of the devs, and they are the ones who need to be punished.

The worst now is crypto is being blamed for P2E nonsense, people buying up loads of NFTs with hard earned savings and then realizing they aren't earning anything back but wasting all their hours breeding.

Phones seem addictive, games seem addictive, crypto seem evil but the real problem is and has always been greedy and unethical devs.

Let me be the "Devil's advocate" here....

Why are the developers evil and greedy, if they are coding things that people are asking for? You will always find that there are one breakthrough concept being released and then a trend forms around that concept, because the users shown interest in it.

The developers are simply giving the users more of the things they like. We always say.... look what people want.. and give that to them..and you will be successful.

I hate it when developers create something that they like .... and they do not do some market research to see what their target market wants. Roll Eyes

Mobile gaming has become a trend..... and developers has noticed that, so they are coding what people are asking for.

Too much of everything is always bad, and the gambling industry is no exception to that very fact, because mobile gambling was invented to ease the stress of traveling long distances just before you could place a bet or gamble right from the comfort of your home. But it is evident enough that for every advantage then there is a corresponding disadvantage, so in regards to this very scenario, the best remedy for mobile gamblers will be a total internet disconnection, because, in a situation whereby they can't access the Internet, the rate of mobile gambling will surely reduce

There are always positive and negative effects on everything even if that something is intended for good purposes. Mobile gambling is supposed to make it easier and more convenient for people to gamble instead of needing to come into a land-based casino or the need to operate a computer.

That is why we also have governments to manage and decide based on research. So I cannot blame the Chinese government for taking a ban on casinos and gambling. It protects its people from possible addiction and loss of huge assets but at the same time, it deprived the people to gamble. The rich Chinese though can travel to nearby Macau and other countries if they want to gamble.

It is obvious that with these technological advancements also come some negativities for a lot of people, great example outlined here are gamblers who cannot control their gambling urges. Usually self-exclusion solves this problem. But there are still cases wherein people can access other gambling platforms due to a weak self-exclusion system. By this time, it would be best if the gambler would seek advice from a psychologist regarding their condition. Intervention really is the key and perhaps the last resort for addicted gamblers if they keep on finding ways to gamble even though they want to stop.

These kinds of advancements have not been experienced in the past by most people and that's why when they get addicted, they most likely don't know what to do until it's too late for most of them. That's why with this ongoing trend, concerned people also need to warn those others who are about going to get themselves into trouble in the future by just merely trying these new things. Always take care of yourself before trying anything new because, at the end of the day, you are the one who will suffer, and sometimes you also get your family in trouble by diving too much into addictions.

But people who are addicted may not tell others because they may not know that they are addicted to gambling.
This is a serious problem for those addicted to gambling and maybe those around them need to pay more attention to people who are always alone and busy with their cellphones or computers.
Knowing early about the existence of a gambling addiction that afflicts someone in their family, it will help people who are addicted to gambling to be able to get first aid that can help them to start staying away from gambling.
Maybe inviting people who are addicted to using their cellphones to do other activities can give them the opportunity to open up and tell if something is wrong with them.

I am very thankful of the arriving of Mobile gambling in this time now , because in the past I had to spend time and also playing Lonely without a friend and makes me feel uncomfortable in each time.
Now that I can access site using my Mobile? so me and my wife can play together and enjoy our precious time to gamble(but of course limited time and money lol).

That's one of the pros of online gambling, you can gamble with your loved ones. We dont need to go to any physical casinos to play because gambling through our mobile phone made it possible to play while at home. However if there's a good side, it has a bad side too and probably we're all aware of it. So gamble in moderation.

Anyway it depends for every gamblers on how they will limit themselves to play. It might hard to refrain ourselves from playing but remember that not everyone who gamble online using their phone are ending up as addicted. So it's not an excuse and a reason for gamblers to find it hard to quit because it depends on what kind of gambler you are.

even in Real life gambling or online? it is always depend on us to how we will deal in gambling and how much we will spend each time to play and lose.

Regardless of where you prefer to play (either in physical casino or online) if you have discipline then you're not one of those gamblers who will experience a gambling problem because of their way on how they deal with it.

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.

Nope even how disciplined people are? yet in our time now? we cannot live without gadgets and internet as the world now lives with those technology so this means one thing that the discipline they needed is to control themselves from gambling and nothing more we can do about it.

Quote

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.

actually it is the experience that will let them learn mate , because gambling addiction is indeed for the people that has no self control or those people that has eager for everything they desire.

This is where the government will come useful and will take action to block casino websites that even the use of proxies will not work. And then regulations for casinos also will be tighter and penalties for gamblers caught will also be scarier. They'd find it necessary to do this because it can affect the lives of families. While it may be effective, the tech-savvy gamblers will still be playing.

There are many things that attract gamblers and make them stay in casino sites nowadays. First are the promotions and bonuses as well as huge jackpot prizes that they want to win. We're now in the midst of the inflation crisis and the urge of some gamblers to win big amounts is higher than usual. The convenience that online gambling could provide also has a huge effect on gamblers' addiction. It will be hard for them to control their urge to gamble because temptations could only be found in their gadgets.

With the existence of online gambling sites there are positive as well as negative part. According to me the usage of mobile phones have increased drastically and the gambling market doesn't want to lag behind. For this reason Gambling access through Mobile have made been made easier. Control is with the user, because without the person's support one can't get him out of addiction.

way back when we need to gamble? it took time and effort to go in casinos or in gambling places locally that we can do our betting , but nowadays? it become easier from laptop and Desktop ? now we are accessible in using our tablets and mobile in which made us become easier to access and easier to Loss as we can win lower chances.
but the main issue here is that Even the youngsters , I mean those teens that can access those site and gamble using online funds , even those young that had learn crypto , they are the ones who are prone from addiction.
