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.

Maybe what they are playing is the free/demo version of the game but if play the normal way then there will be negative consequences if you lose because you will also lose your hard earned money. Gambling is too big to become a tool but when you say tool, they are small things which can be use to fix the main thing. Gambling is not hard to understand but it all boils down if how one will accept its outcome.

If you will think deeply about every losses you make even if it's only small then you aren't gambling the right way. Better if you will not continue but you can only find an alternative to make you money or to make you entertained.

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.

Yeah some will remain to be an addicted gambler because they choose this path and they are willing to face any consequences. In today's era, the rate of gambling addictions has increased dramatically and this of course by the help of portability or the smartphones where people can play almost anywhere. I think not all who are greedy in gambling is due to the want of too much money but there might be some who got addicted because of its ambiance and fun factor. Same to those who got addicted in video games.

The pandemic did also contribute because people got removed from their jobs and others were only forced to stay at home. This is why they look for a way to earn or way to have fun so they discovered online gambling.

Getting access to the internet is as easily and we could never think and both children and adolescents are always eager to search for whatsoever they like on the net without anyone knowledge or control. Mobile games are becoming more popular and we the current trend that we are, since we don't need to send fiat again to casinos in order to make bets but using crypto looks somehow easy without any traces.

Children will have to go to bet and play any mobile games they like and with this, addiction is becoming likely faster than what we think which can eat up our time and ways we respond to things.

Those underage still have no capability to control their emotion, that's why they easily get addict in something they usually do, if they are already exposed in gambling then that is something that their parents needs to address or else, their whole life will become more miserable. Mobile gambling is very comfortable and very accessible, I see this as a good advantage if you can't go outside and play in casinos, but again if you are playing too much and spending too much time on the screen, you might also ended up addicted. Control yourself as early as possible, don't let those addiction takes you from real world, be responsible on your gambling activities.

This is true. I have a niece that use his parent credit card to purchase in game items on the game he was addicted. His parents didn’t notice it until the credit card bill arrive with 1000$ on it. Luckily they manage to refund the credit money and just ban my niece account. I believe there are worst scenario like this that involves mobile gaming addiction especially on minors. It’s very hard to moderate there mobile phone activity because it’s very handy.

I think setting a parent control on the underage person is the best way to moderate them without attacking too much there privacy.

To prevent this from happening parents need to control the entertainment of their child and limit children from this kind of games. If a child is already involved in gambling, educate him or her about the principles of casinos and the likelihood of winning at a particular game of chance. Children's future depends on parents' willingness to help them make the right choice when they themselves are not experienced enough.

Preventing the minors to the extent that parents will show a strict might not be effective. It mostly leads for these minor to become more curious about what gambling is all about. There's no 100% way to prevent them encountering gambling while they are growing up. With just a simple walk in park, they might encounter gambling-related stuff. Or while at their school, one of their classmate is already doing some small gambling etc.

The best way is to continue educating them, as you mentioned, all the risks associated in doing gambling. Believe me, it's not that a minor will just have an interest in gambling that easily even nowadays we are in the generation where most minors are exposed in gadgets playing games freely. It's still depend on their preference. Just because they are minors, they are not capable of thinking what's right or wrong.

I did not say that we should be strict with our children because they need a completely different approach. First and foremost, a parent should be a friend to his or her child, not a forbidding boss.
My main idea is to explain to the child that he can either spend his money on something material here and now and enjoy it, or he can spend it on a chance that will probably increase his money, but with a very small chance.

As much as possible parent should keep their children busy, maybe providing schedule for them to follow can help them avoid getting into gambling. Parents can still do something as their child character will depend on how they allow them to grow. Though it can only be possible to children who are still relying in their parents but those who already into gambling ,maybe giving samples on how it can ruin their lives once they don’t do anything to control their habits. It’s still a matter of self discipline and how one wanted to enjoy or run their lives.

Its very tiring and might your child will be rebellious to you if you dictate what things they need to do and you push them to do it even if they dislike what activity feed to them. Maybe much better if you educate them about this since learning it on early stage will make them realize more earlier than engaging to much on this is so risky for them and most provably they avoid this especially if they didn't start to go with this activities.

In my country, online gambling began to spread to a wider user because of the games that were originally developed not for gambling, but user used this app as places to gamble. From here, then many people are looking for online gambling, until finally getting used to it. This means, games (non-gambling) with a gambling-like interface also have an influence on the desire to start gambling. The terrible thing is, many 10+ yo children also play games with this gambling interface. This is considered normal by their parents because they are thinking its not a gambling, but mostly from this app have a high possibility of the child being addicted to gambling.

I have witnessed such a situation. Some young kids in my area get addicted to these types of games and then they are able to get all the gambling activities. The worst part is that on of them learned to steal money from his family. He used to spend money and gamble constantly. At one point he started getting separated from his family. If a minor gets involved in gambling it is difficult to bring him back.

To prevent this from happening parents need to control the entertainment of their child and limit children from this kind of games.

“I could do everything you could do at a casino on my phone.”

Since he stopped gambling in May, Jason has noticed with fresh eyes just how prevalent the gambling industry has become. Nationally, entire sports shows are now dedicated to gambling, and others don’t go long without mentioning an exciting potential parlay bet. Gambling commercials play all the time on the radio and when he watches sports, and the leagues themselves have signed official partnerships with companies like FanDuel and DraftKings.

“It is everywhere now,” Jason said. “It's kind of disgusting when you start to look at it from the outside in.”

Yes, indeed, the popularity of gambling advertising and online casinos and bookmakers in mobile games sometimes simply discourage the desire to play a particular game on a mobile phone, but this is more likely to show the desire of developers to make money on advertising. And yes, this additionally pushes addicted people to relapse, it has become so sophisticated (not news) that, for example, if you try to turn on a VPN and run some game on your mobile, you can see that the advertising offered to you will also be in the language of the region installed in the VPN.

Nowadays, we can say that gambling is really widespread in different parts of the world and I think it will not stop or disappear in every country even if it is still prohibited. Because the number of gamblers has spread, others have developed an addiction and it has become a vice because of greed and savagery for money thinking that they will suddenly get rich here without any difficulty because most of them rely on luck here in gambling. Gambling is now too high-tech in the current generation, so I can also say that gambling is at a hybrid stage level.

They can get rich from gambling but not everyone can because in gambling, there is always luck that will help people to win. This factor is what people are less aware of because they only see that other people can get a lot of wins from gambling. And this is what triggers them to keep coming back to gambling and keep trying to play even though they already know what the outcome will be within a certain time. And nowadays, many people are using their cell phones to gamble and can make playing clandestinely without anyone else knowing. This can also trigger their addiction because they can access gambling sites easily.

I think it's safe to say that as technology advances and becomes more prevalent, we have seen both positive and negative effects; as with anything.

Indeed. We can now gamble online in the comfort of our home and that's very convenient. However it should not be a reason for a gambler to become addicted because even before, addiction already exist for gamblers who cant control themselves. It's just that, now, it's tempting to play because it's accessible anytime and anywhere. Thus if you cant control yourself you can really end up becoming addicted.

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.

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.

But it is not only fault of person who fall in trap, I guess current direction of general gambling promotions aims to get more users as much as possible. Some of gamblers have weak psychology that convinces them it is easy to win money on online gambling platforms while strong minds can make math to find odds of winning. Regulation should be mandatory for online casinos especially local platforms have to be checked due to the increasing traffic, IMO.

Most of the crypto casinos are not regulated yet and as a gambler we should be more careful on dealing with them because as we can see, those casinos are not compatible using only your phones which makes it more accessible to the gamblers. I agree that having a weak emotion can put you on a more risky place and you might get addict easily because of this. No matter where you play, you should still need to control yourself because too much is not good at all, just gamble what you can afford to lose and stay discipline.

unfortunately, it is easy to say such, but if you happen to be attracted by these games, you won't stop as you will find enjoyment and maybe possible way of getting money. as it is easy to access now those gaming sites because of the technology we have today, everyone is indeed prone to game addiction, if they don't control their desires.
