Video game addiction might differ from the gambling addcition because from video games we are not going to make any money but from gambling we need to risk money to make more so in my view it completely different because I had experience on both.

But when someone is addicted to video games, he can spend most of his time just to play it, which isn't good at all, especially for those who are still in school degree. Btw yes, gambling addiction is different from video game addiction. The effect of video game addiction isn't so great if we compared it with gambling addiction.

I disagree with this kind of view on talking gambling addiction is way more better than video game.Ok lets try to compare

the money spend on game addiction to gambling ones?Who do have the high tendency on wrecking up your entire life when it comes to
financial?

today the gaming industry already has a very large capitalization. More and more people invest in their hobby. In addition, there is already a certain competition, such as the game Stalker, for which certain bookmakers do not even collect bets on the result.

Gambling in video games is just the same as gambling in any sports game but I don't think if there are gamers who do actually get addicted to betting in any video games. Well, if someone is making money out of it then it is probably gonna get them addicted real soon.

Only people who do play those games will understand how the concept of it and how to win a bet with those games.

Indeed, some gambling players do start with video games, but not all gamers will switch from video game to gambling, and not all gamers who play video games doing gambling. because in essence most gamers prefer to playing game than gamble, unless there are some games in video games that are loaded of gambling such as soccer (PES) my friends and I, often gamble because of that game, but then it doesn't make me more addict and switch to casino

I had a heavy gambling addiction at one point in my life because of video games. I was able to bet real money in the video game and it slowly spread to other aspects of my life. Started to gamble on sports and didn't even enjoy watching like how I used to.

I heard that is happening to the other people even my friends sometimes did that with the others. They already make bets in the video games and they using money as the bets. The winners will take all of the money, and the loser cannot do anything. But we need to prevent ourselves from using money in every game because that will make us become addicted to gambling. We don't know and will not realize that, and we only want to play as often as we can.

Video games are loaded with aspects of gambling and people of all groups and ages play these games in modern times. Many games have things like loot boxes that you pay for to random prizes, Runescape has the duel arena where you can gamble gold against one another, and there are many more examples.

People may start off with video games and then eventually move on to higher sums gambling in real casinos. What are your thoughts on this matter and should anything be done?

People will get addicted if they do not have control, and parents should watch out for this kind of features, your children will become addicted and will lead them to a more higher rewards if you cannot control what they are into when they are playing these kinds of games, I think this kind of features should be monitored by the government agancies also.

Basically we are humans so we can definitely addicted to something very easily after getting addicted to this will not make any solution for that so in the beginning stage we can be very careful to handle everything otherwise the games will easily get attracted you to do it again and again this is the beginning stage of addiction

Not unless if we know what is right and what is wrong. If are in good mind will certainly defined that we are already in the wrong path and we need to correct it immediately. I don't think that gambling addiction has no solution, we can change the course if we want to but if not, we just simply put our self into the dungeon.

Everything has its own solution it may not be fast or it may not be as effective as the other but at least it has a solution. The answer to the addiction is moderation and self-control if you haven't one of it then you can just simply put yourself in the dungeon until you never see your worth.

But of course, there are people out there that is ready to help us, so don't just abuse it just because you know there are people who will help you. People will know who is the worthy one that they want to help and those abusive people.

Experiencing the game are more fun than to watch the sports, video games are great and until now I make money on that. This is how gambling works, it will make you fun and video games is the cheapest way of gambling just like Dota2, and of course the Mobile Legends and the legel of counter strike. You can also become addict on video games, always have enough control with yourself.

Should be labelled dependency more then addiction which I associate with a chemical addiction which is far harder to break then a bad habit. Video games and gambling are not that closely related but can be associated which is a trend nowadays to raise money rather then the initial purchase price, in game items can be similar to gambling type items.

That's human nature in which if you don't know how to handle properly will lead you to a messed up life.
Video games alone can be addicted, and more so when there is money involved.
At one point in our lives, we were addicted to some video games and you know the feeling why others can't cope with gaming addiction.
A certain person who wants to change his lifestyle should quit at his own freewill and should have strong reason of doing so.
Otherwise, he will be tempted again and again.

Runescape has the duel arena where you can gamble gold against one another,

Gamble for real or virtual gold?

I do not consider competitive games with rewards as gambling. The winnings aren't random, as only the most prepared have the chance of getting rewarded with something unlike typical gambling where the winning are random.

You got the point and its true which these competitive games cant really be actually considered as gambling yet the odds will most likely to favor for those team which are prepared.

Gambling addiction through video games cant really be avoided for some and gambling will just engage if they have done it personally.In terms of e-sports betting then its an another story.

other gamers, they don't find themselves getting addicted to gambling, it becomes much worse for those who take it too seriously.

Gamers are mainly addicted to games and not on gambling but there might be some gamers that are also addicted on video game gambling especially if there are good in game items that are at stake or if they knew the teams that are playing .

Sometimes, when they play the game, they use money as the bets, and if the player can win the game, then the money will come to the winner. I see that with my friends who play dota but I never thought they would use the money for bets and I only knew after one of them can win the game, and he asks me to follow him to buy some food.

In almost any kind of game, you can make bets or turn it into gambling once you play it with friends or other people.

Not all . Some games ( video games ) are not really enjoyable but some indemand games today like moba ( dota , mobile legends ) and fps ( cs go , pub g ) are the ones that are featured on gambling platforms because they are enjoyable and competitive .

Well, just like other type of games we usually play, it is already being associated with gambling even with the normal games so we can expect that when in comes to video games online or even offline, there is such possibility that gambling can be involved. It is just easy to be solved. Always have your self-control and be mindful that it is just a play that we do not need to be pressured and get to be so serious because a game must be played and not be a cause of problem and we must let ourselves to play the game and do not let the game deceive on playing with us because most likely if that thing happen, you will be leading into the path of addiction. That is why upon playing into an online casino I am currently into, I tend to keep reminding myself that my aim is just to have fun s that I will not exert much money on it to play the variety of games they have and not to chase my lost if ever I did win on the game I played plus I enjoy the great bonus they offer once you have done your first deposit.

Indeed. Almost all games nowadays can be more like associated in gambling due to the risk that are connected on playing into those which is really challenging and addictive but the key for resolving the problem in the case of being addicted on playing is on us players that we must have our self-control whenever we play so that we can still enjoy playing in proper moderation. Playing games are indeed supposedly fun and with no pressure because we must enjoy playing it to have fun because that is what really matters the most in the games we plsy right? I guess we are both into the same crypto casino which is Vegas casino wherein I do agree is fun to play with the variety of games they have like poker, slots, black jack and many more plus their great deals of bonuses for doing my deposits in terms of Bitcoin which I do enjoy based on my own experience making playing gambling convenient and fun to avoid getting into the path of addiction.

In almost any kind of game, you can make bets or turn it into gambling once you play it with friends or other people. Computer games such as DOTA or CSGO can be made more fun if place some bets. Although for other gamers, they don't find themselves getting addicted to gambling, it becomes much worse for those who take it too seriously. Some bets get too high and it becomes too big of a risk instead of being more fun. Heck, even arcade games are addicting sometimes. At first, the arcade seems harmless because of its small cost but before you know it you've already spent ridiculous amounts! (with such mediocre prizes) Moderation is key in anything.

This is possible with gaming enthusiasts, initially they keep on gaming and beyond some form of addiction they get bored of the same. This takes them further onto next level which is gambling on casinos. From my experience I was not that into gaming, but my involvement was directly onto sports betting.
