Topic: Too accessible of online casino grows addiction faster? (Read 3065 times)

We spend more than on our phones or screen devices than almost with physical humans. If people can become addicted to the internet or social media because of accessibility, I do not see a reason why they cannot become addicted to gambling. It is a simple logic. People mindlessly surf the internet to pass time , in so doing people will also surf online casino websites to pass time. That is how addictions begins.

If it does work on you then its good on which you do able to avoid yourself on playing on letting your wife the ones who do handle up your account but i would say that this is some sort of useless thing since
we could easily make out some registration if we wanted to gamble right away.It all matters on someones control and discipline on how they would be handling out themselves then it comes to gambling.
Not all would really be that open or honest with their wives when it comes into their online transactions or dealings specially with gambling.Only a few would really be that open
when it comes to this matter.

No one can deny, that the impact of the internet has an influence on all aspects of modern human life for now. both from a positive and negative side. Regarding the problem of addiction, addiction is actually a common problem, not only in gambling. because after all, gambling has existed from ancient times to the present and developed according to the times until it switched to online casinos.

Related to the OP's posts in this thread, everyone will agree that with the presence of online casinos. everything becomes easy, we don't even have to go far to visit the casino, if we want to have fun with gambling. every hour, every day, even morning, evening, night, we can access it and play easily. but what is rarely realized is, that we have full will over ourselves. which means, if you or I let in and get lost in the pleasures of gambling without control. then what happens, we allow ourselves to become addicts. well, the point is in ourselves. how do you and I define gambling itself, if without control, without understanding, without responsibility. then, we ourselves are responsible for allowing to become addicts. It doesn't matter if it's an online casino or a physical casino, because, the real key lies with us.

The first result of not having self-control is losing money, regardless of the amount. And the worst consequence is experiencing addiction which will be difficult to get rid of, especially if he does not realize that he has a serious problem, namely gambling addiction. And if he accesses gambling sites from his phone too often, it can have a more severe consequence, namely health problems, especially for his eyes, which often look at phones too often. The person experiencing this problem should be able to kick the habit and maybe leave his cell phone for a while to get rid of his dependence on it.

Yeah , this is why I let my wife hold my online account nowadays  so I cannot access them directly without her permission so at least I can only deposit and gamble if she let me and in this way? i now preventing myself from connecting hugely in gambling.
internet really makes people have a life so easy and also become a gambler all her life if that is the case.
so please be connected to someone that can hinder us to gamble.

Diverting attention from gambling is a must that we need to do if we don't want to experience many problems after playing gambling.
Taking time off to sleep, sit or even do other activities will help relieve the tension you have experienced while gambling.
And don't use your phone for other activities while resting because it can make you want to revisit gambling sites.
This is so that you can still take care of yourself even though we know we can easily visit casino sites anytime.

Your friend is absolutely right. The ease of access with online casinos makes it really hard to resist. So if you have a tendency to really gamble all the time, it will grow even worse if you get into online gambling. You better avoid it. Don't even start it. That is enough to develop your addiction. Not only is online gambling very accessible, it is also available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. And there are so many choices of online casinos to choose from, you could do casino hopping. It is fun yet risky.

That's a fact and I won't be surprised if gambling addiction will become one of the major problems globally seeing how accessible and convenient it is. Not to mention it's becoming a trend and lots of influencers promoting different casinos. Even minors can access nowadays.

I agree with you. You should fully divert your attention. Preferably those things that could potentially earn you money but then focus is a must coz we know how accessible casino is and could make you broke in more or less than a minute during your break time.

Only a true gambler can really relate to what you are saying. The mentality to gamble at your relaxed time always comes as a thought and most person who are not strong give in to this thought. I have had so many situations like this, i gamble both online and even offline at physical casino houses and i would say i was having a very bad addiction but i have managed to limit it, the ease of the online really makes game much deadly from my perspective. Because even if you are awake in the mid night and you are not doing anything the thought of gambling a little just enters your mind which will be impossible to accomplish if you are gambling on physical casino houses but with your phone, you can gamble even at that time making your gambling habit more addictive.

Too much spare time is more of a reason then availability.   Think of all the drink available nearby in most parts of the country and its been tried as a ban plenty also, same as gambling it costs money to buy into but people drink too much as well.  The best thing anyone can do is dont be too lazt, have an objective or hobby to concentrate on as idle hands will do the most harm.

This is true, even today I had big loss. Being Lonely drives you towards Gambling. The scenario at which I've lost the money out of gambling is really bad. I shouldn't have gambled at such situation. The accessibility to gamble sitting in a hospital have made me loss it. I'm not into addiction, but once after losing I understood the accessibility have made me loss. If not I could've spend time on something else and couldn't have ended up losing.

I agree on the snipped word above.

It does have advantage and disadvantage and this is why as a person then you should know on how to look into those things.Make use of technology  for it to be beneficial and brings out that comfort and access
which simply brings out that kind of convenience without needing to go with hassle just for you to gamble.If you arent that good on handling  yourself when it comes to gambling
then you should avoid it out.

Not only control & self awareness, but we also also need to be disciplined and committed to ourselves to gambling in a proper way. We should have limitation to gamble, maybe 1-2 hours or a few hours per day. And must limit the funds, too. If it reaches the limit, we must stop gambling immediately. Never breaks the limit!! Because once we break the limit, we will lose control of ourselves.

Technology always have 2 sides (advantage and disadvantage).
Technology makes everyone can gamble any where in the world, no region restrictions. You don't need to spend much time to go offline casinos because you have many online casinos on your phones. Technology makes it easier, it is actually the advantage. But I know it is also the disadvantage if we view it on the other side. Too easy accessing casinos (gambling sites), makes people spend too much time to gamble. People who have no limitation to play, will have a high chance to be addicted. Then, they will get a trouble on their finances and habits. So, how to deal with this? That's what we already explained above.

Well, no doubt that technology has a role to harm people. But it is also caused by bad nature of the people. I agree we can't blame the technology 100%, people can avoid the addiction if they gamble properly. It is a choice to gamble in the right way, or gamble carelessly.

Self awareness and control is all we do need on making ourselves not really be able to engage up that much into something specially with gambling.Gambling isnt bad though as long you are in control with your finances which is a must.Yes, it cant really be avoided that you could play out gambling in very easy steps just because of the technology that we do have today where easy access is something you could deal off with.Its true that it is one way that make things more simpler but getting addicted is something a personal choice that had been made.

You cant put out all the blame into the technology because dealing up with something is always your own decision and not on someone else.

Maybe that it is just me but it made me want to gamble even less. Because it's too accessible, which means that I can gamble whenever I want to, at first this was a great thing and I gambled a lot because I wasn't able to do that before, but then it became something ordinary, the fact that I can do it anytime I want made me want to stay away from it a bit, basically it became boring. Of course there are people with gambling addictions, so that is a problem for them and I am not denying that it exists.

However, for me it is not like that and I end up with something much better, which is the fact that I got bored doing that all the time so I do it a lot less nowadays.

But certainly, whatever the addiction. an addict, will always find a way to channel or to fulfill high desires. Believe me, it doesn't matter if it's alcohol, certain substances, or addicted to gambling.
so, related to the thread that the OP posted. the internet is only one of the supporting factors, as well as online casinos. in essence, the problem is in ourselves. even we consciously know very well, that gambling carries a high risk, apart from losing money, the bad impact is addiction.

Especially now that we can access it freely, anywhere, anytime, it's all up to us. well, so it's clear that the problem is in the man himself. because of that, it really needs a good understanding of gambling. also, responsibility with what we do. at least, we have good self-control and make gambling only part of a fun hobby with money that has been prepared to lose.

Drugs in the general sense.

Alcohol is a drug, and available legally in most places on earth. Same with tobacco, and other substances...

Coffee can be addictive too, and chocolate as well, etc. Even certain behaviors can be addictive. It doesn't matter what you're addicted to, it produces a similar pattern in the brain, which is a "feel good" chemical when you do the activity or consume the substance.

Perhaps the phrase "out of sight, out of mind" is quite applicable here.

In gambling, those people who don't have self-restraint will eventually develop addiction. Discipline is really a must the moment you decide to engage in gambling activities because it can cost you so much if ever you don't have the ability to control it. If the person is addicted, there's a higher chance they will do reckless moves and impulsive decisions which could include frequent accessing their mobile devices because it is within their reach and probably make some bets that could trigger their spending habits.

This is why intervention is really a must. Professional help is needed in order to combat addiction. Otherwise, it'll just be a never ending cycle.

Indeed, the level of addiction will be higher if that person often uses his phone to carry out various activities. And if they have found a casino that makes them comfortable, they will use their phone more often, especially to access online casino sites and immediately gamble wherever they are. He will exacerbate the condition if he does not have other activities that can make him stop using his phone, which might be the start of his experiencing gambling addiction.

it is actually easy said than done mate, we keep saying that we can control our gambling activities but the truth is? once we have funds and feels gambling? there is no way that we can control ourself.
I have been there before and i know the feeling that you wanted to leave gambling but we keep on betting and tries everything to win.
