What do you think about this claim? Is he right or wrong?

The fact that online gambling is more accessible doesn't make gambling more addictive, the addiction to gambling is the same in any of its presentations. If a user is addicted to gambling then he will drive to reach the casino without any problems.

If a user realizes he has a gambling addiction, to blame the casinos is worthless, he should work on his addiction and not blame how easy is to access the casinos.

I have a discussion with a close relative about online gambling and he said something that about how he hate gambling online because it's too addictive, he claimed real life casinos are better and less addictive because he will have to drive down to Las Vegas to gamble or drive down to a local casino and this still takes some physical effort and it discourages many people from frequenting gambling.

He said with online gambling it's available on through mobile phones and you can play at any time, this means no shortage of gambling around the clock and no shortage of losing money as well, you can easily pull out your phone and gamble with any free time, a bit compulsive and too accessible.

What do you think about this claim? Is he right or wrong?

He's got a point but I think that he just like to gamble more with physical casinos than of online casinos.

The attributes are just the same and he's still going to be addictive in going into the physical casinos but, it's understandable of his comparison about being accessible quickly than of needing the effort to visit the physical one.

But no matter what a gambler chooses, if he's got into the process of being addicted, there won't be any exception. Online or physical gambling, they'll still going to end up with the same result of making an irresponsible gambler addicted.

Ask your relative if he would still say the same thing if he is from Las Vegas or near the area. He won't have that excuse of driving long hours just to go to a local casino now. You could also bring up the argument that physical casinos looks more addictive because it makes players like him to exert more effort so he can gamble hehe.

Your relative has a point. But at the same time, it also means that there is something wrong with people that can get easily tempted and gamble irresponsibly. We are not suppose to gamble beyond our financial limits. We should be gambling for fun while at the same time trying to win.

We live in a modern world where in there is nothing short of stuffs we can do aside from gambling. We can play computer or mobile games if we want to stay online but are already out of budget. We can watch movies or any videos or read articles that interest us. Or we can also go offline and do a lot of stuffs.

He is not wrong and he has a valid point. I’m guilty if this kind of addiction sometimes when I have a lot of free time. I keep playing online casino whenever there’s still balance on my account which I can’t do when playing on IRL casino. Online casino is really addictive because it almost same to the IRL casino in terms of games offered especially with live games and sportsbook added on the casino nowadays.

But an addict person will always find away to drive on the physical casino that’s why I said that he is not wrong but he is not right too. Online casino just make the gambling more convenient but its same addictive in the eyes of addicted gambler.

First off, let's define what gambling addiction is, shall we? Gambling addicts have the uncontrollable urge to keep gambling despite all the negative effects of compulsive gambling they are perfectly aware about. They are, no doubt, sick people and they need professional help. Does the invention of the internet make the life of such people harder? I don't know, maybe it does, but keep in mind that there are only around 5% of such people. It is still a big tragedy and all of us should try to help such people to recover from their illness, but I don't think the rest 95% should be deprived of the entertainment they enjoy so much.

If your friend have a gambling addiction online casino, he can just use self exclusion feature because all of reputable and trusted online casino always have this feature to make sure their gamblers doesn't have addiction problem. The fault is on your friend, actually he need to learn about self control and time management, he shouldn't gamble at anytime or in whole day, maybe your friend is a jobless.

Gambling is in any form which involves money and betting. Ofcourse it would always be accessible. But does it make gambling more addictive? to youngsters somehow yes becuse they get to experience such thing. But what makes gambling addictive is gambler's mindset when playing. If you are one of those players who are eager to get rich from this industry, then you are definitely prone to being addicted into this activity. What causes this mindset? Impression. There are people who becme rich from winning the jackpot or big time. That is true but think of how huge the gap or difference in comparison with the number of people who are losing. This simply implies that not all people would be fortunate in gambling and that is an enough reason to avoid yourself being too dragged into it.

He has a good point but to gamblers, it's not about getting hooked or not, its what will make them enjoy the games, you cannot force yourself to play at Physical casinos because it is less harmful than online gambling, it where you enjoy the most, the fact is online gambling is beating offline casinos because of the fairness, accessibility, and easiness of using the platform and besides even if you're playing in offline casinos if you do not have control of yourself you will still become addictive to gambling.

That is valid because many people have experienced that, and many have problems controlling their gambling habits because of the ease of access to online gambling sites. It would be difficult to maintain the practice once it has formed, so you have to watch out if you are doing it too much.

The persons discipline would be tested here, because if you can control your urges, then you could gamble with a peace of mind. You are in control, but if you started to notice that you are doing it too much, then better to be away from your device.

That’s why some countries have decided to ban gambling, because in their society, they probably noticed the effects of that.

Well, physical casinos can also be addictive especially with all the freebies and complementaries that they offer. They will try their best to capture your attention so you would be able to stay at the casino for as long as they want and for you to actually gamble again.

He is correct. With the rise of online gambling and its surging popularity due to the pandemic, its convenience and accessibility is easier. You can experience the same level of adrenaline in your home as if you are actually participating onsite a physical casino. The only problem stems on how easy it is for any person to enter an online gambling website as underage minors are prone to this.

He is only partially right.I used to go to offline casinos many many years ago and let me tell you one thing,I couldn't care less about taking the time and physical effort to go there,when you are addicted it is the same be it online or offline casino you don't care,you only think about it and surely the physical location of the casino is no big deal when you are such addicted.

Of course the online casino is much more accessible as you can play anywhere and this is comfortable for the gambler but when it comes to addiction be it online or offline casino it won't change a thing unless you have the nearest physical casino many km away from your place.

- As far as I know, there is no online gambling yet many people become addicted to gambling. Online casinos became trending and became well known during the covid19 pandemic. This means that the casino online only adds to make an individual gambler addicted.

But there is no denying that online casinos are good in this era because even in the country you are in, you can gamble through casinos online gambling, that is the only advantage I have seen.

Nah, that's just an excuse (in terms of addiction). There are a bunch of ways you can use to ban yourself from visiting online casinos, self-exclusion exists, and extensions that ban the website (just slam the keyboard when passing a password so you don't unlock it). There are also a bunch of processes involved before you even start playing like signing up and then depositing, might be a small duration for some but definitely enough to wake up and stop yourself.

Idk if it exists but you can maybe set your card to deny withdrawal requests if it's through casinos, or just disconnect it if you see it connected. For cryptos well, idrk, maybe just throw it to a hardware wallet and lock it with multiple locks so you'd have to spend some level of effort to withdraw.

Won't deny that it does make gambling anywhere faster though.

He's correct because you can gamble anywhere by just using internet and it makes many gamblers becomes addicted easily.
This is one of the consequences of technologies today, many abused it and being uncontrolled. If you think you can't handle your addiction anymore better to seek some help and restrict yourself from any online activities. Physical casinos still serve its purpose, some still prefer the traditional way of gambling instead of playing online though whatever you choose, you can still be addict so be responsible always.

There really is no better gambling, real casino or online gambling.
But I agree with what your relatives have said about online gambling, why? This can be a way to lead to loss or bankruptcy because it is very easy for people to access these online gambling sites with their gadgets, and they don't know when and where they can play them.

I couldn't agree less with this and I've also said this earlier that one of the reasons for addictiveness on gambling is as a result of this ease of access on mobile phones.
Before the introduction of mobile veesions of casinos, there were less cases of gambling addictiveness or gambling related suicide cases as a result of the effort one has to put into trying to gamble from going down to the physical outlet to going back home after gambling were one of the major reasons one couldn't get easily addicted to gambling and there are times when I would love to gamble but when I remember the fact that I would have to treek from my home to the casino which is over 30 mins while treeking I will just have to call on someone else to gamble ho okay the games I stake

Its subjective, what if I feel taking my phone on the hands and go to a browser and login to a casino site and choose a game and decide bet amount and finally click the roll which involves some physical activity too so anyone who feel driving down to a casino can say the same reason for gambling online too. Roll Eyes

If you decide to gamble online its your own decision, if you decide to smoke its your own decision so you are in control of it so you can't blame the availability of products for your pleasure.

I think this topic should be on the Child Board - Gambling discussion

I do agree with your friend with online gambling you are always a few clicks away from an online casino. Your urge to gamble will always be there and you find free time to satisfy your urge by just accessing an online casino app or a website. This why a lot of online casinos have poped up and are getting a good amount of traffic.

all of that returns to the self-control of each gambler. if a gambler is able to control himself from becoming a crazy gambling addict, all is well.

for me online gambling makes it easier for a gambler to reach gambling remotely. I mean, like during the Covid 19 case, it would be better for us to gamble online without meeting many people to stop transmission.
on the other hand, online gambling will be safer when you win big from gambling there are no bad people who will follow us and rob us of our money. different from physical gambling when we win big many people know and there is a criminal who is stalking us.

In conclusion, online gambling or physical gambling has its own advantages and disadvantages. it's just that online gambling is more practical and safer.
for the problem of being addicted, I say again it depends on each gambler. if a gambler is always able to control himself to gamble according to their planned commitment, I don't think it will make it more addictive.

anyway, wouldn't this thread be better in the gambling discussion section.
