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? 


This is correct and I also agree with this statement, the online casino is hassle-free, you don't have to go to the casino itself literally, using your car that you will load with fuel where you pay for the fuel of your car can you use it to match in the casino online, what if it hits, isn't it a great help and comfort to a gambler?

Although I am not saying that it is bad to gamble in a land-based or physical casino, of course, it also has advantages compared to online. Online is only recommended if you don't want to leave your place.

I agree with this. Online casino is more addictive because you can access it easily at any time while real life casinos needs time and also tiring. Being addict to an online casino can be manage or prevented. Just set limitations on gambling online to avoid addiction.

I gamble in real life casino if I only have much time but I prefer doing it online and at home.

Depending on how the gambler understands the meaning of gambling itself, sometimes it is true that with easy access with mobile phones we can gamble at any time and get addicted, but if he can control himself not to become an addict, it won't have any effect.
For example, I like to play gambling using my cell phone instead of having to go to a place to play gambling because the ease of access makes me comfortable playing gambling, but that doesn't mean that every time I play gambling, sometimes when I have free time I play gambling and it's not a priority, after all I'm not I'm unemployed because I still have other work to do, it's a powerful way to keep me from becoming an addict  Wink

He is somewhat correct. There is surely no shortage of casinos and gambling houses around different neighbors but it is so easy to pull out your mobile, top up your account and start gambling for as long as you want.
One can get addicted to both and would do anything to either get to a casino or use their mobile, but the relative ease of access in one option makes it harder to break from.

Self discipline is key to avoid getting stuck to online gambling as well as filling your time with other habits.

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.
