The pandemic changed everything, there was already a trend in place in which everything was already at the tip of our fingers thanks to our smartphones, but since the pandemic started this trend accelerated dramatically as many people around the world experimented long lockdowns in which they could not leave their homes except for work and if they had some emergency, and even if those lockdowns are no longer in place people have adapted and now prefer this convenience, something which can be dangerous when it comes to activities like gambling which in some cases it can generate compulsive behaviors.
The pandemic was a big fortune for digital platforms as people can't leave there homes in early days and everything was done digitally. Those who enjoyed online gambling during pandemic have continued that even after restrictions were removed.

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?

In the field of addictive psychology, easy access is a major drive or motivation for any form of addiction. This is why most addicts are kept in isolated places where they would have any access to the this they are addicted to. The main cause of underage gambling addiction is easy access. An underaged gambler might not be able to visit a real-life gambling house because he knows that everyone would know that he is underaged. But he can easily use his mobile phone and gamble as much as he wants.
But online gambling is here to stay, which means people must have to develop self-control to avoid this problem. And parents should monitor their children to ensure that they are not gambling when they are not mature to control their gambling behavior.

What do you think about this claim? Is he right or wrong?
Yes, he is absolutely right.
Today access to gambling consists of taking your hand in your pocket and unlocking a device, so in less than 2 minutes you are already betting.
Cryptocurrencies have also made addictions much easier, as it is currently much easier and less bureaucratic for you to move funds from your self-custodial wallet to your online casino account than worrying about withdrawals or withdrawal limits at conventional banks.
However, we must remember that online casinos, when well chosen, are much safer compared to physical casinos. In addition to other benefits that are not discussed here.
So, quickly answering your question: Yes, they become addictive faster, but for those who know how to control themselves, there is only advantage in using them.
What do you think about this claim? Is he right or wrong?
I don't think an obvious difference can be compared and needs any further discussion.
Of course, gambling physically does have its own advantages and disadvantages for a gambler, same goes for online gambling. It now depends on users' preference if they want to play gambling in physical casinos or just online.
..and no shortage of losing money as well,
Disagree. If you think online gambling will minimize your loss, you better think again.
The more convenient and accessible gambling way, the more prone to losing money.

Convenience is too much temptation for some, I would recommend asking the casino to put you on a do not fly list for a year to remove the possibility until you have an 'annual' trip be it an actual physical journey or just virtually restrict yourself to a brief holiday of gambling. I get his point about distance and convenience, this could apply to food and alcohol also perhaps, too close and people just automatically use it all up but that is extreme imo.
Yes, conveniences indeed increase desires, as availability aid access and just as you have rightly said this does not limit gambling but every other addictive activity, but what I don't see effective is the part of self-exclusion from gambling. -That is not too helpful l as the player can easily create another account and gamble with it.
-more effective way is to take a walk away from every activity as it relates to gambling self control is a most essential characteristic in dealing with addiction such as this.

For me it's just the same though, and as far as Las Vegas goes, the last time I was there, a lot of slots machines are place in strategic places not just casinos. So in a case you don't need to drive or travel to the Strip to play slot games, it's everywhere there.
And once you are addicted, even though how far the casinos are, you are going to travel no matter what time of the day it is.
I'm talking about my experience before, when I was so addicted that I will even skip office or go to casino office hours to play and gamble. So it doesn't make any difference in my opinion.
online is more accessible for everyone, all they need is a phone and money. and when they feel lucky, they will play. there are several casinos that can just be installed and they are good to go. no need to travel somewhere but sit around a corner.
the addiction is still the same, you'll travel to gamble whenever you think you can win back the money lost. but with the online casino option, even with just $10 left in the account, the addict will still bet it.
