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

Online gambling isn't that popular until the pandemic happened.
Gamblers can't go to casinos because of lockdowns. They don't want to be idle and they always want to gamble thus, they tried to gamble online and that's the start of popularity of online gambling.

It's definitely true that the COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact and made online gambling more popular. However, it's also worth noting that online gambling was already becoming more popular before the pandemic because of technology and internet access.

Let's look, for example, at the google trends of the last 5 years for terms like "Gambling" and "Online Casino":

There's no denying that there was a big spike in interest during the first year of the pandemic, but it's clear that people were already starting to turn to online gambling more and more. And, it's likely that this trend will continue even after things go back to normal.

Brotherhood is love

The topic creator is very correct about accessibility. When the closest property of anyone is mobile phone, it will always push a gambler to check his portfolio whenever they handle their phones. By this they are becoming more addictive to gambling everyday.

Another point is the easy way to spend money which is already deposited in the gambling company. While in local casino it is fiat that would be used. Having a physical cash will make you think twice before you gamble.

Pandemic somehow contribute the outrageous growth of online casino and we can add up the rising number of social media influencers promoting it then telling that they can easily earn money here that's why many people got curious to try then trap until they didn't realize that they are been addicted with the games.

If people will look at this form of entertainment then its fine but unfortunately many other mislead unto this and they have been told to easily get rich if they continuously play on casinos.

The same pandemic also I fluence the use of cryptocurrency doing the year 2020 when people are not able to move out or go to work. Everyone was stranded inside there abode because of how severe the COVID-19 was leading to the death of so many individuals.

Since people were looking for how to make money in there various abode, this increases the number of gamblers making the use of crypto casinos to be very popular. I won't be surprised if the lockdown start again due to the news I have been hearing so far about COVID-19 infecting people, this will make more people to turn to gambling as an option for survival.

It will be hard for people who get addicted to gambling when they experienced winning huge money, some of them are doing revenge gambling if they lose a lot of money and hope they can gain their loss even though they are losing much more.

They can only control themselves when to stop or minimize the gambling but this might be their stress reliever or might have lot of money but don't know where to spent it.

Thanks for the concern and advice, but my case has not crossed the "red line" yet, it's far from it, I was just being careful, and am even better at fighting it now. The issue is that when people could not know the issue on time, that's how it infests them deeper. Although what I see as an addition might be the regular way of others as I am a busy-minded person that likes to be focused on productive things rather than wasting my time on frivolities. That's where my addictive condition comes from, not that it's a threat to me as such.

Imo instead of cutting it off just set a schedule. If you're unable to abide by it, make some forceful actions like setting up some sort of mechanism that bans you from access to whatever you're usually using for a set amount of time. Addiction in the first place stems from people bypassing any form of schedule and instead overinvesting their time to a certain activity after all, to the point that any time after a certain point obviously makes it very unhealthy.

You can also play long hours in physical casinos too, much longer in online casinos, I have known several guys who spent 2 to 3 days in casinos because everything is already provided in the casinos like food drinks hotels, and entertainment, that is why casinos are situated inside the hotels, the ambiance in physical casinos is to make your stay long hours and spend more, both platforms are addictive you cannot escape addiction if you have no control in how you gamble.

And they offer a lot more in terms of comfortability if you have the money. I mean it is perfectly comfortable to play at home, but that's like the very basic comfort you can get (unless you're rich a f already).

Your close relative is right. Accessibility of online casinos right now is way easier thus, gamblers can gamble straight from their smart phone. Just a few clicks, place a bet and there you go. For gamblers, that would be way easier than driving minutes or even hours to go to a nearby casino just to gamble. Because of online gambling easier to get accessed, gamblers tend to get addicted way faster than when they are going to a casino as they have more time to spend when they are gambling online and when they spend more time, the chances of them getting addicted will be higher. On the other hand, physical casinos can also be addictive as well especially if you are going there more often.

We don't have any nearby casinos in our place and whenever I want to gamble, I always gamble online. Luckily for me, I didn't get addicted into online gambling because I can control myself and I have enough discipline to not to overspend on it as well.

Presently, I am fighting app addiction, it's the same easy accessibility that caused it. Only that casino case is linked with money, and your friend is very right.

It's better if you seek for a professional help since you have a problem about app addiction, you may think you have no problem with it, but sooner or later if you can't solve it yourself, your daily activities will get distracted due to app addiction.

It does depend on how a certain person do control himself when it comes to this.Whenever you are dealing off with gambling, doesnt matter if its online or offline, if you are a type of person who do easily get addicted or get involved with on.There are people who are really that not good on handling themselves when it comes to gambling and thats where people do differ out.It cant really be denied that in todays
generation or era where technology do make things more accessible and this is why making ourselves too much involved on this in a snap where i do agree that it do adds up the
situation on which it could make yourself that addicted.

And only having good self-control can help us prevent addiction problems from coming to us because so far, people who come to gambling have not been prepared for how they should control themselves. They just play and play all the time without any restrictions so once they find the fun of playing gambling, it makes them forget about the risks of gambling addiction. Today's technology has made everything easier and indeed, the use of mobile phones has become an addiction for many people where people can't get away from their phones except when they are sleeping.

while you are correct that it is our self control that will save us , yet we are dealing with easy access here and that is online casino , in Real life casino you need to drive , spend some time just to enter the casino when in online ? only needs gadget and internet so in split a seconds? we are already playing and winning or losing.
that is the main objective of this thread so we can give our own experience towards our gambling action and outcome.

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.

Actually, I believe brick and mortar casinos can be more addictive than online casinos. It's true that they aren't as easy to access as online websites which makes the number of potentially affected customers smaller. Maybe this is why some members think online casinos are more addictive.
The good thing about online casinos is that they have many tools which can help to spot addiction behavior and can blacklist a trouble gambler from all the platforms within a click.

No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small

Quote from: Crypt0Gore on January 24, 2023, 01:24:48 AM

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?

Gambling regardless if it’s online or traditional are proven to be addictive especially to those who gamble without limits and discipline. But I can also say that online gambling can be more dangerous too especially for minors as they can easily gamble using their phones even without the supervision from their guardians. And even with adults too. As long as gamblers have no discipline, and have always seen gambling as a source of income, eventually they will get addicted to gambling.

Snip~

I am sure that you are aware that Bitcoin is created for such purpose and I know that you know it. In short, it defeats the purpose of using cryptocurrency which is you won't be known or stay anonymous but the casino or the platform requires you to submit KYC then why bother gambling in that site or platform using crypto when you can't stay anonymous. I know it's because having license required the owner ask people KYC. It is a vit vague and made you think that it's a dead end for other gamblers who don't want to submit KYC but what I meant is that they will be forced to do KYC when they don't have a choice but to use centralized platforms as you have said.

The fact is Bitcoin's core purpose doesn't include centralization but Bitcoin services can be centralized e.g exchange, casino, and payment processors e.t.c, but even with all the centralization around bitcoin still gives us the choice to either choose to give out our identity or remain anonymous because if an exchange or a casino is centralized as kyc compliance, you as a bitcoin user, you have the right to either give up your identity or look for an alternative platform that is decentralizeded. So it still balls down to one fact that is you are in charge of all your online activities.

Let me ask us this simple but delicate question.
What is in KYC that players always frawn upon, I understand the thing with identity theft by hackers who may get access to casino KYC data base, but aside from this single challenges I don't see why there should be problem submitting you identity documents to get verification, what we should settle in our mind is that, once you make the decision to use centralized platforms then be ready to give out your personal details. So ultimately, KYC is not a dead end for gamblers but a choice to chose from.

I would also say the same that online casinos being too accessible or easy to access cause addiction more serious or grows faster as the title says. Even those people who doesn't like to submit personal information or details to pass KYC in the casino would be forced to submit KYC if they don't like the casinos that doesn't require KYC or prefer much better casinos to gamble. I think only a few people will do it if they really don't want to submit KYC.

Definitely true, anything excess is detrimental. Just do it in moderation.
And it is the person himself that can contain himself, not the others.
So if the person wants himself not to go to the path of losing it all, better do a regular assessment of his situation.
Any activity can be addictive, it now depends on the person how he will live with it without influencing much his overall lifestyle.

People are already so addicted to their mobile phones, I think anything you give them access to on there is liable to end up in addiction. Look at apps like Instagram and Snapchat. These are things that people have turned into their lives. They make friends there, make money there, document their lives there... It's all a little crazy from an old school person like myself who values privacy. So yes, I think having gambling apps on people's phones will increase addiction, but to me this is more of a knock on phones than it is gambling. Businesses are supposed to make their products accessible, but phone producers take no responsibility in the people's addictions.

I'm sure, there are pros and cons regarding which casino is more fun. be it online casinos, or land casinos. but certainly, you have the right to say which one is more fun according to your own version. Speaking of addiction, both land-based casinos and online casinos have great potential if you don't have self-control. It doesn't matter, physical casino or online. If you are an addict, you will always find a way to satisfy your cravings for gambling.

In fact, i would say the opposite of what you said. When you gamble at a physical casino, you get carried away by the casino atmosphere and spend hours on end. you will spend the contents of your savings balance, because there also provides an ATM machine. IMO, nothing is better in this comparison. because after all, everything comes back to you alone. in essence, if we have good control and high awareness. then we, will avoid things that lead to addiction. therefore, make gambling only part of a fun hobby with the money you are prepared to lose.
