What wise do you mean?
Even though everyone doesn't want to be addicted to gambling, indirectly curiosity will make someone go crazy about gambling and this cannot be avoided by every gambler.
Because actually being wise in dealing with gambling and online casinos is something that is impossible for every gambler to do.
What's more, if someone gambles using an online casino which has the convenience of accessing it at any time, as long as they have money they will continue to gamble at the online casino.

I think he has a point. But to me, I think gambling in physical casinos is more enjoyable than playing on the phone, online. On the other hand, he already stated the reasons why gambling online is more addictive than playing in traditional casinos. Some other factors might be because it consumes less energy (which makes you play continuously for many hours) on top of it, you have all the means to deposit and play anytime.

It would be good, for example, if the stories had more statistical data or new things:
 I travel to Las Vegas and I spend $1000 in 6 months.  With zero profit.
 In that same time I have logged into my cell phone 180 times and I have lost or won x amount of money.

But...:
 I am more profitable playing in Las Vegas casinos.
 I am more profitable playing from my cell phone.

Then:
 When I'm playing live I use my cell phone to continue playing online too, I think I should put it down and focus on my game.

So, one should be able...:
One can analyze so many things and then accommodate each case to be profitable, avoid excess hours of play and manage losses and profits.

Finally...(imo)
But none of the above to a normal guy, healed, will cause addiction beyond what he can't control.

Addiction or gambling is a disease that is intrinsic in the person and that those who develop it generally have other associated pathologies, depression, anxiety, bipolar, etc.

Becomes addicted to games in the same way as he can to anything else that exists, alcohol, drugs, porn, social networks, in fact he surely has been addicted to other things and it stands out in something like gaming.

 It is obvious that immediate exposure to any of the above causes will develop your addiction.

 In any case, having a confidant or family member to help and oblige in the professional evaluation process is better than assuming.  

Please, Tell your friend "let's do a professional evaluation," to find out who is more prone to gambling.

Do not deceive yourself or do not be deceived, it is just because you were never an addict before. Although self-exclusion can help but not in an easy way, it can help when your family stepped in, know that you are addicted and trying all possible ways for you to stop. For oneself, it is not easy, you may not use self-exclusion and you may leave gambling, but if you are an addict, you can opt-in for self-exclusion and still later feel like gambling and register on another gambling site again and again. To stop gambling, or to stop addiction, it starts from within yourself, not by activating self-exclusion. But having the discipline and opt-in for self-exlclusion would be a good option.

Only in theory I would say.The problem is that once you become addicted it won't stop you a simple drive to not go to the physical casino of your choice.I was once addicted to offline casinos many many years ago and I had the nearest casino many miles away yet this didn't stop me to go there almost every day,it tired me a lot,I lost my job back then and many other benefits because of such addiction but what I want to say is that addiction does not grow faster or slower when we have better accessibility right now with our modern devices,that is just how one person feels.

We have to be wiser in gambling because we will have a bad experience when we force our desire to continue gambling, even though we use our cellphones to gamble when we are outside the house. And indeed, online gambling can make us more addicted than when we go to physical casinos because of the ease of access that we can get in online casinos. And this is where we have to be wise in dealing with online casinos because I'm sure no one will want to become addicted to gambling after they play gambling.

We can all relate in this one , because there are many of us who gambles more when they start learning online casinos comparing when we are not in this area and we mostly experience more losses but accessibility wise more than playing in real life casino houses.

Absolutely right. Moreover, we are not talking about a mere perception or hypothesis. If we look on the internet we will see that there are plenty of studies that point to a relationship between the availability of online gambling and gambling-related problems.

For example: Online Gambling Addiction: the Relationship Between Internet Gambling and Disordered Gambling

Fewest gambler can control their addiction with gambling platform and difficult how to recovery or make them stop totally with gambling, have looking on destination active in gambling platform as entertainment or want to earn much passive income with gambling platform or casino.

I think for gambler with challenge entertainment only they can control their addiction when have top stop with gambling and having good time controlling, but if want to be richest person with gambling I don't have ideas how to stop their addiction with gambling platform and actually most difficult.

absolutely true, like I said in the initial reply. online casinos would become more practical when a gambler couldn't reach a live casino and it was all due to circumstances.
I mean like now there are lots of countries that prohibit gambling but in those countries there are lots of gamblers who want to keep betting even though it's prohibited in their country. so the option to still be able to gamble is by reaching out to online casinos.

and for addiction problems, of course, it returns to the commitment of each gambler.

Agree with both of you because, after all, we are the ones who have to be responsible for ourselves and if we want to gamble, we have to realize that gambling can make us addicted and we have to prevent it before we get it. A self-exclusion protocol might help gamblers who want to try to control themselves so they don't become addicted, but that depends on the gambler's intentions. The gambling business that is growing on a large scale is not to make us addicted, but we can have many places to play gambling instead even becoming addicted.

I believe it is true to some extent. It is about availability.
For example, here in my city there is no casino people can go and gamble to have a good time,so if not for the online casinos, the thousands of people here could go through most of their lives without the chance of gambling.

Again, it is availability and statistics.

^Definitely right, it is not about gambling if you want to control addiction, it is in yourself that starts how to control addiction.
That is why online gambling casino is now the same as mushroom, they keep coming and competing with each other because there are a lot of people who gamble, and most of them can't control themselves which turn into an addiction. So either offline or online casinos it becomes addictive if you don't have control over yourself. The massive growth could be, it is too accessible but not the reason you will become addicted.

It’s hard to resist actually when everything about online gambling is very much accessible regarding if you are employed or still a student. And that’s where discipline in gambling should take place in order not to fall from too much addiction. So if you think you are not able to control your urges and you still make hasty decisions especially if you are at loss, then it’s better to never enter gambling as gambling itself is always a way of losing.

Everything lies on how the gambler takes discipline in gambling. If he gambles because that is his hobby, surely he will get addicted eventually, but if he will only gamble at his own spare money, when that amount is used up, he will have no reason to gamble more. That is better way to prevent from gambling addiction, setting a budget limit for gambling.

Well it's basically true, This is why the growth of online casino is faster rather than physicals casino because people are starting to prefer online casino since it's a hassle free way of doing gambling and it is way too accessible for anyone who has an internet connection and don't have any restrictions on their country. Though there are still people who prefer doing gambling on real casino since it is for them way too entertaining to physically gamble and I agree that the experience to it is way too different. Both of it just have their own cons and pros, It is on how you prefer it.

Yes, it all matters on how you would really be handling out yourself because if you arent really that good on handling out yourself then you would really be definitely be having that huge problem or you could really

be finding yourself on easily get addicted because this is something that you should really be avoiding on the time you do engage with gambling.Its true that with the technology that we do have today on which
it is really just that easy to access out gambling sites online with having those few clicks and then you a re good to go.

It all matters on how you do make yourself have that good control onto your emotions and being aware in regarding into your own actions.

He can be right or wrong depending on how a gambler manage himself when gambling. If he gambles most of the time maybe because he has no permanent job to look after, that will trigger addiction because of chasing previous losses and chasing for more profits. However, if he gambles only at his spare time just to have fun and become entertained, he will most likely not develop addiction because he only gamble occasionally.

Yes, and that is something that few people understand, when there are many cases of addiction they always blame the casinos, but a casino does not force a player to play, the player is the one who assumes the risk and plays, Since a person enters to play, they know that if they lose what they are risking, they should have considered it, otherwise I do not think that a casino has any responsibility, if the casino lets a person who is a minor enter, if they have any responsibility, because a minor Being old is synonymous with problems, in a physical casino they take great care of minors because they can harm them, but I totally agree that addiction problems are the fault of the same person.

That's definitely true. The fact that people have to actually do something, be in action in order to visit the casino mixed with the lazy nature of humans, it's absolutely logical and true to say that it discourages many people from not only frequent but from occasional gambling too.
Also, in countries where casinos are located in cities and towns, in areas where there are some other public buildings next to it, people also try to avoid to visit casinos with the fear of what if my relative sees me, what people think about me, etc.

The accessibility and the easiness to gamble increases the number of people who risk to gamble, which in return increases the number of "gambling victims".
