Topic: What are the consequences of online casino games? - page 13. (Read 3066 times)

One consequence of online gambling that I can think of is easy accessibility, you can be anywhere at anytime and start gambling through your mobile phone. If you want to visit a physical casino, you need to plan for it, sometimes when it's time to go out to gamble, you might become tired or something else can happen to make you change your mind. So because of the easy accessibility to online gambling, you might devote more time to it than necessary, which can lead to addiction. But if someone can control the urge to over gamble, then online gambling can be beneficial to the person, he can relax and have fun while engaging in it .

In my opinion, whatever form of gambling both offline gambling and online gambling, equally has a huge risk in finances and also our psychological stability if we have been stuck with addiction, the story that you share about someone who lost more than $5000 in a short period of time, is certainly an example of a small fraction of the risk that we can get in gambling,even it shows how quickly losses can accumulate when one tries to catch up with their previous defeats.

To be honest, I personally also experienced the same story, but the difference is that I have won quite a lot in a slot game, but thinking to be able to win even bigger so that I finally losing the winning, that's why I always emphasize the importance of always playing wisely and setting limits in gambling in every post I have been posting so far.

do you gamble offline? if yes, then the same sense of joy, satisfaction or excitement that comes with that is what's also associated with online gambling. everyone gamble for some reasons that's best known to them but basically, the reason for gambling is primarily because of the fun that's associated with it and then the pay that comes with winning bets has now almost taken the place of the fun such that people are more interested in winning bets rather than having the fun that's associate to gambling.

if you are gambling because you want to make your life more successful. it means that you are gambling for the wrong reason and the obvious end product will be gambling addiction or you might end up being bankrupt. moderation is key in every thing we do and gambling is not an exception. there are people that have wrecked there lives through gambling and there are others that have had a turning point in their lives because of the jackpot they have won, at the end, you just have to make use of your head and ensure you don't gamble irresponsibly or else, the consequences of gambling wrongly will tell on you.

First of all, what is the background for you to decide to make this post, and what makes you think about the success, destruction, or consequences of gambling. whatever it is, whether land-based or online, the point is the same related to betting and gambling. I used to think that gambling was easy and could generate income. but slowly my understanding changed, gambling is more free to play on the basis of a hobby or fun entertainment. if you have thoughts or seek success from gambling, then you will often be involved in problems and pressure. because, in gambling nothing is certain and everything is very much related to luck. even though you like to gamble by involving skills, thinking, strategy and the like, in the end luck is involved in what is called betting or gambling. we all must have different perspectives related to gambling, whether online or land-based. I just want to say like other members in general, gamble only as part of entertainment and use funds that you can afford to lose. if you lose, stop or divert to something else and we can come back another time. that way, at least we will not be stressed and think we can recover the defeat. but it is not easy for people who are easily involved in emotions, that's why self-control is an idea that must be involved for gamblers like us.

Addiction is like the end result that will definitely happen to everyone who gambles, this is a big possibility that will happen later, whether they gamble for fun or for profit. Gambling itself can actually make us addicted, but the key is certainly in ourselves, if we ourselves can restrain ourselves from getting addicted, then the risk of addiction will not occur, but it cannot be denied that addiction is like a spice that must be present in gambling, only a few people can restrain themselves from getting addicted periodically.

People who are not ready to lose the money they bet are people who can experience great losses, because with behavior that is not ready to lose it can make them continue to want to recover the losses that previously occurred, if their thinking is like this, then what will happen is impulsive behavior that continues to occur, and sometimes, for example, if they have succeeded in getting a win, they still can't stop doing it.

He may have been too eager to increase his bet money quickly, which is why his losses increased. He used the Martingale method as a strategy. He may have thought that if he could win once, he would recover all his money. But the result was the opposite, and he had to lose all his money. It is certain that he was addicted to gambling. He must have needed to take a break because of his repeated losses, but he did not. I can firmly say that if he had 10 instead of 5K, he would have lost the same. That is why it is necessary to learn to control himself. Those who cannot control themselves in gambling will never be able to achieve their goals by gambling. However, the purpose of gambling should never be taken as a source of income.

Too much of a thing is never good. If you try to go to gambling for everything that you do and think that its going to be your saving grace 9 times out of 10 you will lose that bet! Don't let this be your end all be all. Can you find success in gambling? Sometimes? Are your odds of finding success in gambling great? NO! Find the sure thing pal. One bird in hand is better than two in the bush.

To have a healthy life and think reason like others you shouldn't place your priority dependently only in gambling because I have seen many which has ruined their lives because of relying solely on making profit from gambling. Most the people whom you see today that are facing all manner of mental challenges are being caused by either gambling or excessive consumption of hard drugs leading to gambling, its better to have your efforts focused on something more productive to give you much profits that solely relying on gambling to make a living and also try your possible best to always see gambling as just to have fun and not a place for futuristic fortune.

The answer to your question is No, you can't make your life more successful through gambling and mostly over dependent and consistent gambling habits leads one to destruction, depression, losses and many more and hence the importance of gambling are versatile but people tend to abuse it's benefits for the reverse, but then gambling is for relaxation and fun and sometimes a stress anxiety antidote.

Achieving financial success in life through gambling is really not that guaranteed as the rate of going bankrupt is extremely greater than any success thay can be said to have been recorded in this regard.

As gamblers, success in gambling is a random phenomenon that comes with luck and not per how much of a strategy or efforts exerted. The ripple effect of wrong approach towards gambling is usually of one that leads to self-destruction mainly through addiction that may be develop in the quest to achieving some supposed success.

I think the importance of online gambling are many but I'll underscore just a few that come into mind at the moment, which are:
There is convenience that comes with gambling online, you don't get to worry about certain improper behaviours of some strangers you may come across in some on-land gambling house.
Secondly, there's this privacy for those that seem not to let out their gambling life to the public knowledge or to friends and family. They can always privately enjoy their gambling time only without any disturbance. Etc.

This could be just another topic about the harm caused by games, but you started the OP very well... giving us the opportunity to talk about the benefits of games, something that very few people talk about but that if you think about it, there are several very relevant factors...

I will mention 5 benefits linked to mental health that gambling promotes:

• Stress Relief
  Playing online games can be a great way to relax and relieve the stress of everyday life. The experience in a virtual world can help people temporarily escape from worries and doubts, providing a sense of relaxation.
  
• Improved Concentration and Focus
  Many online games require strategic judgment and attention to detail. Playing these games can improve concentration and focus, since players need to keep track of information, perform complex tasks and make quick decisions.
  
• Virtual Socialization
  Online games often involve interaction with other players, whether through text or voice chat. This can help to ease loneliness and promote socialization, even if it’s only virtual. Having a community of like-minded gamers can be comforting.
  
• Developing Cognitive Skills
  Many online games involve puzzles, problem-solving and strategy, which can stimulate the brain and improve cognitive skills. These include skills such as logical thinking, decision-making, motor cooperation and problem-solving.
  
• Sense of Accomplishment
  Completing missions, achieving goals and progressing in an online game can create a sense of accomplishment and self-esteem. This can be particularly beneficial for people facing real-life challenges, as they can experience success and overcoming obstacles in the virtual world.
  

However, it’s important to remember that balance is key. Excessive time spent gaming can also have a negative effect on mental health, and lead to issues such as social isolation, anxiety and depression. Therefore, it’s important to play in moderation and be aware of the impact that gaming can have on your life.

There's no definite answer to the questions, the outcome of our gambling activity depends on us and not what the definition of online gambling is. You determine if you're going to be victorious or among the many people losing money always when gambling. Before you start gambling you have to be sure of what you want to achieve from gambling. Are you gambling for entertainment or gambling because you're broke and you're looking for ways of making money. Gambling can destroy your life and make it miserable and it can also make your life full of smiles because of the payout that you get from your victory. The consequences of gambling online is that you don't have a limit to how long you're going to gamble and this can lead to addiction that's why you have to be incharge of the decision that you take when gambling and not allow the games to control you and making you to lose money.

It can lead your life into destruction if you don't know how to control yourself through it.

Many points can be made about the importance and relevance of gambling. But from the many, this is one of them.

You'll understand the importance of how valuable your money is. Because when it is there, you won't value its worth but when it's gone and you've lost it through gambling excessively, you'll understand the importance I am saying.

Gambling isnt bad as long you do make yourself that being responsible in towards into your actions then there would really be no issued but on the time or moment that you do find yourself having those kind of probabilities that you might be ending up on being addicted then this is where problems would really be starting up to raise up. Therefore, it will really be that just recommended that you do really know into the things that you are really that dealing into. If you do play or engage with gambling then better not to have that kind of impulsive approach into it and always having that moderation.

You would really be that living in a miserable life on the time or moment that you do make out such actions towards gambling. Gamble for fun and not for money
then you should really be just that fine.

Gamblers that are extremely lucky are the people that become successful through the help of gambling, winning from gamble is not guaranteed that and many gamblers have already become addicted to gamble because of greed. So it's wise to risk what you can afford to lose so that even though you are not lucky, you will not chase your lose and still ended up as an addicted gambler.

If this is as serious as this your comment makes me think or believe this is, then you really have to stand up and find a way around this, get yourself free from any form of gambling addiction before it completely destroys you..

One way to begin is by gambling solely for fun, you don't have to play for money all the time, like myself, I realized that when ever I gamble with the expectation of winning money, and I end up loosing instead, it messes me up, I gets angry at everyone and everything, I get frustrated, the thought of what better I would or should have used that lost money for will haunt me (sometimes) more than a week or more depending on the amount of money involved   this wasnt good for my mental health, and to put an end to it, I started to learn to gamble just to have fun with no expectation of profit whatsoever in my mind, and today, I enjoy gambling like never before..

I wish you all the best bud, and hope you get over this for good.

The answer is yes, it is possible to be successful, but if we look at the results, most people are destroyed because of gambling, instead of pursuing success, they are the ones who go bankrupt, so don't expect too much success from gambling, it's better to use it for your own entertainment.

The consequences of online gambling are enormous but one of the major effects that come with it is the addictiveness. Casino games can be really addictive especially when you are playing online. I remember someone that lost more than 5k dollars playing a slot game online. He was chasing his losses by doubling his bets after every loss, he ended up losing everything he had in his account. Online casino games are dangerous and if you get obsessed with These games you will definitely have financial issues, Always remember to Play safe.

On the contrary, gambling is a good means of earning money just that it is not predictable when you will make the money. The only problem I notice with gamblers is that we are eager to win money from a particular game instead of aiming series of games because gambling is a thing of probability. For instance, instead of concentrating all your resources on a particular bet, it is wiser to look at winning a good number of bets from many bets where you will distribute your resources evenly, this will make you not to lose all your resources on a single bad bet.

Every gambler certainly has their own experience in the world of gambling and from what I see it seems that from the start you have the wrong perspective on gambling and also most likely you do not know about the concept of gambling so that it makes it difficult for you to become a responsible gambler where you always experience pressure, regret and stress every time you experience defeat, your biggest mistake is that you did not understand from the start that gambling is not a place to generate victory, but with the bad experience you have I think it should be enough to make you understand that the possibility of defeat will always be part of the game until whenever you are involved.

My advice now is to try to busy yourself with various other activities that you have, or maybe adding new activities is also better, the goal is to divert your mind from gambling or from previous defeats that you have experienced.
