In my idea/perspective (since I really don't know what a gambling addict will do with this kind of situation) I think they will going to change to online casinos since it's still the same or maybe looking for a game to play with (a computer game or something) as long as they are not concern about winning a profit but if they do concern about a profit then I really do think the last thing they can go is through online gambling casinos.

Uhm do something else? Not like the whole world revolves around gambling tbh, even if you are a gambler. As for the addicted ones, not like they can do anything right? As long as they still have a sane mind, even if they are addicted to gambling, they'd know that there's no way for them to go to casinos at the current situation. Plus, online gambling exists anyway, so it's up to them whether they would go on that platform or not. As for their addiction being cured, it's not a matter of how long you're separated from something, it's a matter of the mind accepting and stuff like that. Just like how Smokers cure themselves, gambling addiction is cured by gradual reduction of playing, not by suddenly stopping it.

I don't know what the gambling addicts do right now because I don't contact my friends who are often playing gambling at the casino. After all, we lived in a different country. But all of my friends who lived in the same city as me don't go anywhere. They stay in their homes while watching television or browse the internet to find the latest news or an update from my government.
Some of my friends still playing online gambling, but they don't spend a long time to gamble because they spend most of their time with their family. Some others are buying electronic products in the online store to be used to kill the boredom. The other people doing their activity in their homes but if they need something to buy, they will go out to buy that thing and come back to their homes as soon as possible. They reduce their time in the public area because they are careful with the social distance that now is applied here.
I only hope that my friends can cure their addicting in these situations because they don't use their time to gamble, and they spend their time with their family. But if they come back again in the casino, then I only can say that they need to be careful and don't get addicted like before.

Most businesses and most addiction are affected from the current situation. This is not a normal drill for anyone. Everyone should stay in home.
Though online gambling is open always and as I've seen, most of the Live online gambling operators are still operating that gives a near to life experience.

As you may know, casinos all over the United States and the world have begun closing their doors to slow down the spread of the Coronavirus. While this has taken a financial toll on casinos, cafes, restaurants and hotels, etc, it has put the kibosh on problem gambling or at least made a serious dent in the lives of hopeless gambling addicts.
What will most gambling addicts do when they can no longer gamble at casinos, and what do you think they'll do when the casinos reopen in several months from now? Will most of them be finally cured of their gambling addiction, or will most of them return to their old ways?
I am not sure if it will cure their gambling addiction as online casinos are always open so they can just shift to online casinos if they like to play aside from land base casinos. But for those gamblers who don't like to play online, they don't have other option but to stop or pause their gambling session so we can say that it can really help them to slowly cure their addiction. What will most gambling addicts do when they can no longer gamble at casinos, and what do you think they'll do when the casinos reopen in several months from now? Will most of them be finally cured of their gambling addiction, or will most of them return to their old ways?
Especially if this scenario will take like 3-6 months, I am pretty sure that their addiction will fade but it will surely resume once the land base casinos will re open again.

They will find other options to satisfy their addictions. Some will use online casinos others will shift to dri king and other stuff. An addiction is addiction you will do something or the other to satisfy it.
Well, some might say this is the best time to lose addiction but, it is the worst time as you might get addicted to other addiction to move your mind from gambling.

If I were to put my shoes in a gambling addict, I would probably have a withdrawal problem and I will be irritated for the time being. But unconsciously, I am thanking about this situation because it helps me rehabilitate.

Why are the OP only focussing on the US while almost all the casinos around the world already banned going to these kinds of places because of the pandemic?
Though it's been more than a week since casinos are closed in our country and we don't have a choice but to work at our homes and obviously, gamble online. To be honest, I am getting sick of working at home and then gamble after that. I am getting tired of it so after working I do some workouts and have some bonding with my family. I still gamble no problem though I am not addicted and I think despite their addicted they are quarantined in their houses right now doing other things than gambling.

What will most gambling addicts do when they can no longer gamble at casinos,
and what do you think they'll do when the casinos reopen in several months from now?
depend on what is the effect of their Quarantine time,maybe some of them will recover from addiction since they can repent or bond with family for this long days. Will most of them be finally cured of their gambling addiction, or will most of them return to their old ways?
\for sure most of them will remain addict or at least gamblers but also there will some that may be cured together with corona virus. March 26, 2020, 08:15:28 PM
You are referring in physical casinos. If those gambling business tend to closed because of this corona virus, there is no choice for them but to take a rest and keep distance in playing. There is a chance that they will manage to lessen their addiction in gambling but I doubt because there is also online gambling existing online that you can still gamble even at home.
Perhaps that is an opportunity for an addictive gambler to spend time with the family when those casinos were closed and has a chance to finally overcome addiction. If of course (they aren't fond of online gambling).

Due to lockdown, most of them would just gamble online as their alternative for their gambling addiction. They can do it as long as you have money at your bank or you have cryptocurrency coins such as Bitcoin, ETH, XRP, and etc. On the other hand since they are a fan of casino games, some of them will just prefer not to find alternatives because it doesn't make them satisfied. Some of them will just prefer to just watch movies/series or play online games.

I'm pretty sure most of them are currently gambling online, at home. So there are very few chances it will cure their gambling addiction, unfortunately What will most gambling addicts do when they can no longer gamble at casinos, and what do you think they'll do when the casinos reopen in several months from now?

So I think they will just continue to gamble like before when they'll come back to brick and mortar casinos.
so for those who dont have net connections, i guess they will be playing cards with their family or any gambling material that they have at home. treatment of gambling addiction depends on the person, if he's not willing to change even with the closure of casinos, he will always find a way how to satisfy his urge to gamble. it is like he's in the withdrawal state in this situation, either he will overcome it or not.

not all casinos are closed but there are still online or you can still play gambling within your place as long as you know that people on your place are virus free so there is no point from stopping them but if ever they only love the traditional way of gambling such as playing on a real life casino that is now close then this event can be a good way to cure thier gambling habbit because of the longer period of lockdowns and quarantine but i expect that some will still be playing again as soon as casinos were open too and will develop an addicting habbit again .

Life moves on. Gambling addiction is not like drug addiction which can be life threateningWe still have online casinos which will most like remain operational even throughout the coronavirus crisis so i don't think Gamblers will not have any alternatives at all

Not exactly the same as your subject but somehow these threads are correlated to that:
Will you gamble right after coronavirus outbreaks?
COVID-19 and its effect in Gambling World
Right time for gambling addicts to come out of addiction?
Corona virus (COVID19) Effect in Cryptocurrency Gambling
Anyone here succeeded a friend to play online gambling now that casino is close
I'm seeing that future responses here might also be the same on some responses at these threads.
I agree, they are related topics so more than likely you can get similar answers from those mentioned threads.
But to answer the OP. I think for those gambling addicts that who are in the elite class, they can always find a way on how to gather with their elite friends and play. But with fear of contracting the virus, they might think twice on doing that. and for those small to medium rollers, if they are playing in physical casino before, now, they might look into online gambling as there are a lot of online sites to choose from. So this pandemic will drive a huge spike in online gambling activities. But for those who can't afford, this will be the time of reflection with their lives and maybe finally quit gambling for the betterment of their own selves.

What they do now?
They maybe stay at home and do some fun online games with others. Or gather and socialize with their family members in a longer time than before. During the Corona pandemic, people must prefer to stay at home and do activities inside. So, gambling addicts are likely to do the same ways as others for now.
Will they finally be cured?
It depends on them and their family's attention. If they realize something better during stopping gambling through the Corona pandemic, then they can be cured. Moreover, if there is support from their family members to exercise them for better habits. It will be very helpful to trigger them to recover.
