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?

This is a common or a frequently asked question during this pandemic. And the answer is always simple, do other mediums. There are a lot of ways to play casino-like games and simulations, and even you smartphone can play casino/poker with a real life money betting involved. There are numerous simulations of casinos and gambling that whenever you searched for gambling or casino in any SEOs, there will always be an advertisement that offers an online platform. Addiction isn't simply on the physical one, it is also addiction to the satisfaction those Gambling addicts feel every time they play.

If they can reflect and they can ask for help from family and professional there is a good chance that they will become a reform gambler, but if they just busy themselves to gaming or whatever, the urge to gamble will be back once the casinos open, cutting them from gambling is a good way to stop gambling but without further help from professional it's going to be useless.

Either stop or continue.

Stop - gambling addicts can stop gambling for a moment and spend their time to other things like their family etc. but they are an addicted ones. Addicted ones doesn't stop gambling in an instant. It will took a long time for them to stop unless they can control themselves even they are addicted into gambling.

Continue - I'm afraid that they will still continue to gamble online thru online gambling sites. I can't blame them if that is what they want but if you really want to gamble in times of crisis, make sure that it is spare money and will not affect somebody if it loses (which is most of the time happens).

That isn't a practical way of spending your money while in the midst of crisis, and I recommend to those gamblers like me to minimize their gambling activities even if it's virtual online betting. Though it's not that involving huge amout of money, but the possibility of being addicted is always prone to happen always.

It is either they take this chance as a step on stopping or avoiding gambling, consider home quarantine as a rehab, or they switch to online casinos as an alternative. No one knows how long the pandemic will last and people are forced to stay at home to avoid the spread. This will be difficult but I hope this pandemic will somehow be beneficial to those who are suffering from addiction.

Will they do their own therapy to eliminate gambling addiction when quarantine, it is difficult to stop gambling because they remain online gambling as an alternative. But if you recover from gambling addicts, take advantage of quarantine time for your family because every moment will be very valuable later.

It wil be difficult for those who physically wants to be present to play the game for those addicted individuals as they can to get the same feeling online and may just not even play that way . But yes those who want to get rid this is the best time one can utilise for and have some quality time send with their family and speak to friends.

If he really want gambling out of his system, he seriously need to talk with his family members. He needs full support from his family as sometimes you can't do it alone. With the family supporting you, they will be aware of things of not to do and give activities that will make you stay away as much as possible from any gambling activity. It would be hard but I think this time is really good opportunity to address this if the gambler is sincere in changing his lifestyle..The family is not busy with their own things as all of you are in quarantine.

There's no need to be upset

one thing is for sure:
the online cassinos will have much bigger profits because of quarantines worldwide.

I'd say:
even though we may be locked at our homes, this is no excuse to stop exercising,moving, studying and improving ourselves.

For gambling addicts, I'm sure they will find a way to continue their addiction, be it online casino, or fly by night tournaments. But for some casuals gamblers, I will definitely think that they won't risk and will simply stop until everything subsides.

They can still also go online, but then again, we all know that we need to prioritized at this time. So for average gamblers, they can simply quit, simply as that. Or even play with their friends and families in this lock down and can still enjoy it without any big money involved.

I agree,

It depends on the addiction level of the gambler of what they will possibly do right now. Aside from that, I think it depends on the financial status since casual gamblers will think and prioritize their needs instead of burning their money in gambling as of this moment.

Agree, Quarantine will help them to spend some time with their family, but a person who addicts to online gambling will help them gamble without any restrictions. A person who manages both will always live happily with their family, everything is based on the person's attitude how he manages.

Gambling is meant to have fun whenever you want so if someone gambling and also doing all of his activities well then he is example for how a gambler should be but in reality even if people gamble online still they got affected mentally when they lose their money too much which makes them to stay away from anyone even if they are living with their family.

You're right, the current situation with coronavirus shoud become a good lesson for those who have been addicted to gambling for long time. It's a perfect moment to reconsider your life goals and try to recover from addiction or at least reduce time which you usually spend playing casinos. During hard times it is important to better manage your spendings, focus on people you care, may be start reading books about bitcoin and blockchain. In my opinion, it might work for some people who still addicted and don't know how to deal with quarantine time, which is, by the way, going to be very long.

Either they will stop temporarily or they will find a way just to gamble.

An addicted gambler will always find a way to gamble even though there is a problem like this that casinos are already closed. One way for them to satisfy themselves is thru online gambling. Online gambling have increased their revenue already because of the casinos that were closed because of the virus. Some of the gamblers spend their time gambling online and chatting with other people.

On the other hand, the gambler can stop gambling temporarily and focus his attention to his family or other things like learning other things or playing video games maybe or watching anime. This also helps the gambler to reduce his addiction to gambling and maybe it can be a way for him to stop gambling at all.

Definitely they will find another way to gamble since stopping is not considered as an option for them because of addiction. If this quarantine will stay longer and those gambling addicts have no choice but to stay home, it might help them to recover and discover some other recreational things that might benefit their health status. Family bonding is also an option, recovery is fast when those loved ones are there for you to support and making happy moments with them.

I play video games also but obviously it requires also self-control and discipline 'cause maybe he became a video game addict from a gambling addict.

When the coronavirus spreads throughout the world. Many countries has an order to have a community lock down with has a greater number of infected person, that’s why many businesses and any entertainment places are closed temporarily. The good essence of this lock down is to have bonding with your family and have a strong faith to God that this crisis will end up soon. Many gamblers are using their time with family and to have bonding with each other, because as we all know that we are all a busy person that’s why we forget to have bonding with our families. It’s a perfect moment to use our time now to have bonding with our family.

You forget the most important reason for this lockdown.

The whole reason for this lockdown is to contain the virus and lessen the casualties. Having those long time bonding with your family is just the effect of this lockdown. It is true though that we should use our time to bond with our family, also because of this pandemic, Mother Nature is regenerating bringing positive results throughout the lockdown.

some just only focus in one game, and if they have been gambling in physical casinos all their life, they might not be able to enjoy online gambling casino

So far, I never read a theory if a person can only focus on 1 game. Everybody is possible to play another game and focus on multi-games. So, a gambler surely has a chance to enjoy online gambling besides physical gambling.

Quote from: Kasabus on April 03, 2020, 01:12:28 AM

not everyone are really educated on how to use an online gambling casino, some would not trust it and some are not open to learn online gambling.

If you said some, it means some other are possible to learn online gamblings. However, I didn't find out research stated: "physical gamblers dislike online gambling". I'm pretty sure that now is the right time for those physical gamblers try to learn online gambling.

Quote from: Kasabus on April 03, 2020, 01:12:28 AM

For me, if a person is already addicted, I think this situation would help him if he can't find an option to gamble.

I doubt they don't have an option to gamble. There are many things to be an alternative as a gambling game in this situation. Moreover, online gambling is absolutely a true option for addicts to stay in their habits.

As an addict, you either atop to gamble or increase your addiction along the line. Gamblers are quite greedy when it come to money online or when their is tendency of doubling money. The closure of these casinos will actually divert the attentions of these sect to a different thing entirely, like gambling in the neighborhood with co-gamblers. This has happened in our neighborhood several time and still happening. An addict gambler is a gambler and will do anything to satisfy their conscience. They always found a way out of their boredom around the industry.

The logic is to spend time in casinos but the physical casinos are better choice for gambling addicters compared to the online casinos. The BTC and crypto based gambling websites provide a alternative for addciters who will not refuse to take chance of enjoying spent time in slots. The gambler can use both real money in the physical casinos and the digital money in the blockchain based casinos depending on the preference.

Offline casinos are indeed bringing a lot of emotions and they are fun to play in. When epidemia is over and physical casinos are back to work, gamblers will continue to be addicted to them. Naturally, the gambling addiction won't fade because of closing of casinos. That's for sure. The main thing here that theirs switching to online gambling is going to help adoption of cryptocurrency and bitcoin gambling to spread even more. No one can restrain deposits with crypto. Meanwhile, banking transaction may be stopped or be controlled during pandemic to prevent some unnatural activity.
