As long as they have internet and basic surfing knowledge they can/will gamble as before but only casinos seems operating at the moment since sport events are getting cancelled and postponed due to the corona.Casino game lovers will always win maybe not the money but the enjoyment. Cheesy

The chance for the esports to shine maybe?

Most of the majors and minors are usually done on LAN and right now with the pandemic that is happening, tournaments are cancelled, postponed and delayed. No idea about those minors and majors being played online but right now, that is the only place you can do sports betting. Other than that? I guess Dice games and other popular games.

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?

If those gambling addicts cannot adjust to online gambling, then this is good for them. They will certainly be rehabilitated from their addiction because of the current development. If they will shift to online gambling because of the closed physical casinos and other policies pertaining to the containment of the virus and they love it, their addiction will not in any way be cured. I am hoping for the former, of course. These quarantine or lockdown days are better spent bonding with family.

The only solution is e-gambling. Due to the pandemic, most establishments had closed down, which includes casinos. E-gambling will be a temporary safe haven for gamblers since most countries are on lockdown, most people are forced to stay at home.

Quote

They will still grab the chances whether it's online or the traditional way.

Organizing traditional gambling secretly will only put gamblers at risk. If I were a gambling addict I would not risk gambling secretly meeting with other gamblers to satisfy my crave for gambling.

People who are addicted to gambling will always find ways to gamble and play.

It is true, they won't stop suddenly as they are already addicted. Yes, there are two options that they can do, playing a simple fun home gambling with family members or playing online gambling/casino with others. Those are not bad options and seem to require small funds or even no funds to play.

Quote from: Genemind on March 27, 2020, 06:36:26 PM

However, a wise gambler who knows how to control himself will choose to stay indoors during this kind of pandemic situation.

Of course, only stupid gamblers who go outside to play gambling and risk their family members at home. Remember that when we go outside, we are potentially infected by the virus. Once the gamblers go back home, the virus can be transmitted to other family members.

They will always find ways. Gamblers always be a gambler. For example here in our country, the cockfighting area already temporarily suspended by the government but people still find ways to organize illegal or secret cockfighting. And the worst here, they can broadcast it live so some online cockfighting can also benefit it and cater to some online gamblers on their website.

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.

People who are addicted to gambling will always find ways to gamble and play. They will still grab the chances whether it's online or the traditional way. Gambling addicts will still pursue gambling in their own ways even without the presence of casinos especially with the help of the latest technology. However, a wise gambler who knows how to control himself will choose to stay indoors during this kind of pandemic situation.

Is this even a question from the start?

Gamblers can always find a way to fulfill their addiction. Gambling is not limited only at playing casinos, there are other ways. For what specific things they will gamble no one knows or maybe seek an answer from a gambling addict itself.

And if it's really not possible to gamble, then definitely they will switch their activity into something that can cover the enjoyment they feel whenever they gamble.

I think gambling addicts now have a golden opportunity to tackle the addiction to gambling.
They now have the time (isolation) and the choice (not much games to gamble) to decide and overcome the addiction emotionally.

Addicts just need to set their mind to freedom, and addiction will be a thing of the past.

They won't get cured of their gambling addiction automatically. They will find their ways to quench thirst for their gambling addiction. Eventually they will temporarily move to online gambling. Though I doubt they will be able to use crypto currencies to gamble on random online crypto casinos due to legal issues. But yeah, there are lots of licensed and legal online gambling casino where people get gamble using fiat currency. High chances they will be playing over there.

Definitely they will go into online gambling, very simple.

They will still find a way to gamble since they're addicted to it.

Or maybe they will take this quarantine or lockdown as a healing process for gambling addiction, that might be good since gambling addiction can really destroy your life. Especially when you're still gambling with other people now because you're an addict and get contacted with a COVID-19, you'll just die.

Since that every casino is temporarily closed in every country that is affected by the pandemic of corona virus, i think the things that gamblers do to keep them busy is playing online games or in online casino, and spending more time with their families because it is the best chance to have more closure with your loved ones.

Nothing can be done for a while. Casino venues are all closed, until no specified time, day by day the worse what happened so far everyone thought of their own destiny to prevent and avoid the virus.

However, for the time being there is still online gambling that can be played and bet on, besides sports, such as dice, poker etc.
That's what is currently still accessible in gambling, I personally don't know for sure the casino is currently closed and when it will reopen.

everyone can only hope that in the future everything will improve and the casino can be back to normal for addicts.

It depends on the country of the gambler if they on lock down they have no way but to play cards with their family but of course there is no money involved, or they have an option to play online but at this point of times where we are in a big crisis we should spend more time with our family or get updates on what's happening around the globe and check the latest developments.

2 situations.

1. They will not gamble for months since they can't gamble to a casino. Instead of thinking of a way to gamble, they will spend their time with their families or playing online games. In this way, the gambler will save some of his money and he can be use it in buying anything they need instead of using it on gambling. I would choose this if I'm a gambler in a casino.

2. Gambling online. They can't helped themselves and they will find a way to gamble and online gambling is what they see. Instead of stopping for the meantime, they will still gamble. Instead of spending time with their families, they choose to spend their time on front of a computer while gambling.

Nr. 1 is very unlikely if we are talking about addicts here I think Wink

Nr. 2 is by far more likely, its very easy to get an account set up at an online gambling site and play.

What has become a real problem is sports betting. You simply can't bet on sports events nowadays due to the fact that any major sport and any major league has stopped match operations. The only available betting options for me are esports, but that is definitely not appropriate for everyone Wink

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.

Beginners are very greedy and they are the one who are most prone of being addicted to it. Well, every gamblers came to the part when they enjoy playing gambling as they think that it will be a good source of income. Everyone experiences being interested to gamble any time they want because most of the beginners are experiencing "beginners luck". After they suffer from a huge loss, that's the time that they will reflect and understand the reality of gambling. The reality where gambling is just for an entertainment purposes and shouldn't be taken as a profession or job. This crisis will let them think and realize the true effect of gambling in their money, and this is also the chance for them to stop and focus more on other valuable things other than gambling such as spending time with family, watching movies, investing for a business and etc. If you really want to gamble and you can control yourself, you already practice your self-discipline, you can limit the money that you will spend, that is favorable and you can try playing online gambling casinos moderately.

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.

Online gambling still open and those gambling addicted person will adopt this kind of services since they've got urgency of playing.
Inside their mindset the will to continue playing and the desire of trying play can't be changed by anything, if there's still available
channels then they will proceed and start playing.

This is not how to cure gambling in fact they will only yearn for it and they will find a way, only a proffesional help can help a gambler to change their way.

They will comeback there as quick as possible. They will miss the ambiance of the casino and that's for sure or whatever their favorite designation there. No need to think about what they should do at these times because it's been said that they shall stay at home.

Somehow if the others want to quit but as usual, we know that once a gambler will remain as it is.
