Topic: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? - page 16. (Read 2966 times)

Online casinos produce a high number of addicted players compared to physical casino, yes. Because of the restrictive measures put aside for the gambling age and who should gamble or not, then the time frame also helps players to moderate how they gamble. Moving from one location to gamble, helps the brain to remember when the time is late for the gambler to go home and sleep. The online setting doesn't have some of these restrictions available, anybody can gamble whenever they want and wouldn't bother about time. Even the younger players who are below eighteen sometimes boycott the rule by using their elder sibling's document as KYC. The naive nature of younger gamblers to make quick money wouldn't allow them the privilege to control themselves, as they'll be chasing big wins. Some of them go for loans, and don't know how they do it, but most news channels in Australia prove it right about young teenagers gambling with loans and putting themselves into big trouble that could be risking their physical or mental health.

Moreover, the use of the Internet is spreading too fast amongst teenagers and they can't go a day without visiting their gadgets. Once they discover a good gambling platform online, they won't avoid the site for a single day. In the long run, the players may run out of money, but as you said, Dewi Aries, the lack of money can only help them stop for the moment, yet it changes nothing. They'll still wager more once money is allocated or sent to them by their parents. Offline casinos also have addicted players, but it's somehow regulated for most players who don't feel comfortable with being addicted. They can talk to fellow gambling folk about their problem gambling and could get help or recommendations on how to deal with it. The online players don't have this opportunity, they only suffer in silence and have nobody to run to for help. Instead, when with friends or loved ones, they try to cover it up and claim everything is alright with them.

Everyone has their own chance of turning someone into a gambler who is addicted to gambling, especially if that person does not have good self-control while gambling. He will just continue gambling without limits because he has found pleasure in gambling and does not remember when he should stop gambling. Playing gambling requires self-control so someone who wants to gamble should already know how to treat gambling. If you can control yourself well and are not easily tempted to gamble longer than usual, you will not become someone who will become addicted to gambling because you can take care of yourself while gambling. Most people will lose self-control after gambling for some time and they will no longer remember their limits.

I humbly submit that people who are introduced to the new online gambling platform are the ones who are prone to addiction.

Online gambling compared to other types of gambling, like you mentioned, has one (1) distinguishable element that separates it from everything- it is the element of convenience. This factor makes it possible for a person to gamble anywhere and anytime at their convenience. They do not need to enter physical casinos to gamble and they can also do it in a push of a button on their mobile devices.


I recently visited physical casinos due to some theatres being held at their buildings and I have noticed that majority of the players that visited were on the age bracket of 50-80 years old. I have noticed that mostly senior citizens gamble on these physical casinos.

I do think that being technological literate is a factor on this given that most people who are knowledgeable on the internet gamble on their mobile devices.

Yes casino game is more addictive Because here big winning is possible with small bet. so gamblers always attract in casilo game. another reason for addiction in casino game is quick result. in the sportsbet you have to wait till end the match for get winning or lossing status. that's why casino game has more fun and addiction. specially orginal game and slots are much addictive. so in all sector of gambling you have to control yourself to avoid addiction

Honestly speaking all gambling has their own addicts who are very irresponsible in their gambling, and I believe gambling addiction is a self decision. However the disadvantage of casino in house gambling is that while gambling you might be there all by yourself and no one might be able to advise you on quitting, though you can also go in with very little amount and still have a long day of gambling experience. and casino gambling also offers gamblers the opportunity of winning a jackpot. Then on the other hand, one on one player gambling seem more like the rich men gambling so higher stakes are made and most of them knows when to quit after all, they can even go into the gambling hall with some of their associates, and can be advised when to withdraw from the game. So it a bit hard to tell where more of the gambling addict arise from in both type of gambling.

Gambling is more accessible and is widely promoted nowadays; most social media sites, such as Facebook or Instagram, promote online casinos (not cryptocurrency ones), but casinos nonetheless. On top of that, it's not only influencers but also people who promote themselves as so-called masters of sports betting with their prediction groups that are being promoted on every social media platform available, often portraying large amounts of money as part of their winnings, promising to teach you all the tricks to win and promising extravagant yields in return for a "small" subscription or entrance fee. These are the worst and lure beginners into thinking that there's money to be made through gambling, without taking into account how risky that is.

As I said earlier it depends on where you live. For those who do not have a license to hold land-based casinos, online gambling is definitely a very good alternative regardless of whether the promotion is on social media or the meta which is currently busy, it is actually not a problem for them because it is done as a form of promotion and the meta has also begun to limit it even though not all can be controlled.
Regardless of whether it is appropriate or not for the reason that children play meta actually it is also not to blame because apart from Meta who still cannot strictly limit the current children are also not in the right position when talking about meta because social media like this is not too suitable for children at an immature age and parents should be able to limit children so that they are not too in a situation that makes them mature prematurely.
We can't control some of the sites that promote on social media but we can control and limit our children by doing things that are more useful than just surfing on social media.
For us it is not a problem but for the children who should not be there it will definitely give problems.

Of course, you are stating a fact that is really happening, gambling addiction is increasingly rampant due to the increasing popularity of online gambling promotions and what is usually more popular with newcomers is slot games which are very easy to play and also easy to understand even even by ordinary people, on the other hand it is clear that online based gambling is more popular with the audience compared to physical gambling, ease of access is one of the advantages they have and also of course by getting involved in online based gambling it is clear that people can gamble wherever and whenever they want.

To be honest, lately I have often seen several influencers or content creators who of course have a lot of followers who promote on several social media, not only on Facebook but we can also find quite a few other platforms, such as perhaps on YouTube. I agree to say that that is one of the biggest causes of more and more people getting involved in gambling and getting into the addiction zone and getting into a lot of problems. So that's what is really worrying, I think almost 90% of people now have an account on the Facebook platform, there is no age limit and even children who are much younger are already involved in the platform. I think it is quite difficult and complicated to solve promotional problems like this unless the government is really firm in limiting or even eliminating gambling promotions on the Facebook application for the sake of the future of minors.

Honestly speaking, in this era, more people have become addicted to gambling online than offline. And one of the reasons why the percentage of gamblers has increased is because of the promotion of influencers on Facebook.

The only thing that doesn't look good is that the platform used to promote gambling is not right because on Facebook many minors use these apps, so I hope it can be remedied somehow so that it does not affect those who are under the age of majority. child.

I may not know much about slot addiction but it is very important for us to make sure that we examine ourselves and make sure that anything that is going to affect us as a gambler is well dealt with. Gambling is a good way for us to make money for ourselves especially taking care of our bills. Once we know what we are doing, it is good for us to stay cool and make sure we go fully and use the fund that we know we can afford to lose and use to get. Since everything about gambling is very risky, we need to make sure that we bet afford to risk to reward ratio.

You cant really say that on having less addiction but its true on some point that this is something that could compare in speaking about those slots or casino games on which the results were instant and something that could really be so addictive on such manner. Doesnt matter though because everything would really be that depending or would really be according into someones control when it comes to gambling activity because there are people who are really that impulsive when it comes to gambling dealing and there are ones who are really that mindful about on the things that they've been doing.
As long you do know on how to handle yourself when it comes to your money spending then everything would really be just that fine. There are really just those moments that you do become
that impulsive which is inevitable.

It seems to me that card games have the least ability to cause addiction among players. Poker is a game that is often played not even for money, but what if the player decided to play not for money in slots or betting? They wouldn't be interesting! This means that cards are a really good and interesting game that generates excitement even without money. But addiction, I mean a disease where a person gives money away from everyone, occurs precisely when monetary stakes are involved in the game. For some reason, it seems to me that slots have a rather detrimental effect and are difficult to resist.
Slots are an excellent anti-stress and it is very easy to get attached to this type of gambling, because it does not require any skills. You just need to spin the slots and wait for a miracle.

In my opinion, a lot of gamblers become addicted to in-house gambling since, aside from being simply accessible, you can find a match that you are capable of playing there.

In my country, in-house gambling is highly common because it can be done in any place as long as it's a secluded area or you may decide where you feel comfortable enough to gamble. One of our traditional games specifically card games that you can find anywhere in the house is card games like poker, tong-its, etc. Especially if someone has passed away and before their burial, there is a vigil where people are supposed to stay wide awake and play card games to keep themselves from getting bored or falling asleep.

Returning to the topic, there are a lot of things that happen when gamblers can partake in in-house gaming, particularly if they are hanging out with friends or coworkers and simply want to have a good time. Of course, the atmosphere surrounding you and the opportunity to socialize with a variety of people who may become partners in the game would entice you to gamble internally.

I can't say specifically on the kind of gambling sports or games that has more addicts, people are the ones thst got addicted to gambling on different kinds of games or sports, addiction is not embedded in any of them but people make the decision of getting addicted from how the have mutual feelings on gambling and how they were being able to conduct themselves into living a disciplined lifestyle while gambling.

Well I also see the same part here, now the times are very developed and everything is sophisticated, and of course for problems in the world of gambling as you say that people no longer need to go to a physical casino which of course requires the intention to go and also requires travel costs such as fuel and take the right time in the midst of their busy activities, with the development of increasingly modern times it is clear that everything is easier to do, not only online-based casinos but also several other things such as platforms that make it easier for people to shop easily and quickly have sprung up and we are familiar with it.

Of course this situation is the cause of more gamblers entering and being trapped in the addiction zone because they can come whenever they want by just using the gadget they have which is of course connected to the internet network, running out of budget is not a problem because they have plenty of time to go to the ATM machine to deposit the fiat money they have, of course this freedom and convenience is what I think is the main cause of their addiction, but on the other hand not entirely too, because obviously for some people who still have the right point of view about gambling then I think they will not be that easy to get stuck in the addiction cycle, so maybe with all the conveniences that exist in online casinos it is only an indication and possibility for some people to enter the addiction zone.

I've felt that and you're right that it depends of what kind of game we are into.

Slots and dice are addictive and the same goes with plinko. Too many games to say on where can we get addicted but when we're used to repetitive actions as you've said.

It's giving the addicting vibes that you want to gamble with it again but if you're the gambler that easily get bored, then you'll hardly get addicted even if you do something again and again.

There are different categories of gambling but the most addicting of a gambler is playing in casinos. Casino is a very attractive gambling and the more casino a gambler plays the more casino they want to play. People lose the most amount of money in casinos and playing in these casinos attracts many people to gambling. Playing casino usually does not require much knowledge about gambling and anyone can play casino easily and no casino gambling skills are required it is totally up to one's own luck. Depending on one's luck, many people bet with a small amount of money and earn a lot of money, but when he bets with a large amount of money, he loses all his money in an instant. There are many people who have become destitute by playing casinos.

The physical casinos or the land casinos don't have much of addicts, and the limitations are there to make all gambler's actions more senior and moderated than the online casino. A gambler below 18 cannot be allowed to participate in such casinos. Gamblers there may also play with friends and be discouraged not to be playing more than they can afford. Playing slots in the physical casino is also fun, and reduces the rate of addiction compared to online casinos. I noticed that the physical casino despite being filled with all kinds of people, consists of gamblers who tend to help each other, especially in slot games. A player in the next machine may advise another player not to take some predictions. Even though his new friend's advice isn't correct, the discussion helps the gambler to always have a rethink and ask questions before making predictions he's not sure about.

Unlike the online casino, where the gambler online has his gadget as a companion, and won't have anybody to advise him on a specific decision, he'd be playing according to what he feels is right. Thereby risking his chances of controlling himself when wagering too much or spending a long time playing games, exhausted; energetically and financially. While these two types of casinos have their fair share of addicts, it's safe to say that online casinos produce high rates of addicts around society. But some games in the online casino scheme like football or poker can be minimal in getting a gambler addicted like the slot game would, due to the fast outcome of results. And players would want to make quick money. Any game that involves other people like a two or three-man game, doesn't make people addicts. However, anybody can get addicted regardless of the kind of game they play, but to some extent, some criteria like having a second body who advises the player can help in controlling the player's level of making mistakes.

And in reality, those who are often addicted to gambling are from the lower middle class, not the rich. Why is that.? because most of them (lower middle class) think that gambling is not about fun, but about profit. They consider that gambling is a place to change their fate financially. However, when talking about the amount of money, of course a wealthy gambler spends more money than the lower middle class. but that's not what we're talking about.

And speaking of the lower middle class, they very rarely have to carry out gambling activities in conventional casinos, but most of them gamble online or together with their friends. Because if they understand very well, if they go to a conventional casino then they have to bring quite a lot of money. And what's more, when we talk about good money management, most people who are in the lower middle class, they can't manage their finances well.
Meanwhile, people who are rich enough have the ability to do that.

SLOT addiction is quite dangerous, because in this type of gambling almost nothing depends on the person himself. The result is completely determined by the program, the algorithm of which owner can rebuild at any time. Less dangerous are sports betting - here at least something depends on statistics and the person himself
