[Lida93]

I was just contemplating on this lately and I was like maybe it should be online casino since it's easily accessible anywhere we find ourselves with internet.

Now this was what I was contemplating on; between online casinos/gambling sites and on-land casinos which among the two do you think has made more gambling addicts than the other and why?

Online gambling does not necessarily require physical presence, gambling can only be participated online through special websites.  If physical presence was required, there would certainly be a supply of illicit substances like alcohol, marijuana, cigarettes, opium, etc., and people would become more addicted by consuming them.
So offline gambling is more guaranteed to get addicted and there are many other bad things done like physical damage as well as mental and environmental pollution by consuming physically addictive things.  So I see a possible reason for being more addicted to offline gambling than online gambling for now.

The onland casino I think has made more gamble addicts. From my point of view, I will be using this part of the world where I am from as a case study. It's true that the online casino is very easier to navigate but one thing you should know is that the online casino is prevalent in nations that are technologically advanced compared to the third world countries. So therefore, in my country, gamblers prefers to go to the casino houses to gamble because they feel that is very easy for them to access and mind you, not all gamblers in my country are conversant or familiar with internet or to talk of using a sophisticated tech phone for gambling. They prefer the where they could meet up with other gamblers to share ideas and enteract with each other before they think of gaming.
Although there are some gamblers who are technologically inclined, they do gamble with their phones but you barely see then doing so because it is all about convenience and self discipline. So they would rather gamble within their confine without anybody noticing that they are gambling and you never can tell if they gamble or not because it doesn't reflect on their personality compared to those who go to the casino or gambling house to gamble.
So therefore, it is possible that the onland gamblers  has more addicted gamblers than the online gamblers based on my analysis. This is an open argument and everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion.

I think this has been discussed and n bitcointalk forum. The way the physical gambling halls are full with gamblers these days is amazing oh. Some of them full with those boys morning till night. But even at that, it is the online still dominate with gamblers because they can always access the website with mobile phones and laptop at all time without paying transport from one place to another buy in some physical casino Halls, gamblers used to pay transport to go and play games and return home. Therefore, online casinos have the highest addiction of gamblers.

I think this is subjective to individual. Today, we now have internet which has made life pretty fast and easy to navigate. Almost everyone has a mobile phone and a data subscription are cheap to afford this days and because the internet is addicting, people can easily stay online on gambling platform than the physical gambling platforms.

However, internet service providers are not available in some places like the rural areas, it will be difficult for people in such kind of area to gamble with the internet in such kind of area, this is why I said individuality is different when it comes to gambling addiction.

There are no numbers though that can back up any of our assumptions here. We can go and visit a lot of traditional based or land based casinos and say, oh there are a lot of gamblers and maybe they are way more addicts that online gamblers.

But how many online gaming platforms we have right now? Just talking about crypto based platforms? And most of them platforms, we don't know how many are in a daily or monthly playing there.

The only clear thing is that gambling is a billion dollar industry, fiat and crypto based or online and traditional based.

If it is not online, you will think about the people around you and you can not access the game at anytime that you want. The time you will gamble online will be more than the time you will gamble if it is not online. You will be concerned about people not to think that you are foolish, unlike online. Online gamblers are more of addicts than those that are not online gamblers. Online gamblers can even access the gambling site at anytime even at night when people are sleeping.

In my opinion, it is very easy to get addicted in gambling when you gamble online than it is with offline gambling. As you have noted the ease of accessibility and convenience makes this possible. With online gambling, a gambler can gamble anywhere and at any time even at work, school, workship centres, and even on the way. I remember the first time I started online gambling, I lost control because at every point I desired to gamble. I am a sports bettor and so whenever I have a spoiler I easily open my betting App to rebet which is different from offline gambling since whenever my ticket runs till the evening hours before having a spoiler I don’t rebet games because most shops in my area closes by 7pm and after this time you have to wait till the next day to place a bet. This indirectly controlled the rate of gambling in this area because even when you desire to gamble more, once it is 7pm the betting shops closes and that saves you your money and time without making it obvious to you.

Since this is the practice in my area, it has made it difficult for people to gamble nonstop and due to this fact most gamblers in my area have resorted into gambling online to avoid limitations in their gambling. Now, most of the gamblers are addicted because they fund their accounts anytime and stake games anytime and now the area is filled with stories of parents complaining about their sons mismanaging their money not knowing that those funds were used for gambling. The rate at which people sell their properties to gamble is also alarming. Another reason for this is that others cannot observe your rate of gambling when you gamble online and this have made people gamble the more. I have a friend that always gamble with huge amount of money and so whenever he goes to a betting shop he will hide his stake so that others will not know the amount he is using to gamble just to prevent them from talking and other times he will stake with a lesser amount against his will just so he can avoid criticisms but now that he gambles online he stake whatever amount he feels like without having to worry about what people will say since no one sees how much he gambles. Sadly, he is not addicted to gambling and can lie to anyone just to get money to gamble.

~ which among the two do you think has made more gambling addicts than the other and why?

What's the timeline? You have to be more specific to the year as point of comparison. Without that, I pick the land-based because its legalization were years ahead of online casinos. Therefore, more people have already walked through their doors.

Today, online gambling and porn addiction are the fastest growing addictions. In comparison online gambling is much more addictive because people have access 24/7/365. They can play from anywhere, they don't need to travel. Even if you exclude yourself from one room, you can quickly find another room to gamble in.

What's the timeline? You have to be more specific to the year as point of comparison. Without that, I pick the land-based because its legalization were years ahead of online casinos. Therefore, more people have already walked through their doors.

But we are not going to compare gambling in the 18th century with now. The comparison has to be made in a time frame that coincides, otherwise we are comparing apples and pears.

I'd like to think online because of accessibility, but every time I walk around I see a lot of long lines of people in lottery outlets now I'm sure the majority of those who are online are not playing online because they are average bettors and minimum wage earners and not likely to pay online this is based on what I see here in our country.

So since there are no exact figures, we can only base our answers on our experience and our observation of our location, and here in our country physical betting platforms like the lottery and horse racing are very popular with the masses.

Online casino definitely does because you would always have the time at your desires to bet using your mobile devices at your comfortability.
Online gambling would give you the chances to game in numbers as much as you can without a break of excuses.
On the land or physical casinos you would be obstructed and can be delayed when demanding for the casino attendant to attend the o you which the delay can either be of you being in the queue or the casino device is having some operational errors which can be annoying and impatient to hold on to. So you may decide to go home and come back other times but betting with your device with you right at your comfort being, hmm, it would always take grace to over that contestations of being a regular, usual and or an addicted gambler.
Hence it is an online gambling you can always refill your gambling wallets if you have run out of funds just to continue your betting and if time is not taking you could run a bankrupt while on the online casino gambling.
So I am on the take that online casino gambling has more addicted gamblers than the facial or physical gambling casinos.

Definitely as to whether online gambling or on land gambling is more likely to lead. Most studies had discovered that the accessibility and anonymity of online  gambling can make it more addictive, others have found that the presence of physical casino and the social atmosphere can make on land gambling more addictive. You most remember that both online and on land gambling can be addicted. It can have a negative consequences for individual and their families.

It's really hard to determine that information, but I think it's online.

We can consider the time when there's no pandemic yet, a lot of people are getting addicted to playing in physical casinos. This is the time when there are no online casinos yet and the use of online casinos was not globally found.

When the time of the pandemic, a lot of online casinos suddenly appeared and became the trend for gamblers and even for non-gamblers to start their addiction as they could gamble even if they were at home. Because of this, a lot of people have also become addicted to gambling and lost their money.

We can say that online have been the cause or made more addicts, gamblers find it more convenient as they can play whenever they want even with their mobile devices.

Every form of gambling has its own type of addict. Before the online gambling industry started dominating places, there were active traditional ways of gambling that people enjoyed, and most people who couldn't get themselves together ended up getting addicted. 
 
The same thing is applicable to those who are also active users of online casinos. The fun and pleasure they derive from it while playing from the comfort of their homes always leads them to get too attached to the game.
 
Both forms of gambling produce different kinds of addicted gamblers, but in today's society, we might likely see more of those gambling addicts who play in traditional gambling houses because they are physically seen going to the gambling house almost all the time.
