Between online gambling and on-land which one has made more addicts

[Baofeng]

For me I think online gambling has more addicts or users itself because it's accessible. I know some individuals who I've tried to convince to go with me and play on traditional based but they refuse. I'm seeing that they are not that confident to go inside because they think that only rich people gamble.

But in the last 3-4 months, I'm seen then playing online, become addicted and losing money like everyday. Small amounts maybe just $10-$20 but still if you are going to compute it, gonna be big for one month. And this is not just one person in our neighborhood, more like 10+ people are now playing online which I didn't think that they will do.

That sounds concerning. Why did they suddenly gamble online though? I find it hard to believe that many people continue to play the same game if no one ever wins. Did any of them win a jackpot? Do they simply enjoy the thrill of betting? I remember reading a case where a group of friends became addicted to online gacha games because one of them shared the game and most of them enjoyed it. The thrill of pulling new characters is so addictive that they start playing more and more gacha games (including spending money on every one of them). It is crazy to see how easy it is for a group of people to fall for addiction just because of a common interest.

There are many many explanations why the interpersonal aspect of land-based casinos may contribute to gambling addiction. For starters, many casinos are meant to be lively and entertaining, complete with lighting up, loud music, and various other senses of stimulation. This can induce excitement and anticipation, which can be addicting. Second, the social aspect of casinos can make consumers feel like they are part of a neighborhood, making them feel more connected to the gambling experience. Finally, the presence of other people in the casino may normalize gambling, making it appear to be an everyday occurrence.

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?

Well to be honest, I don't think there is any real data to evaluate such matter but if am to drop my own personal opinion then I would definitely say that online gambling casino for sure have more addicts than the land base casinos. My reasons of saying this are quite simple though because online gamblers are way too free and have access to almost every fucking games and things that could possibly make a gambler turn addict, I mean someone gambling online and easily wake up even late at night and decides to entertain himself by playing gambling on online, I mean how hard is it? Feel bored you fund, wake up at night you fund, even when you don't have intensions of gambling and doing other things online something might catch your eyes like an advert on gambling or something and the next thing you fund so I feel online gambling is definitely more exposed housing more addicts.

I think this has been discussed and n bitcointalk forum.

It has been discussed even here but from the fun part:
offline and online gambling which is best?

Offline casinos are just as tricky.
I know pretty well people who said they will not gamble anymore, have nothing to do, and just go there to chat with friends, maybe drink something, they claim they will not put in one penny and by the end of the night, they have again lost everything. They both have weak points for addicted gamblers, for online is availability all the time, and offline is the atmosphere that gets them, so in both cases works like this:
- I'm bored, nothing to do, I'll just deposit 10$ on this online casino and that's it for the day
- I'm bored, alone, nothing to do, I'll just drop by the casino to talk and watch the people play, only this $100 bill in my pocket for emergencies

Both have different approach , On land gambling place offers many amenities Like great ambiance , beautiful people that you can interact and of course free drinks that you can take the whole night.

while Online casino gives us comfort in terms of hassle free and you can do wherever you are.

so this is depending in the involve gambler in which he is comforting.

Obviously, the Online casinos. And to understand this you have to go back not long ago to the corona pandemic period. Due to this Covid-19 pandemic, the rate of online casino usage has increased more than before. Along with that, the number of new online-casinos has also increased a lot. Online-casino has its advantages as well as its disadvantages. As such we get accessibility very easily as well as privacy. On the other hand, it is not possible in physical casinos. And this is basically the downside of Online-casino due to easy accessibility, the number of under-aged people is increasing here and they are also getting addicted to it, which is taking a terrible form day by day.

I would agree with you that online forms of gambling may now be producing more addicts compared to non-online ones. With the use of apps, everything can be done right in your fingertips so access is all open 24/7 and the only limit would be the amount that you can spend...or with some addicts the limit can be the money they can borrow from family, friends, relatives and even neighbors. Although I don't have statistics backing up my claim here, I am basing it with my personal observations. With online gambling, the market is now getting younger as we know that older people still prefer face-to-face gambling types. And what we are seeing these days can just be the tip of the iceberg as certainly more and more people will be ensnared by gambling and that promise of winning something big.

I would say base on the accessibility and also the availability of gambling, its online casinos/gambling.
We are on the generation were such things are easy to access and the ways of cashing in and out is also easy.
And to think, the ways when you go to a conventional gambling spot or casino is way more hassle than just accessing gambling site or apps on your phone.
From there no matter, what is your walk in life. online gambling is can be accessed and on that it is easy to say that it made more gambling addicts or players in comparison with the conventional one.

I think online gambling has made more addicts than on-land gambling, because of technology advancement. People now gamble with their phones, laptops, and other electronic computers, anywhere and anytime.
In on-land gambling, two or more people are required, and in most cases, group of people come together to gamble, but in online you just need your electronic device. So many people gamble online mostly which has turn them to gambling addicts.

Online gambling should have more addicted gamblers than offline gambling. The reason why I said this, is because, we are in the days that technology have taken over most of the things we do. The youths gamble more than the elderly ones, and every day new youths enters into the gambling world. It is very easy to access an online casino than an offline casino because with your Android phone and internet, you can gamble wherever you are in the presence of anyone with your phone. Why an onland based casino, you need to walk or drive down to the casino, which needs planning. I can wake up in the middle of the night and start gambling with my phone, but I cannot wake up in the middle of the night and start going to the casino, when I didn't plan for it. The advance people uses the onland casino more, not youths.

I think you're right, online gambling is much easier for anyone to access and that's why it could attract many players and when those players find it enjoyable and continue placing bets without any limitations, they start getting addicted to it.

In offline gambling it's not easy for everyone to go to casinos and place bets so many times per day. That's why I also believe that online gambling can create many gambling addicts than offline gambling.

It depends on the era we live in and what’s more trendy in that time, because years ago casino gambling was known to be always full and crowded having multiple people there frequently who went there many times obviously.
However nowadays, with the internet that gives the easiest access and various opportunities, we can see that the rate of gamblers have raised enormously due to its facilities. Online gambling has more reasons to be more addictive than traditional gambling because it is available all the time, we can just take example of the number of casino sites and platforms that offer many attractive and tempting opportunities for us to be easily triggered and try our luck.

It's the way online gambling has been proliferated or promoted in our country, we have our e-wallets and you can simply go to it and connect your e-wallets to a gambling site and then boom, everyone in the street is playing slots or even card cards.

I know it's concerning, but our government seems allowing it. Some of them win big, some of them are in the losing streak. Typical gambling results. There were days that I will here stories that someone won 6 digits in local currency or almost $2,000 or even higher. And I guess if you wanted to be in a group, there is still peer pressure if we gets old.

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.

It is noted that privacy serves everyone better so online gambling which grants private accesses to gamblers while gambling is more addictive than the physical gambling.

Just as you you mentioned paying of transportation to the gambling stations, so also the queuing inconvenience is also considered including how you can be able to keep your loosing or winning bets on a privacy if the gambler is the shameful type who has wanted to keep his gambling life private.

Considering all the convenience services the online gambling could offer to the gamblers, it is thereby believed that it is the more addicted gamblers could be with the prio that they could do every of their gambling untraceable by audience and also having the self service.
