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.

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?
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.
-
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.

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.

offline and online gambling which is best? (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=315695.0)

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.

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?
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.
-
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?
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.
You can check this article that gave more explanation on why online gambling can be more addictive: https://www.castlecraig.co.uk/addiction-resources/8-reasons-why-online-gambling-is-more-addictive-than-casino-gambling/

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.

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.
-
Most of my friends who are addicted were gambling offline and became addicted to gambling. One of them was always leaving school to go and gamble. He will be there for hours even when he doesn't have money to gamble again. He will stay there hoping that someone will win and then give him money to gamble. When you gamble in the midst of other gambling, you can easily be pushed by their energy and gamble more than expected.

I think it seems that playing gambling via online is more addictive. Because anyone can really gamble, unlike physical gambling before, which can really be said that only those who have a large amount of money to gamble can enter, then there are memberships that you can easily enter.
Whereas online, even if you are not a vip member, you can deposit and start immediately with an amount of 5-6$ and then there is a bonus of 100% up to 300% bonus on the amount you enter.

Yes mate, I totally agree with your point. Online gambling has more privacy, because these days you can gamble with your phones, laptops and other electronic devices at your own comfort zone in any given period of time...
Online have more addicts these days, and it is more easier.

The fact that online gambling offers privacy and anonymity doesn't mean that people can easily become addicted. It boils down to disciple. When you are disciplined you are disciplined. It is easier to stick to plans when you are not influence. This means that when you gamble online you have no one telling you what to do so you can easily restrain when it's becoming excess. This is not so with offline gambling. In offline gambling you can easily be pushed to gamble because of the success of other gamblers and sometimes you can be pushed by someone to gamble as against your will. An instance will suffice. I went to a betting shop to charge my phone without having the intention to gamble. As I was charging my phone, a saw a guy playing virtual sports betting. In my presence he won a reasonable amount, he played again and won consecutively. I became tempted and played his next game I lost, in an attempt to win back my money I lost everything. Sometimes, factors like this can be the reason someone becomes addicted. Maybe if I was at home I wouldn't have lost since I won't be lured to gamble by anyone due to the fact that I am not seeing the success of other gamblers.

When you gamble amid other gambling, you can easily be pushed by their energy and gamble more than expected.
I can relate to this because I have a guy too who was always going to a betting shop to charge his phone and then he started developing an interest in gambling because sometimes he witnesses people playing and winning. To my greatest surprise, he started gambling. The reason why I was surprised was that he disliked gambling and had tried occasionally to stop me from gambling but I refused and now seeing such a person gambling was surprising.
The only reason he was lured into gambling was because of his frequent exposure to the gambling environment which was made possible by offline gambling shops. If he was charging his phone in a different place other than a betting shop, it would have been difficult for him to be involved in gambling. Now, he hardly goes a day without going to play virtual games. That's simply how addiction starts.

It is a bit ironic that we can view online casino offers more privacy when almost all have some form of KYC/AML system. I guess it is true that your family or friends won't know about your online activity, but the platform and likely others know your e-mail, private activity, etc just because you play a game. While I don't believe this is the key reason for online gambling addiction, I do agree that it might be one of the reasons why online gambling is more popular, especially if you live in an area where it is frowned upon. Hopefully, data protection awareness will help us avoid frequent phishing attacks or database leaks that occasionally happen with companies (although this is not really in our hands).

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?
I think you are right. It might be Internet gambling. It brings the excitement of the casino right into your home, offering a level of convenience and variety that’s hard to match. Also, accessibility, anonymity, 24/7 availability and the immersive digital environment.
-
I think more people are becoming addicted to gambling online now because even if it's a small amount, they can gamble at the casino, unlike before, when they had to commute or take a taxi just to get to the casino. In physical casinos, you must have a membership card called.
Today, even ordinary people can play gambling; even minors can play gambling online because of the encouragement of social media influencers who are ruining the lives of others because of the deception they do that there is nothing to lose when you sign up using the link in the description of their Facebook page or their YouTube account.

Different types would really be having that different set of gamblers or players on which it would really be that something that have a demand. It would really be that totally just that serving out different markets on which it would really be something understandable. As a gambler then it would really be just that depending on you on what you should gonna choose
whether going into physical places and able to met up with those fellow gamblers or would really be staying up into your own home and in front of pc without needing to go out
but still you could really be able to gamble? Of course it would really be just that depending on you because not all would really be that having on the same interest when it comes to various things.

- Online casinos actually make it easier for gamblers to do things. In the online casino, the gambling itself is willing to approach people, injured or not, and can enter their platform.
Where the land-based casino has never done it, and at this point the online casino found the physical casino in the reality that is now happening to other people.

He will be there for hours even when he doesn't have money to gamble again. He will stay there hoping that someone will win and then give him money to gamble. When you gamble in the midst of other gambling, you can easily be pushed by their energy and gamble more than expected.
For me, I think the root to his addiction was because he actually gamble very early and also got the wrong view about it, I can bet that the reason for him vigorously going leaving school to go and bet was all because maybe he had experience a few win once and now still wants to replicate the results and that's ever the cause being addicted to Gambling.

I think online gambling is more addicts than on-land gambling. Basically gambling is an addictive activity. Who involved in gambling anyhow he never come back too early. Both gambling is addictive but i think online gambling is too much addictive then on hand gambling. Because do this activists no need to go another person and anyone can do it hidely. Anyone can play thia gambling in house and alon. I think it is most comfortable. So online gambling is more popular then on hand gambling.

It's true what you say, easy access to gambling is one of the factors why online gambling has a greater potential to make someone addicted. We can play anywhere and anytime without having to step foot into a gambling place.
In fact, both can also cause addiction, but which one has greater potential, maybe the answer is online gambling. This is a normal thing, because it is in our own hands and that is actually the problem.

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?
I think it seems that playing gambling via online is more addictive. Because anyone can really gamble, unlike physical gambling before, which can really be said that only those who have a large amount of money to gamble can enter, then there are memberships that you can easily enter.
Whereas online, even if you are not a vip member, you can deposit and start immediately with an amount of 5-6$ and then there is a bonus of 100% up to 300% bonus on the amount you enter.
When it comes to addiction then it doesnt matter whether online or offline on which each gambler does really have their own preference when it comes to the games that they are preferring on choosing into. We do know that each one of us does have that different interest when it comes to things. Doesnt matter which one of the two on which the probability of getting addicted is there.
There's no way that we could really be able to know on which one does generate tons of addicts because this is something that cant really be known precisely because each gambler could neither be addicted or still that in good control and this is something that cant be known no matter what.

Are you sure? With offline casino, you must find time to visit it, spend time to get there, not every offline casino work 24/7 and offer hundreds of slots and other games. Imo online casinos made more gamblers addicted. Anytime, anywhere, anyone can gamble there. The variety of games online also play a large role. Testing all of them until finding the one that gambler will like also influence on an addiction.
-
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.
You are right. Online gambling is more addictive than the land base gambling due to the convinces to play your game and privately staking without anyone being away or how long you spends while gambling or anyone being aware that you have either lost or win. No one is at your watch and that insightment alone is chronical to inspire a gambler to gamble Irresponsibly while land base gambling is that the gambler can be some times mindful and Concious that people are having interests and keeping on track of how much long and how much they a re gambling so they are kind of excusing the gambling board all to keep some reputable personalities.
So in all being said, online gambling is more of addictive than the land base.
-

Most opinions are right on this it just depends on the perspective from which the person has seen gamblers become more addicts. Online casino is just becoming a new environment for gamblers to explore, on-land casinos have always been in existence, and have been creating gambling addicts for a longer period than the online gambling platforms and casinos.
Gambling on-land is bigger than just the walls of the casino. There is gambling done between friends or members of an age group that can even staking money, those simple games can create a gambling addict.

Online or offline it would really be that totally be the same yet both could really be able to give out that kind of gambling addicts. Numbers cant be known since there's no list or poll in regarding to it but its something that would really be impossible to be known considering that knowing gambling addicts is something that not be known so easily. So there's no point
on trying out to find out on which one. Put up into your mind that gambling industry is really that highly profitable business which do only simply means that
there are tons of people who do make themselves gettting addicted into it.

Most of my friends who are addicted were gambling offline and became addicted to gambling. One of them was always leaving school to go and gamble. He will be there for hours even when he doesn't have money to gamble again. He will stay there hoping that someone will win and then give him money to gamble. When you gamble in the midst of other gambling, you can easily be pushed by their energy and gamble more than expected.
Such friends are in everyone's circle. I had a friend who used to gamble even with the money he didn't eat at school because he was more interested in gambling than eating. Seeing him, other school boys also joined him in the game of gambling and all of them were said to lose every day, even then they did not stop gambling. Gambling is something that can easily influence one person to another, because there is a temptation to earn money easily. But as easy as the thought of earning money easily clicks, earning money from gambling is much more difficult than that.

Every opinion given by the community here gives us ideas and knowledge. Now, about the topic we are talking about here, there are some gamblers who love physical casinos and others who prefer online casinos.
and there are others who have the same passion, that's all. Like me, I'm only interested in casinos online because in land-based casinos it's a bit of a hassle for me because there's still a trip to get there, fuel in the car, and then if you're not careful to drive, you can get into an accident, unlike casinos online, where you're safe at home.

I won't go into talking about someone who left school or skipped school because they went gambling, because in the beginning I also found a lot of school children who skipped going to play on the Playstation. They are willing to spend their money to play PlayStation and they are also willing to leave their studies for the day.
This is one example of why I am not surprised when I see a child who is willing to spend his money on gambling and skipping school. This is a type of juvenile delinquency, but the level is higher than before because it involves gambling.

from one side, online casinos offer opportunities for responsible entertainment and can be a fun, engaging way to pass time, especially for those who are mindful of their habits and can manage their time and finances well. but ofcourse, online casinos might also contribute more to gambling addiction due to their accessibility and convenience. On land casinos, while also addictive, require a physical presence, which might naturally limit the frequency of gambling sessions for some people. Plus, the very act of planning a trip to a casino could serve as a barrier that might prevent spontaneous gambling decisions

that is a common practice from younger people to completely engage ingambling because lets admit than one day in our life we have gambled wrongly (also i am one of those who fell in gambling when in Highschool lol)
admit it that there are so many bad influence when we are young and from school.

Since on-land casinos have been there for a very long time, I should say on-land are the one that produced more gambling addicts, but as the years goes by, more and more online gamblers will be addicted to gambling, and it will surpass on-land casinos.
It's because of the accessibility. We know that not all places have casinos, while we (or at least most of the adults) all have smartphones in our pocket and anytime, we can just access to a gambling casino online. Internet, smartphone, and a bit of capital. That's what you only need to get addicted to gambling. You can also gamble while laying down on your bet. You can gamble even you just woke up from a deep sleep. I mean the access to online gambling is way easier now hence, more gamblers will get addicted.
-
Online based or land based it doesnt matter when it comes to making people gambling addicts. There's no such thing about a poll or surveys on which one generate more addicted people
and we do know that not all would really be t hat kind of showy when it comes to their gambling behavior and keeping it secret. If there are some list or numbers then it wont really be precise
plus also there's no point on knowing on how many gambling addicts that are currently existing but somehow we can really be able to tell that there are tons considering on how big gambling industry is whether offline or online.

admit it that there are so many bad influence when we are young and from school.
I first gambled when I was in college, and I was actually influenced by my friends. I knew nothing about gambling then, he just walked up to me and said he had a fixed game he bought and want to play and asked me to tag along, I wasn't confident about it but his assurance inspired me to participate, so I gave him some money to stake the game for me, and the game turned out pretty fine and I won a good sum of money.
That was my first participation in gambling, and honestly I thought it was that easy, until I started betting myself.

If you are used to gambling with friends then you are more likely to get addicted to on land gambling. If one is used to online gambling then he is more likely to get addicted to online gambling. As online gambling is easily accessible so more and more people will get addicted to it.

in your time now its indeed and also depending in the availability because first ?
- Gambling In physical casino is expensive ..
- Gambling in Physical casino is time spending ..
Whereas online, even if you are not a vip member, you can deposit and start immediately with an amount of 5-6$ and then there is a bonus of 100% up to 300% bonus on the amount you enter.
lol VIP spending 5-6 dollars? looks like impossible to happen .

Obviously, not everyone would be able to showcase their gambling lifestyle for people to easily detect them and see if they are addicted gamblers or not. Some gamblers gamble private on their closest ie for those gambling online and some who gamble offline does that possiblely far away from their living residence which makes it difficult to note but however, people around those land gambling shops would be able to see as they go in and come out of the gambling spots.
Just as you have said about the gambling industry being big and the likely hood of addicted gamblers being huge in numbers, I think this is very true because I believe consistency is a form of call to expansion and growth which means that there is always increase in numbers of gamblers which calls for growth of the casinos both online and land based.

By looking at the current situation, where everything is made easier, online gambling makes people addicted more quickly, where playing online gambling can be played anywhere and anytime, deposits and withdrawals have also been made easier, usually using a funding platform.
This is different from land where we are required to go to a location if we want to play, and this is very risky if there is a gambling raid by the authorities.

it would really be just that according into someones preference if we do speak about choices whether they would really be playing on physical places or would really be that sticking into those physical ones just because you do prefer or simply into its availability. Yes its true that due to the convenience on ableto play gambling through online the it would really be easing up all the hassle on going into physical place but we do know that when it comes to user experience then there would really be that have on huge difference when it comes to this aspect.
About on having that addiction then there would really be no exemption to this one.

From my personal opinion I can say that the attraction towards online gambling is increasing because participating in online gambling is much easier and convenient than participating in offline gambling. So now the young generation has become so interested that there is concern among the younger generations who are currently uneducated.
-
Addiction can be seen anywhere and from any platform, be it physical or online gambling platform, we are the ones that have to control and moderate the ways through which we are gambling by doing the right and appropriate thing for the sake of our own good, gambling addiction is not caused by the kind of platform used, but by the nature of whom we are and how we are able to deal with our own self as some will term it having self control over the ways we gamble or do things in live in other not to get addicted in them.

- Obviously, here in our country, the increase in the number of people addicted to gambling because of online gambling has accelerated, and it only happened because of the influencers who promoted it on social media without disrespect if anyone sees minors, as long as theirs can only promote gambling because they are paid whether the online gambling they are promoting is illegal or not.
So I hope there should be a law for social media influencers so that they can be sued when it is found that the online casino they are promoting is illegal. They should be held accountable and taxed as well.

It's more comfortable to actually gamble online and without hassle. The only thing I don't like is the way influencers are promoted on social media, like on Facebook, where all the kids who use Facebook see someone promoting gambling, and that's not good for me.
There is a high possibility that the children will be encouraged to gamble, and it is also possible to instill in them the cheap mentality that it is okay to gamble with those who are still young like them in these things.

depend on your preferred kind of gaming .
onland - better ambiance and co gamblers.
online - easy to access and easy to hide .

I believe easy access to online casinos can lead to addiction, especially among youth. Online gambling is particularly attractive because many online casinos don't require age verification, making it easier for minors to start playing at a young age without restriction. This lack of control can result in addiction if they don't gamble responsibly...which is the opposite for on-land casinos.
-
Why do we even compare those two in current digital era? Of course online casinos are more accessible, have more clients and more addicted as well. If we take whole period, starting from first gambling appearance and until today, offline casinos made more addicted gamblers. Nevertheless, it is all individual. In online gambling, people gamble for lower amounts than offline. I think that offline gamblers want to return and win back what was lost more than online gamblers. When online gamblers gamblers more often.

Convenience beat everything when it comes to gambling and that is what online casino has solved. Right in your home, you can gamble all you want and nobody will disturb you and it also gives some room for privacy in that you can gamble anytime you like without leaving the comfort of your home and people will never see you that you gamble or do anything related to gambling.
Online gambling also makes you bet at anytime, you don't have to go to casino when to deposit and when to withdraw when you win bets and you get to receive your withdrawals in crypto, most physical casinos don't offer this type of withdrawals.

I agree with you. Addiction to gambling, whether online or offline, is determined by the individual rather than the mode of gambling. Gambling does not make a person an addict. It is the gambler's irresponsibility that does so. This means that anyone who gambles more online and then becomes addicted can also become addicted if he gambles offline. What matters is that the gambler maintains discipline and self-control.

and this is what Online gambling provides nowadays , in the past a youngsters cannot participate in physical casino because of their age and looks but nowadays? in online casinos even teens can play using fake KYC and this is why gambling now is more addicted than just in the past.
also with online money specially cryptos ? they can manage to gamble secretly without their parents have idea what is going on.

A teen can play using fake KYC, but teens are often strongly limited with money. When talking about addiction, we must imagine an adult with a decent salary. Because a person with low salary, who is living from salary to salary, probably wont risk money in gambling. Even though online casinos are convenient, many still prefer to gamble offline. But that is just a niance. Online gambling is already dominating industry. Slots and sports betting are record holders for creating people addicted.

Online gambling has increased the rate of underage gamblers because they have easy access to the casino without restriction. It has also made a lot of people gamble more often than before because they have the casinos app in the PC on their phones. Addiction is the most important thing that one needs to avoid in order for him not to ruin his life with gambling. I believe that online casinos are having new customers every day compared to land based casinos that is very strict on the age of gamblers coming to the casino.

I think this is an easy one because Online gaming hasn’t been really that much old compared to land based Gambling. But the rise in amount of gambling addict is increasing because of the easy access to the gambling casinos.
For those who are interested in scientific research, The link below is a great read relating to the subject at hand.

This is true but we can't deny the fact that physical gambling place is not guilty of this too. You will see written on the banners that strictly for 18+ but you will be amaze that when you enter into those gambling physical place you are going to see underage children playing there and nobody will even question them what they are doing there. You see them love playing sports bets as they are also looking for a way to make money.
But now that online looks more easy to hide, the percentage of underage people gambling is much more than that of people that gamble in physical places.

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, I would say that you are right on assuming that online casinos create more gambling addicts than on-land casinos, reason is same as you have mentioned, online casinos are easily and very accessible as soon as a person can afford a smart phone with access to the internet.
Come to think of this, in the olden days when there was no smart phones or even internet, gamblers only gambled through on-land casinos, and if we are to be honest with ourselves, gambling addiction was not a thing at that time, very few persons were addicted to gambling/if there was even any at all..
But back to this days, with the advent of the internet and online casinos, more people have become addicted to gambling, to the extent that some even end up killing themselves due to depression.

Those are just that showing off that they are complying with government rules about gambling addiction control and this is why they would really be putting up those cautions or reminders about gambling addiction but the main thing that on their minds is that they do really love that tons of people would really be getting addicted on which we do know that this means that it is really that more revenue for them on which this is really something which is common sense. When it comes to addicts then both places would really be giving out those numbers
but its something that could be precisely be pointed out.

I think online gambling has more gambling addicts because online gambling is very accessible where it is only on your phone or computer you can play wherever and whenever you like as long as you have internet. Some online casinos let you cash in small amounts of money which makes people who want to play bet on it.

We are already watching the many ill effects of online gambling right now. And with the support of the government - which is always looking ways to boost its revenue base - allowing the advertising of online gambling in national TV, I am expecting that in the next 5 years we would be producing many addicts made up mostly of young people lured to earn more by betting more. There is no question that gambling is one of the most profitable enterprises ever and that is why more can be coming in to cash in with the industry...and of course they can be creating their own markets too which is for now has become like unlimited. With great access and quite attractive promotions, online gambling is here to stay making many winners and making more losers in the process...in the end this can be destroying lives especially with people who don't know what they are doing.

I also stand on same believe. Gambling on online casinos can be completely anonymous, especially when using a crypto casino without KYC verification. That could give the gambler an opportunity to gamble all without having anyone to advice them to stop or quit gambling as they can make gamble for years without anyone finding out about their gambling habit. on In-house gambling one can gamble with his friends and set limit to how much he gambles with easily than online casinos where deposit is very fast and swift. Beside the simplicity in gambling with mobile phones makes it easy for anyone to gamble anywhere at anytime.

both are addicted depending on how you wanted to treat them both.

The problem with online casino users is that, no one in they real life will know they are gambling unless those that they tell and also we have to note the fact that some of the online casino users may be addicted without anyone knowing.
Some time the reason why offline gamblers are easily noticed since anyone can see who walk into the casino house and how much time they spend in there, so for sure physical casinos will have more addicts than online casinos based on data or statistics.

It is also incorrect to ask such a question, as offline gambling industry is running for how many years? 100? 200? But online gambling became popular and widely spread during last 20 years maybe. Of course offline casinos would be leading in numbers. Also a person might be gambling online and offline, then in which category he would be?
But I am sure, that slots made more addicts than any other gambling game. Just at amount of machines in any casino, and amount of slots games online.

I do not think it is wrong to ask such questions. Online gamblers will be addicted to gambling than offline gamblers. This is because as people do not see you gambling and the easy to deposit, this makes online gamblers more not to be conscious of addiction. Their family and friends may not even know that they are gambling.
Also a person might be gambling online and offline, then in which category he would be?
People that gamble both online and offline can be asked a question in a survey that which one are they more addicted. If they are addicted on both, they that will give a neutral score.

Exactly the point, there is no way to compare offline casinos to online casinos, because both have different timings and focus although the business environment may be the same, but there time of existence and development ant the same, while offline casinos have many things way ahead of online casinos since their have been around for quite a while before the evention of online casinos., many gambling companies have in the past followed a mode of operation that have just been chagrin in a little way due to impact of online casinos development.
So in number, offline casinos still uave higher chances of creating more addicts both in the past and in the present time, so still on that I will definitely count offline casinos are the most addictive method pf gambling compared to online.

Most of my friends who are addicted were gambling offline and became addicted to gambling. One of them was always leaving school to go and gamble. He will be there for hours even when he doesn't have money to gamble again. He will stay there hoping that someone will win and then give him money to gamble. When you gamble in the midst of other gambling, you can easily be pushed by their energy and gamble more than expected.
Such friends are in everyone's circle. I had a friend who used to gamble even with the money he didn't eat at school because he was more interested in gambling than eating. Seeing him, other school boys also joined him in the game of gambling and all of them were said to lose every day, even then they did not stop gambling. Gambling is something that can easily influence one person to another, because there is a temptation to earn money easily. But as easy as the thought of earning money easily clicks, earning money from gambling is much more difficult than that.
that is a common practice from younger people to completely engage ingambling because lets admit than one day in our life we have gambled wrongly (also i am one of those who fell in gambling when in Highschool lol)
admit it that there are so many bad influence when we are young and from school.
I first gambled when I was in college, and I was actually influenced by my friends. I knew nothing about gambling then, he just walked up to me and said he had a fixed game he bought and want to play and asked me to tag along,
looking at your story? i believe that you are not in the line of family that involved in gambling ? i mean your community and the people around you aren't gamblers because
mine is far different from yours because i have seen in the street all forms of gambling and yeah in younger age i have become small gambler.
I wasn't confident about it but his assurance inspired me to participate, so I gave him some money to stake the game for me, and the game turned out pretty fine and I won a good sum of money.
That was my first participation in gambling, and honestly I thought it was that easy, until I started betting myself.
but what have you found now? do you still enjoying gambling? then that is better if yes .
The problem with online casino users is that, no one in they real life will know they are gambling unless those that they tell and also we have to note the fact that some of the online casino users may be addicted without anyone knowing.
Some time the reason why offline gamblers are easily noticed since anyone can see who walk into the casino house and how much time they spend in there, so for sure physical casinos will have more addicts than online casinos based on data or statistics.
not sure if no one knows unless they are hiding it from their family and friends .

If we are gambling and also getting addicted, then we should observe this and work towards it before it gets out of hands, we cannot blame any platform for our irresponsible gambling habits, we have to know and have a clearer understanding about what we are doing in gambling, which all these makes it not to be more of online or physical gambling that determines how addicted one is, but in the ability to have a good stand while gambling.

Gambling addiction is something that comes gradually. When you play the first game and you win the gambling then you replay again and win again then loss the third time and win the fourth time and loss everything again in the next game. Men that is where addiction will come to the mind because you be motivated to deposit big amount of money to gamble to win big. And with this experience I think all the two sides make gamblers to be addicted. Both the online and offline casinos make gamblers to be addicted and the only different is the easy access and assess to the games. Online has the easiest way to play at anytime and anywhere but in offline you have to trek down to the place while online is just the device and network you have played the game.
-
but in the ability to have a good stand while gambling.
The more I read into addiction cases the more I believe that relying on your mind to be disciplined is hard unless you see the consequences directly. I play games that have some loot box mechanism, and I need to stay away from it for a while because the urge to gamble and get a high rarity drop is really strong. If I don't have any experience of getting shit drops consistently I don't think doing that will be as easy as it sounds. So yeah, if you get exposed to anything that can cause addiction easily, it's better to prepare other measures other than believing in your mind to stay away from addiction. CMIIW.

Because for now gambling in my country is still a fairly difficult thing to find if it is a land-based casino then it is clear that the choice is online casinos because we don't have to bother to walk and appear in gambling so we can still gamble even without interacting directly through face-to-face.
Even though it may feel different when talking about land-based casinos and online casinos, until now I still feel that online casinos still have a special sensation that makes me comfortable in them.
In addition, I also have more choices when in an online casino even though I am in gambling still limit myself to sportsbook only but I am quite comfortable with online casinos until now.

Well the same way I am also more comfortable with online casinos. because it's more practical and easier to access from anywhere and when I'm doing any activity as long as it's not working hours. Offline casinos can actually still be found in several cities in our country, but yes, they are quite closed and only certain people can know about them and have access to them. So I think almost everyone from our country has the same thoughts regarding this issue.

both are addicted depending on how you wanted to treat them both.
You are right the both are addictive but I think online gambling made the highest addiction because online gambling is easy version of old days gambling and also considering the kind of environment most gamblers domiciled is normally difficult for them to go to the gambling shops without being noticeable so it becomes difficult for most people to gamble.
However when the online gambling came it became easy for people to gamble at their comfort zone without anybody noticing and a lot of people were able to come in and from there it becomes very easier for people to become an addict, however one of the reasons why online gambling has more of addict is because most of the sports betting platforms doesn't involve the use of kyc and as such even children below the age of gambling are currently making use of it which makes it very easy for someone to be easily addicted.
-
We are the ones that choose to be addicted or not and not the responsibility of the kind of gambling platform we are making use of, addiction can comes in from any platform or in any format, we are the ones who shouldn't allow such to hold us down in a negative effect on how we are gambling, we must be able to give account on the progress we made from gambling time to time in seeing if we are not getting addicted.

Its always on someones choice or decisions when it comes on dealing up with gambling on which there would really be those individuals who would really be that still dealing up with gambling
but they are responsible on dealing or engaging with it and despite of such playing they arent that making themselves getting addicted into it on which this is something more recommended
or something that will really be mushc needed because on the time that you do get shackled with addiction then it would really be that hard to get out and this is something that you should really be that careful. Addicts made out by different platforms whether online or offline then there's no such about exact numbers.

The traditional casinos where people who plays slot pulls lever to spin is more addictive than online casinos.
People turn to casinos especially the older ones who turns 40 will have a hard time socializing already to same age which is why they turn to casinos because they are lonely. In casinos is where they could find companions they never knew before. They are not just addicted to playing slot but addicted to looking for new friends.
-
I would say that they play slots not because they are lonely, but because slots is an easy game. You dont have to do much, insert money, pull the lever and wait. You dont have to even think much, just sit, pull and wait. Imho such easy-to-play games are what makes people addicted, because entrance level to it is as low as possible. With online it is even more easy. Even though people gamble online more now, offline casinos and slots in particular made mode addicted gamblers than ever.

This very true the game can be played while closing your eyes. This is why they can do things at the same time like flirting with a 40 year old man whos in mid life crisis sitting beside them.
They can even chat and drink wine at the same time playing slot. Its easy to make friends in slot and they can be find everywhere near a gasoline station.

Well you are completely right about that, one of the games that has been the most famous and that players look for the most is slots, but because of the way they make people feel like they have a chance to win, many look for it for that reason, I personally like it a lot , but I know that the best games that are the most addictive can be any, even sports betting can help with that when it is not controlled, this is what many are looking for, I have always said that a game that causes addiction is poker, but because now there are not many platforms in PVP mode, Slots have taken that Control.
-
In gambling, everyone will always have his own reasons for what he want, some will be telling you that they prefer physical gambling all because they enjoy the company of other gamblers in the casino house to bet along with the other fun and exciting moments they benefits, while some will be on the side that they prefer the online platforms for gambling in other for them to have their privacy each time they are gambling, all these doesn't call for addiction as long as the gambler knows what he is doing.
-
I think online gambling has more gambling addicts because online gambling is very accessible where it is only on your phone or computer you can play wherever and whenever you like as long as you have internet. Some online casinos let you cash in small amounts of money which makes people who want to play bet on it.
We are already watching the many ill effects of online gambling right now. And with the support of the government - which is always looking ways to boost its revenue base - allowing the advertising of online gambling in national TV, I am expecting that in the next 5 years we would be producing many addicts made up mostly of young people lured to earn more by betting more. There is no question that gambling is one of the most profitable enterprises ever and that is why more can be coming in to cash in with the industry...and of course they can be creating their own markets too which is for now has become like unlimited. With great access and quite attractive promotions, online gambling is here to stay making many winners and making more losers in the process...in the end this can be destroying lives especially with people who don't know what they are doing.
I agree Online gambling is becoming popular with lots of advertising out there also with the support of the government It can encourage people to partake in online gambling even if content creators are promoting gambling websites. it is likely to create more addicts, especially among young people. they should create stricter regulations to protect those who are vulnerable, especially young people.

I also prefer online casinos due to easy accessibility like you said and you can be gambling without anyone knowing that you are a gamble, because it gives privacy. Also it is safe when you win huge unlike offline casino that you can be traced home by hooums and robbers. However, I started gambling on offline casinos but after online casino game out, I only gamble once in a while in offline casinos with friends.

I also agree that online casinos reach young people much Faster, this means that those who are easy to manipulate fall for it, being addicted to gambling with an online casino is an experience closer to them, because most players are more focused on the digital, and the older ones on physical casinos, I sometimes go to Physical casinos. Obviously the experience is different , Especially because I save registrations and the money is instant, but now most young people only want to be in digital empires, nothing to do with experiences like most of us have lived.

I would say offline, because in physical casinos the atmosphere centers around gambling, has casino feel to it (duh!) and includes free drinks — a proper recipe for disaster.

Slots are online gambling that is currently trending at all ages, even elementary school children are playing whether they understand it or not, but in my mind what they see is a game where you only pull the lever if the combo makes a loud sound and they very happy to play like that

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?
In my own opinion since land based casinos are way more accessible compared to online ones I think for me it was more addicting or has more addictions as most gamblers don't bother using internet or not that techie of some sort so they prefer the most easiest way to interact with gambling and that is the land based gambling booths or establishments.
-
I would say offline, because in physical casinos the atmosphere centers around gambling, has casino feel to it (duh!) and includes free drinks — a proper recipe for disaster.
Without a doubt, such an atmosphere can be tempting and encourage more gambling, but in my neighborhood, betting shops close at a certain time, which has occasionally helped zealous gamblers take a break. However, this is not the case with online gambling, where you have unlimited time to gamble and nothing can limit the gambler except he decides personally to take a break. This is a challenge, especially for a gambler who wants to win badly or avoid losing. These are the attitudes that lead to addiction, and I believe that online gambling can easily ruin a gambler's finances and emotions.

They would need to have internet connection to be play which is another bill for a gambler whos more concern on betting but not on paying.
Most addicts are delinquents, the local bet shops are easier to visit than online where they need phones or computers.

You do not give what you do not have. If you can not afford data, you will not be able to gamble much in local shops because you do not have any money. Gambling requires money. Have you ever heard that a person without money is addicted to gambling? There is a distinction between wanting to gamble and making every effort to gamble, such as selling items or borrowing.
Most poor people will not go to that extent because they have yet to experience the thrill of gambling. Gambling regularly implies that you have money. It would be unusual to see an adult without a phone to access the internet in this day and age. Even though such cases exist, I can assure you that the majority of gamblers in the metropolis have good phones and can easily access gambling sites at their leisure and convenience.

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?
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.
You are right, normally I would have just said online gambling has made more addicts due to how convenient and easy it is to access but like you said it is subjective to the individual. A lot of people that live in urban areas with access to mobile phones and data still gamble on-land actively on-land, there are people that even use their assets to gamble, things like cars, jewels and so on they do this when they are out of money to bet. So it all depends on the individual. After reading your posts my conclusion is both systems are addictive on the same level

It's already tipping as online games have been on the rise since the pandemic, and I have seen people who don't want to go to land based casinos because of many reasons, are now playing online because it is very convenient for them.
So with that, we might not have the numbers, but I think majority of us here believed that there are more online gamers. And I say online gamers, but there is big possibility that they will turn out to be addicts, regardless if they want to admit it or not. Just like the other day, my brother in law has been playing online games for the last 6 months and he has been losing money everyday. He says that he is not a addict, but I disagree, however, I don't want to argue with him and so he continue to gamble his money away.

Even before Covid-19, the context may have been different, if the survey before Covid-19, it might have been seen that most people are more addicted to physical on land casinos. However, Covid-19 has made the scenario completely different.
Currently, the number of addcited gamblers online is more than that of physical casinos. Because online gambling is easy to access easy to play. And that is why it is seen that the amount of online gambling is increasing day by day and its addiction rate is also increasing day by day.

This is one of the bad effects of Covid-19, people are just in their home and so gamblers or not, we find ways to entertain ourselves and so we go online and play and then majority got addicted.

That is so true, accessibility is one factors why there are a lot of online gamblers who became addicted. Even before they sleep or upon waking up, they will gamble, thus falling into this category. And maybe at the end of the year, there are millions globally who are not addicted to gambling. It's very sad that the pandemic bring this as well, and with that, everyone should really be very careful on gambling and at least control themselves.

In fact, the number of gamblers rose during the pandemic and they developed an addiction to it. Since they are disoriented while they are indoors and don't have anything to do, numerous of them started gambling and were addicted. The features and perks that casinos offer are what keep most new players in. The practice of online betting has grown in popularity and effectiveness for private users. Because of a variety of factors, playing poker online appears to be more enjoyable than playing in person. I sincerely appreciate my niece for persuading me to stop gambling, even though I truly wanted to become hooked to it. I've been gambling regularly these days, but I gamble calmly and sensibly.

It is certain that online gambling is more likely to trigger people to become addicted, where there is no time limit for gambling, you can gamble at any time, unlike offline, there is definitely time to take a break from gambling.
-
I think both have the potential to cause addiction, only online casinos are more than land-based casinos nowadays, so I think many gamblers are addicted to online casinos.
The number of people who can easily access and play anywhere and anytime is what causes someone to become addicted, the more often they use it, the greater the potential, while land-based casinos are only certain people who are addicted because the places are rarely found today.
-
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.
I used to think that online gamblers are more addicted that those that prefer gambling on land till I saw someone using his Lexus car to gamble, this is actually very disturbing because it takes an insane amount of obsession for someone to do this. So if you think online gamblers are more of addicts think again. Some people that bet on land bet valuable assets when they have no money to gamble with again. It's not even about the system of gambling anymore it's about the individual, as a gambler without self-control you can get addicted to any of them, they are both capable of ruining lives. Gambling can be disastrous whether gambling online or on land it just depends on how you get involved in it
-
Anything we do online is kind of addiction, not gambling addiction but addiction from scrolling the pics, texting or even checking for notifications every 5 minutes so in that case let's assume online casinos have more addicts than land based cause they have access to online gambling 24/7 and it's convenient so even the people who used to be old fashioned also might want to switch to the online.

Yes, to gamble in a land-based casino, you have to go there and gamble according to the rules. There may be various obligations. Even when the money runs out, he has to come back to arrange the money. But there is no such obligation in online gambling platforms. Gamblers are more likely to be addicted in online gambling because they are gambling at their own convenience and have the convenience of depositing money online to quickly arrange the money when they loss.

A lot of people that live in urban areas with access to mobile phones and data still gamble on-land actively on-land, there are people that even use their assets to gamble, things like cars, jewels and so on they do this when they are out of money to bet. So it all depends on the individual. After reading your posts my conclusion is both systems are addictive on the same level
I think it's easy to hide under the advantage of been online and anonymous gambling since nobody see you but even offline gambling, there are much by number of people that gamble offline and they know how to hide it from the public, from the close friends and families and also from their self, you will never know when they makes moves to go and gamble but they know how to do it secretly even when they are addicted to it.
However, I think if the government were to raised concern and try to regulate the offline casino because of the increase in the growing number of addicted gamblers, the offline will be easy because all they will do is to shut down all and none will be given access to customers and because they don't know how to gamble online, they have no choice than to follow the order and law set aside but the government doesn't care about addicted gamblers.

Because of the availability and easy access to mobile networks all over the globe, we can easily say that online gambling has made more addicts than on-land gambling due to the fact online gambling offers 24/7 round-the-clock services, compared to on-land gambling, which has a time limit services rendered. The 24/7 accessibility of online gambling can lead someone who's not an addicted gambler to be one someday due to the easy access to it.
