A better suggestion and an alternative to quitting gambling completely is to start betting with fake money gambling apps. With FAKE MONEY GAMBLING APPS, you can continue gambling on the app even on live games, but with fake money. So in reality you can maintain the experience you derive from gambling and not loose any money except the fake one in the process.
Do you know that those who are addictive to gambling are the ones who actually want to win real money. The addiction is not about playing gambling only but the real addiction is to earn money through gambling. So if you keep this in mind, then gamblers would never agree to play with fake money. If this was the case then gamblers had a lot of option to play at other sites which are non-gambling one. No one will agree to play with fake money as per my thinking.
While it is true that those which are addicted to gambling are chasing the profits they believe they can get out of it, in theory it is possible someone could get addicted to gambling with play money, for example we know that video game addiction is real and the money you get there is not real and yet we see people which cannot stop playing their favorite video games, so while I think the number could be incredibly low there could be a few people out there addicted to gambling with play money.
In the sense of getting to addicted to the game yes and it's truly part of addictions, people are uncontrolled once they already have this kind of addictions, even it's just a play money that they are using but the adrenaline inside them is really high. Luckily, if ever, they are just using play money and the losses that they can only get are the time that they are spending inside the platform.
Maybe it's still addiction and only a few can be engaged to these kinds of activities, still far from real casino gamblers, where they both invest time and money to lose when they are inside the house.
