I agree, as long as a compulsive gambler has access to gambling, the addiction will keep on going.
.There is no alternative for money ...these alternative for money will not work
I would highly not recommend to use different apps for the money game - rather save your time and do something productive
The alternatives for an addicted player always get them, I think that the best option for a player who is falling into addiction or who is already addicted is to do other things that consume a lot of time and tire him, one option is that he can play sports, constantly changing the environment, doing activities that require time and not giving him much time to play, of course quitting completely is not healthy either, because when he has a relapse the consequences will be worse, he is like alcoholics, You have to leave it little by little, play little, if you used to play two hours before, at least lower it to 1 hour, and the other week half an hour and so on.
I highly agree those who are addicted to gambling should avoid things that have a connection to gambling and make themselves divert their attention and find hobbies that will take their mind out of gambling activity. It is also recommended to undergo medical treatment so a visit to a doctor is also needed. Though it would be best for a gambling addict to slowly lessen the hours they spend gambling until they can manage to stop their gambling activity. And for a gambling addict, medical treatment and guidance will be the best thing to follow.
