It's not that easy to stop a habit especially something which is addictive. But the idea is there, it solely depends on the player whether he would be too hooked up in gambling activity or not.  It is also not losing which is the concern here I guess, but how it affects an individual. Everything which is too much is bad. There's no relationship with travelling and gambling; but having no alternative activity is. I understand OP's perspective a little, if he just enjoy playing then that won't be a problem but if it pushes him to his/her limit in different factors, things should be really changed while there's time. What I mean with diversion is trying to appreciate what are the other things around you exept for the behavior or activity you are trying to limit or avoid.

Indeed, based on my friends whom I asked before for my study  in relation with gambling addiction, they do prefer playing on realtime casinos than with online platforms. According to one of my friends; it is the 'feeling' and interaction which adds more satisfaction and comfortability. While to others; they are becoming more thrilled. But definitely, online platforms give more bonuses for the players, right? So we cannot really discriminate those who are into it, as long as all of the players are enjoying with moderation ofcourse.
