Gambling sites do not directly tell anyone that you are wasting time gambling on my site. But they arrange their gambling games in such a way that draws a gambler there again and again. Its name is addiction. If it is excessive then it takes a terrible form. So controlling yourself from gambling is a difficult task which is not possible for everyone. And he who can do this is the real hero and a smart guy
That is true on my part as well. I see this as entertainment, which means if I am bored and there is nothing to do then I can gamble, which means I would have a little bit of fun and I would limit my deposit so that I would not lose too much, would be willing to deposit as low as 10-20 dollars just so I wouldn't lose much, and just have fun.
But, if I have something to do, a new tv show to watch, a new book to read, a new movie to go see, friends to go meet, anything that I rather do, then I do not feel like gambling at all, it doesn't come to my mind and instead I do the other things. Gambling is basically a method to have fun when you have nothing else to do.
Basically you gamble only when bored so most provably this addiction will not gonna happen if you have a life outside and it will just occur if you are staying at home facing your computer for long hours so to avoid this its really better to anyone to shutdown all things which can give you an access to your computer and never install any casino app on your phone so that you will not get tempted to play wherever you are.
