I personally think online gambling is more addictive
I agree with you.
We get addicted to things which release happy harmones in our brain with less effort.
Online gambling is more addictive because of factor like these:
Ease of access: we can start playing with just our phone laying on bed. no need to take effort of going down stairs, driving car, etc.
Bonuses: we get a lot of bonuses on thousands of online casinos.
Availability: online casinos are available 24 hours anytime we want to play just log in to any casino with our phone.
These points are so on point on the factors that make online casinos and gambling addictive. Yes it gives that relaxed ambiance when you are on your bed and you just credit your bankroll and you hit your bet and what makes it worse is you have every game you want to hit on right there on the casino on your bed with your phone. You just would be lucky if you are winning but if not, you know you will keep crediting your account until you have lost control. That is why I think sometimes comfort is what leads to gambling addiction and discomfort is part of a remedy. In other words, if you distant your self from playing online, you are in a process to reduce your addiction.
but there are many disadvantages also of online gambling like we cannot control ourselves to gamble responsibly, our mind not trust 100% to online casinos, etc.
Like I have said, it is dangerous. I realized this myself and I have to control my pulse on soccer bet online.
