I have seen several topics here and other discussion thread where many people talked about gambling addiction. So many procedures been stated to follow sequentially to reduce the rate at which one frequently visit online gambling sites and possibly their application if they do have any of them.

I remember in one of the threads I raised up a point which was long hidden as the thread became too numerous and lengthy to continue the conversation on that topic. It was my opinion to add up in profering solutions to gambling addiction. I believe not too many people saw it to to say something about it so that is why I had to bring it up as a topic hear. I want to hear your opinion and ideas towards it.

Here is it;

I am of the opinion that since gambling sites are mostly online and some has adds that pops up as advert on visited site, one should be able to disable or change their browser settings by blocking casino adds and as well disabling gambling sites on their browser settings so as not to gain access to it anymore till the number of days they deem fit to their resolve. This was just a little tip I gave as a possible solution. I had to put it up here for further discussions so that the bigger community can see it as well.

If you feel or think here is not the right place for this you can say it. I am open to corrections as we all are here to learn.

In combating gambling addiction, everything required to achieve the purpose should not be left out and that includes the points stated. A whole lot has to be in sync to help successfully keep an addict off the space but when those features are put together, and because it is almost impossible for one to exist without surfing the internet, and in these days of AI where ads are tailored to your frequently visited niche, you get ads popup pertaining to gambling sites and casions, all other efforts will prove futile in their pursuit.

I concurr with OP's suggestion.

Ads too are a must stop if one is willing to stop addiction within their strength. I see no reasons why an addict willing to stop gambling would not take this measures as proposed to see how far they can go in trying to stop the rate at which they gamble. Of lately, a member here built a website with the goal of helping addicted gamblers to stop their gambling lifestyle. That was a good move by the member and the website is very much helpful and educative to anyone interested in it.
