It's up to those people if there's some betting shop that close to them. It's all about being responsible and the discipline that they can apply to themselves. If they can't be disciplined and they won't want it.
No matter how close or far they reside from the physical casinos, they are going to come there no matter what the situation is. This is all about themselves already and whatever is the circumstance that they're facing if they are determined to go there, they will go.
That's why we still see people that keeps on gambling even if we've giving them 100% of tips on how to stop.
Distance has become a moot point when it comes to most services and this includes casinos, since we no longer need to travel a few miles to gamble at our favorite casino, instead we can literally just grab our smartphone from our pocket and we will have access to almost anything that we may imagine
If a gambler is decided to gamble, distance can be not an issue to him. But it adds really a point on why someone who wants to quit can go back anytime because of the location.
Well, the most important matter right now. Even if someone is too close to the location, we're even closer now through technology and internet. As long as you have the device, you can gamble anytime and anywhere and I think that's even a harder situation for most of us.
consequently we need to be more careful than ever on what we do online and how we do it in order to avoid an addiction to develop which could take us forever to get rid of.
We are always reminded to do things in a controlled way. Because when we get out of touch, the situation is going to be way worse than what we could imagine.
