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.
Not seeing does not mean you can get over your addiction, addiction cannot be cured that way, when there's a yearning to play a gambler will find a way to play, that is why restricting oneself from playing in a casino a gambler playing is useless, to overcome addictions, you need professionals you need to stop the symptoms and the urge and this can only happen with the help of professionals, self-cure will not help you overcome addiction it may even get your addiction worse, your recommendation will not eradicate addiction.
Steps to stop online gambling addiction are to limit the use of devices that can give him access to visit casino sites. Besides that, they also have to start a new habit related to physical activity so that their minds can be distracted by doing this activity. This can be successfully tried for those who still have difficulty avoiding online casino sites so that they can slowly reduce their gambling activities and even prevent them from visiting those online casino sites. But to do all that requires a strong desire to reduce their gambling activities because they have experienced the negative impact of frequent gambling. If they really try, they will succeed in reducing their gambling activities and will no longer be addicted to gambling.
