It is true that loneliness and isolation might increase the risk of problem gambling. One argument is that when individuals are lonely, they may resort to gambling to fill a hole or feel more connected. However, it is crucial to understand that not everyone who is lonely develops a gambling addiction. And not everyone gambles because they are lonely. So, while loneliness may be a risk factor, it is not the sole one.
It's also crucial to recognize that gambling addiction is a multifaceted problem. It's more than just winning and losing money. Genetics, mental health, and environmental variables are all potential contributors to problem gambling.
When someone loneliness, not doing anything and only browsing the internet and visiting the gambling sites, he can attract to the gambling easily because he will curious with the insides of the gambling sites. It needs controls from himself to avoids attract to gambling so he doesn't takes too long staying on that gambling sites. He needs to search for the other activities and fills it to makes him busy and not thinks about gambling, especially if he familiar with the gambling sites. Loneliness can makes someone not doing many things because he will becomes lazy doing many things. That can be worst if he attracts to gambling and curious with gambling because that can makes him playing gambling and will used gambling as his main activity. That can makes him becomes addicted to gambling because he doesn't have the other activities that can makes him distract his minds about gambling.
Being lonely doesnt mean that you would automatically be doing gambling because not all would really be a gambler on which means that they could really be able to ease out the boredom or loneliness that they had felt via other means like playing up some games or any hobbies that they are getting used to, and as i have said that not all would really be that a gambler on which means that they could be able to ease out that loneliness via other means. It is really just that that would really be depending on how they would really enjoying it out and as said that not all would really be gamblers.
If you are a gambler then your definitely this is your main option but if not then you would really be dealing up with things that you've been interesting into.
Just like we do all know that each person does have their own different approach into things.
