I heard about gambling therapy and it prick my mind to which I asked myself when last did I go for gambling therapy? I could recall and that's because I have never had one since I believe am gambling responsibly.
What's gambling therapy?
Gambling Therapy is a free, global online service offering practical advice and emotional support to anyone affected by problem gambling
linkYeah, you read that correctly , it says
people affected by gambling problem. But after reading I took an opposing view about it because gambling therapy shouldn't be something simply painted exclusively for people with gambling addiction problems alone. In as much as you're a gambler, whether a gambler that has his gambling habit under control, going for a gambling therapy should be a habit we should acculturate ourselves with, at least twice a year (ones in every 6months).
We go for monthly or quarterly health routine checkups not only because we're sick but to reduce any risk of getting sick before knowing. Right? same behavior can be applied to gambling , do you agree or it's not necessary until you start getting a gambling problem .
In my opinion this doesn't help at all, because when people are starting to develop gambling problems they need to stay away from the internet and away from any games for a while until they can go all day without talking about games and without thinking about games, now when people are already at a very high level of gambling addiction, they are addicted to gambling to be more direct, then these people urgently need medical help in the real world, and when they get medical help in the real world, the Doctors will recommend a complete ban on internet use and not playing anything for a long time, after a long time has passed, then doctors will recommend gradual use of the internet, but with many limitations. This help coming from the internet doesn't help at all
