I think it's a given that gambling online makes one more addicted. You have it in your computer, on your laptop and even on your phone anywhere you go.
I guess, yes online gambling can be more addictive as compared to real gambling. When you do physical gambling, you may face some hurdles like going to the casino and how long you stay there etc etc. With online gambling you can just stay online and gamble the whole day and night with no one watching or stopping you. This is like the same addiction like some teenagers get addicted to watch porn all night because its again easily assessible everytime & everywhere
A gambler can be addicted to both physical and online gambling platforms. But why the chances of being addicted online are more has been mentioned in your words. If a gambler is gambled to physical casinos, he needs hard money. He can lose as much money as he has at that time but he has to stop as soon as the money runs out. But on the online platform, a gambler can continue his gambling without stopping. As long as his money is in the online account. Some gamblers try to deposit money into gambling with their bank cards. That is, when the gambler loses, he can continue his gambling regularly. That is why gamblers are more likely to become addicted to online platforms.
nowadays especially among the younger generation who have less control over their gambling, and even if they lose they want to win more which pushes them towards more addiction. Various online gambling platforms through the internet and smartphones attract users with tempting offers and advertisements. Many people become addicted to online gambling in the hope of earning more money in a short time.
It is very wrong to view online gambling as a problem because you are not force into it, it is a personal decision to be involved with gambling instead of seeing online gambling as a problem, we should see our self as the main problem because we are responsible for our actions, people are always looking for the easy way even When we are responsible we are always looking for were to shift the blame to. Moderation in all things, when you get addicted to drinking of alcohol are we to blame alcohol for your addiction or you. Until you see that you are in control of your life and responsible for all your actions them you can be able to control every action you take. But when you are always feeling that something is responsible for your actions then you will always look for means to shift the blame. Online gambling is not a problem but your inability to control your gambling habits that where the problem lies.
What you say is one hundred percent right, because we're responsible for our activities. With the existence of online gambling, the process has been made easier, and people have gotten access to gambling on the go. When the process has got a transformation, people started to lose control. Here we can't blame the gambling site owners as well as the gamblers. For the owners, it is business, and for the people, it is an easily accessible choice to find their luck. Here the gamblers need to be more responsible than the owners because we're risking the money expecting the bigger one, whereas the owners have an edge unlike the win and loss happening with the gamblers. If there is no online gambling access, there might be less addiction than in the present day because one can gamble from any corner of the world. The only requirement is a stable internet connection.
