Gambling Addiction and Online Casinos

Players at online casinos are just as susceptible to gambling addiction problems as those who frequent land based casinos. In fact, there may be even more chance of developing an online gambling addiction because it can be done totally in private, with no one else having a clue as to what the gambler is doing. Play is accessible with just a mouse click and an electronic deposit. Games are fast and fun, with plenty of diversity from slot play to roulette, and table games like blackjack. Multi-player poker games are also available at online casinos.

Often the problem does not surface until banking difficulties arise. Overdrafts, denials of withdrawals, and having to resort to payday loans to make it through until a next payday all are signs of a possible online gambling addiction.

Other signs of gambling addiction include playing higher bets, lying to others about losses and constantly thinking about online casino gambling play. Online casinos do not help those with online gambling addiction because they continue to email special offers and free play teases to players.

The solution to online gambling addiction is the same as that for any type of gambling addiction. The player must first admit to a problem and be willing to try to address that problem. Gamblers Anonymous offers wise information about gambling addiction problems. There are local meetings that can help a problem gambler turn away from this devastating habit. Online casino games can be fun, but players should know that it also could become a gambling addiction.
