The gambling addiction problem obviously also applies to online casinos. With the same differences as the live game.
Often the media, when dealing with casinos, end up talking about gambling addiction, telling stories of people who have lost everything to roulette, or who literally ate the salary at the slot machine . There is still little talk about ludopathy in online casinos , but it’s probably just a matter of time, as online legal casinos in New Zealand are only a reality since July 18th. Already, because gambling addiction, unfortunately, makes no difference between live play and online gaming. Even if you need to make the difference. The first, the biggest, is that when playing online casinos there are betting limits for each session, which in any case can not be exceeded. Probably not the most effective deterrent, but playing in a land casino, or the videoslot of any bar, nobody prevents us from losing all that we are going to play without fatigue. Another important difference is the campaign on responsible gambling, to which online casinos give the right weight and the right importance. This campaign allows all players in difficulty to immediately find comfort and help through a telephone contact. In land games all this does not happen. The point, however, does not want to be the exaltation of the game in online casinos at the expense of that in land casinos. The point is that the problem of compulsive gambling touches both virtual and live gaming. They did not hide behind a finger, stating that the problem of compulsive gambling is very serious and must be tackled. With the right means, though. Prohibiting is not useful at all, instead it needs to understand the dynamics that underpin ludopathy, as well as the development of specific knowledge that is able to counteract this phenomenon. Yes to control, not prohibition Because, after all, playing is nice, as long as you do not get exaggerated. Game has been part of human culture since the dawn of time: it has become a necessity, a vent to vent, also a way to communicate and socialize, as well as to have fun. Everything is looking for a balance that allows you to keep in control any abnormal behaviors, even without completely closing the gambling market. From this point of view, the work of the Autonomous Administration of State Monopolies seems to go in the right direction. Probably it would also be a more decisive intervention by the governing bodies, but unfortunately they deal with the game only when there is a chance to beat the cash.
