With online sports betting, people have access to stake games on the go. They don't have to find their way to a physical location to bet. Do you think that the rise of online sports betting is making people addicted to sports betting?
 
I think yes! Because online gambling is easily accessible than offline gambling. An online gambler need his phone and internet connection tocstart gsmbling. Moreover, online gambling is more personal without anybody knowing what the individual is up to. In offline, people's response and reaction can detect a gambler from going to gambling on constant basis.
 
I think so as online betting wasn't around years ago. The ease of access gives people easier ways to gamble than ever before.
 
Yes, online betting may surely pose more risks of developing an addiction because it is easier to get on because it's very accessible. The fact that one is able to bet anywhere as long as they have a phone and internet connection, contributed to this fact.
 
Once people know that they have the opportunity to bet anytime and anywhere, they will surely focus on doing it often. That is what online betting has ended up doing for a lot of people. They now bet more even when they are not winning a lot of bets.
