Land-Based Problem Gambling Solutions

Though online casino problem gambling is a growing trend around the world in all of the countries that allow internet gambling activities, land-based gambling also has addictive gambling statistics that may addressed more easily than once thought. Just last year Australia passed anti-smoking laws that now may be having a different affect than initially anticipated. Now that gamblers can no longer smoke inside of licensed land-based casinos (obviously this ban does not affect online casinos), more and more players are reducing their problem gambling habits with smoke breaks.

The speculation about the smoking ban curbing the problem gambling statistics is just that at this point. But all signs seem to point out that problem gambling is in a downswing (for the land-based industry, not the online casino sector), and the only recent change is last year’s smoking ban. Nathan Beel is the Coodinator for Wide Bay Gambling Health Service, and he notes that heavy smokers now have to take more breaks from gambling.

If the smoking ban is in fact the root of the decrease in Australian gamblers, then it could act as a great technique for other countries. Problem gambling in the online casino industry has been a huge focus lately in the global internet gabling community, but new effective techniques for decreasing problem gambling in any sector of the industry is welcome.
