It is important because the game owner or so-called bookie will make adjustments in such a way that you almost won the game you played, further enticing you to make you obsessed about playing the game and winning.
Based on research by University of Nevada and University of Ohio by 2009, someone can be addicted to online gambling because of its practicality. Compared to the conventional gambling in casinos, online gambling can be done at home which can deceive the brain into thinking the gambling activity is just another part of your everyday routine.
The impact of the stimulation makes online gambling players not to think twice for their gambling activity, even after the addiction gives them financial loss. The behavioral change makes online gamblers intensify their gambling, betting aggressively and impulsively.
