To be honest the amount of addicts are growing by the day. It's not because the casino's give away free money but because games are designed in such a way to lure you in more and more and more then you could ever afford.
BTG is a good example of that, very volatile but ruining at the same time. It's why i despise online gaming more and more, dirty tricks of online casino's, the stalling of payments, documents, you name it.
I'm sticking with good casino's online as well; but to be honest i see games being changed, max bets being limited now, gamble features being removed, games that do not play as they 'used' to after an update, or change anything at all without even informing the player. And you only figure that out that it's changed after you bashed a pretty amount of money on that.
There's just too many casino's, one with more aggresive marketing then the other, sending emails right before christmass, tossing in bonusses to make people play even more then their budget allows them to. The amount of self exclusion's is growing proportionally. Anyone doubting this should take a good look around on the net with threads people ruining themself.
I am not saying landbased is any better; you could lose just as hard there too; just know your game, machine or slot or (table) game, and you might get ahead if your smart and disciplined. That's all i have to say about it. A online casino by now does'nt give you square or equal odds compared to landbased. Yes a few might call themself lucky for grabbing a big big big win, but the rest is just suckering cows who are bringing the money in in on steady basis for providers and casino's.
