Everyone likes to go to a casino here and then. But unfortunately, there are those who cannot visit a casino simply for pure leisure. Gambling can turn from a hobby or a leisure activity into a serious addiction problem. Many compare the rush of gambling to the euphory of cocaine, as it can also become an addition.

Online gambling brought casinos closer than ever before, and the problem of addiction in the world of gambling is a serious social illness. There are a few signs to look for when starting to gamble online to avoid problems of addiction. So, do you know if you have a problem with gambling? Here's an interesting article about this subject.

There is something you don't understand: gaming does not lead to addiction, it is a man's greed that leads to addiction, but the majority of addicted gamblers are not prepared for that talk because they are well aware of their problem. Cocaine and gambling are two distinct entities that do not require comparison, cocaine is a chemical element that people abuse and cause instability in the body, however, gambling does not require you to take any chemical substances, it is a risk that you as a player understand that you will lose or profit, but, the moment you begin to believe that gambling is the only way to escape poverty, you have allowed greed to take over you as a person.

I wouldn't say that I'm at the "addicted" level, I just simply enjoy the experience. Honestly anyway you enjoy gambling is fine as long as it doesn't negatively affect your mentality and your finances in life imo. If those aspects were affected then I'd consider one to be pretty addicted to it. E.g. if a rich person were just to gamble away every day I wouldn't necessarily think it was addiction, I'd only consider it if it was actually harming you but if you have the capability to enjoy it to that level then I say feel free to do so.

I mostly do sports nowadays though so it's less of a gamble and more of a thinking game for me though.

No, I don't always want to play gambling every day. So it seems that I am not a gambling addict. But sometimes I do visit bet sites to relieve fatigue trying my luck. Since first getting to know crypto, there are indeed many platforms that facilitate it, such as the campaign here. I sometimes visit it, using a little money to play multyplay or roll. So I haven't thought about being able to be a professional, making a lot of money from gambling. Because my original goal was to just get rid of boredom.

Gambling is indeed an activity that has an addictive effect, addiction to winning and getting a lot of money, addiction to challenging gambling situations, and other addictions. That's why, before deciding to get involved in the world of gambling, it is mandatory for us to be aware of who we are and how much money we have so that we can control ourselves so we don't get caught in a circle of addiction. Because if you are addicted, it will be very difficult to control or stay away. Luckily I never experienced it and hopefully never will. What's more, I realized that my abilities, both financially and performing in gambling, were very limited. This self-awareness is very important.

I think I gamble in a proper way. I only spend a little money, I don't always gamble every day, and I can control my emotion during playing the games. I don't see a sign that I am addicted to gambling. I've read the article you stated above, there are no signs of a problem with my gambling, so I think I gamble in a healthy way. Not every gambler gets a problem with addiction, only those who don't care about addiction who probably get the addiction problem. As far as they are aware of the bad impacts of addiction, I am sure they will find a way to avoid addiction.

Not everyone goes to casino hall, either online or offline, going to casino hall or site is by choice. And for those who can't go to casino hall or visit casino site for leisure purpose are going there for income earning. Yes of course, some people have taken gambling as a hobby that can't live without. And anyone who cannot stay without gambling automatically becomes as an addict to gambling.
As for me online gambling brought more games to the casino gambling field. Offline casinos and gambling Halls are also classer to the people but online casinos added more games to their platforms.

I don't know if I should categorize myself as an addict or not in this case because I really see from the conditions and articles you shared I might be included in it but what makes me doubt myself as a gambler is because I don't open gambling every day for this first in gambling, most of what I do is only with sportsbooks, not with others, although it does seem that this makes it seem as if I don't admit that I am an addict, but to say I am a gambler, it is true that I am a gambler.

fortunately I was cured of my gambling addiction when I was young. remembering the past, before I almost got fired from the school for using school money for gambling and selling my mother's necklace gold for gambling, that was my worst period

Gambling is addictive, so if you feel you have a tendency to become a gambling addict, you should immediately consult a psychiatrist so that it doesn't get worse

Seriously?! You're that young to become addicted in gambling and the school has to kick you out from their institution. Luckily, on my part, I was able to hold still on that younger days of my life.
I'm able to gamble and at the same time it was just maintained. I guess what helped me is that because I was still young, got no money, got no source of money to gamble. That situation I have been in truly helped me at least to naturally control me with my finances and gambling activities, not that addicted but still a gambler.

This is indeed an extreme condition for a young person to achieve or commit out these things on early period or age which does indicate extreme addiction towards gambling.
This is why parenting and guidance do really plays a big role when raising up our children.Nowadays, youth is really that exposed into different things which it would really be that
cant be avoided for them to see up these things but with proper guidance and awareness on where their parents been teaching into them then possibilities
that they would be simply be able to avoid those things earlier and would be able to avoid possible problems ahead.

People will deny that they are addicted to gambling until they are cured, they are aware of their addiction, and yet they cannot take the right action to cure themselves because they have an urge that they cannot stop, I will deny I'm addicted to gambling because people will see that I'm sick and need help from professional something that my ego cannot accept.

True, the first thing a gambling addict do when asked if they are addicted is to deny them. They will rather think that they are professional gamblers than addicted gamblers. As long as there is no self-admission, a gambling addict will never accept that he is addicted to gambling. Though I do not think that the reason why gambling addicts deny that they are indeed addicted to gambling is that they are ashamed of being labeled sick but I think it is because they don't want people to look at them with disgust and discriminate against them because many cultures are not fond of gambling.

I am not a person that likes to gamble in offline casinos but I admit that I got tempted to try online gambling and got hooked on them back in time but I slowly cure my addiction all by myself. Checking the early signs of it is helpful and we must correct it before it gets worse. As they, prevention is better than cure.

Well, it is good to hear that you are able to control your self back again. It really needs a strong will to get out of the grasp of gambling addiction but you are lucky you are able to acknowledge the early signs of gambling addiction.

The reason why gambling is addicting is because it is fun and there is a possibility that one can multiply his money in a short period of time. Same with cocaine and other stuffs which has a great effect on us, we often come back to experience that kind of pleasure again but too much of that thing is not good anymore and it can already cause a problem in the overall health of a person.

As external observers it is hard to gauge the mind of a problem gambler, as they have likely gotten to the point where it is part of their psyche and it would take a lot more than breaking down the signs to point that out to them. Gambling addicts will often default to denial of the problem first, as facing the truth can often be painful and hard to accept. The mind will often try to steer towards happier ideas and try to rationalize away the accusation. In the most extreme cases you are trying to change the whole persona of a person and break deeply ingrained habits, which can often only done when people truly hit rock bottom - at that point they can sometimes admit the problem which is the first step to addressing it.

I am a gambler but an occasional one, I am happy because I am not an addict, though they've been times I gambled away too much than normal which lead me to slight anger and depression, but I've never tried to let me mind loose so as to avoid any form of addiction in gambling.
One way people easily get addicted in gambling is by gambling carelessly, that is not allowing the gambling activity to register in the sub-conscious mind and actively keeping oneself in check, this is why many people don't get to know when they actually got addicted, not until it becomes a big problem for them.

Doesnt need for you to have some psychiatrist directly considering these things arent cheap since you could eventually solve addiction on your own but there are people who do really fail up on doing so.

This is why it do really ends up on a disaster since they dont really have any choice at all, if they are fully aware that they are already doing things which isnt supposedly to be done.

Addiction could really mess up someones life which it would really be devastating if things becomes even more worst overtime.Playing gambling isnt really bad but
everything should really be on moderation so that you wont be finding yourself to be that addicted.

A few years ago when I started with Online Poker gambling, I was getting obsessed by it and without even noticing it I was getting addicted. I started gambling poker over at Pokerstarts and was pretty successful from the beginning. I could actually make some money but it wasn't enough for the time wasted in the game.

I would come home from work straight to the computer to play poker tournaments, which, as you know, is very time-consuming. I would stay hours on playing and wasn't getting any dinner or any sleep. And this for just a few coppers. Sometimes you would stay on the money, but other times I would simply waste a lot of time and get no prize. This went on and on, and even with some winnings my wife was getting worried because I wouldn't go out and on the weekends and stay home doing the same thing all over again.

This went on and on until it started to affect my personal life and my wife even threatened to leave me. This was when I saw I had a problem with gambling and was able to walk away: For me, it was simple to get away as I am a very active guy and do a lot of sports, so I took skate and surf and left gambling behind to fight for my family.

So, long story short, I was about to lose my family because of gambling but was able to recognise the signs before it actually happened. Today, I still play poker online but I know when to stop and how precious is my time, so I can actually live with it without having any negative impact.

Your experience is our experience. In short, I know PokerStars maybe 10 years ago maybe even more, I don't know exactly what year it was. however, pokerstars already exists and is one of the top ones. we have experience like you share, even we have fiat based local online poker casino. for now, online poker seems to be no longer as popular as it was 5-10 years ago. I can't even remember, when was the last time I played online poker.

apart from it all, as I posted before. there are many gamblers who do not realize that their hobby has led to addiction, and I am one of them. however, armed with experience and better understanding. in the end, I can cope and have better self-control. I think it's very important to have an understanding, and if you have a good understanding. the hobby of gambling will not interfere with your activities or work routine, because you know when it's time to have fun and when it's time to stop. it seems what I'm saying is a bit of an exaggeration, but that's what I did.

Gambling is a fun activity, and something that is fun in nature is hard to give up. but I have to remain responsible, by budgeting money that is ready to lose.

I am not and I take extra care not to fall into any kind of addiction whatsoever.
I am sure I don't have a problem, because I have only partaken in gambling in a social context (mostly with family, during trips) and when comes to online casinos, it is not common for me to roll dices very often. I mostly like to try new platforms that catch my attention and new games, I try not to see gambling as a way to make money, personally.

Here's an interesting article about this subject.

There was a time where I allocated my monthly funds in order to satisfy my gambling cravings in a certain online game. While it is not considered as a traditional gambling game (e.g. slots, cards, etc.), there was still that element of risk where a certain percentage is needed in order to win the top prize.

Maybe the problem of online gambling being associated with some online games is the exclusivity of the rewards. For example, a 1% of getting a certain rare item in-game would entail a person to spend more in order to get that specific item. I guess if you consider this as "gambling", then you may call me a gambling addict as I very much prefer to spend money in online games.

Been a gamble addicted can be controlled if you really understand the concept of gambling, because gambling is something i have seen so far that when you excessively practice it, it will make you to be into the system of gambling consistently, which i do emphasis on that gambling addicted can be controlled a relocation of environment, online gambling if you are addicted to it, it will be very difficult for someone to control it's, because it's something you operate with your handset, and the way you can be out of online gambling addicted through having serious activity that will take your time.

Maybe your wife has had enough. Most wives stick to their husbands until they don't like them anymore and there are reasons for it. If gambling already affects your life, you may not have given enough money to your wife to run the household. Not enough attention to her or to the kids too.
And I hate to say this. Just think of it like I'm your paranoid self. Does she have someone else?

Anyway, the truth is not all of us want to get out of gambling. One could be in denial but addiction is real.

As we already know that excess of everything is bad, and the same applies to gambling. If you are gambling too much, you are not doing any good to yourself and to your near and dear ones. Gambling addicts spend all their money in gambling and do not care about their families and children.
Due to this, it is almost impossible for the wife of an addicted gambler to spend her life with such a loser. It's not about that addicted gamblers will waste all their money on gambling, they will also spend all their time in gambling and would not care for their wife.

It is rare for gambling addicts to talk about their addiction or complain about it as a problem. Addict takes their addiction as a lifestyle that seems to be okay with them. When addicts notice of their addiction is when it is causing serious problems that can harm they have no choice than to stop gambling.

Now that gambling can be made online and anonymously makes it even worse to detect an addicted gambler because they won't say anything regarding to it or publicized it, how do you do counsel a gamblers who didn't reveal their problems? but for the addicted gamblers those that uses physical outlets, shops, casinos etc these categories of gamblers problems can be put under check once their gambling activities is detected, I also gamble precisely soccer bettings but I don't take it serious just for fun based on my knowledge and ability to analyze soccer matches, I never get addicted to it so as to avoid problems such as anxiety and emotions mentioned in the article.
