Gambling addiction can occur when a person feels that they are in financial ruin and can only solve their problems by gambling what little they have in an attempt to get a large sum of money.Unfortunately, this almost always leads to a cycle in which the gambler feels they must win back their losses, and the cycle goes on until the person is forced to seek rehabilitation to break their habit.

If a person experiences a feeling of discomfort when there is no opportunity to gamble, then this is the first most serious sign of dependence. Many still try to set limits and say that they can control themselves, but one day without a game will be deadly.

It is already considered as severe gambling addiction if you do come into that point on where you are already compromising your health and not only that you do risk your financial status too.
You can really determine that you are addicted if you are still on your little control because if you are completely a gambling addict you wont really recognize your self to be one of them.

Well there is some way to find out, click on my signature start playing little amount bets, if you can stop while you are ahead or loosing you are safe. Then if you want play a sport game and can stop yourself from playing that means you got some self control. I am a compulsive gambler but I learn to control myself and that's why I am cool with it.

I think someone is addicted to gambling if someone keeps coming back and cant control by other people and himself in playing gambling. Mostly a person who lose a big amount of money in gambling repent to do and play bitcoin but for an addict person he will keep coming back and back again in gambling. Maybe that person has a lot of money and he/she does not know how to spend it for it is many. Too much in gambling and in any thing is also bad. Being addict in gambling has a 10%  chance to make us rich and has a 90% chance to make you poor and take your profit away from you.

Good question. I for a long time determined that my addiction to gambling is determined by a certain amount that I can spend.

Actually we will feel it if we addicted to Gambling automatically. Especially if we want to stop gambling, if we are addicted to gambling, there will be opposition in the heart, one side wants to stop and one other side wants to keep putting bets. It will automatically we feel.

Based on my own experience. I used to be a Gambling addict, at first I haven't noticed it. I engage myself in gambling at a young age, I was a Student when I first held poker chip and play my first game. My friend was the one who taught me about poker and eventually, the one who invited me to play. My first game is so lit I won my first poker game (Believe it or not), They call it the beginner's luck. That triggered me to play more up to the point that I almost lost my supposed Tuition fee. My friends noticed some changes in me, at first they notice that every time I have coins I tend to do the poker chip shuffle (I didn't even notice it, All I think is I'm just playing with my coins), I always talk about poker and any kind of stuff related to Gambling, I lied to them just to go to a poker tournament just to watch and sometimes play, I became uncomfortable whenever they are trying to say something against poker, I developed short tempered, and last I ask for money just to play. It was really hard for me to resist playing poker, I was in the state in which my life without poker is meaningless.

That's how bad I am before I started to rehabilitate myself. There are a lot of ways to determine if you are addicted to gambling or onto something in general:
1. Your day isn't complete without you engaging in that particular game or etc.
2. Developed mannerism
3. Uncomfortable or you always think of that particular game
4. Sudden Breakdown
5. Uncontrollable visit into casino and playing
6. Became too greedy

When I knew gambling for the first time, I was dislike it's gameplay but for somehow , I'm start to deposit because I saw many promo , fun gameplay , and winners
And finally, I won 0.09 with 0.02 initial deposit. It's feel amazing to win big so I keep betting again and again until I've loss it all

We can determine whether  we are addicted in one gambling if we cant control our self to spend our time to do that things.

Human has a freewill to do what we want to do in our life, but  we have a control on what we want to do in our everyday life, sometimes even we want to stop doing something but we cant do it because we always doing that things and we looking for that things always.

You over did it a little bit. Nobody is gonna die if skips gambling for one day. However, if we say that he would keep on thinking about gambling on daily basis, then we won't be wrong. Definitely, he would be a gambling addict; a pure gambler soul would be residing inside him.

When you don’t want to miss a day going to gamble. You can’t stop playing it in any case. Many times you have money, you gamble. Many times you don’t have money but still you just borrowed it form anyone else if you arrange it by any means. That is the point when you must know that you have been addicted to this bad game.
