Very few user himself realizes that they were addicted. Majority of the users who are on the way towards getting addicted knows their situation, but some holds control and stay within limits and avoid addiction while the rest just search alternative ways to win rather than the elements to get away from this.

Actually, I subscribe to your opinion. I think that your words have rational grain names in relation to the dependence on gambling. The fact is that a gambler never recognizes his dependence on gambling and, equivalently as a drug addict does not recognize his dependence on drugs.

I also found this description quite accurate and in line with my own experience and observations. But i wonder, can you stay in control for years but suddenly become an addict?

How can you determine whether you are addicted to gambling?

There are many signs which shows the addiction. If you can't stay away from the gambling, if you start feeling uncomfortable or uneasy while staying away from the game and if you badly wants to play the game at any cost, then its a sign of addictions.Agreed that, people around the gambler could see the addiction signs easily than the gambler itself.

Exactly, I'd like to add that Addiction literally means having the motivation to repeatedly do something and so if you find yourself always trying to gamble even if you're out of money then it's a sign you're getting addicted and this can only be corrected by forming a counter attitude which wil occupy your gambling times.

If a person can not live a day without gambling or can not stop and lose all the money, then it already clearly means that there is a serious dependence on this kind of entertainment.

The topic has been discussed many times here and there addiction of gambling is too hard to control or leave. Once a gambler get into this, he'll not hesitate to sell anything to gamble more and more.

Maybe when you keep losing and you cannot control yourself, you set a limit but you were not able to follow it.
You are already being enslave with gambling and your worst enemy is yourself, when you are addicted you should quit when it's still early because the longer you become addicted the more it is hard to cure, you need other people's help to cure addiction and best to approach your family in that matter.

I think it won't be that hard to detect if you're addicted already or not. You'll feel it. If you're always thinking about gambling, if.you're considering leaving work to play, if it seems that your day isn't complete without making bets, then you are an addicted gambler.

I don't know. Maybe when it starts getting problems to your life, or at least when you are spending more time in gambling than on anything else.

How can you determine whether you are addicted to gambling?

Very simple, you can determinate it when you play everyday, when you win a big sum and cant stop, when you spend your salary thinking that you can win
I know lot of people that have this problem, because gambling addiction is a problem

I don't think it is simple, because as you said it is a problem for addicted gambler than we can't say that it has simple solution. It is impossible for addicted gambler to follow the determination about gambling and left the addiction in a day. But little bit it is possible that if addicted gamble really want to leave from addiction gambling then he should determinate every time to start the game and till the end he should control ourself and follow the rules which help him to left the addiction.

I think you'll know when you are addicted to gambling when you can't stop gambling, whether you win or loose in the game you still play it and would want to win back your losses. You gamble almost everyday and when you get to a point you don't have any money to play, you then decide to sell or make a collateral with your house or car or anything you could think of just to play the game. I know someone who did this though, he sold his car just to gamble.

Exactly, every gambler who spends a minute or two reflecting will definitely know whether he is addicted or not. It's no rocket science and per your daily activities of gambling and effort of recovering your previous losses.

I find myself impulsively going to a dice table or poker table and getting tilted to lose money. That is definitely one of the signs of being addicted to gambling.

Other than that, anytime you feel like going to gamble at random times should be a clear sign.

impulses are natural, it's just part of being human to have such impulses to do things you enjoy. I think your definition of addiction is either loose or classifying addiction to gambling as a different type altogether. personally, I'd mark a person as an addict (to anything, really) if they were consciously making the decision to pursue their addiction at the cost of something that may not be worth the trade-off or is a basic necessity. for example, if someone didn't pay their electricity bill to use the money at a casino, I'd consider them an addict.

How can you determine whether you are addicted to gambling?

When a person is addicted to gambling there are intances that they do something that will fill the neccessity they feel because for them a day won't last without gambling. That person will always find a way in order to fill their longing for gambling either steal, pilfer or borrow money. They also trade for their belongings or possessions to get money and use it for gambling. They always return for that specific gambling place, because it is a pleasure for them that makes them complete. Usually gambling addicts are lost, because after they spent money they go back to nothing that's the reason why they commit crime.

Tired of answering the same question i'll just link the old thread. Someone already asked the same question before you can find it here in this thread including my answer. I doubt the author of this thread won't even read this.

I am here to read the thread. I am sick of gambling. my friend put me into this. now I have lost of amount but still doing gambling.

For your mistakes don't blame others because in this world you will see many good things and bad things. God has given us a thinking capacity so you should think before doing something. You friend might have introduced to these gambling just for fun but you took it seriously and lost your money for that you can't blame your friend. At least stop now and move on with other things instead of finding ways to get back your money again from gambling.

That reply alone sounds like your getting hooked in to gambling it could only become worse in the future. I want to give an advice but I know it won't help because the only person who can help you now is yourself.

If it's all you think about and you constantly thinking of ways to get money so that you can gamble it and you always chasing your losses with money you cannot afford to lose then you might have an addiction problem. If you can control the spend you might still be ok. If you asking if it's ok or not then it's probably not ok and you are an addict. Doesn't mean you shouldn't gamble it just means sort it out and lmiit it so when if you bet wildly you won't busy beyond recovery.
