Your title says one thing, your post says another thing. Anyways if you mean how to stop yourself from getting addicted to gambling, the first step is to realize and stop gambling before it's too late. Whenever you feel to gamble, try doing something else like something more productive. Try to get professional help as soon as possible. And if you mean how to spot if someone is addicted to gambling, it's quite simple. The person will try to gamble whenever he gets an opportunity. He gambles even if he is broke using other peoples money and can not live without gambling.
There are two thing you need to remember firstly people who are playing for fun, secondly people who are playing for money. People who are playing fun can easily quit gambling, People who are playing for money this type of people will not quit because there here to make money even though they lost money, still they will find ways to make money through gambling.
It's simple. You just have to ask the people around you if they think that you're a gambling addict. You should know yourself best but if you don't, then the people around you are the ones that knows you the second best. Ask them if they notice you just gambling in front of your computer all of the time and if their answer is yes, then you should believe them even if you think that you're not spending that much time gambling. You might not notice it by yourself but somebody else does.
For me addicted gambler is those who cant control themselves anymore and because of that the relationship between his family is also affected negatively. so much losses yet cant stop playing. if thats the case, they need professional help to be able to overcome addiction. i am once addicted but i managed to change myself with that bad moment in my life, support of the family is a must.
Yes,I agree with you.A gamblers connected with gambling automatically and finally become so addicted to the game and the hope to win but in reality it not so easy as they wish at all.It can also be difficult to find out if you have a gambling problem also difficult to overcome from it.Gambling addiction a problem which if you have failed to control it you will suffer a long run.

If you:
1. Can't think of anything but gambling most of the time;
2. If you would rather gamble than go out with your gf or so;
3. If you eat mostly behind your computer screen, gambling at the same time;
4. If you think of money mostly as of opportunity to gamble more;
5. If you make plans about how to spend your future winnings ...
Then you are most likely a gambling addict.

I think that usually a guy which play games for a long time, risk to became a gambler addicted. Which method you use for stop plaiyng when you understand that you are near to became addicted?
For example, i don't play a lot or for long time (i play games spot during my free time), so i have no idea about, but i trade forex all day and when i had a significant loss i usually turn off my Pc and i go out for a drink , just for not run behind loss.
well I think time is not the problem it is the player's greed if he can not control him/herself,For example, i don't play a lot or for long time (i play games spot during my free time), so i have no idea about, but i trade forex all day and when i had a significant loss i usually turn off my Pc and i go out for a drink , just for not run behind loss.
then I can say that he have a gambling addiction and if he can gamble all of his/her money then I totally would say that he/she is addicted to it.

Imo there's nothing wrong in playing for a long time as long as you can control yourself to stop gambling anytime then you don't have to worry about it.For your question I usually watch some movie or anime to avoid gambling, sometimes make myself busy to avoid thinking about gambling.
Addict gamblers were the one who realize the true factors about long suffering and finally becomes a pro gambler. Addiction is a simple thing. You place on particular sports and if won lucky, if failed he tries to compensate by placing big bets. This when goes beyond limit or his affordability the problem of addiction gets started and everything gets collapsed.
An addicted gambler to me is some one who is on the losing end because you cant be winning and I will regard you as addicted because that is just normal for people through gambling or any other means to be addicted to making money. So, for someone who is losing every time then its not normal then that is an addicted user who will be losing and putting the economic status of friends and family in shambles..
You can't base addiction from their win streak or lose streak. It is not about the statistics of a gambler that makes them addicts. It's all about how frequent and how obsessed they are in it that they cannot stop themselves anymore. An addict wants to play every single second of his life, that's what defines them.

it's true, I play gambling when first beginning to know about bitcoin. I play quite a long time and get addicted to about 1-2 years. but after that I started to get bored with gambling that does not give you a good advantage. so currently only play when having free money And consider gambling as entertainment.

i don't agree with this. it doesn't matter if you gamble for 1 second or 1 month. you become a gambling addict if your personality is an addict's personality.
if not you can gamble for a long time, manage your money and limit the risks while having fun with this game and never lose more money that you can afford to lose.
but if someone has an addictive personality he is going to become a gambling addict the first bet he makes but he wouldn't know it until he has lost lots of money.

If you are able to stop at willing at any time then you can stay calm that you are not addicted.For example, i don't play a lot or for long time (i play games spot during my free time), so i have no idea about, but i trade forex all day and when i had a significant loss i usually turn off my Pc and i go out for a drink , just for not run behind loss.
Reducing the gambling hours would be the practical solution for gambling addictions. To reduce, we must able to stop at preferences and only for some specified time we must start gambling. If you are able to gamble in a controlled manner then chances for becoming addicted is very less.

I do the same thing as you did, when I lost to gambling or a loss of trade I turn off the pc and do what makes me happy so that it can refresh my brain that was emotional, at least I did not do anything stupid like gambling in a state can't control myself
Good to know your strategy, i'll try this. I'll do something to refresh my brain when i lose in gambling or trading because i usually greedy for that activity, try to get back my money and final result i'll lose all my bankroll.
You should one one very bad thing to do in gambling is trying to recover back your losses. Because gambling is not made to make a money but it is made to give you fun and enjoyment so you should come to gambling when you need some fun and must gamble always with some small fixed amount to avoid big losses.

i think i can stop whenever i want because if i see my money is going to dry, i will stop the games and leave the sites and maybe in the next week i will come back again with another games. but i am agree that to stop from playing gambling is sometimes difficult moreover if we are winning the games with big money.
That's good that you know when to stop this is truly a good to know when to stop because this will save you the heartaches of not getting back your money. Another thing to do is to remember that gambling is not a profiteering activity but take it as gambling only so just gamble and don't think about profits.

i'm not gambling everyday and only gamble if i have free money to spend because before starting gambling i realize that gambling not for earn money and i usually have limit amount of money to lost during my gamble and when i do gamble and already reach those amount usually i would not continue it and turn off my pc and so far it does working well for me because untill now even i gamble but i'm not addicted from that
It is good that you are not addicted to gamling. There are many people just like you, who have a lot of strategy in order to limit gambling but they can not over come their feelings. Therefore, sadly, they keep gambling and pass their limitation. And as the results, they are addicted to gambling. You must have a strong mind in order to stop gambling like that. Jump to:
