Not yet but if you keep doing this, it will lead to that situation. Now, you better think about what is good for you and what will be the impact of being alone...If I were you, as early as possible you must know how to control your gambling habit, don't wait to fall into addiction. Of course, you can still gamble as it was not harmful to us but be sure that you set limits. What goes wrong is if we gamble too much and compromise our finances but if we are still able to manage it, well, it is just fun and entertainment.

Maybe not for you, but that's just a defense against being considered an addict. Gambling addiction is not always aggressive, it usually has an uncertain time span, this can be the first step towards addiction. Just from your activities, after you lose once and still feel the need to make another deposit, it means that there is already an addiction/addiction factor without you realizing it or not, that's a fact. Try to be a little productive in your spare time by gardening, farming, or just watering the plants in front of the house. The point is, come back to yourself and commit to not always wasting your free time gambling, because if you keep wasting it the next day it means you are already in the phase......

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with you, after all it is your money, it's just that self-control needs to be trained, remember this is not advice but based on experience to remind each other, especially me personally.

I think doing this once a day to lose only 20 dollars is not that huge. Yeah it may be called mini addiction but considering side effects you only spend couple of minutes to feel better and deposited low amounts to your account. I think people should eventually realize gambling is for fun unless you are professional so you should know and accept you are gambling to decrease your boredom. I personally only bet/gamble to make football matches more enjoyable to watch (as I bet for one side etc).

I don't think you are becoming addicted, you play because you are bored not because you have an urge that is out of control, you are still good and okay but if your deposits keep adding up and you are spending more time to the point that this is all you do then yes you are on your way to addiction and it's only a matter of time before you just wake up that you are deep into it.

Gambling addiction has denial attached to it, you seldom can find a guy who is a gambler who will admit that he is a gambling addict, they will keep denying it and will defend their addiction telling people that they are also winning and recovering their losses when in fact their losses are so huge that they are already using and losing their savings.

OP, you are very far from addiction because you are not a regular gambler and you gamble responsible, and that is why you are worried that you funded your wallet twice which hasn't happened before like you said. People that are addicts are people that gamble often and even when they don't have money to gamble, they go to the extend of borrowing money to gamble or lying to get money that they will use to chase their loss. I will only say that you were enjoying the game and you wanted the entertainment to last for a while that was why you funded your gambling wallet the second time.

Considering the situation you mentioned it wouldn't be correct to say that you are addicted to gambling if you experience this situation only once but if this situation repeats constantly it is possible to easily say that you are addicted to gambling. When this situation occurs once, it may be due to momentary psychology or boredom but as I mentioned if it continues frequently it will be possible to say that it is a gambling addiction.

When I think about the time when I was addicted to gambling, I remember that the days when I deposited money into my account over and over again were actually somewhat involuntary just to win back the money I had lost. As I mentioned, if this feeling occurs frequently and you continue to gamble by frequently transferring money to your account it will undoubtedly be possible to say that you are a gambling addict but if it is a one-time thing it isn't right to say that you are a gambling addict.

It doesn't necessarily mean an addiction but the temptation to win back your lost money which is very common in the gene of the human system and also it could possibly lead to addiction if you don't put yourself a brake like what you did after the second deposit and realized that you did something that you aren't supposed.

Just twice you funded your account and you already start feeling like an addicted gambler. When I started gambling my first four games on my bet slip played. I started playing more often to win.But the next 5 bets in a row lost. Nevertheless I continued gambling but within this period I felt like giving up. Before I could realize my next game played that was when I started getting more interested in gambling. Before you can get addicted is when you have more interested in winning even if you’ve been having some loss. That consistency to win back your lost money is what can actually lead to addiction.

I wouldn't conclude that you are becoming an addict because it is your first time but I can say you are chasing your lose. The reason I won't consider you an addict is that addict gamble whether they are losing or not, in other words it is not only when they are chasing loses that they gamble but they just can't do without gambling.

However, if you consistently have this kind of chasing attitude then you may as well enter into such addiction even when you never know because it is such factor that gets someone to be addicted.

Nah, relax! You're thinking so much about addiction. You were just frustrated for not getting anything for the amount you funded your account. Addiction is far more severe than that because it is the urge that's pushing you to do gambling and that's even before you started gambling.
I guess a lot of casual gamblers have done the same thing at some certain point, especially when you found yourself with nothing to do. Addicted gamblers would usually drain out their bank account without any hesitation.

No, you are not addicted yet. But if you continue to exceed your gambling limit or budget consecutively, then it will call for concern. Almost every gambler at one point or the other has faced this issue before. Whether you are gambling for the money or just for fun, stick to your budget and time limit. If you do not regulate your gambling habit, it will grow into an addiction.

I agree with you if he didn't regulate is gambling habit it will grow into an addiction, but since the OP realised immediately after recharging is account two times that means he is no addicted, but I will advise you to set a target time for your gambling for you not to be addicted and also your gambling should be considered as a fun not for money if not it will grow to that instead, because when you lose your money you will like to get it back and that is how you keep involving yourself gradually till you are addicted.

Depends on how severe you do make out those deposits. Making those things in a single day on a month or something that once in a blue moon then it isnt something solid that we could really say
that you are already addicted but better not to make yourself that confident yet these are the early signs that you are really that impulsive and cant make out such control on doing gambling.
There are really moments or times on which there's that urge on playing gambling and there are really moments which our ego do really make out some kind of playing or doesnt really get
satisfied on the time that we do lose money and this is why it would really be that resulting into further deposits which this is one of the earliest behavior on which a certain
gambling addict have, take control of it if you dont like to mess up.

I don't think so, it comes from you that you don't always gamble and you don't fund twice a day after you lose. I think that's normal because it seems like you're just excited about gambling and you're probably enjoying it even if you lose like that. You have a budget for gambling and that's the only funding you have once, you just played too much without realizing it but that doesn't mean you're addicted. There's nothing wrong with overdoing it even a little as long as you're still in control and the important thing is that you're enjoying yourself. I do that sometimes too and we both don't gamble much.

You were only seeking entertainment and to have fun probably because you were bored with that which you were already doing and this I can consider as almost normal with almost every one seeking further entertainment after been bored with that which they were been entertained with.

I don't think you are addicted yet but then it seems there is a tendency you could some day if you you purse your losses, if your sole aim was for fun then if you have funded and lost I think you should stop and don't fund any further that way you are knowing when the fun stops, because beyond that you may begin to pursue your losses and may gradually be addicted unknowingly, but for now I don't think you are yet but may me if you continue.

Should I say you fund it effortlessly without thinking twice and that's because you enjoy gambling as an entertainment and fun. If you really are skeptical of how much you spend into betting, I believe you will have a second thought before making that decision because you will even think of what will happen if you lose the money you deposited into the gambling platform.

Did you have thought of making this post if you win a substantial amount from your two deposit? I think its a norm for gamblers to bet when they have free money to let go. I believe the 10 dollar deposits you made twice where money you can let's go else you will not make that 2 deposits. I believe even now that I'm replying your post, you might have done another deposit just to play one or two games in hope to get some profits, that's gambling for you.

Relax and enjoy gambling if you have the fund and if you think you are over doing it, take a rest or maybe you change your strategy of playing. There is loss but you should have days of joy that give you good return from your plays.

I think that is what happens to many gamblers when they deposit some money and start gambling. But suddenly the money ran out, and they decided to deposit the money again, but this time maybe more than the previous one, but again they lost. It has already used up the amount of money they deposited that day, and we don't seem to realize it if we deposited the money twice into our gambling account. This is where we have to remain self-aware that when we deposit money for the first time that day, we know that we really want to gamble. Whatever happens, we will not deposit another amount of money because it might exceed the limit we have set. Again, this is about limiting ourselves in depositing money into our gambling account so that we don't exceed that limit.

If you think the game you are playing is just for fun, you shouldn't need to add another deposit so it looks like you want to recover the losses you experienced, if at the start you just want to have fun with just $10 you can look for casino games with smaller bets. So you can add a longer duration and it's impossible for you not to win a penny because every game has wins and losses, even though losses are still dominant.

Basically you have to understand that the dealer will always win against you, so don't think about winning when you want to have fun by gambling, just enjoy the game when the $10 is gone, just leave it and look for other activities to divert your mind or pressure to try to recover the loss. , it won't be good in the end, BTW regarding your question about whether you are addicted or not, it can't be called an addiction if you haven't felt bankrupt and poor because of consecutive losses and you continue to play. Grin

Your idea that real addiction only shows up as a string of losses and financial ruin is interesting, but it might be oversimplifying the complex nature of addiction. Can the desire to get back losses, even when you're just playing for fun, not be a sign of a deeper problem? The desire to keep depositing, seemingly to extend playtime but possibly to get back losses, could be a sign that the person is subconsciously switching from a state of leisure to desperation.

It is very important to talk about the idea that the dealer always wins. It shows how gambling games are made to automatically favor the house. Recognizing this fact is an important part of gambling responsibly. And yes, taking your mind off of things after games is good. But we might want to think about whether looking for other things to do is always the best answer or whether its just a short-term fix for the urge to play?

I guess it's possible that you were awarded some sort of "bonus" money that you may not have been aware of or perhaps it was deposited randomly to get you interested in starting to use your account again/more often going forward. Did you try to withdraw the funds at all? I'm curious if it would have let you withdraw the $10 or not, that would probably be pretty telling.

The thing is that if you start doing it frequently then you start getting addicted to it.
You might not be a gambling addict right now but if you continue what you are doing now i.e. keep dpeositing without the want then you will eventually start getting addicted to gambling.
