Realization comes always at the end and that's why you have to ask yourself whether to do that again just after you have made a lost. Ask yourself for the second time if depositing is going to make you happier regardless of the result or this is just going to give you another burden thinking of a regret that you shouldn't have done that in the first place. This happens for most gamblers that we gamble, we have fun, we lost some and win some and then at the end when we calculate we are at entire loss. From there, you'll get to think if it's worth to try to gamble when you have been incurring more losses. If it's not worth it then stop and think of yourself what to do better with that $10. But if you think that it is worth to give it another try with another ten bucks, then go ahead and do what you want. So, always be aware of your moves as you gamble. Because you'll never know what being a gambler can do to himself when he's out of his place and don't think of his actions so make sure that you're doing it for yourself and not for the others. You find reasons to gamble and win or lose, the happiness and enjoyment is there. We aim for the profit and that's for real but it's not like that at all times.
why I am surprised is because I haven't funded into my betting account twise in a day after losing done money, so am I becoming an addict? No.
I'll actually say what happened to you has been happening to alot of peeps and has definitely been the reasons why alot have been deeply into gambling today.... It all started off one day Luke that, and was improved over time...lol, you're not an addict for the fact that you funded your account and wagered twice... Even if that'd happened 10 times in one day... What happens is that it develops over time...lol

That is true, depositing twice in a day is not yet to be categorized that she is becoming an addict.
But she needs to be aware of her spending habits because that may be a start of her gambling journey.
Thinking of recovering such losses is one way to be addicted in this game. And if she will do it over and over again,
she will notice that she won't be using 10 bucks anymore but higher amount and the frequency would be more often.
So yes, it may be a start if she doesn't set her limits and be out of control later on with her betting habits.

Have you been in such situations before? I foremost, asked this question because I haven't done this before. Today I was just doing nothing but sitting down in the sitting room watching TV, but I wasn't comfortable. Then I fund my betting account (hoping to have fun) with $10 but, unfortunately for me, I lost the whole money without winning just a dime. It was not the first time for me to lose money on gambling (but I am not a regular gambler), then I fund another $10, so finally, finally, I still lost the other money I deposited, and I was like asking myself how? When did I even fund another money in this account? why I am surprised is because I haven't funded into my betting account twise in a day after losing done money, so am I becoming an addict? No.
As a gambler, it's normal for us to bet again just to recover the previous loss. As long as you are betting on a small amount that you find comfortable to lose, that's okay. But if you keep on betting again despite of your consistent losses and even increase your bet, that signals that you are becoming an addict if you cannot control your gambling urge. To gamble is obviously to lose your money, so if you bet thrice or more without winning, then that's already enough. Call it a day and stop betting.Gambling is obviously to entertain us, but when greed comes in, it becomes more than just an entertainment but also to earn a living. When you start experiencing that feeling, stop gambling immediately. It will never be good for you in the long run.
If an addicted gambler is trying to chase a loss, he/she is providing more chances for him/her to lose more to the ones he/she has lost previously, it is easy to lose a bet but a bit hard to win and winning is not all the time in gambling. However, I didn't increase my stake. I was just staking the same amount all though, but now I am beginning to think that it might be because I was so bored that's why I did fund another to my betting account.

You are not an addict and what had cause your loses could be not planning at all before you go into gambling. You need to make a plan and keep to the kind of bet you intend to bet on. Loses is normal as a gambler and not preparing for it may cause you loses. You need to know the kind of bets that would guarantee your winnings because this will help you to earn from betting. You were lead to gamble and you were never prepared that is why you made such loses. Maybe next time is will be encouraging if you bet on sportbook rather than casino games because you can not determine your own outcome.
We all like to do things that we like, and how would we know if we like something or not if we don't try it? First, we try it and if we like it or at least it awakens some emotion in us, we will try it again for sure... if we fall in love with something, we will do it for the rest of our lives.
And we are all addicts... just accept it and try to control it, don't let it control you.

Like others mentioned, you got caught up in the game and wanted to deposit more money to keep playing. It's common when you run out of funds while enjoying interesting casino games to feel tempted to deposit more. This might be a step toward addiction, but not entirely. If you just want to have extra fun, there's nothing wrong with that as long as you can control yourself and stop when needed. Addiction will probably come in after you get another idea of depositing again the third time or even more.

From your comments, I suspect that the reason why you overfunded your account was because you were bored. You just wanted to reduce your boredom by engaging in something entertaining. You are not a gambling addict yet but if you continue this way you might end up having a gambling disorder. Your ability to stop and identify that you have exceeded your limit shows that you are still in control of your gambling habit. You wouldn't have created this thread to seek opinions if you were already addicted. You would have just continued with the unhealthy gambling habit. But it is advisable to gamble within your budget and avoid the temptation to exceed your betting limit. And if you are idle and want to engage in something entertaining, you can choose to watch interesting movies, read books, take a walk, or play computer games.
At this point of experience, from your own perspective, I can say you played the second round out of curiosity. If for a long time you have not used your casino app and you just did that for the first time and you lost, then out of curiosity you funded your wallet again to try it again, that is no issue, but when you continue to play it again and again while funding it out of your planned budget, then I can tell you it is you chasing your loss, and then we can say you are getting addicted, but it is not the right thing to do, mate.
I will also advise you to not play without budget so as not to play beyondyour target as you just did because it might result to you chasing your loss and when you dothat, you can become addicted from that act.

Online gambling is one of the risky activities to engaged in, I will never advised any of my friend to anticipate online. It's only a matter of time before you become addicted. Gambling does not favor some people and is advantageous to others. Gambling with a smaller initial capital will simply encourage you to continue depositing and losing; you can consider it as minor losses, but after losing five times in a single day, that's $50, your eyes are going to become straighter. Gambling is risky; you should plan ahead of time before placing wagers in the system, because games will always go against our strategies, making the whole process monotonous.

You are not only on this particular feeling in the gambling world as I believe this is actually a stepping stone for one to actually successfully becoming a gambling addict because the moment you lose control of your gambling habit like this scenario that you are implying then something is getting out of hand and you really need to do something about it. Not knowing the actual amount you deposited is something you actually need to sort out because it can get way worse than this if you are not careful enough. 
Today I was just doing nothing...
you were idle even tough you were watching TV, that is why you were easily tempted to fund your account to gamble in the first place. Gambling is meant to be a fun activity and that is why you exactly considered it first when you were bored, It is not bad, but you have to be careful so that you do not let boredom make you get used to the habits of funding your accounts to always gamble without limits whenever you feel Idle or bored. Gambling is a fun activity, but it is a fun activity that should be engaged in with caution. 
Addiction cannot be achieved so soon so you needn’t worry. For now anyways. But addiction can creep in when you least expect and before you know it, you’ve already sunk in deep.
For now, I think you initially started playing cause you were probably bored at home with nothing more interesting in mind to do and you funded your account the second time cause you were now more engaged and perhaps had an increased desire to win despite initially playing for fun.
Keeping your thoughts and emotions in check is essential if you don’t want to accidentally slip into addiction.

That totally sucks. But hey, we've all been there, am I right? Just looking to blow off some steam and the next thing you know your wallet's emptier than your glass of beer. I feel you on the surprise part too. It's like, I thought Id at least win a little something if I kept playing. but nope! Them slot machines ate up my cash quicker than I could spit. and Still, I wouldn't stress too hard about whether this makes you an addict now. I mean, we all mess up and make dumb choices sometimes. At least you're thinking twice about it and realizing you gotta be smarter next go around. That's called learning from experience my friend.

If this is the first time, then this is not a gambling addiction behavior. because a gambling addict can do worse than that, namely by continuing to deposit without any restrictions or real steps to prevent himself from this bad behavior. And a gambling addict can do worse than that, spending the contents of his account for the sake of gambling.
Even though this is the first time, this is one of the signs that your gambling is getting out of control and if this behavior continues to be left unchecked like running water, then sooner or later this behavior can lead you to an addiction to gambling.
And here I advise you to be more careful in gambling and don't forget to reorganize your gambling activities so that these activities remain under control. And one more thing, don't let just because loneliness struck make you behave carelessly.

You can’t just use that to judge, maybe you are becoming addicted, maybe being lonely was the reason why you topped up your account after losing the $10 that was in the account. But I can say addiction also starts with that, but if, after you deposited the second time, you were able to control yourself, then I won’t say you are getting addicted to gambling, and you said you are not a frequent gambler, if you gamble frequently, it will have been a different issue. But since you gamble once in a while, depositing money after using it is a normal thing, and you stop after losing the second amount you deposited.

Really may be the casino gave you a cash back as for your loss, this is a form of compensation to keep you motivated to play more and if possible make more deposits, or if you are lucky you can make a few winnings in between the line but then also you have to be aware of the fact that some of the winning that you may accrue from such money may be subject to some wager conditions before withdrawals. Then also you have to be at peace with whatever the outcome may be since you didn't deposit the funds in the first place so you be ready to go through whatever the casino may put up with.

I personally think you are not an addict but I strongly suggest you to keep your emotion straight and control your self in your gambling activities. Seeking a comebacks is what makes gambling fun as long as it is manageable. It's not that fun anymore if the loss you have will affect you and your daily life. Just be careful since repeating a habit like this will result you in being on a heavy loss or at worst became an addict that will try to recover your lost funds. Control yourself and do a budget on your gambling funds, that way you know what money to spend without really much affecting your daily life. Jump to:
