It depends on the person. Some people will feel the urge to continue playing after winning but some people started to become addicted after feeling the urge to get a win. I experienced the craving to win a particular game at a festival. So I started to gamble with the urge and I did not even care how much I spent as long as I will win that particular game.
But personally, I believe that gambling addiction becomes a habit when someone is not financially literate and then it is more likely to occur when the person is not physically and mentally occupied.

But wait till you have a taste, win some money, that's where you start feeling like there is more if you keep digging, is this not where gambling addiction starts?
Maybe this urge is real for some gamblers after a certain level of big wins, and yes they tend not to have or forget about their plans due to the fact that these kind of moments are really rare which can change their betting patterns.But wait till you have a taste, win some money, that's where you start feeling like there is more if you keep digging, is this not where gambling addiction starts?
I remember a thread in the past about this kind of planning, I think it's worth using to write your big plan as a gambler when you get an unexpected number of wins.
Not generally for everyone, some people run as fast as they could when they lose money from any investment for the first time.
That's why we have some people till date saying Bitcoin is a scam, they lost their Bitcoin because of their foolishness yet they put the blame on Bitcoin.
Most people are like this, but some only get encourages after one success, Now when it comes to gambling, it depends on where it all begins.
If you see a friend of yours making money through gambling, you can become addicted automatically because you've seen someone who is making money through gambling, I remember when I entered into crypto, I never saw someone making live changing money until people dropped proof or screenshots of what their Bitcoin would have worth if they haven't sold. It encourages me.
If you know nothing about gambling and you have no one around you that's into gambling, your fear rate will be very high, if you lose money once you don't look back, you will run, and the chances are high.

Yes, addiction only starts after you taste the winning. Once you win, you get more anxious and try to win more and more. Here the addiction to make money in shorter period of time increases. This gambling addiction only seen in rich people to be honest. They can afford to lose and for them winning is like a challenge. So if they don’t win, they take it personally and gambles till they gets a green. So yes reckless gambling only starts after a win round.
Do you think its possible to become addicted to gambling when you haven't win a dime or after you win?
Most of the time that's the initial reason why they got addicted. But, it could also be the other way around. After losing. Chasing what was gone. Getting revenge. Until the gambling site gives you back the money but you would want more and not just ROI. Greed had been the main reason for addiction. I think addiction starts after you win, even if it's just once, that's when you start gambling recklessly and you also start betting higher.
This is one mistake that I surely regret and I try to avoid it now. Increasing the bets as soon as you win a big jackpot. It's so wrong that you will feel that the profits are being taken back from you and more. It's the reason why the martingale strategy doesn't really work unless you have unlimited money in your pocket. Testing it will just rekt our balance and worst we cannot get it back even by using different strategies. 
I simply can't find the connection between the headline and OP's thread... Reckless gambling is when we start pushing like there's a big win waiting for us just around the corner, and yes sometimes it starts after winning x2/x3/x4/x5 of the deposit we made, and instead of withdrawing we start playing like crazy until we bust all the winnings and deposit. Happened to me a lot of times over the years... So I like the headline, it describes a certain situation that happens a lot of times in gambling.
But the thread about the addiction is a bit silly... Some people get hooked sooner and some later, people are different. I guess it's not important if someone is addicted and when it started... we are all addicts in some way or ways, it's important that we have some control and know how much we can relax with gambling and all other fun stuff.

- Honestly speaking, when I experienced winning in crypto gambling, it was a pretty good and happy feeling when that happened to me, it started to occur to me that it was good to gamble. And when I noticed that I was losing more and more playing in the casino here in crypto, that's when I understood that it can't become a habit if this is how much I'm losing.
So after this incident, I controlled myself, because the chances are high that you will end up in addiction when you experience winning gambling several times, and there are also others who develop addiction not because they have won gambling but just got really hooked on a game here in crypto gambling.

If you never tried it yet how can you become addicted? It will start if you already experienced to win but as I have said it still depends.For example, in every game, of course, there is something called victory and defeat, so in a game where you win a little or lose a little, it doesn't matter, people will continue to gamble as long as they are still curious and haven't reached the big win they want. I also have a friend who started to get addicted because he never win against the casino, that's why he is always curious and keeps wanting to win the game to beat the casino even though we know that the dealer will always win. The bottom line is to gamble responsibly and not recklessly

Gambling addiction will not come at the start of our gambling but when we decide to return to gambling a few days later and continue gambling, it may be the beginning of gambling addiction but we will not realize it. And as long as there is a desire to return to gambling another day, the feeling of gambling addiction begins to appear and we should be careful and always control ourselves. Gambling addiction can come to us when we haven't won a single victory or after we have won and sometimes we don't see that it is gambling addiction because we have difficulty distinguishing it. Gambling addiction can start when you experience defeat because, at that time, there is a desire to recover from previous losses. And if you keep losing the next day, that desire will still be with you and you will return to gambling again.
But wait till you have a taste, win some money, that's where you start feeling like there is more if you keep digging, is this not where gambling addiction starts?
That's the start to get hooked for thinking it's easy to win but it doesn't necessarily mean you're going to become addicted. Because it depends how you gamble, are you playing to have fun, satisfy yourself and winning is not the priority? Or your main desire is to double or triple your money without control on how much you'll spend? Because if the latter is your reason it's likely that you'll going to become addicted.Do you think its possible to become addicted to gambling when you haven't win a dime or after you win?
If you never tried it yet how can you become addicted? It will start if you already experienced to win but as I have said it still depends. If you are onto gambling for the first time it's not possible to get addicted to gambling because you haven't tasted what winning feels like, you will be consumed by doubts and uncertainty.
You are right, some people will find it difficult to stop gambling after winning, because even when they start losing, they will have the confidence that if they don’t give up, they will end up winning one day, that’s why some addicted gamblers will find it difficult to stop gambling even when they are losing, they are always having the mindset that they are going to win all the money they have wasted previously, but if they give up, then everything is gone already. Do you think it’s possible to become addicted to gambling when you haven't win a dime or after you win?
It’s possible to get addicted to gambling even if you haven’t win any amount before. If you are having friends that are gamblers and they are winning, even if you haven’t win, they will keep on motivating you not to give up, you will win if you don’t give up, so you can still be addicted even if you haven’t win, just because you know people that are gambling and you know they are making money.

We have had a lot of conversations about gambling addiction, but I had the same conversation with someone close yesterday and this was my answer to him.

I think addiction starts after you win, even if it's just once, that's when you start gambling recklessly and you also start betting higher.

Coming from my own personal experience in gambling, I would think that you are completely right. Once a person tastes victory, winning somehow becomes not only an addictive feeling but also a kind of motivation to keep going. As if the win has somehow shifted your luck and now you will be likely to win even more. This is of course a lie that we tell ourselves, but it is very tempting to believe in it. The bigger and more often you win, the more you seem to feel invincible, as if there is no such thing as bad luck for you anymore...
Its important to have self-discipline and a cost/profit plan. Otherwise you just keep gambling until you lose everything.
have believed that winning would really be that so easy or simple on that time on which a very wrong kind of approach but well everything would really be realized on, on the time that reality would slap into your face. This is why its really that wise that you should really be making yourself that having that being realistic about gambling that it isnt something that could make you rich but rather it would be doing the opposite if you do find yourself having that lose control of your spending or with your finances. It is really just a normal human being reaction to have that kind of boost up on the time that you do win up a bet
but sooner later when losing streak comes then this is where realization do come or kick in. Its never been that so easy on winning on gambling and this is why it is really just for the sake of fun.

Some people being oppotuned to have a first experience win when they gambles, they will also think that will be a continuous process that at every attempts they will also get that same luck and the whole process continues, but things weren't like that in reality, gambling is not a game we played and already know what will be the outcome right before the bet, so on the attempt to make this come a reality, the gambler keep loosing instead of winning as they keep with making subsequent trials.

I'm not sure if it is all about winning; just imagine playing computer games. Are you not playing the games if you lose a round? You still play, right? not because you lose but because it is fun. Though winning is really fun, it doesn't mean that if you lose you won't be entertained because in gambling there are really people just looking for fun, and even if they lose, they still play on it. I've seen a lot of documentaries that show that most people who got addicted to it lost a lot of money and are now selling their properties just to gamble.
Playing computer game doesn't really merge with gambling because gambling you have your emotion to struggle with as your money is involved but mere play station only spike you up but you don't take reckless emotional decision, only to play and have fun , no money is involved.
That documentary is actually teaching against chasing losses because that is the major causative factor that will make someone become an addict. Addicts don't play for fun but for the purpose of multiplier.

For most people the act of gambling, in the many forms it is dressed up in, is taking a risk with your money in return to the possibility of getting more money back. You're right that without playing the game and actively winning, it would be a huge discouragement to continuing to gamble. A normal person is able to take that feeling of sadness you get from "wasting" money, or not winning, and they register an active decision not to do it again in many cases. However some individuals may actually feel offended, they have trouble processing the feeling of rejection or the fact that they are stupid for having started with money and left with none, so they may choose to chase losses even further - but probability and casino program manipulation are more likely to give them a win in the early stages anyway.
Winning usually changes our mindset and perspective towards gambling. We could only see the possitive side of gambling and we're disregarding the risks because we believe that the same thing could happen to us again. Winning could trick us sometimes and could create an active greed in us and it's something that we should be careful about.
We shouldn't be blinded by winning because we might feel overwhelmed after it and focus on rebetting again after our winnings. This could be a big trick so we shouldn't lose our track and must still know our limits.

Of course it's the first time, you can't get addicted on something without a first time experience. That depends though, some get addicted because of beginner's luck, they want to chase that high and in gambling that's difficult since it's a game of chance while others get addicted because they lost a lot the first time and they think that if they stop, they won't be able to get to the winning moment because they stopped and then they go back to my first example, they will chase that high.
A taste of winning can lead to gambling addiction. Some new gamblers might think that gambling is just an easy path to make money because they had a lucky start. Losing the first time will make gamblers have the mindset that it is not an easy path. Responsible gamblers know that winning in gambling is a product of the combination of experience and luck so they stake only what they can afford to lose.
I don't think it only starts after you experience winning. chasing losses your losses can develop into a gambling addiction, chasing your losses can make you gamble recklessly. also, from what I have read before, "near misses" can develop into gambling addiction, what I mean about this is that nearly winnings jackpot/huge wins can become a motivation to gamblers to gamble more just to try and hit that jackpot/huge win.
Chasing losses can cause gambling addiction. When gamblers want to regain losses they develop a mindset that if they bet more it can help them to cover the loss. This can lead to staking above the budget or gambling plan. I also agree with you about "near misses". I have seen people bet more because they feel that they can win the next time they bet.
Winning can be a powerful motivator. It's easy to get caught up in the idea that you're just one more win away from hitting the jackpot. Its sad tbh
