Based on what I have witnessed in some compulsive gamblers, they usually see some of all these signs when they are gambling but they ignore it and don't bother to make a correction, they keep ignoring it until they can no longer control it because it has become a habit. At least if a gambler begins to notice all this symptoms, they should either take a brake from gambling for some time or seek a advice from someone that can help them.

Gambling addicts are in denial. Even if we clearly see them struggling to control their addiction, still they would defend theirselves that they are not addicts, but are only gambling just to entertain theirselves. And when they can’t no longer control their addiction anymore, after they have ruined their lives and break their personal relationships, that’s when the time that they will admit to theirselves that they’re completely helpless and hopeless. And even wish to have their support system, their family, to be always around them.

Well that's true and actually that unconsciousness is what makes it difficult for them to overcome their addiction problem, or what I mean is actually one of the reasons why overcoming addiction is very difficult is because they don't realize that they are addicted and often they think that they are ordinary gamblers who are not addicted or who have an ordinary approach to gambling even though if we look at the way they treat gambling it is clear that they often make aggressive decisions.

You said something true that most likely an addict will only be able to realize that they are addicted when they have experienced a slump, I am sure of that because I am also one of the gamblers who was initially addicted but is now cured which healing began when I realized that I was addicted, meaning that awareness is what can make someone recover slowly from addiction.

Gambling addiction will be different because the money involved will make us suffer, whereas with alcohol or some other drug addiction they will be out of the world mentally. So, gambling addiction will be more dangerous than other forms of addiction as it gives mental and financial stress.

Whatever the addiction is, it will still be dangerous and even though, gambling addiction will damage a person's mentality and be more likely to get emotional with the environment and not want to get along. They just think about how to get big wins and try to find extra money to keep gambling.

Addiction to drugs will also have a bad impact on a person's mental health because they can't control themselves and are more likely to be aggressive when what they want isn't achieved.

These kinds of things always happen and even happen at the same time and make addicts, drunks and drug users will become unstable in any case, including gambling.

If a gambler is ready to share what he has gone through, then he has crossed the addiction phase. With some people, we know that the particular person is addicted. Even if we try to console them, they show themselves to be normal. This happens when they're in the addicted phase. When we keep it ourselves, we won't be able to come out of it. Everything happens in a fraction of a second. A person might have struggled hard for years to earn, but he loses everything within minutes. Keep on thinking that moment might make them take wrong decisions. Gambling addiction will be different because the money involved will make us suffer, whereas with alcohol or some other drug addiction they will be out of the world mentally. So, gambling addiction will be more dangerous than other forms of addiction as it gives mental and financial stress.

#3: Denial/Concealment: Most addicts are in denial. They would never admit to having a problem. However they probably subconsciously feel that something is wrong or at least there is something they should not be doing. If you are hiding your gambling habits from friends or families, you might already know deep down that there is an addiction already.

This is really difficult especially if you have a close one that you are really sure that he/she is already addicted to gambling where you are just trying to help, but the difficult part is they don't tend to listen to you and they keep denying their situation, it's kinda they are shy on what they are doing but still not helping their self. I really experienced this.

That’s also their defense mechanism so they can avoid real confrontations and blame them for their actions. Being in denial also helps them to stick to their habit and maintain their gambling addiction, and not wanting to hear negative criticisms because reality will hit them and cause them intense pain.

Gambling addiction is easy to identify if the gambler is addicted. And I will add some to your list. Frequent visiting of the gambling hall or casino online.or offline. Always paying gambling debt. And the this last one is the most dangerous one for an addicted gambler. And when someone is addicted then this last one is undisputable. Either the gambler would collect money from friends, neighbors or the cashier in the casino hall to bet games and hoping to win the game is so he will pay back the debt but irony caught him up so he has to pay the debt by either selling properties which I have seen many times from addicted gamblers or he used his salary to pay the debt. And once you notice a gambler, paying debt regularly then you have to know that he is addicted. And he can't use money to do good things in his life but to gamble for hoping to win big. And that has become a big dream for him.

A very good attempt at outlining the addictive symptoms but there's one that I don't really conform to in that not all cases of such are actual addictive signs, some persons prefer to keep their gambling behaviors private not because they are addicted but they are avoiding some personal misconceptions due to the stereotype that would be given them in such cases, so I think that isn't really an addictive signs in some cases.

True, there is secrecy among gamblers even among those who control themselves perfectly and play gambling and gambling for years. But we all think in simple categories, and most people, hearing the word "gambler", imagine an addicted problem guy who has gambled away all his property and health. But in reality this is not so, I know many guys who are into betting, and they are great guys. But they try not to tell new acquaintances about their hobby because they are afraid of censure.

We always talk about gambling addiction here in forum but it all seems vague. What are actually signs or symptoms of gambling addiction that you can try and detect from yourself or other people?

The problem is that we are not aware of these signs so that gambling addiction occurs due to accidental factors that start from trial and error. To avoid gambling addiction, a person must have financial control because without money it is impossible for people to bet on any gambling. Self-control will be formed when someone understands the risk management process better where they can manage their gambling budget.

Mild symptoms of gambling will go away on their own and this can be done if a person has another job that is more productive. Gamble more responsibly by making a budget portion and only betting on days off to fill the void.

This is the most serious problem leading to gambling addiction, chasing after loses. People often neglect it and sees it as nothing perhaps it is the motherboard of addiction. I could see some guys in the casino or gambling hall after much more loses, they refuse to go Instead they hang around still hoping they could win back the amount they spend Andor lose or even win higher, which is impossible as they thought. And this Leed to serious gambling addiction. I will advise that sometimes when the possibility of wining back is difficult, it is better to call it off than trying to fight a lost battle.

The thing that can make a person become addicted is thinking about winning alone, such as those who think that they can get a sure win at gambling even though the previous gambling has ended in defeat but because of the encouragement of thinking about winning makes them think that they will be able to win at the next gambling this kind of thinking will continue to be repeated if they themselves do not realize what happened this is the beginning of their addiction.
I agree with the advice you conveyed, it is better to just cancel the intention of wanting to reverse the losses that have occurred because it is possible that it will only make things worse in the future. We know that winning at gambling tends to be difficult and there is no sure way to get a win at gambling whether it's a planned win or wanting to recover losses that have occurred.

...Beware of these signs and detect gambling addictions early on so that you don’t fall in too deep.

I think it's impossible to cure gambling addiction on your own, just like an addict can't heal on his own. I have heard that there is a drug treatment for gambling, but I do not understand the principle of its action. The only way to cure gambling addiction is through psychotherapeutic rehabilitation.

The treatment of a person addicted to gambling will not be quick and it will not be easy for people with addictions such as gambling to recover. This is because addicts often think about gambling. It is difficult to prevent this. They need to gamble with more and more money in order to feel better. Rehabs can be a temporary solution for gambling addicts, but this depends entirely on the internal state of the addict. The addict may need to change his or her lifestyle in order to cope with the thought of gambling. It is possible to achieve success with a tailor made treatment program. The first step is to recognize that gambling addiction is a pathological disorder.

It is questionable whether early diagnosis of a gambling addict is helpful. Because the only thing that can save gambling addicts is psychological or medical intervention.

When you have feeling that you can get back your loses and youre are always positive that you can make good return after all even you spend too much and most of the results of your bets are not good ,probably that's what we called the addiction. I mean such those people who are not taking it for fun only but to achieve something on gambling, which is they keep playing even its impossible as they're not good on it. For me that's the sign of addiction came from . Cheesy

That urge of always trying so hard to think how to beat the system and make good profit from them is one level of addiction that some people don't take very seriously; on the other hand, those who also keep on chasing their losses trying to get back all that they have spent on the casino keep on losing money while trying to do that, and the more money they lose, the more difficult it becomes to ever recover that loss, and this keeps them in between all they do is make money and spend it in the casino, all in the make of chasing their losses; they just get stuck there.

#5 Financial issues: Once you start going out of your way to gamble even if you no longer have money, you have some serious addiction going now. Some will sell their belongings and even borrow money if it meant they could gamble.

A normal gambler may spend some of their extra money on gambling activities. But when their losses are more than they are willing to spend, they stop. Pathological gambling (addiction) is characterized by an inability to control or stop gambling and will continue gambling even after losing more money than the gambler can afford. These gambling losses can put the gambler in debt or risk assets such as the gambler’s car or home.

The losses are much deeper than just going broke from gambling.

Gambling addiction often takes a long time to develop, and as the gambler spends more time on it, other activities suffer. They neglect relationships, family responsibilities, and home. They frequently miss work. They neglect meetings and other important commitments. Or they may gamble while at work, or when they should be sleeping or interacting with their family

I think the main sign of addiction is when you choose your addiction over responsibilities that will effect your life. For example, the guy who gets fired from his job because he won't stop looking at sports books all day at work. Then maybe he doesn't get a job because he thinks he can gamble himself to riches. Then he loses his house, his family, and ends up on the street. That is addiction. There are plenty of less dramatic examples, but I think that highlights it. Everything can be fun, but there's a reason people say everything in moderation.

I think that's virtually the height of addiction, I know there are more lesser cases like you said but when you are irresponsible to that level then your own case of addiction is something that the closest person to you should get to worry about because if such habit is left unchecked then leaving your family out in the streets is just an understatement as that kind of irresponsible gambling can even lead to forcefully taking something things just to meet up with that urge.

#4 Inability to stop

One of the main indications is this, on which there's really that a time that you do find yourself having some issues about stopping
then this is really indeed a solid sign that you are already that addicted into it. Usually people do make out those kind of stopping situation is on the
moment or time that they had already lost everything.

Never ever consider yourself on trying out to make use of those funds on which are intended for other use. If you do find yourself having such
issue then better stop immediately because if not then it will really be bringing out that kind of devastation when it comes into finances.
So it will really be that better if you will really be having that kind of possibility on wrecking up your life if you wont be wise on taking up such action.

True that, followed by piling up of debts due to gambling. People who have sign of gambling addiction often borrow money from their friends, relatives and any people they know since they can't control the urge to gamble, the moment they emptied their bankroll, they will look for way to continue playing and that is borrowing money.

Another sign is using the money that is allocated for essential needs for gambling activities and while they are playing they tend to do an uncontrolled increase of bet size. And the funny thing about people who have signs of gambling addiction is that they feel remorse about their gambling activity and yet they can't stop gambling.

Yes of course and that's why it's hard for me to recover from gambling addiction, the reason is because addiction is a disease that exists in a person's mind where they have unreasonable beliefs and hopes in a place that runs based on probability, so it takes help from others at least to help make addicted gamblers aware that they have misunderstood how to deal with gambling, but I will also say that most likely curing gambling addiction can only be done alone considering how difficult it is for addicted gamblers to accept various suggestions given by others.

Honestly, I am also a gambler who used to be addicted, so I know enough about what is more likely for an addicted gambler to recover, but yes, maybe for some people it is different.

#4 Inability to stop: I can gamble and still stop when I’ve had enough. Gambling addicts might not be able to do that. They will continue gambling and maybe even make up excuses for it such as “I will just take back what I lost” and many more.

#5 Financial issues: Once you start going out of your way to gamble even if you no longer have money, you have some serious addiction going now. Some will sell their belongings and even borrow money if it meant they could gamble.

All sign you have listed here are good sign of gambling addiction but I chose the number 4 and 5, as they are more likely to be a good example or sign of addiction. The inability to stop gamble often happens When people panic as a result of lost and due to that reason, they end up chasing there lose and lose more. This Leeds to addiction. On the contrary another factor Leeding to addiction is hoping to be Wealthy from gambling, It increases the chances of addiction.

Addiction starts from the thought of wanting to make a win at all costs which would be able to cover up for their loses, and after playing for a while, they'll eventually realized that they've gone too far and the only choice are to quite like a coward or gamble to luckily hit the jackpot. But sometimes being that coward will save you from more destruction, its better to quite after realizing than to keep playing because the possibilities of recovery all that you've lost is almost impossible especially when you want it at all cost which is likely to make the gambler gamble irresponsibly.

#1 Mood swings: It’s normal to feel excitement or disappointment when gambling but extreme emotions due to gambling results that you are unable to shake off is not normal. Additionally, if one is irritable when they can’t gamble, that is probably a sign of gambling addiction already.

Sign and symptoms of been an addiction to a gambling have a several ways, because one thing about the gambling is that, a moment you starting to they lose money when ever you bet in gambling you will be have some feelings that let you try another bet another may be it can be bring a lot of positive outcomes.

And what’s making some people’s to become addicted in gambling is that, if there wining every time they have play a bet they will be thinking that’s how they will continue to they win in gambling and that’s some become addicted to the gambling easily.
