addiction is without a doubt something very serious, without a doubt it is a disease that causes many problems for the addict and also brings many problems for the people around the addicted to gambling, but it is necessary that when someone shows signs of being addicted that person goes to the doctor because only the doctor can say whether or not the person is addicted to gambling, it is not the person without going to the doctor to conclude that he has gambling addiction, I understand that these are all signs that you posted in this thread are the signs that most people who have been diagnosed that they are addicted to gambling have had
but you have to be careful not to jump to conclusions and think that just because you had these signs then you are already addicted to gambling until you went to the doctor, I always advise people to go to the doctor and only the doctor can say if the person whether you are addicted to gambling or not, there are people who spend a lot of time talking about gambling, but are not addicted to gambling, an example of this is that in this section we spend every day and many hours talking about gambling , this does not mean that we are all addicted to gambling

Chasing your lost is the worst of all because you wouldn't know that you will end up losing all that you have. Gambling everyday is good, as long as you have a budget for it and you don't go beyond your budget limit.
That is the worst thing to do while trading or gambling, this is because if you are gambling and you lose and lose again, the chase for the money the gambler has already lost will make the gambler to lose more money. The best the gambler can do if he has lost in gambling is to just stop until he no longer think about the money and he should not see it as lost, it would be good if the person do not gamble that day again. 
Many times we are in a situation and we do not not realize the intensity of the problem. One such case is compulsive gambling. In simple words, it means that you are unable to control the urge to get involved with gambling even after understanding the potential harms associated with it.

I guess everyone has experience at least one sign of being a compulsive gambling.
I mean the first one? sure majority of us here went to the kind of situation, everyday we think of gambling but we try to fight it out and take control of our emotions. Otherwise, your life will be ruined if we keep on putting gambling a priority in life. So that is the key there, you need to understand which one is important in your life, i.e. putting food in the table for your family. So maybe at the end of the day, you will have to stay away from gambling and treat your family first.
I guess most of these can be attributed to one thing: poor decision-making skills. People can always think about gambling but not act on it, but if they have poor decision-making skills, they'd probably be lured in almost everytime and lose everytime. That's what separates a normal.gambler from an impulsive one, and while it may seem to be pretty a pretty thin line, it still matters quite a lot due to how important that single trait is.
Chasing your lost is the worst of all because you wouldn't know that you will end up losing all that you have. Gambling everyday is good, as long as you have a budget for it and you don't go beyond your budget limit.
There was a time when I was sick,while on my sick bed,the thought of gambling came up and I felt like gambling but it was impossible for me to do that. I love gambling everyday and I see it at fun because after the day stress, I gamble to relief myself.

Chasing a loss can be the worst but it's not a sign of compulsive gambling. A one timer can find himself unable to stop and chasing losses. You can be a newbie and chase losses, it's not yet an addiction.
Compulsive gambler goes to it to escape problems. Every time he comes home he has to do it, it becomes a habit. He gets yelled at at work or at school and he has to gamble the rest of the day, he gets a promotion he has to gamble it away.
A compulsive gambler does it often and ignores whatever is happening around him. He'll do it at his wedding under the table if he feels the need for it.

5) Just play gambling all day 
I had experienced this before but not to gamble all day but at that time, I only thought about gambling. But all that has passed and now I can say that I am no longer addicted to gambling, even though I still often play gambling again, within reasonable limits.
How to get rid of it? I just sat down and started to contemplate what I had done with my life and looked at the fact that I had lost so much money gambling. And that's when I felt like I had to stop immediately or else I would lose so much more that I couldn't take it.

These are mostly backed by the addiction that a gambler would have been suffering from and the truth is that we don't gambkes because we are forced, compelled or triggered to do so, while winning a bet in gambling also is not by how determined we are or how provoked we got to desperately win, which is why we need to gamble with mederacy, caution and considers many factors before we go i to gambling so that we don't regret some of our actions or got frustrated by the consequences of what we do whenever we gamble while loosing money often.

But addiction itself isn't the problem. We are addicted to all sorts of things, positive and negative. And it's easy to check if you are addicted or not. Just measure the time you are spending into different things in a week or a month. You will know when it's too much and too time consuming or is it pushing away other things you would like to do.
Problem rises when it affects to your life and you let it control your behavior. I've seen men bored to death in poker tables that seem unhappy to be there. It's like obligation for them like a cigarette for a chain smoker as they are looking for the rush they got used to now.
You can have fun gambling if you are honest to your self and acknowledge your addiction and emotions towards it. Only then you have tools to keep it in check.
Are we talking about Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that just only related to gambling?
Until some point, we keep doing it even realizing what are the harms behind gambling but their urge to make money or feel the adrenaline keeps pushing them to bet more and more. So it's better to have limitations and restrictions over anything we do whether it's drinking coffee or betting money.
A person is able to overcome any addiction, if only the desire and gambling addiction is no exception. It is only necessary to admit the existence of the problem and deal with it. Most of the same gamblers have a gambling addiction are afraid to admit the existence of the problem and are trying to hide their problems from the environment. Only by understanding what your problem is you can develop a plan to combat the problem. Otherwise, nothing will work. If you feel that you have a problem with gambling, then tell the people closest to you who can help you.
It is enough to indicate that a person has a severe gambling addiction.
He really had to find a solution by telling other people to help him overcome his gambling addiction problem.
That is the consequence that a gambler will experience if he cannot control himself while playing gambling and will get it after playing for a long time without stopping for a moment.
I almost experienced it but fortunately, my best friend saw me playing gambling in my room and he immediately asked me to go out of the house to talk about it alone.
And since then, I really decided to learn to control myself over it until I can be free from (almost) gambling addiction.

I saw a meme back then on twitter where the guy's literally shaking with dedication every time he wants to gamble. Some random guy subtweeted him saying that he's addicted or something along the lines.
Now this at first glance is just a harmless jab at how in denial some people who are afflicted with gambling addiction are. But honestly it's also a good statement against these people, a little wake up call if you will. Sucks that they are the last to know that they're in too deep to. But if you suspect yourself of being addicted to gambling already, watch out for these signs:

But if you suspect yourself of being addicted to gambling already, watch out for these signs:
- Uncontrollable/Intrusive urge to gamble. You feel like you're at loss when you don't gamble for that particular day
- Dwindling savings and worsening financial situation. Most gamblers find themselves sweeping off their savings, and sometimes even taking out loans to fund their addiction. If you find yourself spending more than what you normally would, you should check yourself.
- You found other things to be addicted to as well. Smoking, Drinking, all of these forms of leisure, if you've picked these things up from the Casino or from the stress of losing tons of money from gambling, it's often a good indicator that something is already wrong.

Could it be one of the signs when someone keeps talking about gambling addiction?
LOL Yup better not talk about it anymore. Seriously. The more I see topics like this the more I ask myself if I am addicted which I think I am not. I bet I'm not.

4) Ignoring other important work like job just for gambling
This one I think is already one of the effects of addiction. It's close to neglecting duties and responsibilities.

Too much of everything is just bad, I always fail after two successful gambling rounds, instead of quitting I always want more, and later on, I end up losing all I've won already, now I keep cautioning myself whenever I am gambling online, after every win I take my leave, this has greatly reduced my losses.
You need to understand who you are at first, where I am from we believe that gambling as spirits on it's own, you need to find out what works for you, some are time lucky and some get more luck on a particular day, Thursday's? Wednesday's? Some get lucky on rounds, as for me it's taking my leave after a win, highest, twice.

that is why it is important to control ourselves before playing gambling because when we have become an addict it is rather difficult to control ourselves even from the signs above explaining the symptoms of addiction, so it is necessary for someone to get rid of these feelings for example going on vacation with family or a lover might be able to help much better and also avoid cell phones or laptops

Self-denial. Living in denial of a gambling addiction is an early sign. A gambler who knows that they have lost more money than they can ever think of to gambling and would keep on returning to the casino while telling themselves that it is because of a wrong strategy and not because they are addicted.Here are some signs of compulsive gambling :
1) Gambling related thoughts are always in your mind even when you are working on other activities
2) You keep increasing the gambling related money with each game

These people will turn to other people's money when they are broke to gamble. They would lie for it, steal for it just to satisfy that urge. Yet, they will go on denying that it is not because they are addicted but because of their love for the whatever game they are playing or the potential to hit it big.
I think you can add to this list: Debts. If they start to appear en masse, then this is the finish line.Gamblers when they try to recoup, they can very much get into debt both to the bank and to their relatives.And another point I would add is a nervous disorder, sleep and nutrition are disturbed.I did not get into such a situation, but I knew a person who had such problems.
