That thing is an increase in many countries because many of them are desperate in waiting for the end of this pandemic but unfortunately, the pandemic is not going to end soon. Once they become addicted to gambling, they can easily think about a quick way to end the addiction and think about suicide or commit a crime to have money. If they can not do anything, suicide will be their way to end their lives.

Sad true, there are people who got addicted into gambling end their lives thinking that there's no other way as pandemic also hitting them up.

Gambling addicted person no longer think properly, when they already engaged the only thing that kept inside their minds is on how to continue playing and how to earn quickly from this venue.

but most of the time, instead of earning they ruin their lives and it in some cases, their ending it in this kind of sad way.
They never think about the other solution to end the addiction because they feel too worried about what happened to them, so they tend to end their lives. I wish their family is not too late to know what happens to their one family member so there is no suicide because of gambling addiction.

Hopefully, people will know that becoming addicted person to gambling will give them the worst situation and stay away before it is too late.

Ending your lives because of gambling, I think that's too stupid, that's being coward that one cannot accept losses. You already have a mental problem if you even think of ending your life because of a small problem. From the start, we should already know how capable we are to manage our emotion, if we are weak, then we should resist gambling at all cause.
Yes, that is stupid. But I only think about people who have a debt to other people and have been chased because of paying the borrowed money and the interest to play gambling. They could only think that suicide will be the way for them to avoid those people and set them free from all of the trouble. It is all starts with a little problem but we do not realize that because we never introspect about what we already did. Yes, controlling our emotions will be another way to avoid the addiction.

I always thought people who couldn't walk away while being up is a good sign of being addicted.  I hear all the time how much people won but they didn't walk away they chucked it right back down on something else.  If you only use winnings to bet on something else you never ever see a profit.  That to me is a major issue.
It happens all the time and for me, it's really a good sign for gambling addiction. For real, there are those who just come there for their daily bread you know, to have some sense of hope on what is to come so as to live through the day while, there are others who are just so into gambling that, the gambling hall almost seems like there home. These persons that are the ones that, even when they win some, the tend to chuck it right back even because, they just don't know when to live. They start winning and then greed sets in to keep them playing and before you know what's going on, they start loosing again. The trend continues, day after day and they learn nothing of it. That's a good sign of gambling addiction.

I mean it happens to anyone that is actively gambling.  I do think expect someone to sit at the blackjack table and if they win the first hand walk and go home.  I'm talking about constantly just laying money in and never going to permanently cash some out. 

...

In fact is not really about walking away if you win the first round or even if you win 5 rounds or loose 10 rounds. Is much more about having a full control of what is happening with you mind and your wallet. If in trouble, just devise a self warning like - if I have lost more than x I will walk or if I stay more than 2 hours I will walk. This is much more effective than thinking of walking only if you have lost, because addiction comes actually from feeling well about those few wins that you remember above losses.

Gamblers don't realize they are addicted to gambling until it's worse which they've done unthinkable already like breaking the piggybank of his kid just so he could gamble again. But you as a gambler can also notice it to yourself before you get to the worse situation like selling valuables like jewelry so you could play again.
 
Is seeking a new strategy or thinking of betting while you are sleeping signs of addiction? If not, what are little signs that unfold you are becoming a gambling addict?

For those who had spent out their money or winnings back to the gambling site then it cant really be totally called a profit until you do make a full pull out or securing it.

This is really a solid indication that you are really addicted already to gambling and you shouldn't tolerate and let it control you on severe manner because once this

problem do gets worst then you aren't just risking out your finances but also risking out your relationship into your loved ones..

In my opinion the gambling addiction signs is when the gambler lose the sum of money he has set for gambling and try to get it back with his saving money and in most cases end up losing them i think that gamblers need to have some kind of self control and see the gambling as some sort of fun activity or a hobby which will make it easier for them to adapt in case of a loss.
And there are those instances that the gambler has to sell whatever he has in his possession when he also loses his savings. It happens for real and happened many times which I've read for different people. You gamble with any amount that you have no problem to spend because if you've been gambling and you bet on high amounts which you think that you can recover afterwards, you're unsure if there's really a possible chance that you can recover it later when you have no capital left anymore on your pocket and it will push you to do other things that you don't like just for that recovery.

I don't really know if this works as I don't see any additional information on the news about this person but my guess is that it won't help a gambling addict at all. Going to a casino is not the only way to gamble since there is always a group of people who gamble by playing card games like poker, pusoy (chinese poker), cock fighting and many more. He may be banned from casino temporarily but getting rid of being a gambling addict won't be an easy task to do unless ask help from professional with or without the help/support of family.
The only way to cure addiction is to focus on something else. Like finding activity that requires focus like work, trading and anything that will keep them entertained, sadly most of the gambling addicts are those who have plenty of time to spare even they don't have a lot I money to spend they will gamble the borrowed money or properties they have. Addicts must first accept they need to change for them to help themselves.

I agree.

But, you also have to train them to stay chill even though they are not doing anything at all to be entertained. Addicted gamblers should also practice themselves to do nothing or to remain calm beyond boredom, this way, we can assure ourselves that they are indeed making a huge progress to eliminate their gambling addiction.

This won't be easy because we're talking about addiction, it's their everyday ritual, and not doing it as a part of treatment will be so hard for them, that's why professionals handles it instead of normal people.

It's just mind over matter. We have to control our emotions or else it will be the one who will control us. If changing our routine or switching to another habit would be hard for you, then that's the time that you have to search for professional help. If we'll not end gambling addiction, then it might take everything that we have.

It cannot be done by the gambler alone if the gambling addiction is deeply rooted, he needs all the help he can get like his family and of course professional who will create a plan of action so he can get out of addiction and someone who will overlook that he is following the whole plan and not going to deviate, the professional will create a new habit to replace gambling habit.

This is definitely a red flag in our gambling behavior. If we lose control over our own budget limits it is time to for a break and to evaluate out behaviour more closely. If we are unable to control our own habits than we might be already addicted. Breaking our own limits can happen once our twice by mistake, but if it occurs regular we need to be alarmed. The second step would be if we can take a break and don't gamble for 2 weeks without feeling the need to gamble again.
It's a red flag but the only problem with that is the people who are having this signs aren't aware that they are addicted so they have a hard time doing a control over their habit that turned into an addiction.

Most gambling addicts commit suicide because they are in debt or suffer losses so great that there is no option to end their lives, the pandemic has made many people suffer and many of them have turned to gambling.
Gambling addicts only have a feeling of wanting to continue playing, win or lose, they will continue to play and spend time gambling if they run out of capital there is a possibility that they will commit crimes just to get money to gamble.
Being an addict is still treatable, and if the addict ends his life there may be something else he feels has no solution for or is feeling depressed about.

Perhaps this problem has no solution - if a person has decided to be a hermit (socially), then you should not interfere with his choice. In the end, the risks of being alone are quite high, even if you do not take into account gambling addiction and it is the responsibility of a person to take them upon himself or not.
If he decided to be a hermit, he will not socialize with others or communicate with others Grin

If he decides to live alone by himself, he will still meet others, making him have a relationship with that person or people. We never know as we are not in that situation and hopefully, we will never be like that because socializing and having relationships will be better. So if we have a problem, they can help us or ask us. But hopefully, there is a solution to get out of that.

By the way, the hermit lifestyle is a rather serious problem. As we saw because of the lockdown, a lot of people began to live in something like this and now we see the results of this: all statistics on suicide, drug use and death from them show tremendous growth. Although perhaps this is due to the fact that this hermitage was forced and not voluntary.

Self control? Only if that will be possible.The spirit behind gambling tend to prohibit what is called self control,because if a gambler had had self control,he wouldn't play again when he has lost twice or thrice.But he still plays no matter how he looses.And once one is unable to hold himself when he has lost a game,caution should be taken,because lack of self control is the major sign of gambling addiction.

that is very true, i consider myself as an addict of gambling, and to be honest i am still having problems with it, but i recall somedays when i was busy and i didn't have the time to gamble i didn't do it, and even after those busy days, when i got some free time, i didn't gamble even though the idea came across my mind but i didn't do it, it's i started to forget about it, but after some time i couldn't find things to do, and i had a lot of spare time, so gambled a little bit and i kept going, so i 100% agree with you, if you find other things to do you can forget about gambling.

Besides keeping busy with other activities such as you mentioned above, I believe setting a time limit or even set a certain budget (if possible) for gambling purposes also is an important part of ways to cure gambling addiction. And of course, the addicts have to do it continuously till some extent they wouldn't lose control of both their emotions or finances.
