Assess your gambling addiction level.

[Janation]

I'm in-between level 0 and level 1.

I just gamble for fun but not that I forget it. I could gamble every day but I could say that I am not spending my money but just my time. I can say that I am just killing my boredom since I am just gambling using the satoshis I am getting from gambling sites. Though I am a level 1 too since a lot of strategies are flashing in my mind and I am trying them with those free satoshis I am getting.

[Debonaire217]

I'll probably set my own standard to the level 0 which I think I belong in. I mainly gamble just because I want to test a gambling site and play along without the big involvement of money. In other words, I am not losing or winning too much in gambling thus, just being paid to beta test a gambling site, or to create a commentary about it in which my aim is to promote the gambling site at all. But I could say, even if I am not playing that much and betting serious amount of money, I still learn because of being active and staying tuned to different gambling sites I know at this time.

[matchi2011]

Not that much involved with gambling, so I can also be at middle of level 0 and 1,  spending time with some of my friends enjoying the time together
then forget afterwards or sometimes bets with my favorite NBA games then enjoy some sort of winnings when luck permits me.
But never to allocate such amount just to spend for my gambling activities.

Let us try to find how safely we have been into gambling so far.

Level 1 to level 3: (beginning levels)
1. New gambling ideas flashes in your mind even you are too busy with your studies or work or with friends/family.
2. Already lost in hundreds still you are strongly believing to recover them by innovating new strategy.

I guess I am in levels 1 and 2 in the time I start gambling but then I reduce my time in gambling, and I think now I am at level 1 again

But I can stay away from gambling for a month or more because I have the other things in my real life that can make me keep busy every day. Sometimes, I gamble only once in a month, but sometimes I bet twice in a month. There is no specific time for me to gamble because I don't want to get addicted to gambling, and that can make me play gambling over and over.

[minairia3]

I think I'm only on level 3 if Im going to rate myself in terms of gambling. I experienced until level 5 but that's not happened for a long time only quite some time when I dont have much other stuff to get busy with.

I like your ratings, did you based this on a natural scaling for gamblers or you just created this yourself? I think those higher level such as 7 to 9 are already worse and its needed attention of a therapist based on your description.

I don't think it's necessary to assess yourself when you are not addicted in gambling, the fact that "you are not that involved", that's means you were never addicted in gambling... As far as I understand, addiction means you are already out of control and you are gambling more than you are suppose to.

[peter0425]

i cannot leveled myself mate because i have done that all before,as a former regular gambling player?i think i had enough to mention in which i belong.
but the thread is cool at least there will some realization from other gamblers as there is a level mentioned to each kind of gamblers are we.
and the way i see it?most of the posts claims they are level 0-1 things that i see better if they are all telling truth here because there are many gamblers pretending them to be involving a lot but the truth is playing silently most of the time.

[cryptoaddictchie]

Level 7 to level 10: (severe levels)
7. Planning to be a full time gambler because your day job is not supporting you to live as you wish.
8. Facing problem of debits even you are into a highly paying day job.
9. Your spouse warn you about divorce or your family member discuss abut rehabilitation centers behind you.
10. You already became a Warren Buffet of gambling still not sure what is going on around you. You must need 50 hrs per day to fulfill your gambling needs.

Im pretty sure I'm on the lower level and probably until level 4 utmost only. But these level from 7 to 10 is very harsh already. I mean does really people reached to these level of addiction? That'sa heart brealing scenario especially level 9 where your spouse is already accepting to leave and set aside you from the picture due to gambling.

Not that much involved with gambling, so I can also be at middle of level 0 and 1.

But never to allocate such amount just to spend for my gambling activities.

Good for you, cause its means your out of the league of being an addict. Some gamblers might say your lucky to have a discipline hand. Just continue and avoid it.


@OP thanks for your rating at least I know I am still not that addictive to gambling based on the ratings.

[RealMalatesta]

A well written self-evaluating procedures. Good work OP!

I just wonder all these are your own thoughts or you referred or copied from any professional practitioners? (I am sorry to ask this but you have not included any external references so I assume all are your own thoughts from this you sound like a rehabilitation professional who evaluate the physiological things like this type of examples and statements).

Hope you will come with more these types of physiological related things so that this gambling community will go for self assessments more frequently because I believe doing this kind of self-evaluation things may help them to prevent all gambling dangers at least some minimum level too.

[onrise]

I am happy and content with being at Level 1 beacuse only gamble at time’s when really nothing to do or meeting some friends then we go and have fun. Also the intention is to have fun and enjoy and not to make money from it . If I win then it s a bonus but not dependent on it .

@OP thanks for your rating at least I know I am still not that addictive to gambling based on the ratings.

I only spend 2-3 hour in gambling in three times a week, but there's a time I'm not in a gambling site.  Even I'm not always gamblin still I considering myself as a gambler but not addicted. For me do gambling with goal is a good step because you can let yourself out in gambling whenever you want, unlike to those people doesn't have goal they are possible to become more addicted.

[Ucy]

Level 0 is partly true, I think. I would just play a luck-based betting and forget it. If I win, fine , but If lose, it doesn't matter anyway because I don't want to be attached to the game. I actually do this in trading. I just set my trade with alerts, forget about it and get busy with more important things. Once I get notified, I trade briefly, set my alert again and forget about the trade. I try not to get attached to my trading fund. This helps me to be more productive and not to be consumed by the market.

[Darker45]

I am certain I am not an addicted gambler. I do not even belong to level 1. But neither do I belong to Level 0. I sometimes gamble alone, especially online, and sometimes gamble with friends, especially when playing games outside the internet. And I think a full month won't pass without me placing a bet or two. Another reason why I do not belong to level 0 is that I gamble when bored. For example, I often play dice when I am bored and there seems to be nothing better to do online.

[ralle14]

I'm probably somewhere in the first three levels when I profit after a session I get that greedy feeling of wanting to win one more then I most likely lose going back to my starting balance.

But these level from 7 to 10 is very harsh already. I mean does really people reached to these level of addiction? That'sa heart brealing scenario especially level 9 where your spouse is already accepting to leave and set aside you from the picture due to gambling.

The level 9 about the spouse imo is not really accepting to leave, I think it's their last resort in forcing them to do something about their addiction like a scare tactic since every other solution didn't work.

[Oasisman]

Gamble may not be the only option to kill boredom, but it's definitely one of my top to-do list when boredom strikes.
So , I'm gonna say I'm at level 0, and somehow on level 1-3 as well. Sometimes, I get hooked that I'm willing to lose or win a hundred dollars. That's gonna be my bet limit to avoid being depressed and stressed when luck left my side.
These days, I'm pretty sure im in level 0. I haven't get involved to sports gambling yet, but I'm always checking on the sportsbook regularly.

[JohnBitCo]

I'm in-between level 0 and level 1.

I just gamble for fun but not that I forget it. I could gamble every day but I could say that I am not spending my money but just my time. I can say that I am just killing my boredom since I am just gambling using the satoshis I am getting from gambling sites. Though I am a level 1 too since a lot of strategies are flashing in my mind and I am trying them with those free satoshis I am getting.

Most of the people will fall in Level 1 to level 3. I too feel sometimes that if i earn few bucks, i could earn more. This greedy habit of mine do not let me win big amounts because whenever i gamble with more money, the luck does not favor me and i lose my amount. I am sure, this happens with many other gamblers too. We need to define our targets of winning and once achieved, we should not greed for more.

[Ailmand]

I would say I am on level 0. I don't think about gambling every day and might think of it only to mingle with my friends during a trip, weekend parties or whenever I am spending my free time with my friends.  Gambling is a fun activity to spend your free time to relieve stress and yo have fun, especially with your friends. I am not near to the point that I look for it every day and expecting for a big win or jackpot.

[serjent05]

I think i fall under Level 0 on that gambling addiction.  I play gambling games, occasionally putting a huge bet, sometimes I go all in, but I never had any symptoms or signs of those on the upper level.  I only play gambling when I feel too, and often forget playing when I am busy and never use it to kill boredom.

[Ailurophile]

I guess I could consider myself at level 0.
I don't really gamble much I just enjoy it sometimes and besides  I only gamble with small amount and it's very often.
I enjoy gambling with my friends and sometimes I also do it alone.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

Have you make an analyst against it?

I mean you are collected some correspondent among an addict and someone who just know gambling? Because I saw in OP it seems like you know the ins and out about gambling, and yeah you need data in my opinion. You will be called as an insane when you show some statement that you should proof it with data you are not.
