The characteristics of people who are addicted to online gambling

[Boristhecat]

This is too stereotyped representation of addicted people in my opinion. What can you say about rich people who already have a luxurious life but are starting to get involved in gambling? It is hard to imagine that they play for money, they are just looking for adrenaline and new sensations, which is why many of them take risks by trying drugs and other stimulants.

How much of the wealthy represent the general percentage of addicts to gambling in the world and throughout the entire history of gambling? I don't think they are large enough to form a definition of gambling addiction.
But in general, they have in common with the poor in many points, including their inability or loss of the desire to do something useful on the belief that they are smarter than others, or more fortunate than others. And considering the state of addiction inevitably linked to successive losses, they will lead themselves to bankruptcy and return to the same definition box that I referred to.

I don't know what percentage, do you know? In my opinion, this percentage is rather higher when compared with the middle class. As you know, the children of rich parents very often become "golden youth" who suffer from idleness by using drugs, gambling, etc. In any case, whatever this percentage, such people, by the very fact of their existence, refute the stereotype that they come to gambling only because of disappointment with their financial situation and the desire to make money. Everyone has their own reasons.

 Restlessness or irritability when trying to reduce or stop gambling

online gambling addicts can still stop if you have strong intentions, avoid everything that smells of gambling, busy yourself with family so don't diagnose yourself as an addict and can't stop gambling but be excited to stay away so you don't stress

[virasog]

The most common characteristic of an addicted gambler is they are greedy to earn more money from something they think will make them rich since gambling gives them an easy way to earn it. They forgot how to discipline themselves in spending their money in gambling and are too focused on the goal to win that they don't realize how much they already lose. Usually these are people who are in desperate need for money or want to escape their 9 to 5 job.

It not difficult to know if someone is addicted to gambling.There are some characters that an addicted gambler will portray and you will definitely know that he is an addicted gambler.One character in them is that they don't leave the gambling hall.Anyone who is addicted to gambler will not leave where they gamble,they are always there.They use every little money they have to gamble hoping that one day it will favour them.The moment you this see people like this,then have in mind that the person is an addict.

Unfortunately, there are more addictive gamblers than we can see them. As you mentioned that we can identify an addictive gambler in a physical casino but there are so many online casinos where thousands of addictive players are gambling there and we never know anyone of them. Online casinos have produced far more addictive gamblers and the number can be alarmingly high.

in personal experience curing gambling addiction must take a lot of time, it can reach months or years, this is like having to get rid of greed or mentality that has damaged it. on the other hand, we have to re-strategize so that it doesn't happen a second time when we lose control, we who have to be able to control don't make it the main impetus. On the other hand, there are other responsibilities that must be a daily staple. don't happen to lose everything do enough

I'd say it will depend on the gambler. There goes the gamblers that would really need a long time before he's able to take a whole healing process.

But for some, it won't take that much because of the burning desire to quit gambling and can't take it anymore as they experience the negative effects of it.

It is why that desire should include that encouragement of having that mindset of quitting addiction.

This bitter experience for me will make the basic point of the mindset, as the way to control already having this experience will not be repeated. yes, the urge is still in our brains to come back again. but I don't want to lose a valuable thing ruining the reputation of the other side's life. all need to plant seeds so that good or less perfect results can be seen, must be corrected again so that they continue to grow well

As I have previously explained to you, each person has his reasons for falling prey to addiction, regardless of the general principle that confirms that there are certain personalities who can fall into the trap of addiction of all kinds, and not all personalities can become addicted to something as a result of circumstances, whether private or objective. . But when we are in the process of setting a general rule for defining a gambling addict, all evaluations will go to the search for easy and quick profit, which is the characteristic of the poor in the majority.

I understand your point, but your theory is contrary to the facts because there are facts (rich people who gamble and become addicted) that are contrary to your "general rule". If you really want to talk about some serious theory, then you probably need to give more numbers and statistics and not just "I think so" or use such vague formulations as "majority", because even this formulation can change its meaning if we take not natural numbers, but percentages.

Online gambling addictions such as online slots, online lottery, etc. can ultimately destroy the lives of the players, both financially, physically, emotionally, and socially. The back and forth wins experienced by online slot gambling players, online lottery, etc., is what ultimately makes these players fall into addiction. The National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) in the United States estimates that bankruptcy, theft, domestic violence and neglect of children, foreclosure of homes and other investments, and even suicide are also linked to gambling addictions such as online slots.

The following are the characteristics of someone who is addicted to online gambling...
There is always a desire to gamble with increasing amounts of money, to achieve what you want.

 Restlessness or irritability when trying to reduce or stop gambling.

After losing gambling money, often comes back another day to get revenge ("chase" someone's loss).

Forcing into debt and even committing crimes just to have playing capital, and relying on others to provide money to alleviate the desperate financial situation caused by gambling.

Often gambles when feeling depressed (eg stressed, helpless, guilty, anxious, depressed).
Are we one of the online gambling addicts...?
 

Gambling addiction is pretty similar to any other addiction.

People want to get that feeling of excitement, and every time people win at gambling they get that. It's the same feeling that someone gets when eating a chocolate, or drinking alcohol, etc, whatever feels good for the person.

That's addiction, doing something that feels good for the short term but it's bad for the long term.

Gambling is particularly dangerous because you can get financial ruin extremely fast, compared to other addictions.

[Despairo]

Gambling is particularly dangerous because you can get financial ruin extremely fast, compared to other addictions.

I don't think gambling addiction is the most dangerous compared to other addictions, as you said gambling addiction will make ruin your financial, that's all. Actually drugs addiction is way more dangerous than gambling addiction since it will ruin your financial and your health condition. If you lost all your money but you still have a good health and body, you can get a job. But when you don't have any money and you're sick due to drugs, it's almost difficult to get a job to make you survive.

To a certain extend yeah, but you have to remember that sometimes gamblers who are addicted can do things beyond our comprehension, the worst is stealing money which is worst because you can go to jail for doing that. So there is no lesser evil here, both have a negative impact not just to the individual but the person around him/here. Love ones that can ruin their lives.

When someone is addicted in gambling they sometimes treated as abnormal. I know a lot about gamblers where they commit various crimes while managing gambling money. I have heard that they don't even dare to commit murder. There are many such addicted gamblers in the world who even kill for money. Generally those who don't have financial support they do such type of crime but if someone is from a rich family, it is different. Addicted gamblers are ‍always socially scorned.

That's a valid point. When comparing the addiction of gambling with drugs the latter has more weight due to the physical side effects of drugs on the body.
If our health is good we can still make money but if our health is not supporting us then it is very difficult to make money.
As they say, health is wealth. But ofcourse both the addictions are bad since they can both lead to death.

I didn't know if you mentioned drug or drug dealing among these characteristics here and I think drug itself is a major causative factor that people gamble and or drug is the after effect of the reason gamblers commit these listed crimes. Such crimes under list are not commited without intoxication of substances. Drug dealing is a characteristic known with gamblers as they invest in purchase of drug when they have a winning.

Sounds easy but it is really possible for someone to simply stay away from their addiction on their own? If they try to stay away for a while the urge will increase so at some point they will go back again with more intensity before which applies to all kind of addiction so the better way to stop it by reducing the time spent on it and gradually decrease it can be a possible thing.

At some point we can't compare this two because they are in different scenario but there's almost the same thing about it as well. People change their life when they are addicted to something, it can also cause other people to lose their love ones because of their behavior. It will also reflect to your physical appearance, those who fall into addiction give less attention to their body and hygiene.

I believe one should indulge oneself in good and healthy activities to keep them away from unnecessary trouble. With the advancement of technology we are more vulnerable to the frauds and problems. I think one should limit their screen time and keep oneself away from the computer for a health mind and body.

Have you ever observed a silent form of underage gambling addict? I'm referring to the introvert who normally completes all tasks at home before leaving discreetly to visit friends and then going to a sportsbook to place bets on different games, this is even an example of physical betting outlets. Some of them used credit cards to make deposits without their parent's consent and play online and now that some Bitcoin casinos don't require fiat and anyone can withdraw their money anonymously without completing any KYC. These kinds of people are very difficult to notice with some characteristics especially if they are the smart ones and also fear their parents because they will always hide things from their parents.

[Fawwaz wildan]

yes, that's right, because if we are busy with work or family, of course we rarely play cellphones, because online gambling is often played when we are alone and when we are relaxed.

[goldkingcoiner]

I don't think that anyone can actually spot a gambling addict. Unlike a meth addict, for example, you will not see a gambling addict with teeth and hair falling out. So physically, there is no way to tell by looking. Addiction is a dopamine regulation problem. If the dopamine in someones brain is not being produced as it should be, or if the receptors are not taking in the dopamine as they should, then thats how an addiction comes to be.

The best way to know if someone is addicted is by observing their behavior and their daily habits. Listening to the person, helps too.

Gambling addiction is what makes gambling to appear as an irresponsible man's activity, I knew of a case where a chronic gambler had to serially sell all his household properties down to his personal wears just to be able to keep up with the gambling life with the hope that eventually he will hit a major winning streak that will change his life much better than it where, but till as at when I was brief about the case his life is moving continuously from frypan to fire.

This utopian believe by addicted gamblers is what sustain their addiction and create a mirage to their life expected hope to no avail but ruin after ruin. It's really takes a lot of discipline and self determination to escape from the cage of addiction.
