The characteristics of people who are addicted to online gambling

In my opinion, the first sign of gambling addiction is that the person regrets the lost money but again and again visits the gaming platform in the hope that today he is lucky and winnings will contribute to changing his life for the better. He comes to the casino not to enjoy the game, but for the result, which often turns out to be not what he expects.

The manifestation of stress, depression, gambling with credit money, etc. is already a neglected degree of gambling addiction which is very difficult to cope with alone.

Those who don't have discipline and have a lot of money to spend is the one that always fell into addiction, not all people who used to gamble sometimes because most of them for sure, just trying their luck and it's all done..  
What I'm trying to say is it's impossible to happen to some people that has financial problems and lack of source of income because for them at the first place its very skeptical way to make profits. So the one that becomes addicted in gambling will be the rich people. And its their problem why they all have addiction because if they consider it as a risky way of making money, then surely they will not end up in such situation.. Lol

not all gambling addicts are rich people.
there are a lot of people in my city who are addicts to gambling and they are not from the rich but they are from the poor. so they consider gambling as a source of earning money for their daily lives and if they lose they will continue to pursue losses and losses by borrowing money from anyone or selling valuable items they have.
so there were some people in my town he was a poor man who continued his addiction to gambling until he became poorer and depressed lost it all.
from my story, it can be seen that gambling addiction is not only from the rich

Gambling addiction is not a thing for the rich or poor. I have seen gambler who are not financially balanced but they are still addicted,  playing gambling with all the money with them is not a problem to them .  Gamblers who are not rich all they care about is to always play gamble to make profit.

I’m definitely not one of the gambling addicts. I’m not trying to denounce or belittle gambling addicts but it’s obviously not safe anymore when it became an addiction. Gambling addiction like any other addiction starts gradually and if not checked or nipped in the bud, it then becomes an addiction. And that’s why we need to be disciplined in our vices and whatever we do.
We shouldn’t let feelings and excitement control and ruin one’s life.

[Tumanggor]

people who have become addicts (not just gambling) must have something in common is that they can't fight the urge to continue gambling even though they are not at the right time to do it

it's not hard to see those who are addicted and need great support from us (friends and family) to be able to help those who are addicted, get well soon from their addiction

[Doell]

Honestly, I may have been a gambling addict. But often remember and can restrain my interest in gambling, on the other hand slot gambling is indeed the worst in my history because addiction to this machine often loses control. The longer I play my money decreases and then it disappears, it is better for new a gamblers to think about other gambling than slots because gambling on this machine must have a smart mind and high mastery of patience.

If you are chasing the loss often and you do not accept your losses then you are a gambling addict.

Depression and stress are obvious to develop in gamblers if they are losing more than winning and there is no money management plan in their approach.

I think, addiction does not know a person's wealth or socioeconomic status and has nothing to do with discipline.

The main factor that causes addiction is a condition where a person is unable to resist the urge to continue gambling or risking something without considering the bad effects that will befall him.
another factor, the desire to earn money instantly to improve the standard of living. So, if someone has anything in common with what I said, I think that someone should learn to control his every activity in gambling and make it just for entertainment part of the fun.

True, one of the characteristics of gambling addiction is to open a gambling platform constantly even though you always lose. People who are addicted to gambling cannot control themselves in the game, because betting is not for fun. People addicted to gambling are emotionally unstable, they will try to get money from anywhere in order to keep gambling, people who are addicted to gambling will experience financial problems because money is used to gamble, because gambling is a top priority.
The characteristics of a simple gambling addiction can be seen from the desire to increase the value of the bet, the difficulty to stop, the dependence to continue betting even though you have lost repeatedly.

It cant be that you can get addicted to online lottery or even offline lottery because it is hard to win in this game and then the drawings do also takes time but for slots and other games which results can be instantly seen, yes and it's also more easier to win on them. I do gamble when I am stressed out but this doesn't mean that I am one of those who are addicted to gambling.

In gambling, I believe that it's not only about money or profit which can make players come back on a gambling place but it can also be because of the graphics or the theme of the game that they are playing. This gives them a good feeling or what we called a dopamine.

Sometimes factors that don't work make us bored, so most people choose online slot gambling to play. At first it was just a fad, but over time it became a habit and was hard to leave.

Not necessarily people who are addicted to gambling are rich because by offering gambling to many people to be able to make money from gambling, many of them want to play gambling. Those who can't control themselves will become addicted because they keep trying their luck. Gambling addiction is just a matter of time for people who cannot stop and quit gambling and once they are addicted it will be difficult to overcome. They will keep playing non-stop and won't notice it until it's all gone.

Easily irritated. That's what I mostly see from friends not just addicted to gambling but with other habits too. i.e. smoking, alcohol.
It's a natural response when they have no money left to gamble or to spend on whatever they are obsessed about.
I said that because I feel them as I was also in the same position when I was smoking nonstop before. When I have no more money to buy a cigarette pack I get irritated and most of the time you cannot even talk to me as my brain just functions on how I can grab money to buy smoke.
You will definitely think about bad stuff when you are in that dilemma.

Actually this is quite natural if indeed their goal is to depend on their finances in gambling so that indeed this has more and more urges so that when trying to stop this it is as if they have nothing else to do so Gambling is the solution.
When this happens then gambling is actually something that is very difficult to get rid of and addiction will not be prevented.

Some do really make it as a last resort of their funds specially when they hadnt enough and tending to make it big? They are really making this as a last option on which they do really believe
and hope that they could able to fold for how many times of those particular amounts that they had without even thinking about the risk and probabilities for them to lose those amounts instead
of earning knowing that gambling isnt really giving out assurance for you to win. Addiction is something that had been molded due to these kind of aims and mindset towards gambling.
If you do really believe  that you could make yourself rich with gambling then you would really be having this kind of approach and dealing with it.

Once I lost some reasonable amount of money while gambling I always put a stop and close hurriedly close gambling site thus giving myself a breathing space to avoid any form of emotion while trying to win back my losses, though it takes a lot of discipline to accomplish that because of addiction which had caused a lot of damages and havoc to addicted gamblers, I knew the implication of continuing gambling will lead to rekting of account, I will rather leave gambling till another day to start allover possibly I may be lucky and recover all my previous losses.

People get addicted if they do not discipline themselves, if they have no source of income, if they are not busy with something else. But if they discipline themselves, they will not be addicted.

Some people said that because a gambler win is the reason they get addicted, but that is no. Addicts can first lose, then win and lose again, but hoping to be successful in gambling is the reason they are addicted.

To stay not being addicted, it is always good to know that you can not be successful with gambling, that makes you always think that you should use just little amount that you can afford to lose to gamble.

If a gambler always realize that only the house takes advantage on gambling, then he won’t be gambling for money but more on for pleasure and fun. Otherwise, he’ll end up falling into gambling addiction, yet unsatisfied with the profits he gained.

I believe that gambling addicts never imagine theirselves going there, but since they gamble without discipline that made them lose everything, they start chasing for losses until they end up being addicted in it.

Supposedly gambling should give you entertainment but since many gamblers treat this as their main source of income

I pity those that see gambling as the main source of their income, I even pity those that see gambling as a source of income, what do happen at the end is that they will find themselves losing. Those are the people that will later be using the amount they can not afford to lose to gamble and become addicted and gambling become a problem for them.

I disagree with your sentiment.  Those who see gambling as a source of income are far more careful than any other gambler.  They are the people who always plan their actions not to get completely busted in their gambling session.  Since they don't have any other means of earning, they will definitely make the best decision in every bet they made.  I believe that they are also the ones who are less likely to get addicted because they will always give ample thought to their every gambling action.

On the contrary, those who seek entertainment are more likely to become addicted because of the dopamine effect. Those who are hooked with the entertainment and the huge reward might strive to play longer and might possibly lose control of the time element in chasing big wins.  Losing control of time element in gambling is one sign of becoming a gambling addict.

The best way towards have a good gambling experienced is when you see gambling as an high risk way of losing money and only set the amount you can afford to lose for it and this can be possible if the person realize that gambling is not a way to earn money.

I highly agree with you, and experienced gamblers who use gambling as their main source of income know this, since they know this, they got the audacity to challenge the house and make gambling their main source of income.

I too am easily irritated if I'm on a losing streak. That's how it goes when I gamble and I know that it feels the same for the others. And having other vices, well, that's going to make it worse for the others that can't contain their craving to gamble and have nothing left anymore in the pocket.
At least for me when I'm irritated, I just felt being a loser and that's the feeling that makes me irritable but eventually it will be gone as the time passes, I'll just think of any other good thing to move on.
