If someone has registered on 8-10 gambling sites , is he a gambling addict ?

[Agbe]

Let me start with the simple answer, No. Someone that registered in one casino site can becomes a gambling addict and someone that registered with multiple casinos might not be an addict because all depends on the way the person playing gamble in the sites or the site.  The amount spend daily in the casino or in the casinos can determine his gambling behavior. But psychologically if the person spend more hours with a lot of money in day, he is an addict and if the is not spending much hours and only Play small amount and left the site for days, he is not an addict.

Addict or bonus hunter I think. I know it's a practice to actually hunt bonuses on multiple gambling sites but you need some friends to do it with you as well as some of them might lose but if 1 wins it's enough. I don't know exactly what this works but here in Romania there are people buying gambling accounts in order to hunt bonuses with them.

The other reasons would be being an addict or simply having a lot of money that you can play whenever you want.

That makes sense, because I have friends who gamble with their own capital and rely on the bonuses offered by casinos. They register, make deposits, and take advantage of the bonuses. If they're lucky, they withdraw their winnings. If they're not, they try again at another casino. The cycle continues, and it continues to this day.
But it's very possible that they do this because they're addicted or obsessed with chasing wins in gambling.

Gamblers can decide to have multiple accounts in different casinos it doesn't necessarily mean that they are addicts, it can be part of the fun for them to be alternating their favorite casinos when they want to gamble. Although registering in 10 casinos is too much by my estimation atleast 3 to 4 is reasonable for me but many accounts could be what gives some gamblers Joy. On the other hand addicts can also have many accounts of up to 10 in different casinos maybe to take advantage of any freebies that can pop up in any of them. An addict can be using one or more casinos what makes them addicts is their irresponsible gambling.

The question is, do they even try playing with it, or are they just checking it out?
This could be considered an initial test, starting with graphic quality, site and support responsiveness. I used to register with many casino sites not to play, but just to browse because some pages were inaccessible unless logged in. This is far from addictive behavior.

I`m registered in 10 casinos if i don`t mistake. I have 2-3 main casinos, but sometimes other casinos give event i need , i don`t have in main ones, or odds seriously better. I don`t think it is a problem or gambling addiction. If i have some time - i search the best odds. If i have to make a bet fast - i just check main casinos and make a bet. The main part of it has their mobile apps(good enough), so it is easy to check it anywhere in 2 minutes each.

I think that many are trying as well upon creation of their accounts. But just like you, many of them are only testing the casino if it's a good one based on its designs and responsiveness on mobile.

And if someone keeps on doing that, that's not a sign that they're a gambling addict. Because many does it for testing and possibly they're website testers and giving feed back to the casino if some of its functions are not working.

As others are saying, that is an indication for them that it shows how addicted they are. We'll not know if we know the person personally.

i think no, you are gamble addicted or not it’s never depend on how many accounts you registered in the different casino platforms,
i have more accounts in many gambling sites, because when i see a new casino platform launched in market, they offering 20% to 50% deposit bonus and other many opportunities then i don’t miss these offers. you know if a gambler addicts in gambling, it’s enough with one account,  because there no limitation to bet in one website and no limits in deposit. addiction is depend on your chasing in bet i think.

[Somto9Light]

Well I can't possibly consider those gamblers that run from one gambling site to the other as gambling addict because I know that most of them have thier reasons for doing that it could be due to bonus offers why most gamblers might be doing that to find the best site that has a high odd. I'm speaking based on experience because there's a friend of mine that like moving from one site to the other just in search of the one that has a higher odd and this friend I'm talking about here is a responsible gambler so I think it all depends.

Players who hunt for bonuses fall in this category too well, most of them don't get addicted despite spending less trying out different bonus opportunities. In a case where someone is addicted it's written on some casinos TOS to have the user expelled across all other online casinos, I'm not sure of how it's achieved or ways players tweak around such sanctions.

It all depends on why someone is registered at that many sites but does not instantly make someone addicted to gambling. These casinos and bookmakers are constantly throwing offers at new customers, so you would have to be mad not to take advantage of them when the deal is good. Not every offer is worthwhile, some might have high wagering requirements or a short time to complete, so you really have to read the terms carefully. Besides that, as long as a gambler is responsible and understands they might need to share sensitive data like KYC (so they should be wary of the security and size of the site), then go for as many sign ups as you want. The actual amount and frequency of play is the real indicator on if someone has a problem.

If someone gambles by registering only on a few sites, we cannot call him an addicted gambler because if that gambler thinks that he is making a profit by using any strategy, it is completely his own matter. But if we are aware of a few things normally, then we can easily understand whether gambling on 8-10 sites is normal or not. Usually, many people register on different sites for bonus hunting for some or the other reason. If someone registers on more sites, he has to face more complications. He has to deposit money on each site. If he uses more sites, it also takes more time. If someone can control gambling on all the sites, it is completely his own matter, but if he does not do that, then he is more likely to suffer losses.

I think if you have been spending a lot of hours in a casino, it's a sign that you're about to get addicted or you're already addicted. Because when we do things that consumes too much of our times, that only means that it's excess and abnormal already. And when someone does that, it's an abnormal way of spending time when they do that. Thus, that's a sign of being a gambling addict. The number of sites registered and the number of hours spent are two different things, don't be confused that they're just the same because I also think that the number of sites doesn't define someone if they're addicted or not.

That's a valid distinction. Time spent is indeed a more solid behavioural metric than the number of accounts. However, the traditional definition of addiction centres on loss of control and negative impact, not just duration. Someone can gamble for many hours yet remain within strict financial and time boundaries they’ve set which could prove to be problematic but not necessarily addictive.

Conversely, a person with one account who gambles secretly, chases losses, and prioritizes it over responsibilities shows classic addiction signs. Therefore, while multiple registrations can be a red flag (e.g., seeking new bonuses after self-excluding elsewhere), the true indication lies in the overall behaviour and harm caused, regardless of the platform count.

I agree, someone can gamble for hours and yet they are not losing that much and are only spending within their capacity. That's why if a gambler keeps on gambling for so long and yet they are responsible with how much they are spending. That's just fine. So it's situational that someone who gambles within less casinos and yet, the amount that they are spending is so much and could be half of their salaries or even more than what they can afford to lose. So, it's very situational and depending on how a gambler spends their money and time.

[r_victory]

Not necessarily. Nowadays, there are many casino options available, catering to all tastes. It's normal for someone to create accounts at various casinos to test them out and see which one best suits their needs. And that doesn't make them addicted. I have accounts at several casinos, just like I do with banks and exchanges; I mostly use those that provide me with the best services, and you can only find out by testing them.

Gambling addiction is not like that. Your approach matters alot in gambling because it's only when you don't apply wisdom in the game that you would get cut off, without that a gambler can never get addicted to gambling.

 As long as you are gambling responsibly without thinking of getting rich overnight there's nothing wrong in registering with different sites because many gamblers prefer to get familiar with other gambling sites.

[LucyFurr]

Most likely if the person is betting on all those platforms regularly and it is no different from using one platform or multiple platform at the same time. The reason for using multiple platforms is like they might have opted out for self exclusion on one but can't stop and want to gamble so registered on a new one and keep repeating until ends up with too many.

Registratering to a multiple gambling site doesn't make someone an addict, I have more than 5-6 different gambling site and the reason is that sometimes I use to forget.my password and I don't care recovering back especially if I don't like the gambling site and sometimes what makes me sign up another gambling site is the user interface and the kind of bonus they give to customers. I like when I'm gambling and the site is appreciating by giving you bonus or rewards. And it is possible to open more than 8 gambling sites and still use only one or two so how many gambling site one opens doesn't really mean someone is an addict.

Why only 8 to 10? I personally think that even if a person has accounts on over 100 gambling platforms, they can still gamble responsibly without being addicted. Because it's not like he opened an account on 100 gambling sites thats means he gambled on 100 sites every day, rather he can choose one casino at a time according to his choice and according to his offer, he can gamble within his ability to lose.
And if he does this, he is definitely not an addicted gambler. So I would disagree with this statement if someone says that if someone registers on 8 to 10 gambling sites, then he is an addicted gambler.

[BABY SHOES]

By having 8-10 gambling site accounts, it cannot be considered that he is addicted... what if they are just chasing bonuses or trying a new atmosphere with other casinos, because for me gambling addiction is considered that he can spend more money even in 1 gambling site, let alone playing every day without stopping, it is clear that he is addicted.

[Cookdata]

How can you manage 10 casinos at once or you mean having 10 different casino account. I don't even have upto 3 that's functioning except for the ones that makes it mandatory that you must registered before you have to work with their company on the forum, aside from that I don't have that number. My main purpose is the where I do have funds sometimes. Like now, I have money on Sportybet and I haven't log in there a while and I don't even have a reason and it's one of my favorite.

I don't think a reasonable gamble will run from one casino to another, it's not like they give something unique that will make me leave one casino to another. I'm not jobless to that extent.

[Makus]

Being registered on 8 to 10 gambling sites is weird but that doesn't mean that the person is addicted to gambling. there are people thay bet on multiple platforms based on the type of strategies they make use of. it is possible for such persons to be addicted to gambling but not in all cases.but i don't think having that 8 to 10 gambling sites is a responsible way of gambling  gambling ,what happened to just choosing one casino or sports book instead of using multiple sites. there is actually no benefits when you make use of such of amount of sites, it doesn't help you become a better gambler or anything, its absolutely pointless
