How can we identify someone who is addicted?

[Mindyspace]

Sometimes addiction starts subtly, and by the time we realize it, it's already having an impact. So, yes, it's good to prepare and face the fact that difficult times may come, instead of ignoring the issue.

In this case, I also have some advice: it's always good to have balance to play with maturity; otherwise, you'll hit rock bottom. It's also always good to have patience and strategy to achieve good results in the game.

How can we identify someone who is addicted?

There are many signs but the observer should be aware that those signs are about addiction in gambling in particular. Some of them are:
- Constantly thinking about gambling and the next bets, and dreaming about winnings.
- Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than what planned.
- Feeling agitated, anxious, and depressed when not practice gambling regular.
- Hiding the extent of gambling from family, friends, or therapists. They may lie to hide how big the losses.
- Relying on loans from different sources to overcome the desperate financial situations caused by gambling.
- Shows unusual interests in sports news and updates.
- Mood swings.
- Suddenly selling valuable things without a clear reason.
- Absence from social meetings like with friends or family.
- .....

It's not exactly to notice all those symptoms. Just 4+ signs to conclude that those are symptoms of gambling addiction.

There are some addicts you don't need someone to tell you that they are addict because of their appearance and the way they gamble  and there are also some addicts that you can hardly recognize more especially those that has not turn an an addict completely, those ones are still more conscious than those that are completely and totally addicted and these ones hardly change or listen to you because they  feel they are right in what they are doing even though they feel miserable after losing some money. The answer to your question is that you can Identify an addict the way they gamble.

I think addiction is one of those lifestyles that can't be hidden no matter how hard the addicted one tries. When you meet someone who is addicted, the attitude towards betting and how desperate he/she can be will tell you something. For some people who have money, you start to see the way they become so broken in a short period of time. they change character wise and even change people they associate with to those who believe in the same opinion. You don't need too much to know them.

I think when you are trying to win by all cost then you should know that you are addicted because if you keep repeating bet while you are losing, that means you are losing money and chasing to have the money back. It is an addicted gambler that will keep being eager to regain what he has lost. So a gambler will become addicted when he is fighting too hard to win. Much of the other signals are going to spring from having inching fingers to play or gamble all the time because you are losing and chasing back the loses. I have seen a gambler who doesn't care about the time of the day, his fault is always struggling to win back losses and by that he stays in an offline casino longer than necessary.

Someone can be considered being addicted when he's doing that is interfere his daily life. i.e when gambling reaches the states it's disturbing your activity, society, and even your relationships. He can be considered being addicted to the gambling. The word of interfere already reflect everything that makes you lose your focus to do your activities.

Anything that makes one lose focus not just on money, as many center their addiction sign base on the amount a gambler is spending on gambling. As long as the person's daily life activities are affected, work, school or whatever that's been suspended because they want to gamble, then the person should be considered to be on its way to getting addicted or is already addicted.

I think every gambler can feel when they have reached the point of addiction, but they usually deny or ignore those signals. When someone gambles beyond the limits they have set, whether in terms of budget or time, I think they are already addicted, regardless of their initial intention of just having fun.

Some people can stop immediately once they realize it, while others may need help and advice from close friends to be able to quit. It cannot be denied that gambling is very enjoyable, especially when one often gets lucky and wins, regardless of the amount, this is often the biggest attraction that keeps people coming back.

We can see this from the way a person gambles and their behavior. If, for example, they want to gamble and the situation doesn't allow it, but they still force themselves to do so, that could be a sign of addiction. And in fact, we ourselves will feel the effects and realize we're addicted, but not everyone can realize it easily.

Yes, we must play the game in front of us, not let it play us. When the situation changes, where we are being played by gambling, that's when addiction can no longer be hidden.

Bad behaviors don't hide unless you are involved in the same act.

A warning sign of compulsive gambling addiction is when it takes up most of your day, it becomes a must do action even when you are not financially buoyant, without minding the consequences of breaking down financially.

Gambling addicts also find it hard to accept the fact that they are addicts, when you start seeing any of these signs listed out, see it as a warning and correct your path. Financial and mental constraints are always the last part of the damage.

You don’t need to be good at spotting it. Once someone becomes addicted, a gambler’s behavior naturally changes. You can feel when you are in the circle of gamblers.

But this is not the thing you should look into before gambling. Instead, ask yourself, what is your purpose of gambling? If you want this because of flashy rewards and big prizes as shown by influencers. Better not to think about gambling because that will be one reason for falling into addiction. And also, you must know that gambling is not always a win but more often a loss.

[Rockstarguy]

You can identify someone who is addicted to gambling by their abnormal way of betting. They consider gambling the most important thing and prefer to bet with any money they have; they may do anything to raise money to gamble. If you are struggling financially and still see gambling as a game that must be played, it is a sign that one is addicted to gambling.

Another sign is that one will always gamble frequently, and there won't be any breaks, irrespective of how much they have lost in gambling; they continue to play to recover their losses.

You become addicted immediately when you can't do without gambling in a day even with some money that doesn't belong you. An addict will gamble with any available money thinking he/she he will definitely win.

If a gambler is more focused on gambling than on his other normal activities and spends most of his day gambling, then we can easily identify that the gambler is severely addicted. He will not hesitate to commit any kind of criminal activity to manage gambling money. An addicted gambler may be involved in heinous crimes like theft, robbery, robbery and even kidnapping to manage gambling money. He will neglect his responsibilities, especially towards his family members, and will not care about how the family is doing or fulfill his family responsibilities. He will be so agitated that if anyone suggests to him to refrain from gambling, he will get annoyed with them.

You are correct that the sooner the warning signs are seen the better since the addiction does not occur overnight. A definite indication is the situation where gambling becomes more important than work, family, and everyday duties. An addict finds himself spending too much time either thinking about gambling or getting involved in gambling even when it is a cause of financial strain. Emotional behavior is also another good indicator and the person may get defensive or irritated when other people challenge his/her gambling habits. In the long run, they can take loans whether for the first or the second time, fabricate losses, or pursue losses in order to regain the lost ones. Ignoring family responsibilities and well being is also typical. Although not all addicted gamblers resort to crime, the possibility of these tendencies rising is high when a person feels desperate, and it is possible to avoid it by realizing the risk at an early age.

I think this is a relevant question, because its might seem obvious to experience players, but for beginners it is sometimes very difficult to recognize the signs of addiction. However, these signs will always become clearer on a person's altered behavior or as a financial or emotional problem. To answer simply, I think you can use the following thisrule: gambling become an addiction when it ceases to be a pleasurable choice and become a constant need.

For example, you need to play today? or  can you wait until to next week without experiencing any psychological problems? The answer to that will tell you if you are addicted or not.

Regarding behavior, I think the main symptom is the loss of control over the time and frequency with which a person gambles. When they start gambling more than planned, having longer sessions, or gambling more regularly, that is a clear warning sign of addiction. The second is financial... is the person neglecting essential bills or even incurring debt to gamble? If so, then this is already a very serious addiction problem.

Of the two symptoms you mentioned, the first step is the determinant of whether or not a person will become an extreme gambling addict,
because this will be related to mental or psychological problems.

There are no more rules that are carried out properly, playing continuously without knowing the time
and in the end the money that should be allocated for gambling is not enough and uses money for other needs.

This will trigger a more severe addiction, because people who are just addicted to it simply increase the frequency of the game
without affecting the strict rules on the amount of allocation devoted to gambling or entertainment.

Generally, recognizing gambling addiction isn't particularly difficult. Typically, it involves significant financial losses that create difficult-to-overcome problems in life. More precisely, gambling addiction can manifest itself in a wide variety of ways, even the most bizarre ones, but without significant financial problems, I believe gambling addiction doesn't exist.
But the most important are the early signs of gambling addiction, which aren't yet accompanied by significant financial losses.

Addiction don't just happening in a day . It is repetition of the same thing on regular basis, that is gambling on daily basis by so doing well are building up a habit and once this habits is formed it will be very hard for us to let it go.  An addicted gambler can easily be identified, reason being that they can think of any other thing aside gambling. They are will to take unnecessary risk just because of gambling and also they do spend most of there time in gambling hall or online casino.

[fruktik]

Once you see yourself breaking your own rules that you set for gambling, it's a clear sign that you are on the edge of getting addicted. It all starts simple and grows to a stage where you can no longer control it.

On the brink of addiction... Hmm... Interesting statement. Does that even exist? If there's an addiction, then there it is. There's no in-between state. I don't think there is. It's just that sometimes we're afraid to admit it to ourselves. Fear paralyzes us. It prevents us from thinking logically and acknowledging the problem. It's better not to fall into the trap of this illusion. Be on guard and take timely action that could even save your life.
