What is a Gambling Addiction?

If you are reading this, chances are that you or someone you care about has a problem with gambling.

Some of the common warning signs include:

• Being unable to control the urge to gamble, despite the harm it causes
• Losing track of time and playing for longer than you meant to
• Spending more money than you planned, or more than you can afford
• “Chasing your losses” to try to win back your money
• Using gambling to escape from problems, and to get relief from anxiety and depression
• Feeling hopeless, helpless, guilty and ashamed of your gambling

What causes a gambling addiction or problem?

It is generally accepted that addiction to gambling is not caused by a single factor, but rather by a combination of genetic and environmental influences.

An increase in gambling can be triggered by a variety of factors: stress, mental health issues, problems at work, relationship difficulties, loss, and so on. The bottom line is, if there are problems in your life – or your loved one’s life – due to gambling, there is a gambling
problem. Now is the time to act.

How do I know I have a problem with gambling?

You use gambling as a way to temporarily escape the problems in your life. You lose track of time and gamble for longer than you intend to. You keep gambling to try to regain some of your losses. You convince yourself that ultimately, gambling will pay off. You feel a strong
urge to gamble are often preoccupied with thoughts of gambling – it may feel like the most important thing in your life. You are neglecting other important aspects of your life. These are just some of many signs that gambling is a problem in your life.

Other possible signs of a gambling problem include:

• Lying about your gambling or keeping it a secret
• Experiencing conflicts with family and friends over gambling
• Borrowing money, using household money, or stealing money to gamble
• Neglecting work and family responsibilities because of gambling
• Feeling depressed or angry after gambling
• Believing that gambling will pay off in the end
• You are losing control and feel helpless and ashamed, and have no idea how you ended up in this downward spiral.
