What is

Compulsive gambling?

Compulsive gambling is a disorder in which the person is compelled by a psychologically uncontrollable urge to gamble and bet, persistently and progressively, negatively affecting personal and family life.

Compulsive Gambling

Symptoms

1- Can't stop

Besides money, the problem gambler is incapable of stopping in time. It is not a matter of choosing between one or the other form of leisure, but of being unable to leave the table, virtual or real.

2- You play with money you can't afford to lose.

The key to healthy gambling is to gamble only the money you plan to spend on that leisure activity, not to think you can pay off a debt through gambling, and worse, not to gamble with borrowed or saved money.

3- You do not enjoy betting

Thinking about spending money on the game should be the same as spending money at the movies or at a concert. If gambling is an escape from your life or other problems, if your gambling is compulsive and not for leisure.

4- You continue to play to recover what you have lost.

This is one of the worst options available, although it is very easy to make this mistake. One of the signs of a great player is knowing how to get up in time from a game that is not convenient.

5- You do anything to get money for the game.

6- The game affects your character.

Very pleasant experiences can be achieved with the game, even without the need to win. Knowing how to enjoy it improves you inside and out and teaches you how to relate, but if you see that you are becoming a worse person, you should recognize this symptom as soon as possible and take action.

7- Denial.

The major difficulty in distinguishing this sign is that a non-gambler will also deny that he or she is a gambler.

8- You put the game before other important things.

Pathological gambling

Consequences

Pathological gambling

Consequences

The gambler begins to feel bad about all the money lost. He lies to his family to hide his debts and the extent of his problem and begins to isolate himself from others. Feelings of sadness, anxiety, depression or irritability appear, which lead them to continue playing.

In the early stages, the family may try to help the person with gambling problems. However, hiding the addict’s debts often worsens the situation and ends up alienating the gambling addict’s family. This is when breakups, separations and divorces occur.

The work or academic situation of the problem gambler suffers when his or her gambling problems worsen. The person’s performance at work or studies decreases, demotivation and unjustified absences appear, which may lead to job abandonment or dismissal.

Debts accumulate as the person cannot stop gambling. the person turns to friends, relatives, co-workers, lenders or banks to finance his or her illness, which can lead to serious and even illegal situations.

Desperation for money may cause individuals with pathological gambling to commit theft, scams or other criminal activities to obtain money to gamble.

The person with pathological gambling begins to neglect friendships and there is a decrease in leisure activities and meaningful relationships begin to be lost.
