In this article, we review the most common signs of a gambling problem and what you can do to get back on track. You can become addicted to many, many good things. Wine, tobacco, food, shopping - the list is endless. Games also belong here - and as the Internet itself is addictive, online gaming is a killer in the field. You know for yourself whether you easily become addicted - whether you often overdo things you like. If you eat more than you should. If you wake up after a wild shopping trip and feel sick of annoyance. If the size of the wine bottles seems smaller and smaller - well, then it's time to be vigilant.

Check out how much of the below you recognize in yourself. You:

• Spending more money on games than you originally expected.
• Gets annoyed easily if someone or something bothers you while playing.
• Pursuing your losses - trying to win back the lost money.
• Losing the sense of time and playing longer than planned.
• Don't tell the truth to those close to you.
• Do not stop once you win, but keep playing until the money is gone.
• Definitely believe in the big win.
• Think you're losing because you're not playing well enough.
• Spending more and more time playing and thinking about games.
• Must play with bigger and bigger bets to achieve the same excitement.
• Spend more money on games than what you tell your friends.
• Selects games rather than family, friends and work.

You are not alone

ere are people who understand you and can help you. Human psychology is what it is - we all work more or less in the same way. There are e.g. good chances that you can find a group of so-called "anonymous gamblers" not far from where you live. Take the phone and have a short chat. It can change your life. In many of the online casinos and poker rooms you can set your own limits on how much you want to play for. You can ask these sites to block your playing account so that you will not be tempted for a moment's weakness.
