Addiction signs: when to stop
The main signs of gambling addiction: (1) inability to stop playing (anxiety when not playing); (2) hiding gambling from others; (3) chasing losses with new larger bets; (4) diverting money from essential obligations (food, rent, loan payments); (5) emotional state tied to game outcomes (anger, sadness, lack of focus); (6) borrowing money to play. If you or someone close to you shows 2 or more signs — seek professional help.
