What Is Gambling Addiction?

Gambling addiction (also known as ludomania) is a psychological condition that causes people to compulsively gamble despite harmful consequences — including financial loss, personal distress, and social isolation. In 2018, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified it as a mental health disorder under ICD-11.

Main Causes of Gambling Addiction

Research has identified several causes behind compulsive gambling:

Psychological cycles: Difficulty stopping once the gambling pattern begins.
Social influence: Exposure to gambling at a young age or influence from peers.
Cognitive issues: Impaired judgment or decision-making skills.
Financial pressure: Attempting to solve financial problems through gambling.

Warning Signs of Addiction

It’s vital to recognize these signs early. Signs may include:

Withdrawal from family and friends;
Betting becomes the only interest;
Strong urges to place more bets;
Escalating deposit amounts or irrational belief in winning;
Anxiety or aggression when not gambling;
Repeated failed attempts to quit.

If you experience these signs, seek help immediately.

Have you missed work or neglected relationships due to betting?
Have you tried but failed to quit?

If you answer “yes” to three or more, consider seeking help.
