Is it a wide range of reasons or can you pin it down to different variations?

For me, someone is not an addict, for example, if he locks himself up for a few months and then has no desire for it.
Or is my assumption here too naive?

When everything revolves around gambling, you are addicted to gambling. Think that most people here are addicted to gambling. One less, the other more.

It's all a question of perspective... there are many indications that could be discussed, for example, it could also be addictive behavior if you go to a vending machine, throw 50€ in there and you firmly resolve not to throw anything more in afterwards. But as soon as the money is gambled away, you still throw it in and gamble away even more.
As for what you meant about someone who gets blocked and then has no desire to do so, that's a thing that varies from person to person, there are certainly many people who get rid of it relatively quickly, but there is also the well-known saying "opportunity makes thieves". For example, if someone gets banned, whether in an online casino or in a casino or anywhere else, they usually don't have the opportunity to continue playing. If, however, ne certain time later the opportunity can apply again, even if it is only a machine in the pub ... one can thereby very quickly fall back into the old pattern.
So it depends only on the personality of a person, whether he remains steadfast or not, similar to other addictions.

If you have money on the side that you do not necessarily need to live and you have decided not to gamble for a month and this is not possible without problems, then you are already a gambling addict in my opinion. But there are certainly also quarterly players or players who distract themselves from personal problems with gambling. They rarely gamble, but then they gamble so much that they ruin themselves or have financial problems afterwards. It is, as JulianK already said, different from person to person.

In my case it happened extremely quickly, I was already addicted to gambling at 13, but after Counter-Strike 1.6... Gambling then replaced this addiction, virtually merged with each other.

It's really weird: I used to play Counter-Strike for 10 hours or more a day and since the day I played at a Slot machine for the first time, I haven't played Counter-Strike for a second! Since my addiction center found the gambling probably significantly more stimulating...

So be careful people, it can go very very quickly, especially if you have little money at the beginning and then suddenly significantly more.

There are three phases of gambling addiction.

1. Casual gambler
2. Habitual gambler
3. Compulsive gambler

These are usually run through in order and differ from each other in their characteristics.
If you want to try to classify yourself, here are the details:

I think as with any addiction, there are very different characteristics.
I myself, for example, play more than I should and even if I have resolved not to play.Therefore, it is almost only with limits for me not to play.But that works out quite well.I would therefore already call me an addict.
On the other hand on a completely different level than others.
For example, I never have the urge to raise the stakes and have never done that.
I would never sign up for any slots or go to the Spielo because my Deposit limit is reached at my regular casinos.
I would never blow my money in such a way that I can't pay my obligations.

I have smoked for years, and somewhere there were such and such addicts.I was addicted and smoked every day, but only after work and on weekends.Others could not even hold off before work, which was a nogo for me.

So I think many are addicted, but the effects can vary extremely.

Relatively... I go zb. never again in a gambling house.

So really hooked me Online Casinos, because I have here with various slots monthly again and again good wins, but they do not always pay out !
Unfortunately, I have so far even if the money was on the account, played on and lost quite a lot again!!!

Would I never or only very rarely win what, then I would certainly no longer play.

I think anyone who plays regularly, even if they say it's just for fun, is already addicted. When I started playing, my bad luck was that I almost only won in the beginning. I was able to cash out some nice wins and then all of a sudden nothing worked. Instead of pocketing the win and leaving it at that, I tried to force the luck, which of course backfired. From then on I was trapped. I think if I had lost at the beginning, I would have let it go and never played again.
