Afternoon,

i have a question for you!
My friend deposits almost every day in online casinos. When I talk to him about it, he is easily loud and does not want to know about it! Especially he always deposits more when he loses! And I despair already. does it count as Gambling addiction?

Can you not say 100% clearly from a distance, how is it socially and financially? Has he ever been unable to pay a bill because of this or had to borrow money, has he restricted his activities with friends and is more often at home playing, how does he behave if he does not pay in for a while?

The fact that he gets very loud indicates that he has losses that are weighing him down, don't have to be bad yet but can end very badly if he is not careful.

Hello Ankor

He also pays money [paypal] when he has no money in his account . Then he is over 300 euros in the. minus. and when I approach him he says I'm just doing this for FUN . .
and when he can't Deposit anything, he wants me to do it. [of course I do not do it] then he becomes loud and so

If he pays via PayPal (which debit the account only 2 days later by direct debit) although he knows that there is no money in the account, you can no longer assume healthy gaming behavior. Depending on your financial situation I would think about it - if there is enough money in the background it doesn't matter much, but if you have to watch the money you better have a serious talk with him. This can derail very quickly and you lose more and more for weeks while trying to recoup the initial losses

Good day

thank you for your answers

He is looking for the faults with me and not with himself. But always when he played. Now he has still made it. Because I'm so annoying with the subject of online gambling

If the fault that he loses his money in the online casino lies with you, you can be happy that he has broken up with you. He will then contact you soon to borrow money because he can no longer pay his bills

That's sick, isn't it?
I have now packed my things and will move out. It's ridiculous... Especially he doesn't even see his mistakes. He just said he can do what he wants with his money... blablabla

Oh dear, it is then really better for you to take distance for the time being. Maybe he realizes that it's not so much fun to lose his money like that, he has to realize it first, before that you can't offer any help. Many people who are addicted do not admit it, are quickly aggressive and take a defensive attitude. They don't want to be seen as losers and try everything to win the money back, but this is a vicious circle that is very difficult to escape.

Don't get into anything, don't borrow money no matter how "urgent" the situation is! At most spend a meal, but never money directly into the hand - that is eaten immediately. Not everyone is like that, but a lot of gambling addicts don't know what to do in such moments and are desperately looking for the redeeming win, which usually doesn't come.

That's right, if I understood correctly, but he overdraws his account to gamble, so it is then no longer his money but the money of the bank ..
