Gambling addiction

SIM

My experience was that my OR wanted to know how much I'd spent on Gambling over the 2 years prior to BR. I put together a spreadsheet showing profit and loss. Although my spending on betting was fairly high, it was more or less balanced by the winnings and therefore had little impact on the BR. It was not mentioned again after that.....

They will look at your bank statements, obviously will see who you gamble with..

Then the contact the company's in question as get s full breakdown of what has been spent and they close your accounts.

I heard about such people, but I can't imagine how it is happening. I'm a player, I like casino games and I think that I can stop when I want, I have no feeling that I'm addicted.

Addicts can stop when they want, but there is a part of them that doesn't want to stop.

Anything you automatically do when you are stressed that makes you feel bad later would be an addiction. Whether it's reaching for a bag of dorritos, packet of hob nobs, or a kilo of the finest.
If you can afford to gamble and make rational choices that you are comfortable with afterwards then it's up to you, it you are losing money all the time but don't see a problem with that then you might want to look at your motives.
