ADDICTION TO ONLINE BETTING
Online gambling addiction, also known as ludomania or pathological gambling, is a condition characterized by the inability to resist the urge to gamble, despite the negative consequences that this may bring to the individual's life. This type of addiction can affect people of all ages and social backgrounds, and has become increasingly prevalent with the increase in accessibility to internet betting platforms.
Characteristics of Online Betting Addiction
Compulsion to Bet: The individual feels an uncontrollable need to bet, even when they do not have the financial means to do so.
Tolerance: Over time, the player needs to bet increasingly larger amounts to get the same feeling of excitement.
Abstinence: The absence of gambling can generate anxiety, irritability and other uncomfortable symptoms.
Loss of Control: The gambler often spends more time and money than planned on gambling activities.
Causes of Online Betting Addiction
Biological Factors: Studies indicate that there are genetic and neurobiological components associated with gaming addiction. Changes in the dopamine and serotonin systems can influence betting behavior.
Psychological Factors: Emotional problems such as depression, anxiety, loneliness and low self-esteem can contribute to the development of addiction.
Social Factors: Social pressure, aggressive advertising from gambling sites, and cultural acceptance of gambling can encourage gambling behavior.
