There are some warning signs if you're concerned that you or someone you know may have a gambling addiction. If you're hiding your habit from other people, maxing out your bank account and getting into debt as a result of your real money gambling the chances are you may be addicted. Likewise, if you're bunking off work to gamble, sneaking around to gamble, and thinking about real money gaming 24/7 the likelihood is your hobby has turned into a habit and you should seek help.
