Using gambling winnings to continue gambling does not invalidate a gambling addiction claim. Instead, it is one of the most distinguishable symptoms of a gambling disorder, which is a recognized medical issue.
This type of behavior is often called 'chasing losses,' wherein gamblers spend their winnings on trying to recover the money they lost. According to the American Psychiatric Association (APA), gambling is characterized by a pattern of continued but uncontrollable wagering despite its harmful effects.
The APA listed gambling addiction—be it online, sports betting, or physical casinos—as a 'Substance-Related and Addictive Behavior.’ In other words, it can affect how the brain works similarly to drugs and alcohol. An individual may already have a gambling addiction if they exhibit any of the following signs.
Like substance abuse, online gambling addiction can lead to serious and lasting impacts.
