It is this combination of events with the game being both in the player\u2019s control but also not in their control that makes the game enjoyable but also highly addictive. When things are going well it is easy to put this down to the player\u2019s own skill but when it is not going well it is also easy to put this down to bad luck. It can therefore become all too easy to keep playing and it becomes an addiction.<a name=\"online\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"formatted-text  formatted-text--background\">\n\t<div class=\"container container--large\">\n\t\t<h2 id=\"why\">Why is Poker So Addictive?<\/h2>\n<p>Poker is highly addictive because it combines skill with the unpredictability of chance. This mix creates a psychological trap where players believe they can control the outcome, making it easy to become addicted to poker. The thrill of winning, coupled with the frustration of losing, drives players to continue playing, often leading to an addiction that can be difficult to break, especially when it comes to online poker, which offers constant accessibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"formatted-text  formatted-text--background\">\n\t<div class=\"container container--large\">\n\t\t<h2 id=\"gambling\">Is Poker Gambling?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, poker is a form of gambling. Even though it involves skill, the element of chance means that outcomes are not entirely within the player&#8217;s control. This combination can make quitting poker challenging for those who are addicted to online poker.<\/p>\n<p>However, understanding the addictive nature of poker and addressing the psychological drivers behind it is key to quitting poker and regaining control over one\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"formatted-text  formatted-text--background\">\n\t<div class=\"container container--large\">\n\t\t<h2>Online Poker Addiction<\/h2>\n<p>In the past to play poker required traveling to casinos, playing in private games, or playing at other venues but with the internet it is possible to play anywhere anytime. <\/p>\n<p>Online sites offer multiple tables and much faster play than in casinos. <\/p>\n<p>This means more hands can be played quicker increasing the risk of addiction and also personal gain or loss. <\/p>\n<p>Playing a popular game such as \u2018Texas Hold\u2019em\u2019 takes around five minutes in a casino but online can be less than 40 seconds. It is this ease of play and instant gratification and jeopardy that has made the risk of gambling addiction even greater due to online poker sites. <a name=\"symptoms\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"formatted-text  formatted-text--background\">\n\t<div class=\"container container--large\">\n\t\t<h2>Poker Addiction Symptoms<\/h2>\n<p>The following are symptoms of poker addiction:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li>General irritability<\/li>\n<li>Tiredness due to late night poker games and staring at computer or phone screens for extended periods<\/li>\n<li>Lying about playing poker \u2013 concealing the amount played or losts<\/li>\n<li>Spending work time, family time and much of your free time playing poker<\/li>\n<li>Spending money needed for other things on playing poker<\/li>\n<li>Constantly feeling the need to play another hand of poker<\/li>\n<li>Feeling bad after playing poker but then going back to play again<\/li>\n<li>Feeling guilty for the family and free time spent playing poker but not stopping<a name=\"treat\"><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"formatted-text  formatted-text--background\">\n\t<div class=\"container container--large\">\n\t\t<h2>It is possible to treat poker addiction?\/ How to quit poker addiction<\/h2>\n<p>Whether someone considers themselves a problem poker gambler, a compulsive poker gambler, or a poker addict they can set themselves free from the issue \u2013 as long as they go about it in the right way.<\/p>\n<p>Most mainstream methods of helping poker addicts focus on the use of willpower. The idea is to have the poker addict acknowledge that their problem is ruining their lives and the lives of their loved ones, and that they should commit to a lifelong battle resisting the temptation to play poker.<\/p>\n<p>If the gambler feeling bad about what they\u2019ve done to their family and swearing never to gamble again really worked \u2013 the gambler wouldn\u2019t have ended up seeking the treatment prescribing they do exactly that.<\/p>\n<p>They will have sworn off gambling dozens of times and failed. Some programs even rely on the addict acknowledging that they have an incurable disease which they will have to battle for the rest of their lives! No wonder they make people miserable!<\/p>\n<p>The key to curing poker addiction, to no longer being a problem poker player or compulsive poker player, is to have the addict understand exactly what it is that they think they enjoy about it.<\/p>\n<p>Gamblers already know about the downsides; the cost, the debts, the loss of property &amp; love, and the utter shame \u2013 there\u2019s no point in ramming that down their throat.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s highly patronising and entirely counter-productive. But looking at their perceived advantages of playing poker, and understanding the process they went through in becoming addicted is an entirely empowering, enlightening, and positive process which leaves the gambler ready to walk away from something that was devastating their lives and the lives of their family, with a smile on their face, like someone who has been released from the darkest, dankest, most uncomfortable dungeon.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly this process, far from being a lifetime battle, or requiring residential treatment (which itself costs thousands and thousands of pounds) takes just a few hours.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, if you\u2019re a problem poker player, compulsive poker player, or poker addict reading this there is no doubt that you can already sense, albeit sceptically, a little light at the end of the tunnel for the first time in your life.
