Gambling Addiction

I was wondering if anyone is addicted to gambling on habbo? And if so, does this affect you in real life? Are you also addicted to real-life gambling?

I'd class myself as a habbo-gambling addict. I can't control myself when I go into a casino. Or if I accidentally go into a casino, however it may happen, I can't help but start gambling. It worries me that this could pass on to real life money too :P.

So, do you gamble on habbo? Do you get addicted to habbo-gambling? If so, do you fear startng an addiction with real-life gambling?

no but i nearly fell into the trap because of you

lol Jordan :(. As soon as you do a large bet, you will get addicted ;)

I have three or four friends in real life that are (ex) gambling addicts... I only say ex because they've stopped doing it daily... how ever when they do start, they don't stop still... >->

If you have such an addictive personality that you get addicted to gambling in an MMOCC I do think it may be risky doing real-life gambling... also, if you believe that you are likely to become addicted to it - it's even more likely to happen... I speak from many years experience of addiction with myself and several close friends.

yeah. I lost 1700c in five minutes a week ago or something.

Overall, I've probably lost tens of thousands of coins :(.

I definitely am not planning to gamble in real-life, in the future. But you don't know if that addiction can twist your mind to do something, even if it is just pixels on a game :P

No, gambling is boring on habbo.

oh dear @Catchy;

I'm not a gambler at all! it really angers me when people bet and don't know when to stop like jake getting to like 85 gb and then losing it all. So stupid.

i dnt see the point in gambling tbh, im not really interested. I find it quite boring and time wasting, not like time matters on habbo or anythin its just like pple spend there day in a lagged up casino with a risk of losing everything they ever made or will make, why lol or the fact that people are scammers, and some scammers are quite clever.. overall, it is an addiction yh lol but i doubt ur gonna bcome a reallife gambler, unless u start u use real money to buy creds to gamble, thats baisicly worse than real gambling

I've never been addicted to actually betting myself, though I used to have a very large addiction to dealing and it's all I ever really did. Over time though especially since the first time I started merchanting when I was trying to raise money to build a cino (i'd built like 5 stacks that I needed and that was it so I just started to do it and I managed to build the whole thing pretty quickly in the end and it wasn't cheap either), it just sorta sunk in after a while that merchanting was far better for me and I just loved every aspect of it, so just sorta fell out of the allure of cinos. I do sometimes still like to sit in a booth but like whenever I do these days it just seems to be to chat when I'm in there and never to really take any bets cause I spend my creds way to quick to even be taking them anyway.

Never been addicted but I can see how many would get trapped

gamblers NEVER win in the long run. fact which i've learnt the hard way lmao

If you've paid for Habbo at all then you already are gambling real money...

I don't pay for habbo coins. I gamble to get them.

I doubt it would pass onto r/l cos habbo gambling is so much different + it depends if you understand how to gamble irl lol

OMG LOL HAH i had to literally drag you out or kick you ;l i remember cleaning you once too????

oh my god. I am so addicted.

I have bought over £300 worth of credits and yet I have gambled all of it....

I swear my addiction is so bad :\\\\

I lost 10 gbs one time, at that point I realized how much of an addict I would've become if I had kept going. It is addicting

I don't bet on Habbo, therefore I'm not addicted, but you guys should be careful, this could easily become a real life issue (and for some of you it already is if you're purchasing credits to bet). I would definitely not reccomend some of you to bet in real life.

I do place bets in real life, and to make sure that I don't make it a habit, I'll do about 1 bet every few months and not do anymore, whether I've won or lost. Luckily for me I've made a nice decent profit of a few hundred quid through gambling, but I still don't do it often.
