Chasing losses: Betting more in hopes of winning back what was lost previously is a worrying indicator commonly seen by Birches Health counselors in individuals struggling with gambling addiction.
Hiding or lying about betting activity: Some may feel the need to lie about or hide it from others, at times due to shame or embarrassment.
