I find myself impulsively going to a dice table or poker table and getting tilted to lose money. That is definitely one of the signs of being addicted to gambling.

Other than that, anytime you feel like going to gamble at random times should be a clear sign.

impulses are natural, it's just part of being human to have such impulses to do things you enjoy. I think your definition of addiction is either loose or classifying addiction to gambling as a different type altogether. personally, I'd mark a person as an addict (to anything, really) if they were consciously making the decision to pursue their addiction at the cost of something that may not be worth the trade-off or is a basic necessity. for example, if someone didn't pay their electricity bill to use the money at a casino, I'd consider them an addict.
