Most likely, when you are in the situation where you got out of control there's no fun anymore and you'll keep chasing for the money, there's nothing important but either to win more or to recover whatever you loss, it's something about your own decision making that you need to work and control.
I have been there before so I know the feels of out of control. That makes me desperate and still want to try to recover my losses money. But luckily, my friends comes to me and saves me by dragging me away from my laptop and put me into his car to go to a place. I am glad that they come in the right time to save me so I can hold my minds from wanting of keep playing gambling. I almost become addiction in gambling and that makes me lose much money but I can get out from the addiction because of my friends and family. So yes, gambling addiction can cause you lose much money without you realize and you don't know how that can happen to you. That is why you must always stay aware when playing gambling and not let excitement tempts you to keep playing gambling. You will only regret when you see your losses without have a big chance to recover your losses.
Something that you won't want to happen as addiction really frustrates you and will keep push to play for more, there are gamblers who loves playing for fun and keep doing the right thing of limiting their participation but most of the time when that enjoyment already exceed there are always a big chance that they'll become addicted.
Glad to have someone to guide you up and lead you to right path to avoid that addiction, just play and have some fun with money that you allocates and a set target to let go.
