Note this the amount of money lost or won doesn't determine when gambling becomes problematic. Because many people believe that when you loose a specific amount of money in gambling them gambling is then problematic to a person. And other consider gambling to be problematic when it only give a person a financial problems, no I don't think so. What I consider problematic is not only when gambling cause you financial problem, but if gambling is interfering with individual's relationships, job, mental or physical health or any area of their life then gambling is problematic. So what about you guys what do you think? You contributions matters.

1. There are no specific amount of money as everyone has different incomes and different life situations.

2: Even if you would try to make some generic losing % of your budget, it wouldn't apply to anyone else but yourself because of necessary expenses vary with people. And situations change during your life a lot, expenses can change as well as your income. So i need to renew my budget often. Meaning that while there's no number i can put to it.

3: Only you and sometimes your close circle of relatives and friends can define what line you need to cross, for it to become a problem.

4. For me, it's trying to bend my own rules, when i notice i might end up on a problematic area. So i stick under my own gambling budget that can currently change only by me decreasing it.

If i ever go over it, i will immediately accept that i might have a problem and don't want to downplay it. I might not quit if it was just a little amount, and we all make mistakes, but if i do it again soon after, i will deal with the problem accordingly (like quitting gambling for a year, or something similar).
