😰COMPULSION PLAY

The Compulsion Avalanche: Slide Safely

The thrill of “just one more game” can hit like a midnight pizza craving — and sometimes, the regret hits just as hard.

Compulsive gambling doesn’t start with a crash; it builds quietly. One more spin, one more bet, one more chance to win it back. That’s the compulsion avalanche — subtle at first, then unstoppable if you don’t catch it early.

What’s Happening Behind the Scenes?

• Your brain loves the rush – Wins release dopamine, creating a reward loop that’s hard to resist.

• Losing feels like a challenge – We chase losses like they’re a puzzle we can solve.

• Time disappears – Game design makes hours vanish like nothing.

Pro Tips to Stay in Control

Set a Timer Before you play, set a time limit. When it’s up, stop. No excuses.

Take Breaks Even five minutes can snap you out of tunnel vision. Walk around, do something offline.

Stick to a Budget Decide what you’re willing to lose before you start. No reloading.

Track Your Sessions Log when you play, how long, and how it went. Self-awareness is key.
