Slot machine addiction

Demeevka works with this service confidentially and without judgement. First it is important to assess the person's condition, the risks and motivation and to choose the form of help that is appropriate right now.

Slot machine addiction

Slot machines cause addiction especially fast: short cycles, bright signals and the "near-miss" effect keep a person playing and push them to continue. The dependence forms unnoticed and quickly destroys finances.

At the first stage we assess the severity of the addiction, the debts, the emotional state and the risk of depression.

When to seek help

When you cannot stop, play "with your last money", feel guilt and relapse after pauses.

How we help

The basis is psychotherapy and work on craving; if needed, rehabilitation.
