Can investing with HYIPs be addictive?

This is a controversial topic, but it's worth talking about.

During all these years, I have met HYIP players in the throes of a real addiction, which leads them to risk more and more trying to recoup the losses they have suffered. Even if you are a wise and savvy investor, I still recommend you read this article.

We are human, meaning we can become addicted to things.

We can become addicted to good things and we can also become addicted to things that pretend to be good like psychoactive substances or alcohol, or even gambling. This last type of dependence is similar to investment dependence on HYIPs.

In fact, as we have already explained on other occasions, investing money with HYIPs is a sort of gambling or betting.

What are the signs of a HYIP addiction?

Worry and Anxiety: Are you constantly opening projects in your browser? Do you consult the various monitors? Are you looking forward to the withdrawal moment? These are attitudes that can represent prodromes for addiction, be careful!

Thrill seeking: Are you investing larger amounts or more frequently? Pay attention to what you do, like alcohol addiction, it may be that you are becoming addicted and to experience greater emotions you are led to overcome the famous threshold of "invest only what you can afford to lose".

Escape from reality: do you have family or work problems? Be careful, playing HYIPs will not improve your mood or make you escape from problems.

Loss of Control: Are you desperately (and probably unsuccessfully) trying to win back HYIP losses with additional HYIP investments? Ask yourself this question.

If only some of these signs apply to you, it doesn't necessarily mean you're addicted to HYIPs. Try stopping the game and see what will happen. If you are unable to do this, you are most likely addicted to HYIP.

But what can you actually do? How can you free yourself?
Since HYIP addiction is a form of gambling addiction, you can act as if you were addicted to roulette or poker – we recommend contacting a gambling addiction expert! There are free services that help with gambling addiction. You will also find many helpful resources if you search for “gambling addiction help” on Google.

The first step to getting rid of the addiction is to realize the problem and make it harder for yourself to access HYIPs.

If you play casino games, your chances of winning against the casino are practically zero. If you play HYIP the chances of winning are higher, but this statement remains valid only in case, if the admin plays well and if everything goes well. If something goes wrong, your chances go back to zero. I have to agree that if you suffer from true addiction then you need to treat it somehow, but of course that's up to you.
