Chasing Bet refers to the behavior where a player, after experiencing a loss, continuously increases their wager amount or bets frequently in an attempt to "recover the lost funds." It is a classic negative betting behavior highly correlated with "Tilt" (emotional loss of control).

Mechanism

Common manifestations of chasing bets include:

• Persistent betting on the same match/event.

• Increasing bet sizes as losses accumulate.

• The mindset of "I will definitely win it back this time."

• Impulsive solo betting late at night.

• High-frequency In-play (Live) betting to chase immediate results.

Risk Warning: Chasing behavior is extremely high-risk and is used as a Risk Tag in iGaming risk management.

Usage Scenarios

• Loss of mental balance after a losing streak.

• The desire for a quick recovery of capital.

• Social/Group chasing: When a community "tipster" fails, leading to collective chasing by followers.

Risk / Compliance Points

• It is a key monitored behavior under Responsible Gaming (RG) protocols.

• Platforms should trigger Risk Alerts or Limit Warnings.

• If abnormal fund flows occur, it may trigger CDD (Customer Due Diligence) or EDD (Enhanced Due Diligence).
