It’s been hard for me to fully quit it, stopped for like 3-4 days and i’m back at it. Didn’t lose much, $50-$100 here and there, not financially ruined or anything. Feel like it’s because online gambling is easy to access. Am I really addicted or just bored?

I’m in the same boat. I would say if your spending is excessive for entertainment and you feel an urge to play that you can’t shake, it’s addiction.
It’s not normal to spend $100 on gambling when you would normally only spend $10 on other entertainment. It’s not normal to want to play at all hours of the day when you normally only want to entertain yourself when you’re free in the afternoon.
That has been my experience.
Gambling access online is beyond easy, especially now more recently with these prediction markets – i recommend self exlcuding or getting a [blocker](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/checkpoint-quit-gambling-now/id6754121521)
Is it really just entertainment for you? I don’t think it is for anyone.
You took the post i wanted to type and copied me
Im in the same boat. i only lost 130 today but overall im up in my 6 months of this dumb addiction. I’ve had anhedonia for the last 10 years now and online slots has been the 2nd thing to help me. All i want is for my girl on my favorite slot game to GRANT MY WISH. I dont even need the money, i make plenty and got plenty saved but ALL i want to do is spin. I even know im a loser and shouldn’t but i feel my addiction growing by the day. It doesnt even help me anymore, im miserable as i spin now.
