What is problem gambling?

Like many other addictions, compulsive betting is rooted in an uncontrollable urge and obsession, which if left unchecked, can lead to (among other things) financial hardship.

Unfortunately, one of the most common symptoms of this disease is deception; problem gamblers will go to great lengths to hide the problem, not just from others, but also from themselves. As a result, detection can come late after adverse consequences are revealed and with dire consequences.

A negative vicious cycle often develops, wherein the gambler seeks relief or even a solution through increased gambling. The ensuing financial and emotional deterioration affects every aspect of a bettor’s life from family and friends to business colleagues and associates.

Compulsive gambling is a disease that does not discriminate. Anyone is susceptible regardless of gender, age, race, or financial status. Fortunately, once detected, it is an addiction that can be successfully treated.

The warning signs:

Sacrificing time from work or family in order to gamble
Repeated inability to stop or control betting
Borrowing money to gamble or to pay off previous bets
Use of gambling as an emotional escape
Self-neglect or neglect of family due to gambling
Lying about time or money lost to betting
Gambling more in order to recoup previous losses (“chasing”)
Obtaining money for gambling by selling/pawning personal property
Feelings of hopelessness, depression or suicide

What is pathological gambling?

Pathological gambling has been listed as a recognized psychological disorder in the international classification systems DSM-IV and ICD-10 since 1980. It is defined as persistent, recurring and often increasing gambling despite negative personal and social consequences such as debt, breakdown of social relations and impairment of professional development.
