Gambling can be addictive

Sometimes people forget gambling is meant to be a game and start looking at it as a way to make money. When they lose, they try to win it back, which leads to a destructive cycle of bigger losses followed by larger risks and even more damage.

Problem gambling affects more than just your finances. It also takes its toll on the people around you and affects your feelings of self worth, which can lead to depression. If you don’t get help it may eventually lead to you losing your job, or to the breakdown of important relationships.
