Gambling addiction, also known as compulsive gambling or gambling disorder, is a serious mental health condition in which someone displays the inability to control their urge to gamble, despite negative—oftentimes dire—consequences. It is not occasional betting or playing harmless games of chance, mind you, but a destructive pattern that can have profound impacts on one’s financial, social, and mental well-being.
