There’s a difference between someone who enjoys testing their luck in gambling and someone who is addicted to betting.
The easiest way to help a loved one who is addicted is by first understanding their addiction. It also is good to know what signs and symptoms to look for.
According to HELPGUIDE.org
You or your loved one may have a gambling problem if you/they:
-Feel the need to be secretive about your gambling.
-Have trouble controlling your gambling.
-Gamble even when you don’t have the money.
-Family and friends are worried about you
