Gambling addiction is a disease known as Compulsive Gambling. Compulsive gambling is an inability to stop and control gambling even when it is causes serious financial, social and psychological problems.
Gambling addiction is similar to drug and alcohol addiction. Like substance abusers, compulsive gamblers have lost complete control over their behaviour and most lie and cheat in order to carry on gambling.
For all compulsive gamblers, the buzz of gambling is very addictive and the win, loss ups and downs, provide high levels of adrenalin and euphoria, which is very rewarding to the gambler. However, compulsive gamblers have little or no control of the money they are using to gamble and this is where the devastation comes in to play.
