GAMBLING ADDICTION INFORMATION
Problem gambling is an urge to gamble despite harmful negative consequences or a desire to stop. The term is
preferred to compulsive gambling among many professionals, as few people described by the term experience true
compulsions in the clinical sense of the word. Problem gambling often is defined by whether harm is experienced by
the gambler or others, rather than by the gambler's behavior. Severe problem gambling may be diagnosed as clinical
pathological gambling if the gambler meets certain criteria.
