Gambling becomes a problem when it negatively impacts any area of your life. It doesn’t matter how much you’ve lost or won — nor how much you know about a sport or team.
Someone with a gambling problem, also known as a gambling disorder or gambling addiction, becomes more preoccupied with gambling over time. Like any addiction, gambling disorder causes disruptions to your well-being, job, and relationships.
