 What Is Gambling Addiction?

Gambling addiction—also known as gambling disorder or compulsive gambling—is a behavioral addiction that activates the same reward centers in the brain as drugs or alcohol. It’s not just “bad choices.” It’s a real condition that deserves real care.

“It started as something fun—then I couldn’t stop. The guilt nearly destroyed me.”
