he is cheating

In our society, there are many different types of gambling. These include:

casino games
scratch cards
lotteries
slots
online gambling, such as poker
sports betting
Gambling can have a strong negative impact on your daily life, for example regarding work: if you choose gambling over your job. Or in relationships: you borrow money from family or friends and cannot pay back your debts. The consequences often have a great impact on your life and you might soon end up in a vicious circle.

How do we define gambling addiction?
It is sometimes difficult to tell whether a problem really exists. The severity of a gambling addiction depends on how often and how much gambling takes place and what the consequences are. The thrill of either winning or losing money and the fact that a person often thinks they can improve their skills can quickly make a person want to gamble again and again.

Compulsive gambling is characterised by loss of control over your gambling behaviour. Additionally, gambling controls your life to a large extent because you spend a lot of time and money on the matter.
