Gamblers don't need to blame anybody but themselves because it's not a random thing that you find yourself at the gambling place except that you get there wanting to win more money than you currently have. We know that often will not be the case because most of the people going there are just donating their money for some entertainment if more people win the place will be closed sooner or later but the reality is the contrary and if the man can't handle the heat in the kitchen, he better get out. But most of them choose to stay and will not gonna leave until they no longer have anything in them which will gonna turn into a disaster later. If they cannot get out of it, it will turn into an addiction and eventually lead to more serious matters such as the OP's post.
It should be so but some blame others instead of themselves. They think that they are gambling because they asked them to. And when they lose playing gambling, they don't stop but keep playing gambling and in the end, they still lose. And slowly, without realizing it, they become addicted to gambling without anyone knowing it, even they don't know about it. It will be difficult for people like that to win gambling games because when they win, they don't stop but keep playing gambling until they finally lose.Even someone encourages you to play. It's still your decision to make, not getting that point of blaming someone for your mistake and trying
to hide that addictions inside you and divert the attention to other people.
The point here is the money you use when you still have it. All the control is in your hands even someone asks you to play gambling you can easily say no if you wanted to as it is your hard-earned money.
But most of those who love pointing things to other people are the one who can't accept that they are already addicted or possibly to get addicted.
