^ I don't think blaming bloodline in your gambling addiction is the right one that is not the right one.
It is a choice not inherit in your bloodline, you are the one who is responsible for yourself not your family's DNA.
Gambling addiction starts in that stage to become a habit, which is frequently gambled and then turns into an addiction. We should be responsible gamblers, if you think that is too much, then put a limit on it.

I am inclined to believe that one person is not only their genetic material (genotype) but also the physical manisfestation of it (phenotype).
So we all are the result of a combination of environmental factors and generic factors.

So I would not blame someone's gambling enthusiasm to their genotype only, there are genes that won't manifest unless the conditions are set for it to happen.

For example, perhaps I am genetically pre-destined to have a quite higher chance to suffer from alcoholism but if I happen to live in an islamic country my genes themselves are not enough to push me towards the problem.

I'm not sure about the DNA thingy though, maybe it has, but I think it's probably on what they see on their parents that is pass from generations to generations, not DNA per se. If you see you parents at a young age, have gambling sessions in your house (this is prevalent is Asian Culture, playing mah-jong). Definitely you can inherited this as you grow old. So it is still the environment that is the influencing factor and I think majority of gamblers some kind of interaction or exposed to gambling when they are very young. But we have a choice, whether to fall victim or not.

That is what I thought too until I found large numbers of articles and researches regarding this matter.

Let's say a person inherited that gene. Would he still become a gambling addict if he's never been exposed to a gambling environment?

I know there's a study and everything but I still find it stupid to link a gambling addiction to a person's genes hehe. It's like finding an excuse why you are obese because "genes" but you keep eating a lot of carbs and sugar while spending most of your time on the couch.

- Its not DNA but its rather a personal kind of choice because ive known people who are showing or going opposite even if their surrounding do engage with gambling activities.

- Nothing is different because everything would really be basing on your choice.
- Nothing is different whether you had get on being influenced or on your personal choice then it wouldnt matter. There's no difference to that.

Gambling is anywhere so it's up to the person if they will enter the world of gambling. It's a choice not came from everywhere cause if you have a mindset that gambling is good and bring you a lot of money then that kind of mindset is not good cause gambling is base on your luck you can not win every bet but you were lost big than winning. The main problem of the gambling addict is the gambler itself if they let gambling will take over them and fall into a trap.

No, even if it his own doings, I still won't blame him. No one likes to be an addict. The person is just a victim of too much dopamine secreted on his brain. Now do we blame the victim?

Is there a special means to treat this kind of gambling addict? I can't find any special treatment of this kind on the internet probably they use the same method for gambling disorder withdrawal.

I don't think so, I believe it is still a matter of decision. If a person is strong will in avoiding gambling activities then I don't see they will be worse than any other gambler.

No, if the reasoning will be about DNA.

Yes, if it's his own action and he never listens to one's advise on how to avoid or make it controlled by him.

-Can their gambling problem be put in check by regular methods?

Yes, it can be checked at all times to see if the person who inherited it really has that inheritance through his veins. But for me, whether you have an inherited DNA from a gambler, it's still you that will be taking action and your personal decision.

It depends to the individual and his gambling habit and level of addiction.

...gambling responsibly. Do not be addicted.

Gambling can be genetic and passed on to offspring, but I have noticed that females are not addicted as male when it comes to gambling and that gives me doubt about it, or maybe that is how it is in my region, men are most into gambling. Or maybe the gene is more concentrated in men than women.

No one can blame addicts, but any bad deeds done by them can be punished. The more fact we need is that addiction is not good, it can lead to a kind of life someone do not wish for himself, the reason we should use just the amount of money we can afford to lose and nothing more than that.

I know we are greatly influenced by the environment we are born into and sometimes become gamblers because of where we find ourselves, i also considered the possibility of gambling being hereditary and found out that it is also possible, that is gambling can be hereditary ,

Quote

Gambling is linked to a gene that is passed on through generations and a new study claims that it is passed on to both sons and daughters alike.

now come to think of it since it is difficult to escape our genetic makeup,
