I am not really a gambler but I heard about people who can't quit it and keep losing lots of money. Do you think the attitude to gambling addiction should be the same as to drug addiction?
Should the government forbid gambling and treat somehow those who are addicted?
Or maybe it should be left up to an adult? I mean, should people decide on their own whether they need to gamble or not.
What do you think?

I think limiting amount of money one can gamble in a day/month might make gamblers to lose less, for this to happen something like global wallet(limit can be specified/applied here) can be made where a user will be able to gamble on multiple sites with just one account.(just my thought)

calling that disease is bad but yeah, its worst than disease LOL

It's based on any person personal experience with gambling if someone want to get rich by overnight than it's worst than disease for greedy people, but for me it's okay to have fun with sports betting because I always do with my own limits and never exceed more than my bankroll for the day.

Even gambling is so bad way to spend life with it but it's not a disease anymore from my opinion because if we have self control than easily can give up there, it's not much dangerous as compare with addiction of drugs and alcohol, so that I am quite sure if we do it for fun than it's not a disease.

i think it can be said as a disease,its like drug addiction or alcohol addiction, but it can be cure, forbidding gambling is not going to be effective, as we can see there is a lot way to surpass the rules, for example using vpn, so i think the right thing to do is to cure the gambler, this need support and cooperation from family and friends

No is not a disease you are crazy, I think that its just something in your life, most people are doing it for a period but after a while stop with it.
Gambling ruins a lot but its for sure not a disease otherwise it was forbidden in a lot more country's.

I Don't think so cause gambling won't even kill you or damage you physically but it can ruin your life . Drug Addiction is a completely another level than gambling addiction which has a higher chance of getting cured.

I accepted that mostly people when they play gambling than they become addictive person, and it is like a disease and in this way they forget that what is gambling and behind the scene it is fun and enjoyable thing but they never taste about it, and only they want to play and they don't care they win or lose, only play again and again. It is a kind of addictive person, but i am lucky and also i am not a good gambler but i like gambling and play it only for fun.

well gambling addiction does exist and many are affected by it and are losing all their life savings on it. but i don't think it is anything like drug addiction because drugs will also bring some kind of physical need for it.

also there are some governments that have already banned gambling but that never works. i think it is up to the people themselves to learn how to not get addicted to gambling, and it is not rocket science either.

For me gambling is considered disease because you cant control yourself anymore and you need help to be able to overcome that addiction. also it can ruin your life and your relationship to your family if you dont pay attention.

I dont think that gambling addiction is a disease, as it is curable and one more point is at some point if he lost everything then what will he do nothing. But drug addiction is a disease, as it enters in your body and controls your mind, for that you have to go for rehabilitation centers to get cured. Gambling addiction can be cured if the addicted wanted to leave and his friends and family supports it.

I'm thinking the same about this its not a sickness or something, I even think its just a state of mind on how you are thinking.
The most are stopping after they are knowing what they are doing.

You can call it a disease though because it won't leave your body unless you do something to remove it or to cure it. Gambling is very addictive because it involves money which is the thing we need to survive in this world and it becomes really addictive when you start to win and win everyday but not really everyday, because Christmas is not everyday. But I think the most part of it that makes people not to quit gambling is that they want to take back their money that they lose on it. They continuously do it until they get back what they've lose and it's like a do until loop. Do gambling until you win or get back what you've lose to it.

Gambling and drug addiction is somewhat the same since you are addicted to it but the difference in drug addiction would definitely destroy your brain and your body together with your life in gambling it could possibly happen also but not as severe on drug addiction. Gambling addiction is trully a disease because once you get hooked into gambling its hard to stay away from it.

No no man banning the gambling is a really bad idea.I really enjoy gambling and i am not the one who is addicted to the gambling.And there are many other who are not addicted.So only because of those who are getting addicted to gambling,then banning the gambling for every one is a really bad idea.
Users must are the one who are responsible for it and they should be careful in this.

In my opinion ambling addiction is disease, but it is insanity because addiction of gambling doesn't attacking body gamblers but attacking their mindset, their money and their time.

Yes gambling addiction is considered a disease and needs help if it's truly impacting your overall life, There are many organizations or help groups for those affected by it "gambling-anonymous".

It's a disease ,but this occurs like addiction in a drug but gambling is also in the state of mind which if it is hyper addiction you will no longer know it's wrong ,cause the only thing that sinks in your mind is how or where you will get a money for you to gamble again even selling of all things that you have .this disease really needs to be brought in a mental physician expert .

Indeed gambling addiction is a serious disease because it have so many side effects which can destroy our life, from my point of view it is very dangerous like to have addiction of drug because both have very difficult way to give up.
