It's the best help because they'll also be helped by their families.
Often family can't help with that problem: your relatives don't have needed qualification and psychological skills to influence on you. As result - it's more like nothing will change. People need help of specialists with high qualification.
if you are already healing or doesn't really make any changes or difference at all.Professional help will really be next in line and it doesn't matter on where you do seek help
the most important thing is on how to treat up your addiction but of course you would be needing to help yourself first.

It is true.
If you cannot voice out your problem and tell it to anyone, you're going to feel more anxiety and you're needing more help because of that. That's why getting help from your family is still another good choice.
But it's best to seek professional help after you get some help from your family.
Before reaching out into your family for your problem should be on next after you do find out that you cant really solve out the issue on your own because the one who could really solve If you cannot voice out your problem and tell it to anyone, you're going to feel more anxiety and you're needing more help because of that.

out that problem would really be starting for yourself. If you do find out that you arent able to do so then thats the time you would be seeking help from others and yes it is a shameful
thing and some do still raise up their ego or pride and wont be asking out any help from others and would tend to hide out from themselves.
Treating gambling addiction is something that cant be solved out easily.
There's a way to solve it on your own but not all of us have the same strength in conquering about it. As for solving it on your own, it's hard to do that because you're fighting on your own.
And we know that it's harder when you know that you've already accepted it that you can't.
There are many solutions out there, don't surrender on yourself, you can ask help to your relatives so they can help you with the routines, have time with your family.

While it is true that the number of those which were addicted to some kind of substance or behavior has being going up there is very clear evidence the pandemic has increased these numbers to worrying levels, we must understand that at the beginning we did not knew how difficult the pandemic will hit us and even if it could be worse it was bad enough that we suffered from lockdowns for months, so this affected people and they took the easy way out and are now suffering from an addiction that they would not likely suffer if the pandemic never happened.
After reading the article you gave me link to earlier in this thread, "Impulsivity, Frontal Lobes and Risk for Addiction", which is mostly about alcohol addiction, I started wondering, if we were to choose from what addiction to suffer, which one would we prefer? I mean, as far as I can tell, gambling addiction doesn't damage corticolimbic brain regions, so, can we say that this addiction is among the least dangerous ones?

Of course.Because a gambling addiction will also probably make big impacts not only for the gambler himself but also for their family or friends, and worse, for the community because of the crimes affected.
the right treatment, helps, some Repetition, and continuity of the treatment is also important to make aware and manage himself on gambling very wisely or even to stop gambling based on personal considerations.

Even if you're getting all the external or internal help.
As you said, the gambler isn't serious with how he's eradicating his addiction, then that won't be use. The cooperation of the gambler himself is needed.
So that he can beat addiction with or without those help.
You can still ask for some help because people are prone more into depression if they can't share their problem and I'm pretty sure your love ones will help you recover and forget about that addiction. You just have to accept the fact that you are addict, and think for more ways to recover from that trap.As you said, the gambler isn't serious with how he's eradicating his addiction, then that won't be use. The cooperation of the gambler himself is needed.
So that he can beat addiction with or without those help.
It's not too late though, the best solution is to stop gambling now and ask for you real friends help. Spend more time away from online gambling or any gambling that you are doing, start from the scratch again and never give up on making yourself better again.

Because it claims about the Company must be responsible for what will gamblers come out in the future specially when they become addicted.

The first step is not to immediately seek the help of others to be able to cure gambling addiction. The person must consciously and gracefully accept
the fact that he is indeed addicted to gambling, because it is very important to be honest with himself that he is addicted to gambling.
For those who are aware that they are addicted, what you said can work. But for those who don't realize that they are addicted already, it doesn't work at all. They are even not aware if they have a problem with addiction. How they can accept their addiction in this situation? Of course, they need helps from other people. Especially their close friends or family members. They must remind the addicts to have a special treatment to deal with it. And trying to correct the addict's habit gradually. This is something that cannot be done alone. Trust me, buddy! It is not as simple as you think. the fact that he is indeed addicted to gambling, because it is very important to be honest with himself that he is addicted to gambling.
I admit that many people are addicted to gambling but they don't realize it. If that's the case, someone else's help is needed to wake him up.
Because if the gambler is allowed to become addicted, it's not only his life that's in trouble, but his family was also affected. So the sooner
addiction is treated, the better. Because if they have been used to it for too long the person is addicted to gambling. Usually more difficult to cure,
because gamblers who have been addicted in the long term, consider gambling addiction a normal thing. I don't think gambling addiction is
a simple thing to deal with, because there are some people who need a very long time to completely heal. I'm just saying if the gambler is honest
with himself, that he admits to being addicted, the healing process is easier compared to a gambler who doesn't realize he is addicted.

Morally, they're helping you to get out of gambling addiction.
Having to know that they are there to help you get out from it and will also be supporting you to seek professional help, that's really a big help for someone who's struggling with gambling addiction.
But before you do go into this option then you should at least try to help yourself first because those external helps wouldnt really be effective if you are the one who arent really that serious on quitting gambling.Its on personal mind on how you would really quit it up because no matter how your loved ones will be giving out some counselling or advice or even into those professional help then it would be still useless if yourself wouldnt really be that willing to quit from it.So it does matter with self realization and accepting that you would really go for a change.Having to know that they are there to help you get out from it and will also be supporting you to seek professional help, that's really a big help for someone who's struggling with gambling addiction.
Addiction is something that can be just easily removed and it would takes a long time.

the fact that he is indeed addicted to gambling, because it is very important to be honest with himself that he is addicted to gambling. If this is not
done then as you said getting external or internal help will be in vain. After the person admits that he is addicted, there will usually be a strong desire
to beat the addiction he is experiencing. The next step will usually be easier to be able to cure gambling addiction from the person.

if you want to cure addicts without any support and seriousness to heal from yourself it will be in vain, so both must be done together with the possibility that healing will surely come true.

This is like the third time am seeing a thread talk about Gambling addiction, does this mean this pandemic has given people a reason to gamble more such that they have forgotten to limit themselves??
If gambling is really an issue talk to some one you trust preferably family or friends because you don't want someone that will look down on you for opening up.
All addictions went up during the pandemic, we must understand that people are social by nature so the lockdowns affected people, now if you were living with your family then this was not as much of an issue but for those living alone this was terrible, this means that we saw an increase in all kind of addictions including but not limited to drugs, alcohol, food, video games, social media and gambling, so this is why it is so important to discuss it as some people may be on the verge to fall into this and we could get to them before they fall even further into those harmful behaviors.If gambling is really an issue talk to some one you trust preferably family or friends because you don't want someone that will look down on you for opening up.
We can really say that online gambling did really have significant rise in users since people are spending mostly online of their time and even non gamblers had been hooked up
because of those more screen time.
Addiction is something that can be cured directly or in instant but doesnt mean its not possible.
