THE PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT OF GAMBLING
Gambling is a topic that can attract strong opinions. For some, it is a fun and harmless pastime, while for others, gambling is a dangerous addiction that ruins lives.
For some individuals, gambling is a great source of entertainment. Of course, some forms of gambling are riskier than others. Take for example playing the lottery, which is widely regarded as a low-risk activity. Meanwhile, betting on sports or playing casino games is considered much riskier.
On the flipside, gambling can be addictive, resulting in financial problems that could impact relationships. Some gamblers even develop mental health problems as a result of their
addiction. It is crucial to indulge in this activity in moderation, realising the risks involved and recognising when gambling gets out of hand and seeking the appropriate help.
The good news is that the gambling industry has made huge strides in terms of implementing responsible gambling policies. In the UK, many gambling companies make voluntarily contributions which are funnelled through the charity GambleAware.
