Could I become addicted to gambling online?

Most medical experts agree that gambling addicts, like most other types of addicts, are indeed susceptible to developing addictive behaviors. Addictive, or compulsive gambling, as it is also commonly referred to, is widely recognized by medical experts as an illness, like alcohol and drug addictions. Gambling addicts suffer from this uncontrollable need to wager money to the point of serious financial and/or social distress.


Even the slightest hint that you - or someone you know - may have a gambling problem should signal the immediate need to seek help before it adversely affects one's life and possibly the lives of others. In addition to Gamblers Anonymous (www.gamblersanonymous.org), there are countless clinics and informative websites to help people combat their addictions. Excellent help is close at hand.
