Compulsive gambling (or gambling addiction) is a behavioral disorder where individuals feel an overwhelming urge to gamble - often resulting in financial loss, damaged relationships, and emotional distress. The person continues to gamble in pursuit of winning back losses or experiencing the thrill. This addiction can be as harmful as substance abuse, and it is nowadays enhanced by the availability of online platforms for gambling or betting. Globally one estimates that around 1-3% of the population is affected by gambling addiction, with varying prevalence depending on the region.
