Gambling Related Harms
Gambling related harms is the urge to gamble on a regular basis despite the consequences that it can have. Although some people have the desire to stop they struggle to do so even if it causes harm to the themselves or the people around them.
Gambling related harms can affect anyone. Gambling related harms can happen to anybody regardless of age, gender, social class or ethnic background.
Nobody knows exactly what causes gambling related harms, although there is a correlation that has been found between family gambling behaviour and the experience of a big win however it is important to note that it is not possible to determine the root cause for these actions. This is further complicated due to the fact that gambling harms is rarely found in isolation meaning that those experiencing gambling harms often also present other harms either relating to alcohol or drugs.
