This information is for anyone who is worried about their gambling, or knows someone whose gambling has become a problem.

Gambling disorder is a repeated pattern of gambling behaviour where someone:

• feels they have lost control
• continues to gamble despite negative consequences and
• sees gambling as more important to them than any other interest or activity.

Gambling disorder is also sometimes called compulsive gambling, problem gambling or gambling addiction.

Gambling disorder can have a big impact on your personal and family life, your work and education, and the things you enjoy.
