My close friend's dad has a gambling addiction. He is gambling up to $3000 a month and they are really struggling financially.

My bf's mother is constantly at the club for hours on end, yet the family don't seem to mind the gambling, just the staying at the club late and leaving is unsafe!

Online lotteries are really tricky. My friend won the jackpot of a lottery for which the ticket was very expensive, but when he went to claim the price it turned out to be fake.

I just found out that someone close to me has a gambling problem. I am so angry but mostly disappointed.

Friends of mine spend bizarre amounts of time at bingo and the pokies. This has been going on for months, but only now has it occurred to me that they are problem gamblers.
