Important points on gambling addiction

  • Top sportspeople gravitate towards (gambling) addiction more than the general population, partly because they have a lot of money and time at their disposal.
  • Betting and gambling can lead to gambling addiction.
  • Gambling addiction and any other form of addiction make you susceptible to corruption and to participation in match-fixing.
  • Seek help if you feel that you (or a friend) show addictive behaviour.
