Gambling is not drug it can be addiction.Most of the things were are doing are addictions like using mobiles,chatting,taking selfies even eating foods have addiction so it depends on you use it the consequences will be.
If people are made aware about the results and how it can help or become the worst things if people do not play it safe or go overboard it can be a bad situation in their life as they would not be able to control themself and keep on losing money .
