not all . there are still gamblers that can control them selves like for example me i am a gambler and i am not addicted with gambling . i play gambling rarely because i have more important things to do in my life that should be prioritize more than anything else .
i only play gambling when i have a free time to kill boredom but im also hopping that i could with some . the consequences of gambling for me is loosing but i dont regret because im not depositing large amount of sums .
But this is the main problem with addiction,,, that you cannot really understand it unless you have it. And yes, gambling addiction may not be the same as alcohol addiction or substance, but the underlying problem is the same,,, addiction.
No matter how important the other tasks in life are, or the situation of the person, it does not matter because their brains are built in a different way than us. So this is something we really need to understand first.
