At least there will always be good things after suffering and I think that treatment only happened because he had a big loss. That is, if he does not suffer a major defeat then it is unlikely that treatment will be possible, because the treatment he is doing is only for a recovery, perhaps because he is not ready for the defeat. Well, this incident can at least give a lesson to many people as well and not only for himself, having a lot of money doesn't mean we can spend it quickly because in gambling we have to be aware of the time to stop even though we still have money in our pockets.
Severe addiction to anything needs to be considered as mental disease. However the majority of the gamblers doesn't believe that gambling addiction needs treatment and by the time they take help, it is too late. Early diagnosis and treatment can save the gambler from complete financial ruin. A lot of people say that it is the duty of the casinos (both online and offline varieties) to help such people. But I disagree. There is nothing that the casinos can do about it, if the individual himself refuses help.
