I agree with you and all forms of addiction, be it gambling or anything else, can never have a positive impact so there will only be bad or negative impacts that can be caused by each individual.
Winning at gambling is the beginning of ruin, especially for those who are not yet a gambling addict, so they can gradually wait until it is time for them to become addicted.
Of the many gambling addicts, I have never seen the positive side, even in terms of finance and psychology, they are different from normal people because financially they will definitely experience bankruptcy and regarding the psychology of an addict usually causes emotional feelings and difficult to give the right advice or instructions.
So great is the impact of gambling addiction, but there are still many people who are not aware of and don't care about things like that because they already have thoughts that are not normal anymore.
After all, how much money the gambling addict earns from winning will eventually run out with nothing left as the money returns to an impossible-to-beat house edge.

It will be more difficult to cure a gambling addict than to cure a drug addict because for drug addicts it is clear that there is rehabilitation and a separate method that has proven to be effective in healing them.

I think if someone is not an addicted gambler, winning a big amount will not necessarily lead to addiction. Yes, theoretically, it can happen to anyone, but in practice the vast majority of gamblers, 90%-95% of them, are not addicted to gambling. Those 5-10% is still a lot of people and that's a tragedy, and we must find a way to convince them to gamlbe responsibly, but it's not true that every gambler becomes addicted eventually.

Of course, not everyone, even a very gambler, becomes addicted to these games.
I think that this can only happen to people who have a certain psychotype of personality. First of all, such people should have a strong emotional perception of failure, which literally leads a person to restore, as he sees it, the lost justice. In gambling, this is naturally a series of losses. This feeling constantly pushes such a person to commit emotional and ill-considered, and often just stupid things.
And the second aspect for a human gambler to become addicted to gambling is the fact that he himself is a weak-willed person and is not able to really overcome his emotions. Indeed, probably among all gamblers there can be about 5% of such people.
And it is from them that really mentally ill people can appear over time, those who really need to be treated for such addiction.
