Ok but even then if a gambler is very good at hiding it, it's difficult for a family to find out about it. Drugs and alcohol is so much easier because when you are wasted, you are wasted. No questions need be asked whether you have a problem when you are wasted five times a week.

But gambling is a different issue. Unless someone crosses the line and starts stealing money or borrowing money in excess of what has ever been usual in the past, it is still complicated to find out about it unless the person himself approaches their family and tells the truth. To get back on topic here, financial dependence can also mean several thing. Even if someone earns tons of money but has a costly lifestyle based on long-term obligations, financial dependence is still a thing. If there are existential dependencies and money is at risk that would have to be used otherwise, the problem can quickly overwhelm even someone who seems to be financially independent to outsiders.

Not necessarily because the relationship between the members is close, they will know if there is something different with the other family members and will ask them directly. And it doesn't take long for those family members to know there's a problem or that all is well.

If someone has a lot of money but has an expensive lifestyle, it will depend on how much money they have but the money will surely run out if it is not managed properly. Especially if they use their money to gamble and don't limit it properly.

And back to the topic. It seems that it is necessary to discuss this gambling problem with his nephew so that he understands that having a gambling habit is not good and will even have a bad effect on that person. Hopefully, his nephew can understand the conversation and won't come close to gambling again, even though he's an adult. But it also depends on how he wants to avoid gambling.

Sometimes leaving things like these in the hands of the family is not good, there are always some who can find out or imagine it but they don't say anything so as not to get into trouble, sometimes some people are delicate with their lives, and it's normal and one like A person cannot be interfering in the lives of others, it is not good because that brings problems and a series of things that are not good, so this type of thing when it comes to games is delicate, casinos and games Like sports betting, some people have it as a taboo or as something that those who believe that they do it are addicted or that they no longer have a way out that they do it because they have to and they have it as a vice, so this type of thing sometimes has to be done. eu avoid it even in the same families that is where they can do things the most to get themselves into trouble, there are some people or players who have the casino as something additional in their lives to have fun and not as something bad that will harm their lives, because The more control they have over the things they do, they move away from being an addict.

When talking about habit, things can be very counterproductive, because a person who doesn't like the game and another talks about the game, it will cause that person to cause some contempt, rejection, or something like that, I say this because There are many people who are of that style and it is not the idea, the habit of playing and if they already have it as a habit, it is not always bad and one knows how to play, knowing how to play, I mean how to bet, how to control oneself and knowing that any movement can lead to a total problem because without money it is something that cannot be carried out with anything, then creating the habit is only less, because we are people who by repetition at least 21 times we already seized it as a habit and as a learning that is not forgotten, that is what we as humans, as people do so that it can stay in our minds and apply it all the time.
