I'm confused and looking for answers

If you are lonely, can you have interest in gambling simply because of your loneliness?

How would you judge someone who says they don't gamble because it's fun, is that a sign of a gambling addiction?

If you are making $600 a day, that's $20000 in a month, and because you are only you start having interest to gamble, what do you think this is?

All these questions is been asked because someone close said all these and I think he are losing money and losing himself too, of all the discussions we had, these are the points I held unto.

Later he open up to have been using $500 for gambling per day, he said all these started when his wife left him, that he isn't into gambling at all, but I can't ask why his wife left him in the first place, but does loneliness make people become addicted to gambling or it's something else.

I think that the reasons why a person loses himself (as I understand from your description, this person loses himself) can be different. It can also be loneliness, when a person cannot find joy in anything, if in addition to this his wife left him, then this is even worse and only aggravates the situation. If he has money, perhaps he should seek help from a specialist and try to solve this issue or go to church, where God also solves similar problems.
But the most important thing is that until a person recognizes the problem as a problem, it is difficult for him to help or get out of there on his own because the problem does not exist in his opinion. How does a person understand that he made the wrong move then there will be a result

Yes they will usually depend on the person's own wishes to solve the problem. If a gamble can control himself if he understands his problem he will never be harmed. Also set your own personal work and goals to give your time to give you your time excluding gambling control to control gambling. It can help in searching literacy and knowledge which can help improve your mental health and other aspects of life. Time will give time to give strength to other social work and improve your healthy relationships.
