One of the solutions which is recommended by most gamblers on this forum for gambling addiction is "Therapy" . Professional help in the form of therapy. It is good and very effective but how many persons can actually afford it? There is a fee for each session that lasts for a duration of 60minutes. And there are more than one session. Therapy for gambling addiction is expensive. How can those who are unemployed afford it?
There are free services that active gamblers can take advantage of, although it is not the same for paid people as for free ones. The question is how can unemployed people or people who don't have money get addicted to gambling? Don't addicted gamblers usually have the money to get involved in it because there is no way for people to be addicted to gambling but don't have the money to gamble.
The therapy in question can also be carried out by the family at home, although it is not the same as the pattern used by professional therapy, but at least simple things can be done alone at home with the family.
