A professional, a friend, or a family member can only help an addicted gambler get out of their addiction if the gambler says it themselves that they are addicted and they feel like they should stop gambling as it's eating up all their time and money and it is causing issues for their life.

Most of the addicted ones won't admit that they're addicted. And that's why even with the help of those closest people that are concerned to the condition.
The help that will be taken from them is a big thing but it's still gonna be dependent on the gambler if he allows them to help him or he'll follow all of those help.
But if none of them really helps, and we've got services like this to help quit gambling. What matters to these people is that there are people that are concerned to their own welfare.

I share your view. Some gamblers who are addicted to it will be so arrogant and will never admit to it, but it is written all over them with their deeds towards gambling. Gambling is what we should engage with care, if not, we will always regret it. It could first start in the way of the money needed or fun, but if care is not taken, it can grow to what we will not like and will be difficult to control. In either case, one has to understand gambling on that path from the beginning so that it would be guided againts. If it is for fun, one should moderate it, even though the addiction of this is not so much because one can only be engrossed with it since they could have taken it as a hobby, and if they need to change, they could change easily even without the external help of being lousy about it.

But for addiction caused by a money-making mindset, which is rampant and will always happen because people want to make money through it. Some people's positions are justifiable, while others are not, and this is in stages. Some will be so broke and need money for urgent important things, they would now turn to gamble irrespective of being a good decision or not. But some others might just want more money, and not that they are broke. They will continue to gamble and gamble, and when they see it as not forthcoming and promising but losing, they will be revenging and lose more. And to some of them, they needed this gambling to live an extravagant lifestyle, not that they really needed the money for pressing needs.

Regardless of the category, if any of them could have that mind to change, it would be so good for them. But the money would have been wasted and an irresponsible lifestyle towards it must have been detected for anyone to even interfere in such affairs.
