I have come across Local gamblers who are addicted to gambling and had ruined their selves by themselves til they ran bankrupt yet they borrows money to gamble at all means even While being indebted.
Theses sets of gamblers doesn't have remorse nor conscience about their gambling lifestyles instead their friends and relatives are the ones who bears the shameful consequences the addicted gambler brought to their circle of relationships.
At the virtue of getting the unbearable situations to an end, the relatives broadcasts the chronic addicted gambler at all costs of gambling boards never to give him privileges to gamble in any of the Gambling arenas anymore else they (the relatives) would sue the gambling boards owner.
This is just how recklessness could mess your life of you can't take control to gamble responsibly.
Take note and be aware that your way of gambling could affect your relationships and the circle of your relatives.
We all understand the situation you are trying to expose, but I say: It's a good thing that these players you met have strong families who, in some way, still try to help the person stay free from addiction, prohibiting access to the resources necessary to maintain their gaming and addiction.
However, do you agree with me that many people do not have this family support?
Gambling addiction often ends up being a side effect of an already troubled family relationship... either because the parents don't get along, or the marriage isn't working out. So these people look to gambling as a way to escape family problems and end up getting into more problems.
Unfortunately, in these situations there is often no one who can help the addicted player get back on the right path.
