Some people always get this wrong, not everything is relating to a spiritual issue especially gambling, it's more relating to a mental issue than something spiritual for instance you shouldn't be referring an addicted gambler to the church or spiritual home for prayers, rather such cases should be handled by a mental health practitioner, psychologist or the rightful professionals to handle the situation, your spiritual leader or teacher is just a religious leader meant to handle spiritual cases and not the right one to handle such cases, I don't know about other societies but I've seen people in my region make such errors and it needs to be addressed.

Someone who is addicted to gambling is more likely to be treated by a psychologist because their mental health is already disturbed. If it is connected to spiritual or religious figures to handle it, it is clearly unrelated except to improve themselves to fill more positive activities by consulting a religious leader to become a religious person.
