@OP, what is the difference between gambling fever and gambling addiction? From your post, I don't see any difference or any unique difference of things that have been discussed here before as a causes of addiction and how to prevent it. Both are too similar, if not the same.
Even though gambling fever and gambling addiction is related there is a difference in the two and so should not be confused with the together

I confess I've never heard of gambling fever, so I did some more research on Google and, to my surprise, found nothing. It seems like you created this term, but I can't understand why you created this term and put definitions for it that are the same as gambling addiction, yet you insist they're different things. So, I'd like to know the following:

Where did you learn about "gambling fever" and who coined this term?

How many people who were involved in gambling were affected by this term?

Between gambling addiction and gambling fever, which one was more effective in curing people who were involved in gambling?

I'm of the opinion that the correct term would be gambling addiction, rather than creating other terms like ambling fever. We all know that addiction is a disease; anyone can become addicted to gambling. There's no shame in that. The most important thing is to prevent it, and if there's a problem, seek medical help in the real world urgently.
