Gambling addiction is never a fate, but it’s simply an individual’s choice. You chose it and made it happen, and so you’re responsible of its consequences. Fact is, gambling addiction can always be avoided, just gamble responsibly and gamble the right and proper way.
Sometimes people don't really choose to become addicted to gambling, but gambling addiction is a result of the ignorance people have about gambling. They often feel they have no choice but to become addicted due to carelessness and ignorance; however, no matter what, gamblers are responsible for their addiction. Whether ignorance is a factor or not, no one has an excuse when it comes to gambling addiction; everyone is still responsible for their own addiction.
Normally, it is expected for a gambler to understand that gambling is a game of luck and cannot be predicted, but some players allow greed to control their choices and urges in gambling, which often leads to addiction.
