In my opinion, the main difference between problem gambling and gambling addiction is the severity and impact on life. Problem gambling is when gambling starts to cause issues, like financial stress or relationship problems, but you still have some control over your actions. Gambling addiction, on the other hand, is when you lose control and feel compelled to gamble despite serious negative consequences. It becomes a priority over everything else, leading to severe financial, emotional, and social problems. Recognizing these differences can help in understanding and addressing the issue better.
