If a friend or family member is addicted to gambling, it's important to approach the situation with compassion and understanding. Avoid being judgmental or critical, and focus on expressing concern for their well-being. You can also encourage them to seek professional help from a therapist or support group. Also, you can offer practical support, such as helping them to track their spending or setting up financial controls.
The most important thing is to let them know that you are there for them and that you want to help them overcome their addiction.
