Are there different categories of “problem gambling”?
There are several stages that people can go through when they are developing a problem with gambling. What we know is that youth pass through the continuum of non-gambling to problem gambling much quicker than adults. However, research in the gambling field is quite new and the specific path to problem gambling has not been defined. This is something that the field is working towards. Please contact the Youth Outreach Worker in your area for updates.
