that’s normal for gambling-”if addicted” though- other things in his life will begin to fall apart-academics-relationship-major debt.-or @ times a lot of cash-and complete stress-start to smoke , drugs, etc.-been down that road @ a young age-not all-he needs is something else he’s interested in or passionate about-that takes up his time!!! i still love the high life-but i choose it for recreation only-and even that is a little to much-sometimes it’s about the risk-tell him to invest $ in other things-i turned to the real estate market and made a small fortune-tied up the $ so it’s harder for me to pull it out-good luck!

First, you shouldn’t try to control anyone. It is up to him. When he wants help, he should contact Gambler’s Anonymous.

A friend of mine lost her ability to manage her own finances. All her money is held in a trust, from which bills & other expenses are paid from. I think it was her family that filed the case. She lost due to her gambling is/was harming herself & family’s finances to a dangerous point.

I’m not a lawyer, but I hope you can help your bro =0p…

The only way is to get him to go to Gambler’s Anon.

Sometimes that is nearly impossible as people need to hit rock bottom before they go. You need to do it gently, because problem gamblers have built in defenses and excuses to defend what they do.
