poker addiction
Compulsive gambling disorder
Poker addiction is a compulsive need to play poker despite harmful consequences—financial ruin, damaged relationships, or neglected responsibilities.
Unlike casual players who can walk away, someone with a poker addiction chases losses, plays with money they can't afford to lose, and experiences withdrawal-like agitation when unable to play.
His poker addiction cost him his marriage and his savings.
