Problem gambling, or ludomania, is characterised by the urge to continuously gamble despite harmful negative consequences or a desire to stop. It is usually defined by whether harm is experienced by the gambler or others, rather than by the gambler’s behaviour. Severe problem gambling may be diagnosed as clinical pathological gambling if the gambler meets certain criteria.
