Common Facts About Gambling Addiction: Approximately 2-3% of Americans meet the criteria for a gambling disorder, which equates to around 6 million people. Around 96% of gamblers lose money in the long run, reinforcing the industry's design to ensure the house always wins. Studies show that people with a gambling addiction impact 7-10 others around them on average, showing that a gambling addiction can impact more people than simply the gambler themself. Over 50% of people with gambling addiction also struggle with substance abuse or another mental health disorder, such as depression or anxiety. Gambling Addiction costs the U.S. economy an estimated $7 billion annually, including losses from job productivity, criminal justice expenses, and healthcare costs.
