“Compulsive gambling is an illness, progressive in its nature, which can never be cured, but can be arrested…The Gamblers Anonymous concept is that compulsive gamblers are really very sick people who can recover if they follow to the best of their ability a simple program that has proved successful for thousands of other men and women with a gambling or compulsive gambling problem.”

• “Gamblers must admit that gambling has taken over their lives in a complete and overwhelming way.” Gamblers Anonymous doesn’t solicit members. It provides information to people struggling with a gambling addiction. The organization’s focus is to let people know that true help is available and that there is a way for compulsive gamblers.
• In California, problem gamblers can receive no-cost treatment through CalGETS. Between July 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017, 879 problem gamblers entered outpatient treatment. We analyzed their reports of total gambling losses during the 12 months before they entered treatment. On average, problem gamblers reported losing $19,094 in the past year.

Compulsive gamblers may present a variety of issues in trust & estate litigation. A trustee who is a compulsive gambler may find it hard to satisfy their fiduciary duties. Settlors of trusts might disinherit a child because of their compulsive gambling proclivities. Disinheritance may ignite estate fights. The Gamblers Anonymous website recites some characteristics of a compulsive gambler, among them:

• Inability and Unwillingness to accept reality;
• Emotional insecurity;
• Immaturity;
• The desire to be a “big shot” and feel all powerful;
• And sometimes the subconscious desire to punish themselves.

Compulsive gamblers’ denial of reality can produce some very strange results. Ponzi schemes; elder financial abuse; estate thefts; unlawful asset transfers; and disinheritance are some offshoots from compulsive gambling.
