Podcasts about gambling addiction

27-year-old Auckland engineer Shyamal Shah has been sentenced to two years, two months imprisonment for what is believed to be one of the largest public sector thefts on record – a 17-month scheme in which he managed to swindle roughly $1 million from his employer, Watercare. The court was told yesterday that the theft and deception came about through Shah's gambling addiction that started at Sky City Casino, then escalated after three men approached him and invited him to a residence where private games were being held. It was a racket where addicts were targeted and given a significant line of credit before payment is demanded, often through coercion. I mean, if we've ever seen any Good Fellas type movies, you've seen it before. In Shah's case, the court was told the defendant was shown photos of another man who had been violently assaulted after they didn't pay. So he was hooked, he was reeled in, and he turned a promising career in a promising life into a complete and utter train wreck. He will go to jail, his parents, who had taken a gamble and backed that their son was going to be an exemplary citizen, are financially ruining themselves to try and pay back as much of the money as they possibly can. This is what a gambling addict looks like, and it comes at the same time as the nation's independent gambling regulator, the Gambling Commission, has issued a damning report into the Ministry of Health's problem gambling section, saying it is impossible to judge whether the services actually reduce gambling harm. The report recommended Mental Health Minister Matt Doocey and Internal Affairs Minister Brook van Velden reject the Ministry of Health request to increase a levy from $76 million to $92 million over the next three years. The levy comes from the gambling industry, which makes sense. A lot of people can gamble and just have, you know, $5 on the nose of a horse, a pretty chestnut at Race 9 at Te Rapa, but others can't, so the industry helps fund problem gamblers, helps fund assistance and help for problem gamblers. But the Commission's expert reviewer Doctor David Rees said when it came to the money that has been given to the Ministry of Health to help problem gamblers, we don't know if it's enough. We don't know if it's too much. And that's a point made by a number of people. There's a lack of data, a lack of understanding, we don't know what's working, and we don't know what's not working. Sounds like my hero, the Auditor General John Ryan. He said, I don't know this money's been well spent, there's no track of it, no record of. So same again, the Ministry of Health gets millions of dollars from the gambling industry to help problem gamblers, does it work? Dunno! Ddn't really know. Matt Doocey said it's not good enough, symptomatic of what happened under the last Government. Doocey said in mental health and addiction services, increased funding had led to no material difference. And it's true, that's exactly what happened under the last Government. We're seeing lots of ads for the TAB right now: “You know the odds, now beat them”. In the pregame build up before the All Blacks there's always a punters report: what the totes paying for which player to score the first try. You can bet on anything and it's being very, very normalised. As with every addict across every addiction, you start off thinking it's a bit of harmless fun, think you can handle it until you can't, until you've found yourself like Shyamal Shah, in the dock with your promising life and career absolutely ruined. All addicts need help to get the monkeys off their back, but just throwing money to the Ministry of Health and thinking there we go job done, is not good enough. They have to show that the millions of dollars they have been granted have done some good. And this hasn't come out of the blue. In 2019, they were asked to account for the money. They didn't. In 2022, they were told to carry out a major strategic review of its problem gambling strategy and they didn't. And then they had the temerity to come back and ask for more money. Can we have another $11 million? No. If you want $92 million, then you have to show what you're spending it on, not just for the sake of the money and for the sake of proper accounting, but for the sake of the addicts. It's so hard for addicts to know they have a problem before it's too late. I'm talking about any addiction. And when you reach out for help, you need that help to be there.

Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of suicide, grief, addiction, mental health challenges, and other sensitive topics. Listener discretion is advised.He didn't think he'd make it to 26. By then, Patrick Casale had already lost his stepmother to cancer, his best friend to suicide and himself to gambling addiction, shame, and emotional paralysis. But rock bottom didn't end his story, it unraveled the one he'd been trying to survive: the story where masking pain and pretending to be “fine” was the only way to belong.In this unflinching episode, Patrick shares the moments that nearly ended him and the ones that slowly rebuilt him. From devastating loss to the weight of silence, we explore how grief, addiction, and years of emotional shutdown intersected with a late-in-life AuDHD (Autism + ADHD) diagnosis that finally explained what nothing else could.For the first time, he began to see his struggles not as personal failures, but misunderstood wiring in a world that never made room for difference. This isn't just a recovery story it's a blueprint for self-acceptance, for healing without shame, and for creating a life that doesn't require an escape plan.In This Episode We Cover:Grief, trauma & emotional collapse after losing his stepmom and best friendGambling addiction and the illusion of controlLiving undiagnosed: the cost of masking with late-in-life AuDHDReframing “brokenness” as misunderstood neurodivergenceHow therapy, community, and radical honesty saved his life__________________Watch/Listen/Subscribe to the Show: ↳ ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠↳ ⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcast⁠⁠⁠↳ ⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠↳ ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠↳ ⁠⁠⁠Tiktok⁠⁠⁠↳ ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠__________________Patrick Custer - Host↳ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@thepatrickcuster⁠⁠⁠↳ TikTok:⁠⁠⁠ @thepatrickcuster⁠⁠⁠↳ YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠@thepatrickcuster⁠⁠⁠↳ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠@thepatrickcuster⁠⁠⁠↳ Website: ⁠⁠⁠linktr.ee/patrickcuster⁠⁠⁠Patrick Casale - Guest↳ Insta: @patrick.casale↳ Facebook: @CasaleCoaching↳ Tiktok:⁠ @patrickcasale↳ Website: www.allthingspractice.com__________________Promises Behavioral Health – Treatment for addiction, mental health/trauma:↳ Admissions: (888) 648-4098↳ Insta: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@promises_bh⁠⁠⁠↳ URL: ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.promisesbehavioralhealth.com⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Mental Health America:↳ URL: ⁠⁠⁠www.mhanational.org⁠__________________About Patrick Casale: Patrick Casale is not only an AuDHD licensed Mental Health & Addiction Therapist and a group practice owner but also a Entrepreneur Coach & Strategist for Neurodivergent Business Owners. With experience in both the clinical mental health world and the business world, he has helped thousands of mental health therapists around the United States leave their agencies behind and create their ideal private practices. "I've worked in the helping profession since 2008, and, like many therapists, I started my career in a community mental health job where instead of feeling fulfilled, I felt overworked, burnt out, taken for granted, and underappreciated. I knew I wanted out but feared the uncertainty of private practice, because, at the time, I had no fucking clue how to start a business. After all, most people who go into the helping profession don't have a lot of business training, if any at all. After a lot of work, some struggles, and trial-and-error, I successfully launched my private practice. Then a couple of years after that, I launched a thriving group practice. I am truly passionate about empowering therapists to take the steps they need to create more successful lives and careers while working flexible hours, taking more vacations, and using their precious clinical skills effectively. When it comes to being a successful private practice and small business owner, I've already been there and done that, so now I help other therapists all over the United States save time, skip the guesswork, and start seeing clients sooner with their own private practices."

In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Addicted to Recovery, hosts Christopher White and Max Thomas sit down with guest Alex, a fellow recovering addict, to explore his lived experience of gambling addiction.The conversation starts with a nostalgic reflection as Alex and Max realise they once attended the same school — both unaware at the time that beneath the surface, they were already battling the early signs of addiction. Alex shares his story openly, tracing the roots of his compulsive gambling back to childhood, shaped by family separation, emotional instability, and early exposure to betting through his father's habits.Alex's journey is marked by emotional vulnerability, financial ruin, and the manipulation that so often accompanies addiction. He speaks candidly about his pattern of deception, the toxic cycle of winning and chasing losses, and the crushing shame that kept him isolated for years. His story highlights the often invisible nature of gambling addiction — one that doesn't always carry the visible signs of other dependencies but is just as destructive.Throughout the conversation, Max and Chris reflect on the shared emotional struggles underlying addiction — the inner void, the hunger for validation, and the disconnect between how they appeared to the world and how they felt inside. Alex recounts the moments where addiction had him trapped, including the extraordinary highs and lows of gambling away over £120,000 in a single weekend, and the devastating impact this had on his relationships, self-worth and mental health.Despite the setbacks, Alex also shares how he has begun rebuilding his life. He talks about finding strength through community, his experiences in rehabilitation, and the importance of peer support. Now four months clean — the longest since his addiction began — Alex has also founded Walking and Talking, a safe and non-judgemental group for those struggling with gambling, offering connection and support through simple conversation and companionship.The episode closes on an uplifting note, with Max and Chris emphasising the importance of fellowship, recovery programmes, self-reflection, and honest conversation. Together, they highlight that addiction is about far more than substances or behaviours — it's about the internal battles and emotional wounds we try to numb — and that lasting recovery is possible through connection, action, and community.

March Madness season may be a good time for problem gambling awareness month. According to the American Gaming Association, more than $3 billion will be bet legally on this year's NCAA basketball tournament games.

Carton was a high-roller addict, eventually costing him his freedom, his marriage, and his dream job as one of the most popular, highest-paid sports-talk hosts in the country. He's back on the air, co-hosting “Breakfast Ball” on Fox Sports 1, and hosts a podcast and radio show.

Gambling addiction is often seen as an individual problem, but its effects ripple far beyond the person placing the bets.  For families, it can lead to financial instability, emotional distress, and fractured relationships.  In this episode, Katie shares her personal journey of discovering her husband's gambling problem and how she and her children moved forward. Speaking as a parent and a teacher with twenty years of experience, Katie argues that more recognition is needed about how gambling problems impact families, especially young people. Noting a lack of resources and supports for children experiencing gambling harms, she developed a workbook.  It's a tool for parents, family members, teachers and counsellors to help children understand and cope when compulsive gambling disrupts their lives.  Katie's workbook is available on Amazon and is called All Bets Are Off: Hope and Healing When a Loved One's Gambling Addiction is Destroying Everything. Listen to this impactful interview with Katie and hear: What spouses and family members can do when a loved one isn't ready to stop gambling How to support children when a parent's gambling is negatively impacting the family What help is available for spouses, family members and chldren experiencing gambling harms To read a summary of this episode go to the blog at www.gamblingproblemhelp.ca.  You can also hear more from Katie on a podcast that she and a friend from Gam-Anon produce and host - Making Bets in a Burning House.  It provides insight and support for families, friends and spouses impacted by gambling addiction.  If you live in British Columbia and would like help for gambling concerns, reach out to our free, confidential counselling and outreach services.  Connect with us online at Gambling Support BC or call 1-888-795-6111.

What happens when the secretive nature of gambling begins to unravel the fabric of a family? Matt's story paints a vivid picture of the initial shock, grief, and overwhelming fear when confronting a problem they never imagined facing. As he and his wife grapple with the layers of financial and emotional complexity, their experiences shed light on the hidden battles many families endure, offering hope and insight for those in similar situations.Understanding addiction is a daunting task, especially when compounded by societal stigma and the manipulative nature of gambling advertising. Matt discusses the transformative power of support groups, emphasizing the sanctuary they provide for families to share and learn. These gatherings are likened to a lifeline, where families can engage in open communication and break free from isolation. The parallels drawn between gambling and substance addiction reveal a shared struggle, highlighting the importance of recognizing the traps set by gambling's enticing facade.As we journey through the process of recovery, the significance of family unity and finding support emerges as a beacon of hope. Matt recounts the healing power of a family vacation to Yellowstone, where nature's embrace fostered reconnection and strength. Despite the challenges of navigating the Gamblers Anonymous community, the perseverance through setbacks and the commitment to progress over perfection provide a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. By embracing support networks, families can not only find solace but also the opportunity to inspire and uplift others on their recovery path.Support the showRecovery is Beautiful.
