Should it be mentioned that Civil Liability on the patrons' part may be an issue of Compulsive gambling? For example, in Katoomba vs RSL CLub limited in Australia, a gambler claimed that the place he went to breached its duty of care in that they provided easy access to money; albiet the fact he had already lost over $100, 000 on that day. He told the coart that he had stated numerous times to the club not to accept his cheques, however his demand was not complied with.

[edit] Treatment

The treatment section is fairly specific to pathological gambling and not problem gambling, which is generally treated through various counselling approaches. Should this be a seperate heading or should it be grouped together? Keithdon 04:20, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The External Links Section

The external links section on this article is out of control. Do we really need to list that many treatment clinics for problem gambling? And by listing all of the varying treatment centers, we've just turned that part of the article into a list of classified ads. We should pare these down and replace them with a handful of informational sites about problem gambling and not list any treatment clinics. Rray 16:38, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

yes, it has been a pretty bad external links section. removing specific treatment centers is a good start, but we might be better off just linking to the Dmoz category. 2005 22:19, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
