Hing (2006) defined problem gambling as “the situation when a person’s gambling activity gives rise to harm to the individual player, and/or to his or her family, and may extend into the community.” When a person with problem gambling wins, he/she will experience great enjoyment.

That is, the mental, physical and social health… was not different from that of individuals who were not addicted to video games...”.
