There are a few basic categories for gamblers all over the world. The first is professional gamblers, for whom gambling is their major source of income. Then comes casual social gamblers, who engage in gambling activities for the purpose of entertainment. Serious social gamblers are somewhere in between and are involved in gambling with greater sincerity than their casual counterparts. Gambling activities are sometimes used for escaping from the stress in their life, and this can lead them to compulsive gambling, wherein a person engages in gambling activities almost against their will and sacrifices their family and career for it.
