they have to want to quit. If they are addicted, it can be very difficult. If you try to force them, it will fail after a while. You should discuss how their gambling problem negatively effects you and other people. Obviously, they know that they are losing money but maybe they don't care. You should point out the other negative consequences of their behavior and ask them to change.

That depends upon your 'relationship type' with him/her. Are you his/her friend? His/her spouse?
I'm married to a man who has a 'bad gambling problem' but I don't even LIKE to gamble. My husband 'loves me' more than anything, and since he knows I don't like to gamble, we do things that I do like to do ... go to see movies, go shopping together, and 'play computer games' online together. It is UP TO THE GAMBLER to know that it's a 'habit' that needs to be 'kicked' ... and really all you can 'do' is simply help by 'being there' and by 'distracting' the person from 'gambling' by having lots of OTHER FUN STUFF to do. TIME is the only thing that can 'take care' of it, and after awhile, the gambler won't 'think' gambling is 'good fun' any more ... because s/he will be too busy having 'real fun.'
