....which is a weird claim to make since gambling addiction is 50~70% genetic. The genetic factors have been known for a long time. Here's a study from a decade ago in Nature where they compared addiction genes in rats with addiction genes in humans:

At the bottom of the page you can find other studies done on the links between genetics and gambling addiction. A lot of overlap with the genetics that make people more prone to alcohol and drug addiction.
