I look at it it slightly different, being addicted to gambling encompasses all forms of betting. This would include any form of betting and not specific to Poker or even cards in general.
My understanding is when betting starts to stimulate your brain's reward system (the rush you feel when you win or even the downer you feel when you don't win) it can be like a drug to some. The need becomes something powerful enough to have a grip on you causing the addiction to need and want more and more to satisfy the urge. An addiction could be anything but in this case it would be linked to a form of betting.

Poker Players can be addicted to the game just like any other addiction.
When it comes to Gamblers in poker, I tend to think of those few that base their decision making on luck rather then having logic being the guiding light.

Either way addiction "to something" is real and if you feel you might be heading down the path, I would always suggest the path be broken before it's to late.
