Gaming is new. There is not enough standard like 0.08 blood alcohol to be DUI. Some people consider gaming expenditure under the Misc Spending. Depending on the region, 2.9% seems to be a reasonable number. If you have a gross income of 100,000 you can lose up to 2900 "IF" you don't spend on any other Misc Item. A lot of people lose a lot more and remain trouble free. People with an addictive personality is a totally different topic. Marathon runners, drummers practice 10 hours a day, or workaholic CEOs are all ADDICTS. It is just that the cost to oneself/society is different. Bill Gate thought taking 2 hours off work to get married was a sacrifice. Now he thinks it is ok to edit human DNA. His addiction of "getting to the next level" is a million times worse than all pathological gamblers ... combined. 
After all, gambling losses is not ALL BAD. You can be assured your money is feeding a lot of families. It shows you the side of you that you never knew existed. It teaches you humility and how to accept/adapt/regroup. Good pre-requisite for entrepreneurship. Elon Musk was down to his last 40 million (from a billion he got from paypal) with his 3 losing projects. Now he is the richest man. Wonder if he played poker when he was young???  :)
