The total health emergency for Coronavirus, since drastic measures have been taken to deal with the pandemic, these have also had an effect on gambling, ultimately stopping much of this practice. With an mandatory stop to betting, slot machines and various lotteries, two mirror phenomena occurred: the spontaneous remission of the GAP symptom and the stop of the same therapeutic programs for people. Those who had already known the state of pathological addiction saw the drive towards problematic behavior diminish; ongoing therapies for many patients have been forced to cease. In short, a lesser push to play counterbalanced the risk of nullifying the result of the psychotherapies in progress, precisely because they could not continue. Addiction medicine specialists have obtained evidence of how commercial business spreads pathological addiction with an industrial project. The knowledge of the economic and financial aspects of a company and the strategies of the gambling market is therefore of great importance also for professionals involved in the therapeutic management of people with severe forms of gambling disorder. Today, even the clinician must acquire the competence of a multidisciplinary and multi-professional reading that also includes aspects albeit unrelated to his initial specialist preparation.
