behaviour, which may be online (i.e., over the internet) or offline, manifested by:
1. impaired control over gambling (e.g., onset, frequency, intensity, duration, termination,
context); 2. increasing priority given to gambling to the extent that gambling takes
precedence over other life interests and daily activities; and 3. continuation or
escalation of gambling despite the occurrence of negative consequences. The pattern
of gambling behaviour may be continuous or episodic and recurrent. The pattern of
gambling behaviour results in significant distress or in significant impairment in
personal, family, social, educational, occupational or other important areas of functioning.

may be shortened if all diagnostic requirements are met and symptoms are severe.;
