  2. Antisocial or personality gamblers use gambling as a way to get money by illegal means
  3. Casual social gamblers gamble for recreation, sociability and entertainment
  4. Serious Social Gamblers invest more of their time in gambling. Gambling is a major source of relaxation and entertainment.
