I haven't said anything about it yet. I think it is best to offer help to the gambling addict (even financially if he has current problems) but only when he seeks therapy or gets help. And then you don't pay him cash out, but pay the debts, electricity bill or whatever directly. With everything else you do not really help the person, because the money is gambled away anyway or he stands later again with the same problems on the mat.
But also paying the Debt directly is not helpful, because as I said, if he does not get help, he will have the same problems in a short time ...
Lending or giving money to a gambling addict just like that or whatever is rather counterproductive. He or she will become even more addicted and the person will learn that someone will always help him or her out of the shit and that he or she does not need to make any effort to change his or her situation.

As I said, I also made the same mistake...It's bad when you feel like you've been had and lose your trust in people because you only wanted to help. In the end, unfortunately, you do not help. Very sad that it's 4 digits with you. That is of course harder to cope with.
I think that people who rip you off and lie to you will be called to account at some point, because that's not how you get through life in the long run.
I wish you all the best and that it will still be something. I think the money doesn't matter afterwards, if the friendship is worth something. Is more valuable, I think.

lending money is never good, that's what banks are for, they see it as cold as ice when they want their money back.
