As advice always even if the doctor advice is that prevention is better than cure. Yet in your case since you are now dealing with it i can recommend you to never make a free space on your time make your self busy do productive things in this way maybe it can reduce your wants,
well, if someone already addicted badly with gambling I don't thing these type of suggestions work for him. but yes. mostly if you are buys you don't do bad activity. I think doing marriage also could be a good idea. because it make you busy in your married life and after marriage you must have to do some job and make a routine for your life. so you won't have that much time to play gambling. (this won't work for hard core gamblers)
The problem is that if that person can't get through with being adicted to gambling even if he got married is that it would be i guess a bigger problem, so take action slowly then go to next step you are taking which is getting married

Your right guys but some people this methods are not working and yeah psychiatrist will help you but not all will work.. better to try all methods if you are addicted try also vacation go to far places try change hobby like playing mmorpg league of legends or dota2 or the new trending pokemon go. this is i think that can help you to prevent and stay away in gambling.
Your suggestion is quite good this keeps them busy and atleast they will somehow forget to gamble
