The best quotes are:
"the survey reveals that non-problem gamblers (i.e. the vast majority of those who participate in any gambling) are, on average, less likely to suffer from a common mental health condition (depression, generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, phobias, obsessive compulsive disorder) or problematic debt, compared to the general population"
and
"recreational gamblers enjoy, on average, better mental health and wellbeing than those who abstain entirely"
The government hates you the gambling public too but that's another story.

Haven't looked at the article but it wouldn't surprise me if that is true.  I did look at suicide statistics for OECD countries and those that had more stringent gambling restrictions had on average higher suicide rates.  IIRC South Korea, has the highest suicide rate and the most stringent gambling restrictions

The 2 highest in Europe are Finland and Sweden,

Which is amazing ,given Finland also is always top of happiest people,and Sweden has a great social care,system.

Maybe the long dark winters trump this.
