Abstract
Gambling disorder (GD) is a behavioral addiction, but there is little research on its etiology and whether sex differences exist. This study examined influences on GD using Australian samples, finding significant genetic and nonshared environmental influences. No sex differences in etiology were found. Results align with other addictive disorders.
