Gambling disorder, recognized by both the ICD-11 and DSM-5, causes significant dysfunction in personal and social domains. A review of 17 articles published between 2014 and 2024 on the effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for this condition revealed that CBT, particularly when combined with mindfulness practices and programs such as Gamblers Anonymous, is effective in reducing gambling behaviors and associated symptoms. Young, educated men are the most affected, whereas women tend to engage more in non-strategic forms of gambling. Multidisciplinary approaches appear promising, especially in cases with comorbidities. However, further research is needed to assess CBT's long-term effectiveness and ensure greater sample diversity. Keywords: Gambling Disorder. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Pathological Gambling.
