How to help someone with addiction to online gambling?

My cousin, who I don’t talk to very often but grew up very close to called me to borrow. Saying he was going to lose eveything if I didn’t lend. It went very dark, was crying and even threatened me with suicide.

Turns out he owes everyone money. Grandma, parents, siblings, sibling’s in laws, a lot of friends so many more.

I didn’t lend and called his parents and they explained to me that I will never see my money again and I absolutely am not helping him with giving money.

So i didn’t…

what advice would you give me? I am very shocked by this and would like to help him in some way. He’s super broke and makes over 6 figures but blows it all on gambling.
