The fact that you have an admitted gambling problem is not going to hold any weight should you go to court. It is doubtful you would prevail against the casino in getting your money returned. If the charges were made on your husband's card without his permission or authorization, he should notify his credit card company and request a chargeback which is similar to putting a stop payment on a check.
