β‘ Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Watch out for these signs in yourself or someone you know:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you can afford
- Chasing losses β betting more to try to win back what you lost
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Hiding your gambling activity from friends or family
- Gambling when feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed
- Neglecting work, studies, or relationships because of gambling
- Feeling unable to stop even when you want to
β Tips for Safer Gambling
Set a Budget
Only bet money you can afford to lose. Set a fixed daily or weekly limit and stick to it.
Set Time Limits
Decide in advance how long you will spend. Take regular breaks and step away from screens.
Never Chase Losses
Accept that losses are part of gambling. Never increase bets to recover what you've lost.
Gamble Sober
Avoid gambling when under the influence of alcohol or when emotionally distressed.
Keep It Adult-Only
Gambling is strictly for adults (18+). Keep betting accounts and apps away from minors.
Use Self-Exclusion
Most licensed bookmakers offer self-exclusion tools. Use them if you need a break.
