Know the Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Here are some warning signs to watch for:
- Spending more money than you can afford to lose
- Chasing losses with bigger bets
- Gambling to escape problems or feelings
- Lying about gambling activities
- Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities
- Borrowing money to gamble
- Feeling anxious or depressed when not gambling
- Unable to stop or control gambling behavior
Tips for Responsible Gaming
Set Limits
- Set a budget before you start and stick to it
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
- Set time limits for gambling sessions
- Take regular breaks
Keep Perspective
- Remember that gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money
- Accept that losses are part of gambling
- Don't chase losses
- Celebrate small wins, but don't expect them to continue
Stay in Control
- Never gamble when you're upset, depressed, or under the influence
- Balance gambling with other activities
- Don't use gambling as a way to solve financial problems
- If you feel you're losing control, stop immediately
Self-Exclusion and Cooling-Off Periods
Most reputable gambling platforms offer self-exclusion tools and cooling-off periods. These features allow you to:
- Temporarily suspend your account
- Set deposit limits
- Set time limits for gambling sessions
- Permanently exclude yourself from the platform
If you feel you need to take a break from gambling, don't hesitate to use these tools.
