Know the Signs
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Spending more money or time on gambling than you can afford
- Feeling anxious, worried, or guilty about your gambling
- Chasing losses or borrowing money to gamble
- Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Lying to others about how much you gamble
- Gambling to escape problems or relieve negative feelings
- Finding it difficult to stop or control your gambling
- Relationship conflicts caused by gambling
Tips for Responsible Play
- Set a budget: Decide how much you can afford to spend before you start and stick to it
- Set a time limit: Decide in advance how long you will play
- Don't chase losses: Accept that losing is part of the game
- Take regular breaks: Step away from gambling regularly
- Don't gamble when upset: Avoid gambling when you're stressed, depressed, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Balance gambling with other activities: Ensure gambling is just one of many leisure activities
- Never borrow to gamble: Only use money you can afford to lose
