Recognizing Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. It's important to honestly assess your relationship with gambling and recognize warning signs early. If you or someone you know exhibits several of the following behaviors, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses: Continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you've lost, often leading to even bigger losses.
- Gambling beyond your means: Spending money on gambling that should go toward bills, rent, food, or other essential expenses.
- Borrowing money to gamble: Taking loans, using credit cards, or borrowing from friends and family to fund gambling activity.
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or important family obligations because of gambling or thinking about gambling.
- Lying about gambling: Hiding the extent of your gambling activity from loved ones or being dishonest about losses.
- Gambling to escape problems: Using gambling as a way to avoid dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, or other personal issues.
- Preoccupation with gambling: Constantly thinking about gambling, planning your next session, or reliving past wins and losses.
- Increasing bet sizes: Needing to wager more and more money to experience the same excitement or thrill.
- Inability to stop: Making unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling despite wanting to do so.
- Relationship problems: Experiencing conflicts with family, friends, or partners due to gambling behavior.
- Restlessness when not gambling: Feeling irritable, anxious, or agitated when trying to reduce or stop gambling.
- Risk-taking behavior: Gambling with money you can't afford to lose or taking bigger risks than before.
If you recognize several of these warning signs in yourself or someone you care about, it's important to seek help immediately. Problem gambling is a treatable condition, and recovery is possible with the right support.

Set Limits Before You Play
Decide in advance how much money and time you can afford to spend. Stick to these limits even when winning or losing.
Gambling Is Not Income
Never gamble with money needed for bills, rent, food, or essentials. Treat gambling as entertainment, not a way to make money.
Never Chase Your Losses
Trying to win back money you've lost almost always leads to bigger losses. Accept losses as part of the game and walk away.
Take Regular Breaks
Step away from gaming regularly to clear your head. Long uninterrupted sessions can lead to poor decision-making.
Balance With Other Activities
Maintain a healthy lifestyle with work, family, hobbies, and social activities. Gambling should never be your only source of entertainment.
