Recognizing Problem Gambling (Warning Signs)
It is important to be aware of the signs of problem gambling. Some common warning signs include:
- Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts of money.
- Becoming restless or irritable when trying to cut down on gambling.
- Gambling to escape from problems or to relieve feelings of helplessness.
- Neglecting personal and professional responsibilities due to gambling.
- Chasing losses by gambling more in an attempt to win back lost money.
Self-Assessment Tools/Questions
We encourage players to regularly assess their gambling habits. Consider the following questions:
- Do you often gamble more than you can afford to lose?
- Do you find yourself lying about your gambling activities?
- Has gambling affected your relationships or work life?
- Do you feel anxious or stressed when not gambling?
Setting Personal Limits
To help maintain control over your gambling, we recommend setting personal limits on:
- Deposit Limits: Decide how much money you can afford to deposit.
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose.
