Warning Signs of a Gambling Problem

  • Spending more time or money on gambling than you can afford.
  • Finding it hard to stop or cut back, even when you want to.
  • Chasing losses to win back money you’ve lost.
  • Borrowing money, selling things, or neglecting bills to gamble.
  • Lying to family or friends about how much you gamble.
  • Feeling anxious, guilty, or depressed about your gambling.
  • Gambling to escape stress, loneliness, or other problems.

Tips to Stay in Control

  • Set a budget — never gamble money meant for rent, bills, or family.
  • Set a time limit before you start.
  • Never chase losses — accept that lost money is gone.
  • Don’t gamble when upset, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol.
  • Treat any winnings as a bonus, not as income.
  • Don’t borrow money to gamble.
