Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. It is important to recognise the warning signs early:
- Spending more money or time on gambling than you can afford
- Chasing losses by increasing bets after losing
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed about gambling
- Lying to friends and family about gambling habits
- Gambling to escape problems or relieve negative feelings
Tips for Staying in Control
✅ Set a Budget
Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start and stick to it.
✅ Set Time Limits
Use deposit limits and session time reminders offered by betting sites.
❌ Never Chase Losses
Accept that losing is part of gambling. Chasing losses leads to bigger problems.
❌ Never Borrow to Bet
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use credit or borrow.
