Recognizing Problem Gambling — Could You Be at Risk?
Problem gambling occurs when betting becomes uncontrollable and begins to affect your life. Ask yourself:
- Do you gamble longer or more often than planned?
- Do you need to bet larger amounts to feel the same excitement?
- Do you hide your gambling from friends or family?
- Do you gamble to escape stress, sadness, or personal problems?
- Do you chase losses, trying to win back lost money?
- Have you borrowed money or sold belongings to fund gambling?
- Is gambling affecting your work, studies, finances, or relationships?
- Do you gamble longer or more often than planned?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, consider seeking help or using our self-exclusion tools.
