Recognising Problem Gambling and Seeking Help
Gambling should always be a form of entertainment and never a source of stress or financial difficulty. If you find that it's no longer fun or you're experiencing negative consequences, it's crucial to recognise the signs and seek help. Please be aware of these common warning signs of problem gambling:
- Playing longer than planned or spending more time gambling than intended.
- Spending more money than you can afford to lose.
- Chasing losses – trying to win back money you've lost, often leading to further losses.
- Lying to loved ones about the extent of your gambling or financial situation.
- Feeling anxious, guilty, or depressed because of your gambling activities.
- Borrowing money, selling possessions, or neglecting bills to fund gambling.
- Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities due to gambling.
Warning Signs - Take Action Now
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please reach out for help immediately. Support is available 24/7.
Tips for Safer Play
- Set a budget before you start playing and stick strictly to it. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
- Never gamble under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or when feeling emotional (stressed, sad, angry).
- Take regular breaks – step away from the game for at least 15 minutes every hour to clear your head.
- Remember: gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems.
- Never try to chase losses – this often leads to further financial strain and deeper problems.
- Set time limits for your gaming sessions and adhere to them.
