Recognizing Problem Gambling (Warning Signs)
It is essential to recognize 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 attempting to cut down on gambling.
- Gambling to escape from problems or to relieve feelings of helplessness.
- Neglecting personal or professional responsibilities due to gambling.
- Chasing losses by gambling more.
Self-Assessment Tools/Questions
We encourage our players to assess their gambling habits. Consider the following questions:
- Do you often gamble more than you can afford to lose?
- Have you ever lied to family or friends about your gambling?
- Do you feel anxious or stressed when you are not gambling?
- Have you experienced financial difficulties due to gambling?
