Understanding Gambling: Stay Informed
Gambling should always be for entertainment. It's important to be aware of the risks and to recognise if your habits are becoming problematic.
Signs of Problem Gambling
If you or someone you know exhibits any of the following behaviours, it might be a sign of a gambling problem:
- Playing longer than planned.
- Spending more money than you can afford.
- Chasing losses, trying to win back money you've lost.
- Lying to loved ones about the time or money spent on gambling.
- Feeling anxious, stressed, or depressed because of gambling.
- Borrowing money to gamble or to pay gambling debts.
- Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities, or social activities due to gambling.
Tips for Responsible Play
Set a budget:
Decide how much money you can afford to lose before you start playing and stick to it.
Set time limits:
Decide how long you will play for and take regular breaks. We recommend at least 15 minutes every hour.
Never gamble under the influence:
Avoid playing when under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or when feeling emotional.
Gambling is entertainment:
Remember that gambling is a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems.
Never chase losses:
Accept that losses are part of the game and do not try to win back lost money by increasing stakes.
Balance your activities:
Ensure gambling is one of many leisure activities and doesn't take over your life.

Self-Assessment: Check Your Habits
If you're unsure about your gambling habits, consider taking a quick self-assessment. Answering a few simple questions can help you reflect on your play:
How often do you play longer than you planned?
Have you ever borrowed money to gamble?
Have you been criticised for your gambling by others?
Have you felt guilty about your gambling?
Have you tried to chase losses after a losing streak?
If you answer 'yes' to several of these questions, it might be beneficial to set stricter limits or seek further advice from the support organisations listed above.
