Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling is intended as entertainment. If gambling begins to affect finances, relationships, or daily responsibilities, reducing play or taking a break may be appropriate.
- Spending beyond your financial limits.
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends.
- Feeling restless, anxious, or irritable when you cannot play.
- Borrowing money or using credit to continue gambling.
- Neglecting work, study, or routine obligations because of gambling.
If you recognise one or more of these signs, pause your play and consider contacting a qualified support service.
