Recognizing Problem Gambling (Warning Signs)
It is important to be aware of the signs that may indicate a problem with gambling. Some common warning signs include:
- Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts of money.
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down on gambling.
- Gambling to escape from problems or to relieve feelings of helplessness.
- Neglecting personal relationships or responsibilities due to gambling.
- Experiencing financial difficulties due to gambling.
Self-Assessment Tools/Questions
To help you evaluate your gambling habits, consider the following questions:
- Do you often gamble more than you intend to?
- Have you ever felt guilty about your gambling?
- Do you borrow money or sell possessions to gamble?

Setting Personal Limits
We encourage our players to set personal limits on:
