Gambling Should Be Entertainment
Online gambling is a form of entertainment and should never be seen as a way to make money. Set a budget before you start playing and stick to it. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
Signs of Problem Gambling
- Spending more money or time gambling than you intended
- Chasing losses by increasing bets
- Gambling interfering with work, relationships, or daily responsibilities
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Lying about gambling activity to family or friends
- Neglecting personal hygiene, meals, or sleep due to gambling
