Recognizing Problem Gambling

Learn how to identify signs of problem gambling behavior.

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. Learning to recognize the warning signs is the first step toward getting help.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

  • Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
  • Gambling to escape problems or relieve feelings of helplessness
  • Jeopardizing or losing important relationships or job opportunities
  • Making repeated unsuccessful efforts to control or stop gambling
  • Feeling irritable or restless when not gambling
  • Lying to family members or others about gambling habits
  • Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling

If you or someone you know is exhibiting these signs, it may be time to seek help from a professional counselor or support group.

Setting Health Limits

Strategies for maintaining control over your gambling activities.

Responsible gambling means viewing gambling as entertainment, not as a way to make money. Here are some strategies to help you maintain control:

Tips for Setting Gambling Limits

  • Set a time limit: Decide how long you'll gamble before you start, and stick to it.
  • Set a money limit: Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use money for essential expenses.
  • Take regular breaks: Step away from gambling regularly to clear your mind and reassess.
  • Don't chase losses: Accept that losing is part of gambling and don't try to win back lost money.
  • Balance gambling with other activities: Ensure gambling doesn't replace other hobbies or social activities.
  • Use deposit limits: Many betting platforms allow you to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits.

If you or someone you know is exhibiting these signs, it may be time to seek help from a professional counselor or support group.
