Problem Gambling 


Problem gambling is more than just financial loss in casino games; it affects your life, behaviour, and everything that matters. Whether your preference is sports betting, table games, or the excitement of slots, the key is to play responsibly. This means setting and adhering to a budget and maintaining harmony with your daily life. 


Like everything in life, gambling has its limits. Exceeding these limits or overindulging can lead to serious consequences. Responsible gambling is crucial to avoid disrupting your work, relationships, or financial health. 


Guidelines for Responsible Gambling 


Responsible gambling involves a few essential practices, the most crucial being adherence to basic rules. Knowing your limits and when to stop is integral to a positive gambling experience. Responsibility lies in your hands. 


  • Consider the following when engaging in online gambling: 
  • Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. 
  • Recognize the right time to stop. 
  • If it’s no longer enjoyable, take a break. 
  • Set clear financial and time limits. 
  • Play for fun, not as a way to make money. 
  • Avoid gambling when emotionally unstable. 
  • Steer clear of gambling under the influence of alcohol or drugs. 
  • Seek help when necessary. 


Recognizing Signs of Gambling Problems 


Gambling addiction is often termed a 'hidden illness' due to its lack of obvious physical symptoms, unlike addictions like drugs and alcohol. This invisibility often leads gamblers to deny or remain unaware of their problem. 


If you suspect a gambling issue, these signs can provide clarity: 

  • Spending more money and time than you can afford. 
  • Chasing losses through increased gambling. 
  • Lying about your gambling habits. 
  • Neglecting relationships and hobbies for gambling. 
  • Constant preoccupation with gambling. 
  • Gambling until you're financially drained. 
  • Only feeling excitement when increasing bets. 
  • Borrowing money or engaging in unethical behaviours to fund gambling.
  • Feeling anxious, worried, depressed, or guilty about your gambling.
