Responsible Gambling

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
- Gambling with money you need for essential expenses
- Chasing losses by gambling more to "win back" money lost
- Lying to family or friends about gambling activity
- Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Unable to control the amount you gamble or when you stop
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling

- Treat any losses as the cost of entertainment, not as money to recover
- Set a time limit and stick to it
- Never gamble when you are stressed, depressed, or under the influence of alcohol
- Take regular breaks and don't chase losses
- Balance gambling with other leisure activities
- Never borrow money to gamble
Under-18s
Gambling is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. If you believe a minor is accessing gambling sites, use parental control software such as GamBlock or Net Nanny to restrict access.
