Stay in Control
Gambling should be a form of amusement rather than a way to make money. Mismanagement can lead to serious emotional and financial repercussions. To indulge in gambling responsibly, consider the following advice:
- When the fun stops, it's time to walk away. Always remember, this is meant to be a form of entertainment, not a job.
- Avoid chasing after losses; there's always another opportunity to play tomorrow.
- Bet only what you can afford to lose.
- Keep track of the time you spend gambling and the money you invest in it.
- If you find it hard to rein in your gambling habits, reach out for support, and consider requesting a temporary freeze on your account to take a breather.
- For help with gambling addiction, please contact the professional organizations mentioned below.
Losing Control?
If gambling is impacting your life adversely, reflect on these questions:
- Has gambling started to interfere with your job or education?
- Do you gamble out of boredom?
- Has anyone close to you voiced their concerns regarding your gambling habits?
- Is your gambling negatively influencing your personal relationships?
- Have you ever deceived others about your gambling expenditures?
- Have you resorted to theft in order to finance your gambling activities?
- Are your gambling pursuits leading you to sacrifice essential needs?
- Do you continue placing bets until every last penny is lost?
- Do you feel an urgent need to recoup your losses immediately?
- Are you gambling as an escape from feelings of sadness or depression?
- After a loss, have you experienced feelings of hopelessness or had thoughts of self-harm?
Affirmative answers to these questions may suggest a problematic approach to gambling, and we strongly advise reflecting on stopping gambling altogether or seeking expert help.
