Gambling for Entertainment, Not Income
Gambling should be treated as a form of entertainment — like going to a cinema or a concert. You should only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never chase losses, and never gamble with money set aside for rent, bills, food, or other essential expenses.
Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Here are some warning signs to watch out for:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you intended.
- Feeling stressed, anxious, or irritable when you are not gambling.
- Chasing losses — gambling to try to win back money you have lost.
- Neglecting work, family, or social commitments because of gambling.
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
- Hiding your gambling habits from family or friends.
- Gambling to escape from problems, anxiety, or depression.
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it is important to seek help.
