Gambling becomes a problem when it negatively impacts your life. Warning signs include:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you intended
- Gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Lying to family and friends about gambling habits
- Neglecting work, study or family responsibilities
- Chasing losses — betting more to try to win back money you’ve lost
- Feeling anxious, irritable or distressed when not gambling
Tips for Safe Gambling
- Set a budget — Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use essential funds.
- Set time limits — Decide how long you will play before you start and stick to it.

- Take regular breaks — Step away from the screen regularly.
