Recognising the Signs of Problem Gambling

Gambling should always remain an enjoyable activity. However, if you notice any of the following signs, it may be time to seek help:

• Gambling to recover losses or make money.
• Borrowing money or using funds intended for essentials to gamble.
• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended.
• Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling.
• Feeling anxious, stressed, or irritable when not gambling.
• Hiding gambling activity from friends or family.
• Constantly thinking about gambling or planning your next bet.

If you recognise these behaviours, we encourage you to take action immediately by using our responsible gaming tools or seeking professional support.

Tips for Safer Gambling

1. Set a budget before you start and never exceed it.
2. View gambling as entertainment, not a way to make money.
3. Avoid chasing losses—accept that losing is part of the game.
4. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
5. Take regular breaks to maintain perspective and control.
6. Do not gamble when feeling stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
7. Balance gambling with other social and recreational activities.
