Gambling should be fun, not a problem

Important Notice

Gambling carries a real risk of addiction. If it's starting to weigh on your life, reach out for help now rather than later. You aren't on your own, and support lines run around the clock.

Signs of Problem Gambling

  • Staking more than your budget can absorb
  • Letting work, family, or other duties slide
  • Betting harder to recover what you've lost
  • Taking loans or selling belongings to fund play
  • Hiding how much you actually gamble
  • Feeling anxious or low because of gambling
  • Finding it impossible to cut back or quit

Tips for Safe Gambling

Set a Budget

Wager only what you can comfortably part with.

Set Time Limits

Keep sessions short and don't let them stretch on.

Never Chase Losses

A loss is part of the game, so leave it there.

Take Breaks

Step away often to keep a clear head.

Self-Assessment: Is Gambling Affecting You?

Answer each one honestly. The questions draw on the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI). Two or more “yes” answers is a signal to contact one of the organizations listed above.

1

In the last 12 months, have you bet more than you could afford to lose?

2

Have you needed to bet larger amounts to feel the same level of excitement?

3

Have you returned another day to chase back money you lost?

4

Have you borrowed money or sold something to fund your gambling?

5

Have you suspected you might have a problem with gambling?

6

Has gambling triggered any health issues for you, such as stress or anxiety?

This is not a diagnostic tool. For a professional assessment, contact GamCare (0808 8020 133) or your local gambling helpline.
