Recognizing Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and may be difficult to recognize. If you or someone you know is experiencing any of the following warning signs, it may be time to seek help.

Chasing losses by betting more to try to win back money you've lost
Betting more than you can afford to lose
Hiding gambling activity from friends, family, or loved ones
Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
Lying about how much time or money you spend gambling
Feeling anxious, depressed, or guilty after gambling sessions

Self-Assessment Questions

Ask yourself the following questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to several of them, you may want to consider reaching out to a support resource.

01Do you spend more time or money gambling than you intended?
02Do you feel the need to bet with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement?
03Have you made repeated unsuccessful efforts to control or stop gambling?
04Do you gamble to escape problems or relieve feelings of helplessness or anxiety?
05Do you return another day to try to win back money you lost?
06Do you lie to family members or others to hide the extent of your gambling?
07Have you jeopardized or lost a significant relationship, job, or opportunity because of gambling?
08Do you rely on others to provide money to relieve desperate financial situations caused by gambling?

Setting Limits

One of the most effective ways to keep gambling fun is to set limits before you start. Here are three essential boundaries to establish.

Set Deposit Limits

Most licensed operators allow you to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Use these tools to pre-commit to a budget before you start playing.

Set Time Limits

Decide in advance how long you'll play in a single session. Many platforms offer session timers and reality checks to alert you when you've been playing too long.

Set Loss Limits

Determine the maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period. Once you hit your limit, walk away — chasing losses only compounds the problem.

Self-Exclusion Resources

If you feel that you need a break from gambling, the following organizations offer confidential support, counseling, and self-exclusion programs.

National Council on Problem Gambling

Leading national advocate for programs and services to assist problem gamblers and their families.

Gamblers Anonymous

A fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope to solve their common problem.

If someone you care about may have a gambling problem, your support can make a real difference. Here's how you can help:

  • Approach the conversation with empathy, not judgment
  • Encourage them to speak with a professional counselor
  • Set clear boundaries regarding finances
  • Take care of your own wellbeing — support groups exist for families too
