What Does Responsible Gambling Mean?

Responsible gambling involves maintaining control over your gambling habits and ensuring that it remains a form of entertainment. This includes:

  • Setting limits on both time and money spent gambling.
  • Only using funds that you can afford to lose.
  • Avoiding gambling when feeling emotional, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol.
  • Knowing when to stop and seeking help if gambling becomes problematic.

Recognizing Problem Gambling

It’s crucial to be aware of signs that may indicate gambling is becoming an issue. These signs may include:

  • Spending more money or time gambling than planned.
  • Ignoring responsibilities at work, home, or in personal life due to gambling.
  • Borrowing money or selling belongings to gamble.
  • Feeling guilt, anxiety, or frustration after gambling.
  • Struggling to stop or cut down on gambling, despite multiple attempts.

If you or someone close to you exhibits any of these behaviors, it’s important to seek help without delay.
