Responsible Gambling
At this site we believe gambling should be enjoyable and entertaining. However, for some people gambling can become a problem. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available.
Recognising Problem Gambling
You may have a gambling problem if you:
- Spend more money or time gambling than you can afford
- Find it hard to stop or control your gambling
- Feel anxious, irritable or depressed when not gambling
- Borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling
- Lie to family or friends about how much you gamble
- Chase losses by gambling with more money
- Neglect work, relationships or responsibilities due to gambling
