Maintaining Control
Gambling should be treated as a leisure pursuit, not a method for earning money or boosting income. Think of your time at the casino as a break or a pastime, keep a close eye on your spending, and avoid betting amounts that are too important to lose.
To support you in staying in control, we suggest these practical tips:
- See gambling as a way to unwind, not a financial strategy.
- If you lose, don’t rush to win it back right away—step away and return another time.
- Avoid staking sums that would cause distress if lost.
- Keep track of how much time and money you’re investing in gaming.
- Should you need a pause, reach out to our Support Service, and we’ll temporarily halt your access. Note that this requires a confirmation call from our support team to you, the account holder.
Identifying Potential Issues
If you’re worried gambling might be a problem for you, reflect on these questions to evaluate your habits:
- Is gambling disrupting your job or studies?
- Do you turn to gambling to fill time or dodge boredom?
- Do you often play solo for long stretches?
- Has anyone commented on how much time you dedicate to gambling?
- Are you spending less time with loved ones because of gaming?
- Have you hidden the truth about your gambling time or costs?
- Have you ever misled others or taken money to keep playing?
- Do you hesitate to spend gambling money elsewhere?
- Do you keep playing until your funds run dry?
- Do you feel compelled to chase losses right after they happen?
- Do you feel upset or lost after a gambling loss?
- Do life’s setbacks or frustrations push you to gamble?
- Does gambling ever leave you feeling down or spark harmful thoughts?
If you answer “yes” to several of these, it might signal a gambling issue. For help, explore the support options listed below.
