Responsible gambling means making informed decisions about when, where, and how much you gamble. It involves recognising that gambling is not a way to make money and that losses are part of the experience. Keeping gambling fun requires awareness and self-discipline.
Signs That Gambling May Be a Problem
It is important to recognise early warning signs. You may need to reassess your gambling habits if you experience any of the following:
- Spending more money or time on gambling than you can afford
- Feeling anxious, stressed, or irritable when not gambling
- Chasing losses by continuing to play after losing
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities
- Lying to others about how much you gamble
- Using gambling as an escape from personal problems
Tips for Staying in Control
Following these guidelines can help you maintain a healthy relationship with gambling:
- Set a budget before you start playing and stick to it
- Set time limits for your gambling sessions
- Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose
- Take regular breaks during play
- Avoid gambling when upset, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol
- Treat gambling as entertainment, not a source of income
- Balance gambling with other hobbies and activities
