Gambling should always be fun. Here's how to keep it that way — and where to get help if you need it.
Online gambling is entertainment. For the overwhelming majority of players, it remains exactly that — a fun, exciting way to spend time. However, it's important to stay informed and aware. Gambling becomes a problem when it stops being fun and starts causing financial, emotional, or social harm.
It's worth checking in with yourself periodically. Signs that gambling may be becoming a problem include: spending more than you can afford, chasing losses, borrowing money to gamble, feeling irritable when not gambling, neglecting responsibilities, hiding your gambling from family or friends, and gambling to escape emotional distress.
If any of these resonate, please reach out for support. Help is available and completely confidential.
