Play for the fun of it — never to fix a money problem

Important Notice

Gambling has a real hook, and it can tighten before you notice. If it's started to drag on your life, don't sit on it — reach out today. Others have walked this road, and help is there around the clock.

Signs of Problem Gambling

  • Wagering beyond what your budget can take
  • Letting job, family, or other duties slip
  • Doubling down to claw back what you lost
  • Borrowing or selling things to fund more play
  • Keeping quiet about how much you gamble
  • Feeling anxious or down over gambling
  • Wanting to cut back but not being able to

Tips for Safe Gambling

Set a Budget

Stake only what you're fine losing, and set that figure up front.

Set Time Limits

Cap how long a session runs before you sit down.

Never Chase Losses

A cold streak isn't a cue to bet more — take the loss.

Take Breaks

Stepping away now and then keeps your judgement sharp.

Self-Assessment: Is Gambling Affecting You?

Give honest answers. The checklist below is drawn from the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI). If two or more land as “yes”, it's worth contacting one of the groups listed above.

1

Have you bet more than you could afford to lose in the past 12 months?

2

Have you needed to gamble with larger amounts of money to get the same feeling of excitement?

3

Have you gone back another day to try to win back money you lost?

4

Have you borrowed money or sold anything to get money to gamble?

5

Have you felt that you might have a problem with gambling?

6

Has gambling caused you any health problems, including stress or anxiety?

This is not a diagnostic tool. For professional assessment, contact GamCare (0808 8020 133) or your local gambling helpline.
