Self-Assessment
Ask yourself the following questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to more than two, it may be time to seek support:
- Do you spend more money gambling than you can comfortably afford to lose?
- Have you ever gambled to escape problems or feelings of unhappiness?
- After losing, do you feel you must return as soon as possible to win back your losses?
- Have you ever lied about the amount of time or money you spend gambling?
- Has gambling ever caused financial stress, relationship problems, or difficulties at work?
