Recognizing Problem Gambling Signs

Gambling should be an enjoyable leisure activity. If gambling is causing stress or problems in your life, it may be time to reassess your relationship with it.

Warning Signs to Watch For

Problem gambling can manifest in various ways. Be aware of these common signs:

Spending more time or money gambling than intended
Chasing losses or feeling the need to win back money
Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
Lying to friends or family about gambling habits
Gambling to escape problems or relieve negative emotions
Neglecting work, education, or family responsibilities due to gambling
Feeling irritable or restless when trying to stop gambling
Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money
Jeopardizing relationships, job opportunities, or education because of gambling
Thinking obsessively about gambling

Self-Assessment Questions

Ask yourself these questions to evaluate your gambling habits:

Do you gamble to escape problems or relieve feelings of helplessness, guilt, anxiety, or depression?
Have you lied to family members, friends, or others to hide your gambling?
Have you made unsuccessful attempts to control, cut back, or stop gambling?
Do you feel restless or irritable when attempting to cut down or stop gambling?
After losing money gambling, do you often return to get even (“chase” your losses)?
Has gambling jeopardized or caused problems in your relationships, job, or education?
Have you needed to borrow money due to gambling losses?

If you answered “yes” to several of these questions, it may be time to consider seeking support.

When to Seek Help

There is no specific threshold that defines when gambling becomes problematic. If gambling is causing any negative impact on your life, finances, relationships, or mental wellbeing, it’s appropriate to seek help.

Remember that reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. Professional help is available and effective for those struggling with gambling problems.
