Recognising Problem Gambling

Warning signs can include spending more than planned, increasing stakes to recover losses, hiding gambling from other people, borrowing to gamble, missing work or responsibilities, feeling restless when trying to stop, or continuing despite financial or relationship harm. A single sign does not diagnose a disorder, but repeated loss of control is a reason to stop gambling and seek independent support.

• Depositing again after reaching a pre-set loss limit.
• Extending sessions because of a belief that a win is “due.”
• Using credit, loans or essential household funds to gamble.
• Hiding account activity or losses from family or partners.
• Feeling unable to take a planned break from casino or sportsbook play.
• Gambling to escape stress, anxiety or financial pressure.

Tools to Stay in Control

Use deposit, loss, wager or session limits where the operator provides them. Keep limits low enough that losing the full amount would not affect essential spending. A cooling-off period can create distance from impulsive play. Device-level blocking tools such as BetBlocker can add friction across multiple gambling sites, while bank or payment-provider gambling blocks may provide another layer of protection where available.

If you reach a limit, do not raise it during the same emotional moment. Review the decision only after a meaningful break. For sports betting, avoid treating near misses or a sequence of losses as evidence that the next event is more likely to win. For casino play, remember that past outcomes do not create a debt that the game must repay.
