The majority of our customers enjoy gambling and do so in a safe and responsible manner. However, for a small number of people, gambling can be damaging and may impact their lives. It is important to recognise if you have a gambling problem as early as possible so that you can put preventative measures in place and get further help if needed.
With this in mind, we would ask all our customers to consider the following:
If you are concerned that you may have a gambling problem then please ask yourself the following questions or use GamCare’s self-assessment tool:
- Do you lose time from work or college due to gambling?
- Do you gamble to escape from something or just to pass the time?
- Do you ever gamble alone for long periods of time?
- Do you ever gamble to make money to pay off debts?
- After losing, do you feel the need to gamble more to recover your losses?
- After winning, do you feel the need to try and win more?
- Do you often gamble until you lose all of your money?
- Have you ever lied, stolen or borrowed to facilitate your gambling?
- Have you ever sold anything to finance gambling?
- Are you reluctant to use gambling money for normal expenditure?
- Do arguments or disappointments ever make you feel like gambling?
- Have you ever felt depressed or suicidal as a result of your gambling?
The more of these questions that you answer "Yes" to, the more likely it is that gambling is adversely affecting your life.
