Signs that wagering may be a problem

  • You bet more than you can comfortably afford to lose.
  • You chase losses or borrow money to keep punting.
  • You lie about how much time or money you spend on gambling.
  • You bet to escape stress, boredom or a flat mood.
  • Family, work or studies suffer because of your gambling.

If any of these sound familiar, reach out. Help is free and confidential.
