Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following behaviours, you may be at risk:

• Attempting to chase losses after a losing session
• Borrowing money to continue gambling
• Neglecting work, family, or health due to gambling
• Hiding or lying about the extent of your gambling activity
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or distressed when trying to stop
• Increasing bet sizes to achieve the same level of excitement
• Gambling as a way to escape stress, loneliness, or personal problems
• Spending more time gambling than intended
• Feeling guilt or shame after gambling sessions

If any of these signs apply to you, consider using our protection tools or contacting a support organisation.
