Responsible Gambling — Play Safely

Gambling is a form of entertainment that involves real financial risk. Most people who gamble do so without harm, but for some it can become a serious problem affecting finances, relationships and mental health. This page provides honest information and resources.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Common warning signs include: spending more money or time than intended; chasing losses; gambling with money needed for bills or food; lying about gambling; feeling anxious or depressed when not gambling; borrowing money to gamble; or gambling to escape problems or relieve stress.
