Responsible gambling

Gambling is entertainment that costs money. It is not a way to make money, and it stops being entertainment quickly if the amount stops being affordable.

Everything on this page is free, and none of it requires you to talk to a casino.

Signs worth taking seriously

• Gambling with money set aside for something else
• Chasing losses, or gambling to feel better rather than for entertainment
• Hiding how much or how often you play
• Borrowing to gamble, or selling things to gamble
• Feeling irritable or anxious when you try to stop
