Gambling: Know the Facts

Gambling involves risk. The odds are always in favour of the house, meaning that over time, most players will lose money. It is important to treat gambling as entertainment — money spent is the cost of that entertainment.

Problem gambling affects a small percentage of players but can have serious consequences for individuals and their families, including financial hardship, relationship breakdown and mental health issues.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

You may have a gambling problem if you:

Gamble with money intended for bills, rent or essential expenses.

Chase losses — continue gambling to try to win back money you have lost.

Lie to family or friends about how much you gamble or how much you have lost.

Feel anxious, irritable or depressed when not gambling.

Borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling.

Neglect work, family or social responsibilities due to gambling.

If any of these signs apply to you, please seek help immediately.

Self-Assessment

Ask yourself these questions honestly:

Have you ever spent more on gambling than you planned?

Have you ever borrowed money to gamble?

Has gambling affected your relationships or work?

Have you tried to stop gambling but failed?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, consider reaching out to a support organisation.

Responsible Gambling Tools

All reputable online casinos offer tools to help you stay in control of your gambling. These include:

Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly or monthly limits on how much you can deposit.

Session Time Limits: Set a time limit for your gaming sessions.

Loss Limits: Limit how much you can lose in a given period.

Reality Checks: Receive notifications about how long you have been playing.

Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from a casino for a set period (weeks, months or permanently).

We strongly recommend using these tools proactively, not just when you have a problem.

Underage Gambling

Gambling is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. Online casinos are required to verify the age of their players.

If you are a parent or guardian, please use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites. Tools such as Gamban, Net Nanny or Cybersitter can help block gambling content.
