Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling does not always announce itself clearly. It often develops gradually, and many players rationalise early warning signs as temporary or manageable. The following indicators — recognised by leading gambling support organisations including GamCare — may suggest that gambling is moving from entertainment into something more serious.
If you recognise several of these signs in your own behaviour, or in the behaviour of someone close to you, we strongly encourage you to use Aladdin88's self-exclusion tool and reach out to the support resources listed on this page.
