Responsible game playing

Gambling is addictive. If you can't control yourself and gambling is no longer fun for you, this information can help you.

We all take risks and gambling is a particular style of risk taking that is exciting and fun. For most people who love to play in the casino, gambling is entertainment.

The temptation to try your luck or get a quick win can be overwhelming. It may happen that each win will be accompanied by new bets, and in the event of a loss, the person will desperately continue to play, hoping that the "big win" is not far off. The longer this goes on, the more the person is drawn into the game.

Ask yourself the following questions:

• Have you jeopardized an important or significant relationship, education, job or career because of gambling?
• Do you try to recoup after a loss by continuing the game, or quickly return to the game after a series of losses?
• When you win, do you have a strong desire to come back and win even more?
• Have you ever had to lie, steal or borrow money in order to have funds for gambling?
• You do not want to spend the money planned for the game on anything else?
• Have you ever gambled longer than you planned?
• Have you ever used gambling to relieve anxiety, anxiety, frustration or depression?
• Do you experience depression or suicidal feelings due to gambling?
• Is gambling the cause of your debts?
• Have you ever sold your own or your family's property in order to get money for gambling or to pay off gambling debts?
• The more positive answers you give to these questions, the more likely you are to have a serious problem with gambling.
