Responsible gambling

Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money or solve a financial problem. If it stops being enjoyable, that's a sign to stop.

Signs to look out for

• Spending more time or money than you planned to
• Chasing losses with bigger bets
• Gambling to escape stress, boredom, or other problems
• Hiding the extent of your gambling from people close to you
