Know the Signs of Problem Gambling

Gambling becomes a problem when it negatively affects your financial situation, relationships, work, or mental health. Common warning signs include:

  • Spending more money on gambling than you can afford to lose
  • Chasing losses — gambling more to try to win back money you've lost
  • Lying to family or friends about how much you gamble or spend
  • Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut back
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
  • Using gambling as a way to escape stress or emotional pain

If you recognise these signs in yourself or someone you care about, please seek help immediately.

Practical Tools to Stay in Control

Responsible gambling starts with setting clear boundaries before you play:

  • Set a budget: Decide how much you're comfortable losing before you start. Treat it as the cost of entertainment, not an investment.
  • Set a time limit: Decide how long you'll play and stick to it. Use your phone alarm to keep yourself honest.
  • Never chase losses: Losing streaks are a normal part of gambling. Chasing losses almost always makes things worse.
  • Take regular breaks: Step away from the screen regularly. Fatigue impairs decision-making.
  • Self-exclude: Most licensed casinos offer self-exclusion tools. Fair Go Casino provides account closure and cooling-off options through their support team.
