Warning Signs

• Spending more money or time on gambling than planned.
• Chasing losses or borrowing money to gamble.
• Hiding gambling from family or friends.
• Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression.

Tools That Help

• Time-outs and self-exclusion programs.
• Blocking software such as GamBan or BetBlocker.
