Risk Awareness

  • Preoccupation with gambling, including persistent thoughts about past gambling or planning future gaming sessions outside of play.
  • Neglecting responsibilities, such as family, work, or study obligations, due to gambling activities.
  • Borrowing money or selling personal items to fund further gaming activity.
  • Irritability or restlessness when attempting to reduce or cease gambling, or concealing gaming behaviour from others.

Self-Assessment: Gambling Behaviour Check

Answer the following statements to reflect on your gaming habits:

  • Do you gamble for longer than intended or spend more money than you can afford?
  • Have you attempted to cut down or stop gambling without success?
  • Has gambling caused problems with family, work, or personal relationships?
  • Do you feel the need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve excitement?
  • Do you use gambling as a means to escape from stress or problems?
  • Have you lied to others about the extent of your gambling?
