Stay in control
- Only bet money you can afford to lose. Never borrow money to gamble.
- Set a budget and a time limit before you start, and stick to them.
- Never chase your losses.
- Do not gamble when you are stressed, upset or under the influence of alcohol.
- Treat betting as paid entertainment, never as a way to make money or solve money problems.
- Take regular breaks and balance gambling with other activities.
Warning signs
It may be time to stop and get help if you:
- spend more money or time on gambling than you planned;
- feel you need to bet more to get the same excitement;
- hide your gambling from family or friends, or lie about it;
- borrow money, sell things or miss bills because of gambling;
- feel anxious, irritable or low when you try to cut down.
