Is Setting a Gambling Restriction the Right Step for Me?

If you're unsure whether you should take a break from gambling, it may help to reflect on your gambling habits. The following self-assessment questions are designed to guide you in evaluating your behavior.

Self-Assessment: Questions to Ask Yourself

Consider answering the following questions honestly:

• Do you often gamble for longer than you originally planned?

• Have you ever gambled during working hours or when you were supposed to be doing something else?

• Do you feel an urgent need to win back money immediately after losing?

• Have you ever borrowed money or sold personal belongings in order to gamble?

• Has gambling ever negatively affected your job, education, or personal relationships?

• Have you ever continued gambling until you completely ran out of money?

• After a win, do you continue gambling in hopes of winning even more?

• Do you currently have gambling-related debts?

• Have you ever gambled with the intention of winning money to pay off debts?

• Has gambling contributed to health problems such as depression, stress, or anxiety?

What Should I Do If I Answered “Yes”?

If you answered "yes" to at least one of the questions above, it may be a sign that gambling is becoming harmful to your well-being.

We recommend the following steps:
