Responsible Gambling

Gambling should be entertaining, not a source of financial stress. If gambling is no longer fun, it is time to stop.

Warning Signs

• Spending more than you can afford to lose
• Chasing losses with bigger bets
• Borrowing money to gamble
• Neglecting responsibilities due to gambling
• Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
