It's important to recognize the warning signs of problem gaming. If you or someone you know exhibits any of these behaviors, it may be time to seek help:

Financial Warning Signs

  • Spending more money than you can afford
  • Borrowing money to participate in raffles

  • Neglecting bills or responsibilities

Behavioral Warning Signs

  • Feeling anxious when not participating
  • Lying about time or money spent
  • Chasing losses with bigger purchases

Remember:

Gaming should never interfere with your financial stability, relationships, or mental health. If you're experiencing any of these warning signs, please reach out for help immediately.
