Safer Gaming

For most people gambling is an enjoyable form of entertainment. For some, it can become a problem. Knowing the signs can help you or someone you care about get support early.

Some signs that gambling may be becoming a problem include:

Spending more time or money gambling than you can afford.
Gambling to escape stress, boredom or other problems.
Chasing losses — trying to win back money you have lost.
Borrowing money or selling belongings to gamble.
Lying to family or friends about your gambling.
Feeling anxious, guilty or irritable about your gambling.
Neglecting work, study, family or other responsibilities because of gambling.

If any of these sound familiar, help is available. You can talk to a member of our staff or our Host Responsibility team in confidence, or contact the Gambling Helpline free on 0800 654 655.
