Many gamble just for fun and view gambling as a form of entertainment. But we need to be aware of the risks involved and know the difference.
Gambling responsibly is when:
Are you or anyone you know:
Betting with more money than planned?
Gambling more and more to win back losses?
Missing work and family commitments to gamble?
Feeling a sense of emptiness when not gambling?
Trying to reduce gambling but unable to do so?
These are all signs of problem gambling.
