Warning signs of problem gambling

Gambling may be becoming a problem if you or someone you know:

  • Bets more money or more often than intended.
  • Chases losses by trying to win back what was lost.
  • Borrows money, sells things, or goes into debt to gamble.
  • Lies to family or friends about betting.
  • Feels restless or irritable when trying to cut back or stop.
  • Gambles to escape stress, anxiety, or low moods.
  • Neglects work, school, family, or responsibilities to bet.
  • Cannot stop or control the urge to gamble.

Tools we encourage

  • Set limits — decide on a budget and a time limit before you start, and stick to them.
  • Take breaks — step away regularly and never bet while stressed, tired, or under the influence.
  • Self-exclude — use the self-exclusion and deposit-limit tools offered by your sportsbook or state program.
  • Treat it as entertainment — only wager money you can comfortably afford to lose.
  • Reach out — talk to someone and use the helplines above if betting stops feeling like fun.
