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.
