Taking Control of Your Gambling

For most people, gambling starts with a bit of fun, a chance to socialise or to take time out. But gambling has a way of bolting from your control – and quickly. A few wins, a few losses, the need for extra cash, the urge to chase a loss… before long, things can feel out of hand.

Gambling takes many forms and app-based gambling means the sky’s the limit when it comes to finding something to bet on.

Gambling-related problems arise when it starts to negatively impact your life. It could be losing more money than you can afford, prioritising gambling over other commitments, arguing with your partner , feeling stressed, worried or depressed.
