We support the work of Gamcare, the national association for gambling care, educational resources and training to ensure that gambling remains a positive experience for all our customers. If you feel you may have a problem with your gambling, ask yourself the following questions:
Do you stay away from work or college to gamble? Do you gamble to escape from a boring or unhappy life? When gambling and you run out of money, do you feel lost and in despair, and need to gamble again as soon as possible? Do you gamble until your last penny is gone, even the bus fare home or the cost of a cup of tea? Have you ever lied to cover up the amount of money or time you have gambled? Have others ever criticised your gambling? Have you lied, stolen or borrowed just to get money to gamble or pay gambling debts? Are you reluctant to spend 'gambling money' on anything else? Have you lost interest in your family, friends or interests? After losing, do you feel you must try and win back your losses as soon as possible? Do arguments, frustrations or disappointments make you want to gamble? Do you feel depressed or even suicidal because of your gambling?
The more you answer 'yes' to these questions, the more likely you are to have a serious gambling problem.
