⚠️ Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling should be fun, not a source of stress. Ask yourself these questions:
- Do you spend more than you can afford on gambling?
- Do you chase losses?
- Does gambling affect your work or relationships?
- Do you borrow money to gamble?
- Do you lie about your gambling habits?
If you answered "yes" to any of these, please seek help immediately.
