Warning Signs of Gambling Problems

Gambling is a form of entertainment that involves risking something of value (such as money or possessions) on an event involving chance. It may be as simple as betting on a team to win a football match or as complex as buying scratchcards and hoping for the best. It is an activity that can have serious consequences if someone becomes addicted to it, which is why it is important for people to know the warning signs of gambling problems and seek treatment if needed.

A common warning sign is an increase in the amount of time spent gambling or a decrease in other activities. It is also possible to develop a gambling problem if someone becomes dependent on winnings or starts to gamble in order to relieve negative feelings. In some cases, this can lead to a complete loss of control whereby a person cannot stop gambling even when they are in financial trouble.

Other symptoms include lying about how much money they have spent or hiding evidence of their gambling behaviour. In extreme cases, it is possible for a person to become so involved in gambling that they commit illegal acts in order to fund their addiction such as theft, forgery or embezzlement. They may also neglect other important aspects of their lives such as relationships, work and education in order to gamble.

While the causes of gambling disorders are complex, there is a good chance that people can be helped to break the habit through various treatments. These can range from cognitive-behaviour therapy to peer support groups such as Gamblers Anonymous, which is a 12-step recovery program modelled on Alcoholics Anonymous. Medications can also be helpful in controlling the urge to gamble, especially if they are used for treating a co-occurring mood disorder such as depression or bipolar disorder.

There are a number of steps that can be taken to reduce the risk of gambling problems, including setting money and time limits for gambling, not drinking while gambling and never chasing losses. It is also advisable to only gamble with money that you can afford to lose, and not to use this money for essentials such as rent or bills. It is also important to understand that the odds of winning are very low and that you should treat any money that you do win as a bonus rather than a necessity.

It is a good idea to avoid betting on things that you do not fully understand, such as horse racing or sports, as these are more likely to lead to irrational decisions. It is also a good idea to avoid free cocktails and other incentives offered by casinos, as these are often designed to encourage excessive spending. Lastly, be sure to set realistic goals for yourself when you start gambling and stick to them. If you are worried that you or a loved one has a gambling problem, speak to our counsellors for advice and help, they are available 24/7.
