Safer Gambling
Good Habits
- Budget for gambling the way you budget for a night out.
- Decide on a finishing time before you start.
- Take a break after a big win or a run of losses.
- Never use money meant for rent, bills or food.
Red Flags
- Thinking about gambling most of the day.
- Raising stakes to get the same excitement.
- Lying about how much time or money you spend.
- Missing work, study or family time because of play.
