Have you jeopardized an important relationship, educational opportunity, or career because of gambling?

Over time, Problem Gambling can strain relationships with family and friends, impact job performance, interfere with school responsibilities, and create challenges that extend into many areas of life.

When gambling begins to come between you and the people, goals, or opportunities that matter most, it may be time to take a closer look.

Recognizing the warning signs is the first step toward change. Support is available.

Have you ever lied to family, friends, or loved ones about your gambling?

Keeping gambling a secret, minimizing losses, or hiding how much time or money is spent gambling can be a warning sign that gambling is becoming a problem. When people feel the need to conceal their gambling behavior, it can create stress, damage trust, and make it harder to reach out for help.

If gambling is impacting your relationships or wellbeing, support is available.

Your team doesn't need your bet to win your support.

Cheering is mandatory. Betting is optional.

The excitement of the game comes from the competition, the camaraderie, and the unforgettable moments, not from having money on the line. Whether you're watching from the stands, your living room, or your favorite sports bar, you can enjoy every play without placing a wager.

If sports betting is no longer feeling like fun, support is available.

Did you know that urges behave like waves? They rise, peak, and fall. The key is remembering that you don't have to act on every urge you experience. This mindfulness technique, known as urge surfing, encourages you to acknowledge the craving without giving in to it.

The next time you feel the urge to gamble, pause. Take a few deep breaths. Observe the feeling without judgment. You may find that the urge passes on its own.

Do you find yourself trying to win back money you've lost gambling?

This is often called "chasing losses," and it's one of the most common warning signs of problem gambling. After a loss, it can be tempting to keep gambling in hopes of breaking even, but chasing losses often leads to even greater financial and emotional stress.

Remember: losses are a part of gambling, and trying to recover them through more gambling can create a difficult cycle to break.

Recognizing the signs early is an important step toward protecting your wellbeing.

Do you ever gamble to escape stress, anxiety, loneliness, or other difficult emotions?

While gambling may seem like a temporary distraction, using it as a way to cope with life's challenges can sometimes lead to bigger problems over time. When gambling becomes a way to avoid feelings rather than address them, it may be a sign that additional support could help.

Healthy coping strategies and support systems can make a difference.

If gambling is affecting your emotional wellbeing, help is available.
