Problem gambling

Know the signs

Issues with gambling affect people from all walks of life and isn’t a reflection of intelligence, strength, will power or integrity.

If you or a loved one is experiencing gambling related issues, there are free and confidential self-help resources, counselling and professional support services available.

Ask yourself;

  • Do you gamble more than 5% of your income?
  • Do you gamble regularly, more than once a week?
  • Do you gamble alone?
  • Do you consider gambling as a way to earn money?

If the answer to any of the above questions is yes, you may be at risk of developing issues with gambling.
