Signs worth taking seriously
- Betting more than you planned, repeatedly
- Chasing losses to get back to even
- Borrowing, hiding statements, or lying about it
- Gambling to escape stress rather than for fun
- Trying to stop and not managing it
Two or more of these, persisting for weeks, is the informal threshold clinicians take seriously. You do not need to hit bottom to make a call. Earlier is easier.

A note from this site
We publish comparisons of gambling operators, and we are paid by that industry. That makes this page a conflict of interest by design, and we resolve it the only honest way: no commercial links here, helpline numbers first, and guides on spotting addiction, stopping and self-exclusion written to the same standard as everything else we do. Gambling should cost money you decided to spend on entertainment. The moment it costs anything else, the helplines above are the best bet on this entire site.
