Warning signs of problem gaming

Created by RCK Techiees, Modified on Mon, 19 Oct at 7:01 AM by RCK Techiees

It's worth checking in with yourself from time to time. Common warning signs include:

  • Spending more time or money than you intended

  • Chasing losses, or trying to win back what you've spent

  • Neglecting responsibilities, relationships, or self-care because of gaming

  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not playing

  • Being less than honest with others about how much you play or spend

A quick self-check:

  • Have I ever spent more on gaming than I could afford?

  • Has gaming caused problems in my relationships?

  • Have I felt guilty or ashamed about my gaming habits?

If you answered yes to any of these, consider using our responsible gaming tools - and know that reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness.
