Self-assessment checklist

If you tick several items, it may be time to pause and speak to support.

I find it hard to stop once I start. I gamble for longer than I planned. I spend more than I intended.

Gambling is affecting my mood or sleep. It’s affecting relationships or work. I feel stressed about money after gambling.

This checklist is informational only. If you’re worried, contact specialist support.

Practical options you can use to reduce risk.

Deposit limits

Set a maximum spend amount. Review it regularly and keep essential budgets separate.

Time-outs and breaks

Use time-outs if you’re feeling stressed or impulsive. Taking breaks can reset decision-making.

Reality checks

Session reminders can help you keep track of time and spend.

Self-exclusion

If you need a stronger boundary, consider self-exclusion options such as GAMSTOP.
