Responsible Gaming

“Gambling is fun, but like all good things – too much can be bad for you.

Gamblers Anonymous have published a 20-part questionnaire regarding a person’s gambling habits. If you answer “Yes” in 7 of these 20 questions and think you may have a gambling problem, we suggest that you seek further help from relevant organisations.

Online gambling is a form of entertainment and players must realise it is not a long-term way to make money. If you feel that gambling has placed a burden on your life either financially or emotionally, we suggest you ask yourself the following 20 questions:

  1. Did you ever lose time from work or education due to gambling?
  2. Has gambling ever made your home life unhappy?
  3. Did gambling affect your reputation?
  4. Have you ever feel remorse after gambling?
  5. Did you ever gamble to get money with which to pay debts or otherwise solve financial difficulties?
  6. Did gambling cause a decrease in your ambition or efficiency?
  7. After a loss, did you feel you needed to return as soon as possible and win back your losses?
  8. After a win, did you have a strong urge to return and win more?
  9. Did you ever gamble until your last dollar was gone?
  10. Did you ever borrow to finance your gambling habit?
  11. Have you ever sold anything to finance gambling?
  12. Were you reluctant to use ‘gambling money’ for normal expenditures?
  13. Did gambling make you careless for the welfare of yourself or your family?
  14. Did you ever gamble longer than you had planned?
  15. Have you ever gambled to escape worry or trouble?
