“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” 在 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:
