Recognise the signals

What starts as playing for fun can turn into unhealthy gaming behaviour. The risk of a gaming addiction then increases.

These signals are a sign of unhealthy gaming behaviour:

• You are no longer playing for the fun of it.

• You go to the casino more often than you intended. You also go to the casino when you should actually be doing something else.

• You think about gaming more and more often. And you can’t relax until you start playing again.

• You play for a very long time without stopping. You struggle to quit and lose track of time.

• You think you have cracked the system. As a result, you forget you’re dealing with games of chance, and that wins come at random.

• You lose control of your gaming. You start making excuses or lying about your gaming behaviour.

• You start having problems with the people around you. You no longer meet up with friends. And you get angry when people say something about your gaming behaviour.

• You play with money you can’t afford to lose. As a result, you get into trouble with money.

• You are in debt or going to borrow money to play. You want to make up for your losses by playing more.

• You want to quit gaming, but you can’t. You feel guilty or ashamed. You feel down.
