Changing your relationship with gambling

What to do if you’re worried about how much you gamble

When gambling starts to become an addiction, it can affect every area of your life.

Helping you understand how gambling can affect your personal and financial wellbeing and what resources are available.

If you’ve noticed that you are spending more money on gambling, or it’s having an impact on your health and relationships with friends, family, or colleagues there are various support routes available. Considering how harmful gambling can be for your life is an important step in preventing further consequences of the addiction.

Do you recognise any of the below behaviours?

  • Skipping work, social and family events.
  • Increased time and money spent on gambling.
  • Feeling like you are losing control over gambling.
  • Lying to family or friends about gambling.
  • Finding it challenging to stop thinking about gambling.

Gambling addiction is a complex problem and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. However, there’s evidence that gambling can be successfully treated like any other addiction.
