• Thinking about gambling even when not playing
• Chasing losses or feeling unable to stop
• Neglecting work, family, or social obligations due to gambling
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund play
• Feeling irritable, anxious, or distressed when not gambling

Self-Assessment Test

Ask yourself the following questions to evaluate your gambling behavior:

1. Do you gamble longer or spend more money than intended?
2. Have you tried to cut back or stop gambling without success?
3. Do you feel restless or irritable when attempting to reduce gambling?
4. Has gambling caused problems at work, school, or in relationships?
5. Do you conceal your gambling from others?

If you answered "yes" to any of these, consider seeking support or using the tools described below.
