Recognize reasons to pause
Warning signs include chasing losses, playing longer than planned, using money needed for essentials or hiding gambling from people close to you. You do not need to reach a specific loss before asking for support.
Separate gambling from essential spending
Decide limits in advance and do not raise them to recover a loss. Avoid borrowed money. If games, demos or advertising increase the urge to gamble, taking distance from them can help protect a decision to stop.
