What is Safer Gambling?
Gambling is a popular form of entertainment that can be a lot of fun, and most people who gamble do so safely. However, for some, gambling can be harmful not only to themselves but also to their families, friends, and communities. To protect gamblers from the risks associated with betting, the UK government passed the Safer Gambling legislation.
Important Risk Warning
Gambling involves significant financial risk and can lead to addiction. You should never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose or borrow money to gamble. Gambling addiction can negatively impact your mental health, personal relationships, and financial situation.

Self-Assessment Questions
Consider asking yourself these questions about your gambling habits:
- Do you gamble to escape problems or relieve feelings of helplessness, guilt, anxiety, or depression?
- Have you lost interest in other activities because of gambling?
- Have you lied to family members or others to hide your gambling?
- Have you made unsuccessful attempts to control, cut back, or stop gambling?
- Do you need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the desired excitement?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, it might be a good idea to speak with a professional.
