Responsible Gaming
A roll of the dice. A pull of the handle. The flip of a card. The bounce of a ball. In the exciting and fast-paced world of gaming, these simple acts can mean the difference between winning and losing. But when your bank account, your mortgage or your life rides on the outcome, your gambling has gotten out of hand.
Do you have a problem with gambling? Look at the following list. If you, or someone you know, meet at least five of these ten criteria established by the American Psychiatric Association then a gambling addiction may be indicated.
- Loss of control
- Building a tolerance for gambling
- Withdrawal symptoms
- Increasing preoccupation with gambling
- Gambling to escape problems
- Chasing one's losses in an effort to get even
- Lying about one's gambling
- Jeopardizing family, education, job or career
- Incurring serious financial difficulties that require a bailout
- Performing illegal activities to finance gambling or pay gambling debts
