Money limit
Decide a budget you can afford to lose. Treat it like a paid activity—once it’s spent, it’s done.
Time limit
Set a time boundary. When the timer ends—stop. Breaks help you stay in control.
No chasing losses
Trying to “win it back” often escalates harm. If you feel that urge, pause and step away.
Quick self-check
If several items feel familiar, it’s a strong signal to take a break and talk to someone.
Thinking about gambling a lot
It pops up repeatedly during the day.
Spending more than planned
You break your own limits “just once”.
Chasing losses
You try to recover money with more play.
Stress, guilt, or sleep issues
Gambling affects mood or routines.
Hiding it
You avoid talking about time/money spent.
Money or relationship tension
Bills, borrowing, conflict, or pressure.
