Recognizing Problem Gambling

Problem gambling, also known as gambling disorder or compulsive gambling, is the uncontrollable urge to continue gambling despite the negative impact it has on your life. It's not about how much money you lose or how often you gamble—it's about whether gambling causes problems in your relationships, finances, work, or mental health. At 77jll, we want our players to recognize the warning signs early and seek help before issues become severe.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you or someone you know exhibits any of these behaviors, it may indicate a gambling problem:

• Spending more time or money gambling than you can afford — chasing losses by betting more to try to win back money.
• Lying to family or friends about your gambling activities — hiding the extent of your gambling or borrowing money without disclosing the reason.
• Gambling to escape problems or relieve negative emotions — using gambling as a way to deal with stress, anxiety, depression, or loneliness.
• Neglecting responsibilities — missing work, school, or important commitments because of gambling.
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to stop — experiencing withdrawal-like symptoms when you're not gambling.
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling — taking out loans, maxing out credit cards, or pawning valuables.
• Jeopardizing relationships or employment — losing a job, damaging family relationships, or putting education at risk because of gambling.
• Constantly thinking about gambling — preoccupation with planning the next session, reliving past wins, or strategizing bets.

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not a Solution

Healthy gambling is a form of entertainment with a clear budget and time limit. You should never gamble with money you can't afford to lose, use gambling as a source of income, or continue playing in the hope of recovering losses. If you find yourself breaking these rules, it's time to take a break and reassess your relationship with gambling.

Tips for Responsible Gaming

Here are practical tips to help you maintain a healthy relationship with online gaming:

• Set a budget before you play — Decide how much you can afford to lose and stick to that amount. Never use money meant for bills, rent, or savings.
• Set a time limit — Decide in advance how long you'll play and use session reminders to keep track of time.
• Never chase losses — Accept losses as part of the game. Trying to win back lost money usually leads to bigger losses.
• Take regular breaks — Step away from the screen every hour to clear your mind and maintain perspective.
• Don't gamble when upset or stressed — Avoid using gambling as a coping mechanism for negative emotions or life problems.
• Balance gambling with other activities — Make sure gaming doesn't interfere with work, family time, hobbies, or social life.
• Avoid alcohol or drugs while gambling — Substances impair judgment and can lead to reckless betting decisions.
• Keep track of your activity — Regularly review your account history to understand how much you're spending and how often you're playing.

• Parental control software: Programs like Net Nanny, Qustodio, or Norton Family can block access to gambling websites.
• Internet Service Provider (ISP) filters: Many ISPs offer parental controls that restrict access to adult content, including gambling sites.
• Device-level restrictions: Use built-in parental controls on smartphones, tablets, and computers to limit access to gambling apps and websites.
