 NASPL Problem Gaming Frequently Asked Questions

Here are a few warning signs of problem gambling:

  • Excessive time spent gambling – this individual may skip important events or miss out on family obligations, work or school in order to spend more time gambling
  • Hiding losses – frequently talking about wins without ever mentioning losses (and hiding financial information) are warning signs
  • Escapism – individuals who gamble as a means to escape pressures at home or work, or to distract themselves from loneliness or grief, may have a gambling problem
  • Severe mood swings – often, those with gambling disorders experience a positive or negative state of mind depending on their wins or losses; these individuals may also experience anxiousness or anger when they're not gambling
  • Snowballing bets – individuals with gambling disorders tend to increase the size of their bets as a way of chasing their losses
  • Failed attempts to stop – many compulsive gamblers make earnest attempts to stop gambling, but are unable to do so without help
