Players should regularly self-assess to identify potential gaming problems, as addiction often develops unnoticed. Remember, you are never alone in facing this challenge. It’s never too late to acknowledge an addiction and begin treating it. Reflect on the following questions to evaluate your gaming behavior:
- Are you spending more on gambling than you can comfortably afford?
- Have you struggled to reduce or stop gambling despite wanting to?
- Do you feel uneasy, stressed, or irritable when you’re not gambling?
- Have you borrowed money or sold items to continue funding your gaming activities?
- Is your gambling habit interfering with your personal relationships, work, or studies?
- Have you hidden or lied about your gambling habits to your family or loved ones?
- Do you rely on gambling as a way to cope with emotional difficulties or daily stress?
- Have you neglected other interests, responsibilities, or activities because of gambling?
Answering “yes” to any of these questions may signal a potential problem. FairPlay is here to support you, offering tools and resources to help you manage your gaming habits and seek professional assistance when necessary.
