Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling can become problematic when it stops being entertainment. Common warning signs include:
- Betting more money than you can afford to lose
- Chasing losses — placing more bets to win back money already lost
- Gambling interfering with work, relationships, or daily responsibilities
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Feeling restless or irritable when attempting to reduce or stop gambling
- Lying to friends or family about how much time or money you spend gambling
- Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop despite wanting to
If any of these apply to you or someone you know, please reach out to a helpline above.
Safe Gambling Practices
If you choose to bet on sports, consider these practices to keep gambling safe:
- Set a strict budget before placing any bet and stick to it regardless of outcome
- Treat gambling losses as the cost of entertainment, not as money to be recovered
- Never bet money earmarked for rent, bills, food, or other necessities
- Never borrow money to gamble
- Set time limits for gambling sessions and take regular breaks
- Avoid gambling when emotionally distressed, tired, or under the influence
- Do not use analytics tools, including PropEdge, as guarantees of outcomes
Self-Exclusion Programs
Most licensed sportsbooks offer self-exclusion programs that allow you to voluntarily ban yourself from their platform for a set period or permanently. These programs are free, easy to initiate, and legally enforceable in many jurisdictions.
Contact the customer support team of any sportsbook you use and ask about their self-exclusion or responsible gaming tools. Many also offer deposit limits, loss limits, and cool-off periods that can be set up without full exclusion.
State-level self-exclusion registries are also available in many US states with legal sports betting. These registries can cover multiple operators simultaneously.
