Self-Assessment

Recognizing early signs of problematic gambling behavior is crucial for maintaining a healthy relationship with gaming. Players can reflect on the following questions to assess their gambling habits:

Do you feel guilty or ashamed about your gambling habits?
Have you noticed that gambling has started to interfere with your personal relationships, work, or other responsibilities?
Do you often think about gambling when you are not playing?

If any of these questions resonate with you, it may indicate a need to evaluate your gambling practices and consider implementing some self-control measures.
