What is problem gambling?
Also known as pathological gambling (or ludomania), gambling addiction is considered a diagnosable and treatable disorder. While problem gambling has its own set of criteria for diagnosis and treatment, many still don't seek help for this potentially life-destroying condition. Are you at Risk? For free, confidential help 24/7 call the Ohio Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-589-9966. Are you playing responsibly?
Have you borrowed money to gamble?
Do you spend a lot of time thinking about gambling? Are you restless and irritable when not gambling? Are you making larger dollar bets to increase excitement? Have you lied about how much time or money you have spent or lost while gambling? Do you gamble to escape uncomfortable or personal problems? Have you neglected important responsibilities, such as work, school or family to gamble? Do you have unpaid bills or increased debt because of gambling? |
