Risk Awareness

OBSERVE: Gambling can present risks if not approached responsibly. Recognizing early signs of problematic gambling behavior is essential for player protection and regulatory compliance under Ontario and Canadian law.

EXPAND: Key indicators of potential gambling addiction may include:

• Frequent or escalating betting beyond initial intentions
• Preoccupation with gambling activities outside of play sessions
• Neglect of work, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
• Chasing losses or gambling with borrowed funds
• Feelings of guilt, anxiety, or distress about gambling behavior

REFLECT: If you identify with any of the following statements, you may wish to assess your gambling habits:

• I often gamble more money or for longer periods than I planned.
• I have tried to cut down or stop gambling but have been unable to do so.
• Gambling is causing problems in my relationships or finances.
• I feel irritable or restless when I am not able to gamble.
• I hide my gambling activities from friends or family.

If you answer "yes" to one or more of these, consider using the support resources and tools provided on rama-ca.com.
