Gambling can be an enjoyable way to relax, but problem gambling can quickly spiral out of control. Problem gambling can put your financial, legal, personal, and professional futures at risk.

Symptoms of problem gambling include:

• Increasing preoccupation with gambling
• A need to bet more money more frequently
• Restlessness or irritability when trying to stop gambling
• Chasing losses
• Loss of control of the behavior despite mounting, serious, negative consequences
