Recognizing Problem Gambling

Signs that gambling may have become problematic:

  • Spending more time or money than you intended
  • Chasing losses - playing more to recover what you have lost
  • Feeling restless or irritable when trying to stop
  • Lying about how much you gamble
  • Borrowing money to fund gambling
  • Neglecting responsibilities because of gambling
  • Using gambling to escape problems or emotions

If you recognize three or more of these patterns, speak with a counselor. Call 1-800-GAMBLER for confidential support.

Tools for Managing Your Gambling

  • Deposit limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps in your casino account settings before you play.
  • Session timers: Set alerts that notify you after a specific period of play.
  • Self-exclusion: Most offshore casinos offer account-level self-exclusion for 24 hours to permanent. This only applies to that specific casino.
  • Blocking software: Gamban and BetBlocker block gambling sites across all your devices.

The Math of Gambling

Every casino game has a house edge. Over time, the expected value for the player is negative. Our data confirms this:

  • Slots: 95.8-96.4% RTP means the house keeps 3.6-4.2 cents of every dollar wagered, on average.
  • Blackjack: 99.4-99.6% RTP with optimal strategy. Best odds, but still negative EV over time.
  • Roulette: 97.3% RTP (European single-zero). The house keeps 2.7 cents per dollar.

Treat gambling as entertainment with a cost, not as an income strategy. Set a budget. When it is gone, stop.
