We see online gambling as a legitimate form of entertainment that is enjoyed by millions of players worldwide, but there is a risk that players can exceed the level of comfortable play and incur losses which may affect their lives and the lives of those around them. There are a number of steps which can be taken to limit any harmful effects of online gambling.
Limiting Access by Minors
Most respectable operators fully enforce age restrictions. Certainly if you are under 18 you must not play.
Here are some easy steps to help you prevent minors from logging on and gambling without your knowledge:
·Use child protection software to block gaming sites from under 18's
·Do not leave the computer unattended when you are logged on to the software
·Do not share your credit card or bank account details with minors
·Do not leave the "Save Password" option enabled on software login screen
·Create separate profiles for your children on computers so that when they log in they cannot access your information
Controlling Compulsive Gambling
Compulsive gambling benefits no one. While the majority of people do gamble within their means, for some it can spiral out of control. In order to help you keep control, we would like you to remember the following:
·Gambling should be seen as entertainment and not as a genuine way of making money
·Avoid chasing losses
·Only gamble what you can afford to lose
·Keep track of the time and amount of money you spend gambling
GamCare is the national association dedicated to addressing the social impact of gambling.
Online gambling is another form of entertainment and it is essential for players to understand that. If gambling has placed a burden on your life either financially or emotionally, we suggest you ask yourself the following 20 questions:
·Did you ever lose time from work or education due to gambling?
·Has gambling ever made your home life unhappy?
·Did gambling affect your reputation?
·Have you ever felt remorse after gambling?
·Did you ever gamble to get money with which to pay debts or otherwise solve financial difficulties?
·Did gambling cause a decrease in your ambition or efficiency?
·After a loss, did you feel you needed to return as soon as possible and win back your losses?
·After a win, did you have a strong urge to return and win more?
·Did you ever gamble until your last dollar was gone?
·Did you ever borrow to finance your gambling?
·Have you ever sold anything to finance gambling?
·Were you reluctant to use 'gambling money' for normal expenditures?
·Did gambling make you careless of the welfare of yourself or your family?
·Did you ever gamble longer than you had planned?
·Have you ever gambled to escape worry or trouble?
·Have you ever committed, or considered committing, an illegal act to finance gambling?
·Did gambling cause you to have difficulty in sleeping?
·Do arguments, disappointments or frustrations create within you an urge to gamble?
·Did you ever have an urge to celebrate any good fortune with a few hours of gambling?
·Have you ever considered self-destruction or suicide as a result of your gambling?
Most compulsive gamblers will answer yes to at least seven of these questions. If you would like to seek professional advice, please visit one of the following sites:
