Understanding Problem Gambling

Problem gambling isn’t about willpower or character. It’s a behavioral health issue that can affect anyone—often intensified by stress, financial pressure, trauma, or lack of access to culturally relevant information.

Common signs include:

  • Gambling more often or with more money than intended

  • Hiding gambling behavior from family or friends

  • Financial stress, debt, or borrowing to gamble

  • Anxiety, depression, or irritability linked to gambling

  • Difficulty stopping, even when you want to

If any of these sound familiar, support is available. Please click the button below for helpful resources.
