How to recognise warning signs in yourself or someone close.
Warning signs: stakes rising to win back losses; play occupying your thoughts constantly; hiding it from those close to you; borrowing money to bet; play harming work, sleep and relationships; failed attempts to stop. If you recognise several of these, it is a reason to pause and seek support. Problem gambling is a treatable condition, and reaching out for help is normal.
