- Have you wondered whether you have a problem with gambling?
- Has your gambling caused you any health problems, including feelings of stress or anxiety?

How To Control Your Gambling
Wherever you place your bets should also be committed to responsible gambling. Check with your bookmaker or sportsbook to see if they have features that will help manage your betting. For example
- Set limits on your gambling activity such as the time you spend gambling, the amount you can deposit, or turn over.
- Self-exclude yourself from gambling indefinitely or for a period of time
- Block yourself from gambling by using gambling blocking software such as those listed here at GamCare. These include Gamblock, Betfilter, BetBlocker and Netnanny
- Monitor the amount of time you are spending gambling
- Monitor your profit and losses via your account reporting
