Casino Sunriseinsurance is very concerned about problem gambling.
For most people, gambling is entertainment - a fun activity
that can be enjoyed without harmful effect. But for
some, it's not just a game - it's a serious problem
that continues even after the fun has gone.
Compulsive Gambling is not easily detected. The person
with a gambling problem will often go to great lengths
to cover up the problem and will appear to look all
right, regardless of the consequences of their gambling.
Warning
Signs
Some of the indicators that a person may be suffering
from a gambling problem include:
- Losing time from work or family
due to gambling.
- Repeated failed attempts to stop
or control gambling.
- Borrowing money to gamble or
pay gambling debts.
- Gambling to escape worry or trouble.
- Neglecting the care of one's
self or family in order to gamble.
- Lying about the amount of time
and money spent on gambling.
- Gambling more money in an attempt
to win back losses.
- Selling or pawning personal possessions
to get money to gamble.
- Feelings of hopelessness, depression,
or suicide as a result of gambling.
