For many people visiting a casino is a fun and enjoyable form of entertainment and one of the things that makes the experience exciting is the element of risk and the chance to win or lose money. With any risk-taking activity, it is important to ensure that you do not lose control and for a small minority, gambling can become a problem. The temptation to keep trying your luck or re-experience an early win may become irresistible. It's when you lose control of your gambling that it ceases to be an enjoyable social experience.

With Responsible Gambling Week running from 7th November to 13th November we think this is a good time to talk about safer gambling. 

If each time you win you find that you spend your winnings on more gambling, and if you lose you desperately continue hoping that a 'big win' is just around the corner, you may need to take stock of your gaming. If gambling has taken over your life and dominates your thoughts, if you cannot stop until you have run out of money or if you have lost relationships, friends, possessions or jobs as a result of your gambling then visit the responsible gambling website.
