Recognising Behavioural Warning Signs
It is important to recognise the early signs of gaming behaviour that may be cause for concern. Early awareness allows you to take the right steps before things become more serious. Here are some signs to watch out for:
- Spending more time or money than planned in a single gaming session.
- Playing to escape stress, anxiety, or other negative feelings.
- Feeling uncomfortable or restless when unable to play for a period of time.
- Hiding gaming activity from family members or friends.
- Trying to recover losses by continuing to play beyond your self-imposed limits.
- Neglecting daily responsibilities, work, or social relationships due to excessive gaming.
- Borrowing money or using funds set aside for essential needs in order to play.
If you recognise one or more of these signs in yourself, we encourage you to take a break and make use of the self-control tools available on the score88 platform.
