Ask Yourself These Questions

If you answer "yes" to two or more of the following questions, you may be experiencing gambling-related harm and should consider reaching out for support:

• Do you spend more time or money gambling than you originally intended?
• Have you tried to stop or reduce your gambling but found it difficult to do so?
• Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut down on gambling?
• Have you lied to family or friends about how much time or money you spend gambling?
• Have you borrowed money, sold possessions, or used funds intended for bills or essential expenses to gamble?
• Do you gamble to escape problems, relieve stress, or improve your mood?
• After losing money, do you return to try to win it back (chasing losses)?
• Has gambling caused problems in your relationships, work, or daily responsibilities?
• Do you feel guilty, ashamed, or anxious about your gambling behavior?
• Have you asked others to lend you money because of gambling losses?

Common Warning Signs

In addition to the self-assessment questions above, the following behaviors may indicate a gambling problem:

• Gambling with money needed for rent, groceries, or bills
• Neglecting family, work, or social obligations to gamble
• Experiencing mood swings, depression, or increased stress related to gambling outcomes
• Hiding gambling activity from loved ones
• Feeling a constant urge to gamble, especially after a win or a loss
• Using gambling as the primary way to cope with emotional distress
• Accumulating debt from gambling that you cannot repay

Before You Start Playing

• Set a budget in PKR before you start playing and stick to it. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose — never use funds intended for bills, rent, groceries, or essential expenses.
• Set a time limit for each gaming session and use session reminders to help you stay aware of how long you have been playing.
• Never gamble when you are upset, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Emotional distress impairs judgment and increases the risk of impulsive decisions.
• Understand the games you are playing. Know the rules, odds, and RTP rates. Gambling outcomes are determined by chance — there is no strategy or system that guarantees winning.

While You Are Playing

• Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen every 60–90 minutes to maintain perspective and avoid fatigue.
• Never chase losses. If you lose money, accept the loss and walk away. Trying to win back losses by increasing bet sizes or continuing to play often leads to larger losses.
• Do not borrow money to gamble. If you have run out of your pre-set budget, stop playing. Never borrow from friends, family, or financial institutions to fund gambling activity.
• Balance gambling with other activities. Make sure gaming is just one of many leisure activities you enjoy, not your primary source of entertainment or social interaction.

After You Play

• Review your session. Use reality checks to see how much time you spent and how much you won or lost. Reflect on whether your gaming activity aligns with your budget and time limits.
• If you feel uncomfortable about your gambling behavior, seek support immediately. Contact ls888 customer support to activate responsible gaming tools or reach out to a professional support organization.
• Celebrate wins responsibly. If you win, consider withdrawing your winnings rather than continuing to play. Winning should be enjoyed, not immediately risked again.
