Whether it's Poker or Casino Games, each player plays in their own way: for fun, for the adrenaline rush or to win. Gambling delivers unique sensations. But sometimes passion becomes excess and gambling gains the upper hand, turning pleasure into pain. But excessive gambling isn't an inevitability! Club Pierre Charron helps you decipher the telltale signs and get help. Developing responsible gambling is what we do!

 

THE SEVEN "GOLDEN RULES" OF RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING

  1. Gamble for fun, don't try to win money at any cost.
  2. Don't try to recover losses as soon you lose.
  3. Keep a cool head if you win big.
  4. Don't trust your superstitions, accept the laws of chance.
  5. Don't shut yourself away in gambling to forget about your problems.
  6. Stick to your budget and don't borrow to play.
  7. Know your losses and gains and don't lie about them.

 

THE SIGNS OF ADDICTION

There are many forms of addiction and none of them are an inevitability, provided that you're honest with yourself and are aware of your difficulties.

  • Detecting the warning signs of excessive gambling is already a big step:
  • Gambling is increasingly occupying your thoughts.
  • You gamble solely to forget about your problems.
  • Your betting and general gambling expenses are continually rising.
  • You play again to try to win back what you lost.
  • You aren't able to play less despite your efforts to cut down.
  • Your losses result in you borrowing money to continue playing.
  • When you can't play, you become irritable.
  • Your family and work situation is in jeopardy because of gambling.
