Certain groups may be more susceptible to gambling-related harm and require additional safeguards.
Gambling is restricted to adults (18+ in most countries). We advocate for strict age verification processes and support initiatives to prevent minors from accessing gambling sites.
Individuals with certain mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or substance use disorders may be at higher risk for developing gambling problems.
Those who have previously experienced gambling problems may be vulnerable to relapse and should take extra precautions when engaging with gambling content.
Understanding the truth about gambling can help you make more informed decisions.
Many gamblers believe that a losing streak will eventually reverse if they just keep playing.
This is known as the "gamblers fallacy." Each gambling event is independent of previous outcomes. Past results do not influence future ones in games of chance.
All casino games are designed with a "house edge" that ensures the operator makes money over time.
This is why the saying "the house always wins" is accurate in the long run. Games are mathematically designed to pay out less than they take in.
Some gamblers believe theyve discovered foolproof betting systems that can beat the odds.
No betting system can overcome the mathematical advantage built into gambling games. Systems may appear to work in the short term due to random variance.
Gambling problems can develop in people of any age, gender, income level, or background.
While certain risk factors may increase susceptibility, gambling addiction doesnt discriminate and can affect individuals from all walks of life.
Many people assume that problem gambling means gambling constantly or daily.
Gambling problems are defined by the negative impact on ones life, not by frequency. Someone might gamble infrequently but still experience serious consequences.
Gambling can trigger the brains reward system similar to drugs or alcohol.
Neurological research shows gambling activates the same neural pathways as substance addiction, releasing dopamine and creating powerful reinforcement patterns.
If you're concerned about your gambling habits or those of someone close to you, don't wait to seek help.
