    • Feeling irritable or anxious when trying to stop

Self-Assessment Test

Ask yourself the following:

  2. Do you find it difficult to stop gambling once you start?
  3. Have you lied to those close to you about your gambling?
  4. Do you use gambling as a way to escape personal problems or stress?
  5. Have you tried unsuccessfully to reduce or control your gambling?

If you answer "yes" to one or more of these, consider seeking support or utilizing the responsible gaming tools offered by maple-casino on maple-ca.com.
