Making Better Choices Regarding Gambling Activities

Preventing Compulsive Gambling Addiction

Two Questions To Ask Yourself:

Have you ever lied about how much you gamble?

Have you ever felt the need to bet more and more money?

Answering "Yes" to either question could indicate that you have some issues with problem gambling and suggest that you might want more information or assistance. Please call or e-mail TCCASA here, call the 24 hour Helpline or contact one of the other resources listed under "More Help".
