Signs to take seriously

Spending more than planned, borrowing, missing commitments, hiding activity or feeling unable to stop can signal harm.

You do not need to wait until a crisis to take a break or ask for help.

Close the game, use exclusion or limit tools if available, protect household money and contact a trusted person or qualified local service.
