WHAT ABOUT WHEN IT'S JUST
NOT FUN ANYMORE?
Is gambling hurting your life?
Do you need a break?
Voluntarily excluding yourself from the casino can help.
So can talking to someone who will listen.
By taking decisive steps you can start to regain control.
While most people treat gambling as entertainment and effectively manage the time and money they spend, some struggle to control their behavior, and as a result, experience harm.
Disordered gambling, commonly referred to as problem or compulsive gambling, is defined by the American Psychiatric Association as a behavioral addiction. It affects between one and three per cent of the adult population, and the consequences are serious.
PlayersEdge is a comprehensive program for all players, helping them learn how to prevent problems by promoting healthy play habits and explaining risks. We also assist and motivate guests to recognize signs of a problem, maintain control of their behavior, and take action should they gamble too much.
Sportsbooks and casinos want:
- Healthy customers who can return over the long-term
- Players to make informed choices about their gambling
- Those who need help to access professional services
