KEEPING GAMBLING FUN
EXCESSIVE GAMBLING IS NOT INEVITABLE
Que ce soit au Poker ou aux Grands Jeux, chaque joueur joue à sa manière : pour se divertir, l’adrénaline ou gagner… Le jeu vous apporte des sensations uniques. Seulement voilà, parfois la passion se transforme en excès et le jeu devient plus fort que vous. Le plaisir laisse alors place à des sentiments douloureux. Mais le jeu excessif n’est pas une fatalité ! Avec le Club Pierre Charron, décryptez les signes qui ne trompent pas et faites-vous accompagner. Développer un jeu responsable, c’est notre métier !
THE SEVEN "GOLDEN RULES" OF RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING
- Gamble for fun, don't try to win money at any cost.
- Don't try to recover losses as soon you lose.
- Keep a cool head if you win big.
- Don't trust your superstitions, accept the laws of chance.
- Don't shut yourself away in gambling to forget about your problems.
- Stick to your budget and don't borrow to play.
- Know your losses and gains and don't lie about them.
THE SIGNS OF ADDICTION
There are many forms of addiction and none of them are an inevitability, provided that you're honest with yourself and are aware of your difficulties.
Detecting the warning signs of excessive gambling is already a big step:
- Gambling is increasingly occupying your thoughts.
- You gamble solely to forget about your problems.
- Your betting and general gambling expenses are continually rising.
- You play again to try to win back what you lost.
- You aren't able to play less despite your efforts to cut down.
- Your losses result in you borrowing money to continue playing.
- When you can't play, you become irritable.
- Your family and work situation is in jeopardy because of gambling.
