Responsible Gambling - JoeWager Cares
At JoeWager.com, we take the concept of
Responsible Gaming seriously. We are committed
to educating our visitors so they can differentiate between
reputable sportsbooks
and those that are nothing more than online
scams.
In addition to helping our visitors find
the safest and most enjoyable online gaming experience, we
also want to warn of the potential pitfalls associated with
“problem gambling.” Compulsive gamblers will go
to great lengths to deny or cover up their problem. Think
you might be at risk? Ask yourself these questions:
- Did you ever lose time from work or
school due to gambling?
- Has gambling ever made your home life
unhappy?
- Did gambling affect your reputation?
- Have you ever felt remorse after gambling?
- Did you ever gamble to get money with
which to pay debts or otherwise solve financial difficulties?
- Did gambling cause a decrease in your
ambition or efficiency?
- After losing did you feel you must return
as soon as possible and win back your losses?
- After a win did you have a strong urge
to return and win more?
- Did you often gamble until your last
dollar was gone?
- Did you ever borrow to finance your gambling?
- Have you ever sold anything to finance
gambling?
- Were you reluctant to use "gambling
money" for normal expenditures?
- Did gambling make you careless of the
welfare of yourself or your family?
- Did you ever gamble longer than you had
planned?
- Have you ever gambled to escape worry
or trouble?
- Have you ever committed, or considered
committing, an illegal act to finance gambling?
- Did gambling cause you to have difficulty
in sleeping?
- Do arguments, disappointments or frustrations
create within you an urge to gamble?
- Did you ever have an urge to celebrate
any good fortune by a few hours of gambling?
- Have you ever considered self destruction
or suicide as a result of your gambling?
If you or someone you know can answer YES
to seven or more of these questions, you may want to consider
seeking assistance. Remember, you are not alone. Caring, knowledgeable
men and women are available to help share their experiences,
strengths and hope so that they may solve their common problem
and help others to recover from a gambling problem.
