Problem gambling is on the rise! It is no longer confined to the brick-and-mortar casinos but rather is readily available through apps on our phones, lottery kiosks at the grocery store, and skill machines at restaurants and gas stations.

Here are a few of the warning signs to look out for that you or someone you love may be struggling with problem gambling.

• Changes in personality or behavior such as inconsistencies at work/school or being impatient/ignoring family and friends.

• Changes in spending habits or unexplained debts, cash, and/or new possessions

• Unusual interest in teams or athletes and use of gambling language (ie betting, point spread)
