Ansvarligt spil
Gambling bør være en fornøjelig form for underholdning, ikke en måde at tjene penge på. Hvis spillet holder op med at være sjovt, er det tid til at stoppe.
Tegn på ludomani
- Bruger flere penge eller mere tid på spil, end du har råd til
- Besvær med at kontrollere eller stoppe spillet
- Forsømmer arbejde, skole eller familieforpligtelser
- Låner penge eller sælger ejendele for at spille
- Føler angst, irritation eller depression i forbindelse med spil
- Jager tab — øger indsatsen for at vinde det tabte tilbage
Tips til sikkert spil
- Læg et budget, før du starter, og hold dig til det
- Sæt tidsgrænser for dine spilsessioner
- Spil aldrig for penge, du ikke har råd til at tabe
- Jag ikke tab — accepter dem som en del af spillet
- Hold regelmæssige pauser og spil ikke, når du er ked af det eller stresset
- Balancer spil med andre hobbyer og aktiviteter
Selvudelukkelse & grænser
De fleste licenserede casinoer tilbyder værktøjer til at hjælpe dig med at kontrollere dit spil:
- Indbetalingsgrænser — Sæt daglige, ugentlige eller månedlige lofter
- Tabsgrænser — Automatisk stop, når tab når en vis tærskel
- Tidsgrænser — Påmindelser eller tvungne pauser efter faste perioder
- Selvudelukkelse — Bloker din konto midlertidigt eller permanent
- Reality checks — Regelmæssige pop-ups, der viser tid og penge brugt
Problem Gambling: The Numbers
According to the National Council on Problem Gambling, approximately 2-3% of adults meet criteria for problem gambling, and another 4-6% are considered at-risk gamblers. The GambleAware reports that in the UK alone, an estimated 0.5% of the adult population (around 300,000 people) are problem gamblers, with another 2.1 million at risk.
Young adults aged 18-24 are particularly vulnerable. Research from the International Center for Responsible Gaming shows that problem gambling rates among this age group are 2-3 times higher than in the general adult population.
Self-Assessment: Are You at Risk?
Answer these questions honestly. If you answer 'yes' to two or more, consider seeking support from one of the organizations listed below.
- Have you ever bet more than you could afford to lose?
- Have you needed to gamble with increasing amounts of money to get the same feeling?
- Have you tried to cut back or stop gambling but found it difficult?
- Do you feel restless or irritable when trying to reduce gambling?
- Have you lied to family members or others to hide the extent of your gambling?

How to Help Someone with a Gambling Problem
If you suspect a friend or family member has a gambling problem, here's how you can help:
- Start a non-judgmental conversation. Express concern about specific behaviors, not the person.
- Learn about problem gambling so you can understand what they're going through. Resources like Gambling Therapy offer specific guidance for friends and family.
- Don't lend money, cover debts, or make excuses for gambling behavior — this enables the problem.
- Encourage professional help. Offer to help them contact a helpline or attend their first counselling session.
- Take care of yourself. Supporting someone with addiction is stressful. Consider joining a support group for affected family members.
Mindreåriges spil
Gambling er ulovligt for alle under 18 år. Vi er stærkt imod mindreåriges spil og målretter os ikke mod mindreårige på nogen måde. Alle casinoer på denne side kræver aldersverificering.
