There are a lot of things one has to consider when you are into Gambling. Some people are unaware of the probelm as well and some people are delusional. The first part would be getting aware of the situation.
Being aware means you have to understand the first signs of problems with gambling. Here is an interesting questionnaire one can take, taken from nhs.uk :
Are you a problem gambler?
Try this questionnaire:
Do you bet more than you can afford to lose?
Do you need to gamble with larger amounts of money to get the same feeling?
Have you tried to win back money you have lost (chasing losses)?
Have you borrowed money or sold anything to get money to gamble?
Have you wondered whether you have a problem with gambling?
Has your gambling caused you any health problems, including feelings of stress or anxiety?
Have other people criticised your betting or told you that you had a gambling problem (regardless of whether or not you thought it was true)?
Has your gambling caused any financial problems for you or your household?
Have you ever felt guilty about the way you gamble or what happens when you gamble?
Score 0 for each time you answer "never"
Score 1 for each time you answer "sometimes"
Score 2 for each time you answer "most of the time"
Score 3 for each time you answer "almost always"
If your total score is 8 or higher, you may be a problem gambler.

We have an option to directly get redirected on the website for example gamcare etc, you will also have an option to talk with national landlines as well.
This is an important issue one have to address and be responsible for their own actions as well. Awareness and responsibility are the two important things that a Gambler should always have.
