Gambling has grown across the world and you can bet on almost anything, anywhere and at any time. It can be used for excitement when following racing or watching your + sporting events.

However, it is often abused as people begin to chase their losses, which can lead to a serious problem. At Unstoppable Insider we condone responsible gambling which can be broken down into two different aspects - the individual gambler and a problem for the wider community.

Responsibly gambling individuals may gamble for their own entertainment, but are aware of the consequences and possibility of losing. They are in control of their gambling, it isn’t a priority in their life and it doesn’t cause them problems or harm. When these changes, however, a gambling problem may arise.

Responsible gambling for the wider community refers to the gambling providers, governments and sporting associations. They are required to generate awareness of the risks and dangers that can evolve when taking part in gambling. It is their responsibility to create environments that minimize problem gambling and listen to the community’s concerns surrounding gambling.

If you find yourself in a situation where gambling is becoming a problem for you and it is affecting your everyday life, the UK Gambling Commission will help you and we have provided you with a link to their website here.
