We believe that we have a responsibility
to you, our customers, to ensure that you enjoy your
experience at 28 Mahjong. Sometimes we find customers
who have problems controlling their gambling, and we
try to help them as much as we can. We are able to do
this because we have talked to Gamblers Anonymous, a
fellowship of men and women who share their experience,
strength and hope with each other that they may solve
their common problem and help others to recover from
a gambling problem.
STAY IN CONTROL
Although the majority of people manage
to gamble within their means, a few loose control of
the situation. Keep in control of your gambling by keeping
the following in mind:
- Online gambling should be seen as a form of entertainment
and not as a way of making money.
- Gamble only with what you can afford.
- Take note of the time and money you are spending
gambling.
- Don't chase your losses.
- Don't be afraid to admit you have a problem
HOW TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
- 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?
