Gambling
Chasing losses: when one bad bet asks for another
After a loss, the next bet can feel like repair rather than entertainment.
A loss does not create a debt the next bet must repay
The previous result does not make the next wager more likely to rescue you.
Create friction immediately
Log out, move money, use gambling blocks or bank controls and choose a no-gambling interval.
Treat financial harm as real
If gambling affects bills, debt, relationships or mental health, specialist support is appropriate.
Use the tool: choose a realistic next interval, return and answer honestly. A NO does not erase previous choices. The timer is not a substitute for medical treatment.
