Responsible Gaming Practices

Set a Budget

Setting a budget for your gaming activities can help you avoid overspending. Determine how much money you can afford to lose and stick to that amount. Never gamble with money that is needed for essential expenses.

Take Breaks

Regular breaks can help you maintain control over your gaming activities. Set a timer or use our time limit tools to remind yourself to take breaks and engage in other activities.

Keep Perspective

Remember that gambling is a form of entertainment, not a way to make money. The odds are always in favor of the house, so treat any losses as part of the cost of entertainment.

Avoid Chasing Losses

Trying to win back lost money can lead to even more significant losses. Accept that losses are a part of gambling and resist the urge to chase them. Set limits and walk away when you reach them.

Educating Players

Recognizing the Signs

Family and friends play a crucial role in supporting individuals struggling with problem gambling. Recognizing the signs and offering support can make a significant difference. Look for changes in behavior, financial difficulties, and increased secrecy about gaming activities.

Offering Support

If you’re concerned about a loved one’s gambling habits, approach the topic with care and understanding. Please encourage them to seek help and provide information about the resources available. Your support can be a powerful motivator for them to take the necessary steps toward recovery.
