Responsible Gaming

Gambling always carries the risk of financial loss. Plan a budget and treat betting as paid entertainment. Keep play under control to protect your finances and emotional health.

• Decide a budget you can afford to lose before you start playing.
• Set deposit, loss, wagering, and session limits in your account.
• Turn on reality check reminders to monitor time spent.
• Schedule regular breaks or take short time-outs.
• Use self-exclusion if you need a longer break from gambling.
• Keep money for rent, bills, and savings separate from play funds.
• Do not chase losses or bet under stress, alcohol, or drugs.
• Track your play using account history and statements.
• Gambling is for adults only. Do not allow under-18s to access your account.
• Follow local laws in your state. Stop playing if gambling is restricted where you live.

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Warning signs show when play is no longer under control. This condition is serious and needs attention.

• Spending more than you can afford and breaking your limits.
• Increasing stakes to feel the same excitement.
• Hiding betting from family or friends.
• Feeling irritable, anxious, or restless when not gambling.
• Chasing losses after a bad session.
• Missing work, studies, or social plans due to play.
• Borrowing, selling items, or using credit to fund bets.
• Repeated failed attempts to cut down or stop.
• Using betting to escape low mood, stress, or other problems.
• Risking relationships, reputation, or legal issues for gambling.
