Responsible Gambling

What is Responsible Gambling?

Responsible gambling means treating gambling as entertainment, not a way to make money. It involves playing in a controlled, aware manner within your budget. Responsible gamblers set time and money limits, never chase losses, and can stop playing at any time.

Guidelines for Responsible Gambling

1. Set a budget and stick to it — Decide how much you can afford to spend before you start playing.
2. Set a time limit — Use timers and reminders to avoid losing track of time.
3. Never chase losses — If you're losing, don't increase your bets to try to win it back.
4. Don't gamble under the influence — Alcohol and strong emotions impair judgement.
5. Treat gambling as entertainment — Think of money spent as the cost of entertainment.
6. Take regular breaks — Step away from the screen for at least 15 minutes every hour.
7. Never borrow money to gamble — Don't take loans or borrow from friends for gambling.
8. Use control tools — Set deposit limits, loss limits, and session limits at your casino.
