Play Within Limits
Gaming should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to solve financial problems or produce guaranteed income. Decide your budget and time limit before you begin, and stop when either limit is reached.
Set a Budget
Only use money you can afford to lose. Do not borrow money or use funds needed for bills, food, housing, education, or emergencies.
Do Not Chase Losses
Increasing bets to recover previous losses can rapidly increase financial harm. A losing session is not a debt that must be won back.
Take Breaks
Long sessions can affect judgment. Set alarms, step away regularly, and avoid playing when stressed, intoxicated, angry, or sleep-deprived.
Know When to Stop
If gaming is affecting finances, work, relationships, or wellbeing, stop and seek support. Self-exclusion or account limits may also be appropriate.
