Responsible Gaming Practices for Players
Set a Budget
Setting a budget is one of the most effective ways to ensure responsible gaming. Decide on an amount you can afford to lose and stick to it. Only increase your budget or spend as much as planned to chase losses.
Treat Gambling as entertainment.
Gambling should be viewed as entertainment, not a source of income. Always remember that you might not win, and the main point of games is to have fun.
Monitor Your Time
Be mindful of how much time you spend on gaming activities. Regularly taking breaks and setting limits on session durations help you maintain a healthy balance.
Avoid Gambling When Stressed or Upset
Emotions can influence gaming decisions, leading to impulsive behavior. Don’t gamble when you’re angry, stressed, or under the effects of drugs that could make you lose control. Upset or under the influence of substances that may impair judgment.
Don’t Borrow to Gamble
You should always use money to pay for gaming. Not doing so can make money problems worse and cause problems related to gaming.
Seek Support if Needed
If you think your game is getting out of hand, feel free to ask for help from family, friends, or professional groups.
Responsible Gaming Practices for Families

If you think a family member is becoming addicted to Gambling, keep an eye on their games and look for signs of problem gambling.
Open Communication

Financial Safeguards
Consider implementing financial safeguards if a family member is struggling with gambling addiction. This may include managing their finances or setting spending limits to prevent overspending.
Encourage Professional Help
