Professional support is available 24/7
Decide how long you want to play before you start. Set an alarm and stick to it. Gaming should never interfere with work, family, or other important activities.
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Set a strict budget and never chase losses. Think of gambling as paying for entertainment, not as a way to make money.
Step away from gaming regularly. Use this time to assess your mood and spending. If you're frustrated or trying to win back losses, it's time to stop.
Don't use gambling to escape problems or negative emotions. Gaming should only be done when you're in a positive mindset and making clear-headed decisions.
Gaming should be social and fun. If you find yourself hiding your gambling from friends and family, it may be time to seek help.
Understand that the house always has an edge. Don't expect to win, and celebrate any wins as bonus entertainment.
Answer these questions honestly to evaluate your gambling habits
Take control of your gaming experience with these industry-standard tools
Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit. These limits help you stick to your budget and prevent overspending.
How it works: Once set, limits can be decreased immediately but increases require a 24-48 hour cooling-off period.
Control how long you spend gaming in a single session. The system will automatically log you out when your time limit is reached.
Recommended: Set 1-2 hour session limits to maintain perspective and avoid fatigue-based decisions.
Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a day, week, or month. When reached, you'll be prevented from further gambling.
Important: Loss limits help prevent chasing losses, which is a common problem gambling behavior.
Receive pop-up reminders showing how long you've been playing and how much you've spent during your session.
