Responsible Gambling

Gambling is entertainment with a real risk of loss. It is not income, investing, or a way to solve debt.

Before playing

Confirm gambling is legal where you live and that you meet the legal age.
Set a hard money limit and time limit before opening an account.
Never use rent, food, tuition, debt payments, borrowed money, or emergency savings.
Do not chase losses or increase stakes to change your mood.

Stop and seek help

Warning signs include hiding play, borrowing to gamble, repeated failed attempts to stop, gambling while distressed, or damage to work and relationships. Use operator limits or self-exclusion and contact an independent service such as BeGambleAware. In an immediate crisis, contact local emergency services.
