Responsible Gambling

• Set a Budget: Decide how much you can afford to spend before playing and never exceed that amount.
• Set a Time Limit: Treat gambling as entertainment, not a job. Take regular breaks.
• Never Chase Losses: Losing is part of gambling. Don’t try to recover losses with more bets.
• Keep Perspective: Gambling is a game of chance—there’s no guaranteed way to win.
• Balance Your Activities: Make time for other hobbies and social activities outside of gambling.

You may be developing a gambling problem if you:

• Spend more money or time gambling than intended
• Hide gambling activity from friends or family
• Feel anxious or stressed when you’re not playing
• Borrow money to gamble or pay debts
• Try to win back losses quickly

If any of these apply, it’s time to take a break and seek help. Problem gambling is manageable but only if addressed early.

• BeGambleAware: 24/7 advice and support for UK players

• NCPG: U.S. National Council on Problem Gambling

• Temporary or permanent self-exclusion options

Check your casino’s Responsible Gambling section to activate these settings—they exist to protect you.
