Tips for Responsible Gambling

Set a budget before you start and stick to it. Never gamble with money you need for bills or essentials.

Never chase losses — walk away when your budget is spent. Tomorrow is another day.

Don't gamble when you're upset, stressed, or under the influence. Emotions cloud judgment.

Take regular breaks and set time limits. Use a timer if needed.

Never borrow money to gamble. If you need to borrow, you can't afford to play.

Remember: the house always has an edge. Gambling is entertainment, not income.

Responsible Gambling

Responsible gambling matters. Licensed casinos should offer self-exclusion tools and deposit limits. If you are concerned about your gambling habits, use the self-assessment tool above.
