Responsible Gaming
21+ only. Gaming should be entertainment, never a way to make money or escape problems.
Golden rules
- Only play if you are 21 or older.
- Only use money you can afford to lose, never rent, bills or borrowed money.
- Set a time limit and a loss limit before every session.
- Never chase losses. The house edge means chasing usually makes things worse.
- Don't play when stressed, upset or drinking.
- Play only on licensed sites. See the safety checklist.
Warning signs
- Spending more time or money than you planned
- Hiding gaming from family or friends
- Borrowing money or selling things to gamble
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not playing
- Believing a "system" will win it back. It won't.
Tools that help
