Responsible Gambling

Guidelines for Responsible Play

1. Set a Budget

Decide in advance how much money you will spend on gambling and stay within that limit. Only use money you can afford to lose.

2. Set Time Limits

Decide how long you will play and take regular breaks. Extended play can impair your judgment.

3. Don't Play When Emotional

Gambling when stressed, angry, or sad can prevent you from making clear decisions.

4. Don't Chase Losses

Avoid playing more to try to recover lost money. This is a typical sign of problem gambling behavior.

5. Avoid Playing While Drinking

Alcohol impairs judgment. We recommend avoiding gambling while drinking.
