Responsible Gaming
Real-money games should be treated as paid entertainment, never as a job, investment or solution to debt. Outcomes are uncertain and losses are possible.
Set limits before playing
- Choose a small entertainment budget you can afford to lose completely.
- Set a time limit and stop when it ends.
- Never borrow, use rent or food money, or sell belongings to continue.
- Do not play while intoxicated, distressed, angry or trying to recover a loss.
- Keep records of deposits and withdrawals.
Warning signs
Take a break and seek help if you hide spending, repeatedly exceed limits, chase losses, borrow to play, neglect work or relationships, or feel restless when unable to access games.
Practical controls
Use deposit limits, time reminders, cool-off periods or self-exclusion if the external platform offers them. You can also block gambling transactions through supported financial tools, uninstall apps and ask a trusted person to help monitor finances.
Immediate safety
If gambling is causing severe distress or thoughts of self-harm, stop playing and contact local emergency or crisis support immediately. Financial losses are serious but help is available.
