Responsible Gaming

Set a time and spending boundary that fits your budget, avoid using money needed for essentials, and stop when either boundary is reached. If you feel pressure to continue or recover losses, take a break and seek support rather than increasing the limit.

Before participating, decide what amount and time you are willing to spend and consider not participating if the activity would affect bills, savings, work, sleep or relationships. Keep gambling separate from borrowing or financial recovery plans; outcomes are uncertain and losses can occur.

During or after a session, review the time and money spent rather than relying on memory. A written personal rule can help you notice when you are moving beyond your plan. Take a break if you feel rushed, upset, distracted or tempted to chase a loss.

If you choose to use platform controls, check the current official account settings for the controls actually offered, how they take effect and whether changes have a waiting period. Options differ by operator and location. For support beyond account tools, contact a qualified local support organization; this page is general information, not medical advice.

A pause-and-review checklist

• Choose a time boundary before starting
• Set a spending limit that excludes essential funds
• Do not borrow or chase losses
• Review actual activity and take breaks
• Check official controls and their current terms
• Reach out to trusted or qualified support if concerned

Signs to stop and reassess

• You are spending more time or money than planned
• You are trying to win back losses
• The activity is affecting essential spending or relationships
• You feel unable to pause when you intended to

If gambling is causing concern, stop for now and contact a trusted person or a qualified support service in your location.
