Responsible Gambling

🎯 Gambling Responsibly

Gambling should be fun and entertaining. When it stops being enjoyable, it's time to take a break. Remember that gambling is a form of entertainment, not a way to make money.

⚠️ Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

• Spending more money than you can afford to lose
• Gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Lying about gambling activities to family or friends
• Chasing losses with bigger bets
• Feeling restless or irritable when not gambling
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities

🛡️ Setting Limits

• Time Limits: Set specific times for gambling activities
• Money Limits: Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum loss amount and stick to it
• Win Limits: Consider stopping when you're ahead
• Never Chase Losses: Accept losses as part of the entertainment cost

🔞 Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years old to participate in gambling activities. All recommended platforms require age verification before allowing real money betting.

🚫 Self-Exclusion Tools

Most betting platforms offer self-exclusion tools that allow you to:

• Temporarily suspend your account
• Set deposit and betting limits
• Take extended breaks from gambling
• Permanently close your account
