🛡️ Responsible Gambling

Gambling is entertainment — it should be fun, not a source of financial stress. This page gives you the tools to stay in control and links to free support if you ever need it.

⚠️

Gambling Involves Risk

Gambling always carries the risk of financial loss. The house always has an edge. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and never chase losses. If gambling stops being fun, stop immediately and seek help.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Be honest with yourself. If any of these apply, please seek help.

💸

Chasing Losses

Continuing to gamble after losing, trying to win back what you've lost.

🤥

Hiding Gambling

Lying to family or friends about how much time or money you spend gambling.

💳

Borrowing to Gamble

Taking loans, using credit cards, or borrowing money to fund gambling.

😰

Gambling to Cope

Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other problems.

🔄

How to Stay in Control

Healthy gambling habits to protect yourself.

Set a Budget

Decide exactly how much you can afford to lose before you start — and stick to it.

Set Time Limits

Limit your gambling sessions to a fixed time. Use phone timers if needed.

Never Chase Losses

Accept that losses are part of gambling. Walk away when you hit your limit.

Take Regular Breaks

Step away often. Gambling fatigue leads to poor decisions.

Keep Gambling Fun

Only gamble for entertainment, never to make money or solve financial problems.
