Before playing.
Set three limits while the decision is still easy.
Choose a spending limit that you're comfortable losing completely, set a specific end time, and establish a rule against redepositing funds during the same gaming session.
Use the demo play as a way to familiarize yourself with the controls and game mechanics. It does not predict the outcome of a future session played with real money.
- Use only entertainment funds that you don't mind losing.
- Set a timer outside the casino interface.
- Never borrow money to gamble.
- Do not increase your bets to try to recover a loss.
Warning signs
Stop letting the game dictate the rest of your day.
Trying to win back losses, concealing how much you're spending, neglecting your responsibilities, borrowing money, feeling unable to stop playing, or playing to escape distress are all reasons to take a break and seek support.
Use deposit limits, reality checks, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion options where the operator provides them. A full meter or a prolonged losing streak is not a reason to continue spending.
