Before you start playing.
Set three limits while the decision is still straightforward.
Select a spending limit that you're comfortable losing entirely, set a specific time to end your session, and establish a rule against redepositing funds during the same playing session.
Use the demo play as a way to familiarise yourself with the controls and how the game works. It doesn't predict how a later session playing with real money will perform.
- Use only funds designated for entertainment purposes.
- Set a timer outside the casino interface.
- Never borrow money to play.
- Do not increase your bets in an attempt to recoup a loss.
Warning signs.
Stop letting the game dictate the rest of your day.
If you find yourself trying to win back losses, concealing how much you're spending, neglecting your responsibilities, borrowing money, feeling unable to stop playing, or using gambling to escape distress, it's important 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.
