Responsible Gambling
Play for fun
Casino games should be entertainment, not a way to earn money or fix financial problems. Decide in advance how much time and money you are comfortable spending, and stop when you reach that point.
Practical habits
- Set a deposit limit before you start and never chase losses.
- Take regular breaks and avoid playing when tired, upset or under the influence of alcohol.
- Keep gambling separate from money needed for bills, rent and essentials.
- Check your account history often so you know how much you have spent.
Tools on the operator site
The casino lists responsible gaming tools in the account area. Look for deposit limits, session reminders, cool-off breaks and self-exclusion, and use them early rather than waiting for a problem.
Warning signs
Spending more than planned, hiding gambling from family, borrowing to play or feeling anxious when you are not playing are all signs it may be time to step back and talk to someone.
