Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be entertainment, not a source of income or a way to solve financial problems. If gambling is no longer fun, it is time to stop. Below you will find resources to help you stay in control.
Set Your Limits
Before you start playing, decide how much money and time you can afford to spend. Stick to those limits regardless of whether you are winning or losing.
- Deposit limits — Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps at your chosen casino.
- Loss limits — Decide the maximum you are willing to lose in a session.
- Time limits — Use session timers or alarms to track how long you have been playing.
- Never chase losses — Walking away after a losing session is always the right move.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If any of the following apply to you or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you can afford
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities
- Lying to others about how much you gamble
- Repeatedly trying to cut back but being unable to stop
Self-Exclusion
Most reputable online casinos offer self-exclusion programs that allow you to block yourself from accessing your account for a set period (typically 6 months, 1 year, or permanently). Contact the casino's support team directly to initiate self-exclusion.
In the United States, many states also operate their own self-exclusion registries. Check with your state's gaming commission for local options.
