Safe Gambling

Gambling should stay fun. It is a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. Please play only with money you can afford to lose.

Know the signs

• Spending more time or money than you intended.
• Chasing losses or betting to escape stress.
• Borrowing money or neglecting work, family, or responsibilities to play.

Stay in control

• Set a budget and a time limit before you start — and stick to them.
• Never gamble under the influence or when upset.
• Use deposit limits, cool-off, and self-exclusion tools where offered.
• Treat any winnings as a bonus, not income.
