Practical habits for responsible play
Set limits before you start
Decide in advance how much time and money you can afford to spend. Do not exceed those limits.
Do not chase losses
A loss is not a reason to keep playing or to increase your stake. Betting outcomes are uncertain.
Take regular breaks
Make room for work, sleep, relationships, and other interests. Stop if play no longer feels enjoyable.
Ask for help early
If betting is causing stress or affecting your life, speak with someone you trust and contact a qualified local support service.
Consider taking a break if
- You are spending more time or money than you intended.
- You are borrowing, hiding activity, or trying to recover losses.
- Betting is affecting your mood, relationships, work, or finances.
- You feel unable to stop even when you want to.
Pause play and speak with a trusted person or a qualified support service in your area. If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.
