Responsible Gaming

  • Gambling shouldn't be considered a way to make money, but rather an enjoyable form of entertainment performed in moderation.
  • Set money and time limits for gaming and stick to them. Any money you spend on gambling should be part of your entertainment budget.
  • Your budget on gambling should be based on what you can afford to lose.
  • Gambling is your choice. Don’t allow yourself or others to pressure you to play.
  • Take a break and participate in other forms of entertainment. Gambling should be a fun and limited part of a well-balanced lifestyle.
  • Gambling should not be considered a requirement for having a good time.
  • Avoid gambling when you’re upset, lonely, angry, depressed, or stressed.
  • Gambling is not advised for those in recovery for addictive disorders or dependencies.
