Responsible Gambling

Understanding Responsible Gambling

Responsible gambling means making informed decisions about gambling, being aware of the risks, and keeping gambling within your means. It involves:

• Only gambling with money you can afford to lose
• Setting time and spending limits before you start
• Never chasing losses or gambling to solve financial problems
• Balancing gambling with other activities and responsibilities
• Being aware of the odds and understanding that the house always has an edge

Setting Limits

One of the most important aspects of responsible gambling is setting clear limits for yourself:

Financial Limits

• Set a weekly or monthly gambling budget and stick to it
• Only gamble with disposable income, never with money needed for bills or essentials
• Avoid borrowing money to gamble
• Don't use credit cards for gambling

Time Limits

• Decide how much time you want to spend gambling before you start
• Take regular breaks from gambling activities
• Don't let gambling interfere with work, family, or social obligations

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

It's important to recognize the warning signs that gambling may be becoming a problem:

• Spending more money than you intended or can afford
• Gambling for longer periods than planned
• Lying to family or friends about gambling activities
• Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities
• Chasing losses by gambling more
• Borrowing money to gamble
• Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not gambling
• Thinking about gambling constantly
