Understanding Responsible Gaming
Responsible gaming means gambling in a way that is fun, safe, and within your means. It involves making informed decisions about when, where, and how much you gamble, while being aware of the potential risks involved.
Gaming should always be treated as entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. The majority of people can enjoy gambling as a recreational activity without experiencing any negative consequences.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
It's important to recognize the warning signs that may indicate gambling is becoming a problem:
Behavioral Signs
- Spending more time and money gambling than you can afford
- Lying to family and friends about gambling activities
- Chasing losses with bigger bets
- Borrowing money to gamble
- Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities
Emotional Signs
- Feeling anxious or depressed about gambling
- Being unable to stop thinking about gambling
- Feeling guilty or ashamed about gambling habits
- Experiencing mood swings related to wins and losses
Self-Assessment Tools
Regular self-assessment can help you maintain awareness of your gambling habits. Ask yourself these important questions:
Self-Assessment Questions
- Do you gamble longer than you originally planned?
- Do you gamble to escape from problems or feelings of sadness?
- Have you ever lied about how much you gamble?
- Do you feel restless when trying to cut down on gambling?
- Have you risked important relationships or opportunities because of gambling?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, it may be time to seek help or consider implementing stricter limits on your gambling activities.
Responsible Gaming Tools and Limits
We provide various tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much money you can deposit into your account. These limits help prevent impulsive decisions and ensure you only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Time Limits
Control how long you spend gambling by setting session time limits. Receive notifications when your predetermined time is about to expire, helping you maintain a healthy balance between gambling and other activities.
Reality Checks
Regular pop-up reminders show you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent, helping you stay aware of your gambling activity in real-time.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need a break from gambling, you can temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your account. This cooling-off period can range from 24 hours to permanent exclusion.
