Responsible Gambling

Gambling should always be entertainment — never a way to make money or solve financial problems.

Play safely

• Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
• Set a budget and a time limit before you start.
• Never chase losses.
• Do not gamble when you are upset, stressed or under the influence of alcohol.
• Take regular breaks.

Use the tools casinos provide

Licensed casinos offer deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, cool-off periods and self-exclusion. Use them — they work best when set up in advance.

Warning signs

• Spending more money or time than you intended
• Borrowing money or selling things to gamble
• Hiding your gambling from family or friends
• Feeling anxious or irritable when you are not gambling
