Gambling is entertainment, not income. Never gamble money you cannot afford to lose. If it stops being fun, stop.
Before you play
- Set a budget before you start and treat it as spent.
- Set a time limit.
- Never chase losses.
- Never gamble to solve financial problems.
- Do not gamble while upset, intoxicated or under pressure.
- Take breaks away from the screen.
Warning signs
- Spending more than you can afford.
- Borrowing money or selling things to gamble.
- Hiding gambling from family or friends.
- Feeling anxious, irritable or low about gambling.
- Chasing losses or raising stakes to feel the same excitement.
- Neglecting work, school or relationships.
- Gambling to escape stress or grief.
