Promoting Responsible Gambling Practices

How to Gamble Responsibly:

1. View Gambling as Entertainment: It is important to perceive gambling as a form of entertainment rather than a means of generating income.
2. Gamble within Affordable Limits: Only gamble with funds that you can afford to lose. Utilize Deposit Limits and Spend Limits to effectively manage your gambling expenses.
3. Avoid Chasing Losses: Resist the urge to chase losses, as this behavior can lead to further problems.
4. Monitor Your Gambling Time: Use Session Limits to keep track of the time spent playing and manage the duration of your logged-in sessions.

6. Take Regular Breaks: Taking breaks from gambling is essential to avoid losing track of time and perspective.
7. Avoid Gambling Under the Influence: Refrain from gambling while under the influence of alcohol or experiencing negative emotions, as they can impair decision-making abilities.
