Responsible Gambling
Gambling should always be fun. If it stops being fun, it's time to get help.
Golden Rules
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
- Set a budget before you start — and stick to it
- Never chase losses
- Gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money
- Take regular breaks
- Don't gamble when you're stressed, upset, or under the influence
- Keep gambling in balance with other activities you enjoy
⚠️ Warning Signs
You may have a problem if you:
- Spend more than you can afford
- Borrow money to gamble
- Lie to others about your gambling
- Feel anxious or irritable when not gambling
- Try to "win back" money you've lost
- Neglect work, family, or responsibilities
- Use gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
