Set boundaries before starting
Do not treat gaming as wages, an investment or a way to pay bills. Use only money whose loss would not affect essentials, and decide time and spending limits before opening a game. If those limits are difficult to keep, take a break instead of increasing them.
Recognise warning signs
- Chasing losses or borrowing to continue.
- Hiding time spent or amounts lost from people close to you.
- Playing when distressed or trying to solve money problems through another round.
- Finding it difficult to stop despite deciding to stop.
Ask about account controls
Check whether the operator offers deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusion or account closure. Ask support what the control covers and when it takes effect. We cannot apply restrictions to a game account.
