Responsible Gambling

Gambling should remain a recreational activity, not a way to solve financial problems. It is important to play in moderation and follow these guidelines:

Guidelines for Responsible Gambling

Treat gambling as a form of entertainment, not a guaranteed source of income.
Only use money you can afford to lose. Do not use funds needed for essential expenses, such as rent, food, or bills.
Keep detailed records of your gambling expenses.
Avoid chasing losses. Increasing bets to try to recover lost money is risky behavior.
Use available tools on licensed gambling websites to set deposit limits and manage your spending.

Assess Your Gambling Behavior

If you are unsure about your relationship with gambling, consider the following questions:

Have you ever neglected work, school, or personal responsibilities due to gambling?
Do you gamble to solve financial problems rather than for fun?
Do you feel the urge to gamble again immediately after losing?
Have you ever spent all your money on gambling?
Have you ever lied, borrowed money, or sold belongings to fund your gambling?
Does your gambling interfere with your family or loved ones?
Do you gamble to escape conflicts or personal disappointments?
Do you feel anxious or restless when you cannot gamble?
Do you feel low self-esteem regarding your gambling habits?

If you answered “yes” to several of these questions, you may be experiencing gambling-related problems.

Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength.
