Responsible Gambling
Gambling is an entertainment expense with uncertain outcomes. It should never be used as a plan to earn income, recover debt or solve financial pressure.
Keep gambling within an entertainment budget
Set a money limit and time limit before play begins. The money limit should not affect housing, bills, food, debt payments, savings or other priorities.
Do not increase a limit to recover a loss. Previous results do not improve the probability of the next independent outcome.
Use account controls early
Available tools may include deposit, loss, wager or session limits, reality checks, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion. Confirm the current options and how long changes take to apply.
Limits should be easy to find and should not be hidden behind promotional content.
