Set boundaries before play

Decide on a spending limit and a stopping time before opening a game. Keep essential bills and borrowed money out of gambling.

Use available deposit, time-out and self-exclusion tools through your operator. A limit is a boundary, not a target to spend.

Notice when control is slipping

Chasing losses, hiding spending or feeling unable to stop are reasons to step away and seek support. You do not need to wait for a crisis to ask for help.
