Tips for Safer Gambling

Follow these guidelines to keep gambling as a fun form of entertainment.

Set Time Limits

Decide how long you will play before you start and stick to it

Set Deposit Limits

Use casino tools to limit how much you can deposit daily/weekly/monthly

Never Chase Losses

Accept losses as the cost of entertainment, not something to win back

Don't Gamble When Upset

Avoid gambling when stressed, depressed, or emotionally compromised

Take Regular Breaks

Step away from gambling regularly to maintain perspective

Balance with Other Activities

Ensure gambling doesn't replace other hobbies and social activities
