Responsible Gaming

Overview

Gaming should be treated as paid entertainment with uncertain outcomes, never as a guaranteed way to earn money. A responsible plan starts before participation and includes strict money, time and emotional limits.

Set limits first

• Use only money left after essential living costs and savings.
• Choose a maximum session amount and stop time before opening a game.
• Do not borrow, sell assets or use credit to continue.
• Track total deposits and withdrawals rather than only recent results.

Warning signs

• Trying to win back losses by increasing amounts.
• Hiding participation or spending from family.
• Missing work, study, sleep or financial obligations.
• Feeling anxious, angry or unable to stop.
• Using multiple accounts or loans to continue.

What to do

• Stop the session and take a meaningful break.
• Use available deposit, loss, time or self-exclusion controls.
• Ask a trusted person to help protect finances and devices.
• Contact a qualified local support or healthcare service when control is difficult.

Protecting minors

Keep account credentials, payment apps and devices away from minors. Use screen locks and parental controls and never allow another person to use an account in your name.

Safety notes

Important: Seek urgent professional help when gambling-related stress creates a risk of self-harm, violence, severe debt or loss of basic needs.
