Responsible Gambling

Set limits before you play

• Deposit limits: most platforms let you cap how much you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly from your account settings.
• Time limits: use session reminders or your phone's screen-time tools to avoid marathon sessions.
• Loss limits: decide the maximum you're willing to lose before you start, and stop when you hit it — win or lose.
• Never chase losses: treat losses as the cost of entertainment, not money to be won back.

Warning signs to watch for

• Spending more time or money than you planned, repeatedly.
• Borrowing money or selling belongings to keep playing.
• Lying to family or friends about how much you play or spend.
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or unable to stop when you try to cut back.
• Neglecting work, school, or relationships because of gambling.

Tools that can help

• Self-exclusion: most platforms offer a self-exclusion or account-freeze feature in account settings or via support — this temporarily or permanently blocks access.
• Deposit and loss limits: set these proactively from your account's responsible gaming settings.
• Reality checks: enable session-length or spend notifications if your platform offers them.

Where to get support

If gambling is affecting your life, your finances, or your relationships, please talk to a licensed counselor, a trusted support group, or your local health provider. Your platform's customer support team can also walk you through self-exclusion and account limit options — this is free and confidential.

For friends and family

If you're worried about someone else's gambling, approach them without judgment, encourage them to use limit-setting or self-exclusion tools, and suggest they speak with a counselor. Community and family support make a real difference.
