Tips for Responsible Gambling
Set Limits Before You Start
Decide how much money and time you can afford to spend before you begin gambling, and stick to these limits.
Treat Gambling as Entertainment
View gambling as a form of entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems.
Never Chase Losses
Don't try to win back money you've lost by gambling more. This often leads to bigger losses.
Don't Gamble When Upset
Avoid gambling when you're feeling depressed, angry, or stressed. These emotions can lead to poor decisions.
Take Regular Breaks
Take frequent breaks from gambling to maintain perspective and avoid making impulsive decisions.
Keep It in Balance
Balance gambling with other activities like work, family time, and social activities.
Support for Family and Friends
Problem gambling doesn't just affect the gambler—it impacts family and friends too. If someone you care about has a gambling problem:
- Talk to them about your concerns in a non-judgmental way
- Encourage them to seek professional help
- Don't lend them money or cover their gambling debts
- Seek support for yourself through counselling services
- Remember that recovery is possible with the right support
Underage Gambling Prevention
We have strict age verification procedures to prevent underage gambling:
- Age verification required before account creation
- Document verification for all new customers
- Regular monitoring of account activity
- Immediate account closure for underage users
- Cooperation with authorities on underage gambling prevention
Remember: Persons under 18 years of age are not permitted to gamble.
