PLAY
Responsibly

You got it. Ten rules. Ten simple points to keep you aware of why you started gambling, how to spot the danger signs, and how to keep it enjoyable.

• Gambling should be fun! Only ever play with money that you are willing to lose.
• Never consider gambling to be a source of income. It’s a game and nothing more.
• All gambling is a game of chance. There is no guarantee that you will win.
• Never chase your losses. Chasing losses usually leads to bigger and bigger losses.
• Avoid gambling when you’re depressed, upset, or emotional.

• If you feel that you’re spending more than you can afford, set self-restricting limits.
• Balance gambling with other activities. When gambling becomes your only form of entertainment, it is unlikely that you are still just gambling for fun.
• Take frequent breaks. Gambling continuously can cause you to lose track of time and perspective.
• Never drink or use drugs when gambling. Drugs and alcohol cloud judgment and good judgment stands as your main line of defense against letting gambling get out of control.
• If you feel concerned about your gambling, take a break from it. Block your account by requesting a self-exclusion.
