SAFER GAMBLING
Responsible Gaming
Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to make money.
Stay in control

- Use deposit, loss and time limits in your account
- Take regular breaks and use reality checks
- Never chase losses or gamble when upset
- Never borrow money to gamble
Warning signs
- Spending more time or money than intended
- Hiding gambling from friends or family
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
- Gambling to escape problems
