On this page you will find guidelines for responsible gambling, as well as information on the self-management tools and support available.
Basic Rules for Responsible Gambling
To minimise risks and keep gambling an enjoyable leisure activity, follow these basic guidelines:
- See betting and gambling as a form of entertainment only, not as a means of earning money;
- Play only with funds the loss of which will not cause you or your family financial hardship;
- Do not borrow money for betting or use credit;
- Determine in advance the limits on the amount of losses and winnings after which you will end the game;
- Do not increase bets in an attempt to win back after a loss;
- Do not gamble under the influence of stress, fatigue, alcohol or drugs.
- Take regular breaks during gaming sessions to avoid overexertion;
- Control the time you spend gaming and do not sacrifice work, school or personal relationships for betting.
Signs of Gambling Addiction
If you notice any of the following signs in yourself or a loved one, you should consider the risk of addiction:
- Constant thoughts of gambling and inability to stop betting;
- Regularly increasing the size of bets to get the same emotions;
- Trying to hide gambling from others;
- Using gambling as an escape from problems or stress;
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling;
- Becoming addicted to gambling.
