Essential Safety Checklist

Important practices every responsible gambler should follow

Set Time & Money Limits

Decide how much time and money you can afford to spend before you start playing, and stick to these limits.

Never Chase Losses

Trying to win back lost money often leads to larger losses. Accept losses as part of the cost of entertainment.

Gambling Is Not Income

Don't rely on gambling for income or to solve financial problems. Treat it as entertainment only.

Take Regular Breaks

Step away periodically to clear your mind and reassess your gambling session objectively.

Don't Gamble When Emotional

Avoid gambling when upset, depressed, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Keep Track of Time & Money

Monitor how much time and money you spend gambling to maintain awareness of your habits.

Use Casino Tools

Take advantage of deposit limits, time limits, and self-exclusion tools offered by operators.

Maintain Balance

Keep gambling as just one of many entertainment activities in your life, not the main focus.
