RESPONSIBLE GAMING

Play Responsibly

Gaming should remain an activity undertaken within reasonable personal limits.

It should not interfere with your financial responsibilities, relationships, education, employment, health, or everyday life.

Play Responsibly

Gaming should remain an activity undertaken within reasonable personal limits.

It should not interfere with your financial responsibilities, relationships, education, employment, health, or everyday life.

Set a Personal Limit

Before participating in any activity involving money, decide how much you can comfortably afford to lose.

Never exceed a limit simply because you experienced a loss.

Keep Essential Money Separate

Money required for:

  • Food

  • Rent or housing

  • Education

  • Medical expenses

  • Utilities

  • Debt payments

  • Family responsibilities

should never be used for gaming.

Do Not Chase Losses

One of the most important responsible-gaming principles is avoiding the attempt to recover previous losses by continuing to play.

A loss does not create an obligation to keep playing.

Understand That Results Are Not Guaranteed

Gaming outcomes can vary, and previous results do not guarantee future outcomes.

Do not assume that a particular result, pattern, strategy, or prediction guarantees a future result.

Manage Your Time

Responsible gaming also includes managing the amount of time spent on gaming-related activities.

Take regular breaks and make sure gaming does not replace important daily responsibilities.

Avoid Emotional Decisions

Avoid making gaming-related decisions when you are angry, stressed, tired, intoxicated, or under significant emotional pressure.

Taking a break can help you make more considered decisions.

Recognize Warning Signs

You should consider taking a break or seeking appropriate support if you notice behaviors such as:

  • Frequently exceeding your intended limits

  • Trying to recover losses

  • Hiding gaming activity from others

  • Spending money needed for essential expenses

  • Losing track of time

  • Feeling unable to stop

  • Experiencing significant stress because of gaming

Use Available Controls

Where a third-party platform provides responsible-gaming features such as deposit limits, time limits, self-exclusion, or account restrictions, users should consider using them when appropriate.

Protect Minors

Keep age-restricted accounts, devices, and login information away from children and minors.

Parents and guardians should consider suitable parental controls where necessary.

Seek Support

If gaming is becoming difficult to control or is causing financial or personal problems, consider speaking with a qualified professional, trusted person, or appropriate support organization.

Remember

Gaming should be approached as entertainment, not as a guaranteed way to make money.

The safest approach is to remain within your personal limits and stop when gaming is no longer enjoyable or manageable.
