Responsible Gambling
Gambling should never be treated as income, an investment or a way to recover losses. Slots use random outcomes and have a long-run house advantage.
Before playing
- Use only money left after rent, food, bills, debt payments and savings.
- Set a fixed money limit and time limit before the first wager.
- Do not borrow money or use credit intended for essential expenses.
- Check whether gambling is legal and age-restricted where you are located.
- Never use a VPN or false information to bypass restrictions.
Warning signs
- Chasing losses or increasing stakes to recover money.
- Hiding gambling activity or spending from other people.
- Playing longer or spending more than intended.
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety or financial pressure.
- Missing work, responsibilities or payments because of gambling.
Use operator controls
Licensed operators may offer deposit limits, loss limits, time reminders, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion. Set limits before play and choose self-exclusion if shorter controls are not enough.
