Gambling can be an enjoyable entertainment activity when approached responsibly. However, for some people it can become a problem. This page outlines resources, warning signs, and practical tools to help you stay in control.
Play Within Your Limits
Before you play at any online casino, set a budget you are comfortable losing. Never gamble with money earmarked for essential expenses such as rent, bills, or food. Gambling winnings should be viewed as a bonus, not a source of income.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
You may have a gambling problem if you:
- Spend more money or time gambling than you intend to
- Chase losses by placing larger or more frequent bets
- Feel irritable or restless when not gambling
- Lie to friends or family about your gambling activity
- Borrow money or sell assets to fund gambling
- Neglect work, family, or health obligations because of gambling
