Responsible Gambling

Know the Risks

Online gambling carries inherent risks. The odds are always in favour of the house, and no strategy can guarantee consistent winnings. Gambling should only ever be treated as entertainment, not as a way to make money.

Tips for Responsible Gambling

• Set a budget — Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never chase losses.
• Set time limits — Decide how long you will play before you start, and stick to it.
• Do not gamble under the influence — Alcohol and drugs impair judgement and decision-making.
• Take regular breaks — Step away from the screen to maintain perspective.
• Never borrow to gamble — If you need to borrow money to gamble, it is a sign of a problem.
• Balance gambling with other activities — Gambling should not be your only form of entertainment.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

• Spending more money or time on gambling than you can afford
• Chasing losses or increasing bets to recover money
• Difficulty controlling or stopping gambling
• Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities
• Lying to others about gambling habits
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed about gambling

Self-Exclusion Tools

Most reputable online gambling sites offer self-exclusion options that allow you to block yourself from accessing your account for a set period. We encourage you to use these tools if you feel your gambling is becoming problematic.
