Gambling Involves Risk
Gambling can result in financial loss, stress and harm to relationships or wellbeing. There is no reliable system that guarantees profit. If you choose to participate where lawful, use only discretionary money that you can afford to lose.
Personal Limits and Safer Habits
- Set a strict spending limit before starting and do not increase it after losses.
- Set a time limit and take regular breaks.
- Never borrow money or use essential expenses for gambling.
- Avoid gambling when stressed, intoxicated or trying to recover financial losses.
- Keep track of the total amount spent rather than individual wins.
- Use deposit limits, time-outs or self-exclusion tools if your chosen service offers them.
