Guidelines for Responsible Gaming

Gambling and enjoying your favorite game with friends is fun, but how do you know if you have a problem? Or if someone you know is at risk?

We're here to help you be more mindful of the way you play and guide you to a safer way of gambling. Here are some ways to stay safe:

• Play for entertainment, not to make money.
• Play with money you can afford to lose.
• Set up limits to better manage your money.
• Never chase losses.
• Don't play when you're upset.
• Balance your gambling with other activities.
