Keep it a game
- Decide on a budget before you play and treat it as the cost of entertainment, not as money to win back.
- Set deposit, loss and session limits in your casino account; every licensed casino offers them.
- Take breaks and never chase losses.
- Do not gamble when you are stressed, low or under the influence.
Warning signs
Spending more than you planned, borrowing to play, hiding your gambling or feeling restless when you stop are signs to take a step back.
