Responsible Gambling

Gambling should be entertainment you can afford. It stops being that quickly if it becomes a way to make money or to escape something.

Signs worth taking seriously: betting more than you planned, chasing losses, borrowing to play, hiding it from people close to you, or feeling anxious when you are not playing.

Practical steps: set deposit limits before you play, use reality checks and time-outs, and use self-exclusion if you need a hard stop. Most licensed operators are required to offer all three.
