Responsible Gaming and Support Resources

1. Principles of Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming means maintaining control over the frequency and amounts spent, while remembering that games of chance are solely entertainment.

Key Ideas:

• Only use funds you can afford to lose.
• Keep these games as a secondary entertainment activity.
• Do not rely on lotteries to solve financial difficulties.
• Be transparent about your participation.

2. Setting Limits

Setting clear limits in advance helps maintain balance.

Time: define how much time you want to spend on gaming.
Budget: set a monthly cap.
Breaks: regularly step back to reassess your participation.

3. Warning Signs

Early awareness helps prevent excess.

• Spending more than planned
• Trying to recover losses
• Feeling stressed or guilty
• Hiding your activity
• Allowing gaming to affect work or personal life

4. Supporting a Loved One
