Responsible Gaming
Online casino gaming should be fun and entertaining. Learn how to play responsibly, recognize warning signs, and access help when needed.
18+ Only - Gambling Can Be Addictive
You must be 18 years or older to play at online casinos. Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money. If you feel you have a gambling problem, seek help immediately.

Play for Entertainment
Treat casino gaming as entertainment, like going to the movies. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
Set a Budget
Decide how much you can afford to spend before you start playing. Never exceed this amount, regardless of wins or losses.
Set Time Limits
Decide in advance how long you'll play. Use alarms or timers to remind you. Take regular breaks every 30-60 minutes.
Never Chase Losses
If you lose your budget, stop playing. Never try to "win back" losses by depositing more money. Accept losses as the cost of entertainment.
Don't Play Under Influence
Never gamble when you're drunk, emotional, depressed, or under the influence of drugs. This impairs judgment and decision-making.
Balance with Other Activities
Don't let gambling interfere with work, relationships, or hobbies. Maintain a healthy balance in your life.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
Regularly exceeding your budget or time limits
Trying to win back money you've lost
Taking loans or using credit cards to gamble
Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
Missing work, school, or family events to gamble
Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed about gambling
Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
Constantly thinking about gambling or planning next session
If you recognize 3 or more of these signs, please seek professional help immediately.
