Responsible Gaming

THE 10 RULES OF RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING

Keep the following in mind to ensure your gambling is kept fun:

If you choose to gamble – do it for entertainment purposes only
Treat the money you lose as the cost of your entertainment – and any winnings as a bonus
Set a time limit and stick to it – stop playing at that time, whether or not you are winning
Set a budget and stick to it – decide what you can afford to lose and how much you want to spend
Expect to lose – the odds are against you and loss is part of the game
Be aware of the signs of problem gambling – education is the best prevention
Make it a rule not to gamble on credit – never borrow money to play
Create balance in your life – gambling should never interfere with or substitute for friends, family, work or other activities
Never chase lost money – the chances are that the more you try to recoup your losses, the larger your losses will be
Make sure you are playing for fun – not out of necessity, habit, or to cope with emotional or physical issues

Ask yourself the following questions:

Is gambling interfering with your work or other responsibilities?
Are you gambling more than you can afford to lose?
Have you borrowed money or sold anything to gamble?
Are you trying to make up for previous gambling losses?
Have you needed to gamble with larger amounts of money to get the same level of excitement?
Are you recovering from an addictive disorder?
Do you gamble under the influence of alcohol or other substances?
Have you ever gambled to escape worry, trouble or boredom?
Has gambling caused you any health problems, including stress or anxiety?
Has your gambling caused any financial problems for you or your family?
If you have answered yes to any of these questions, it may indicate that you may have an issue with compulsive gambling.

Should this be the case, we recommend that you are honest with yourself and seek the relevant support to address any issues.
