What is Responsible Gambling?
Responsible gambling means enjoying gambling as a form of entertainment while staying in control. It involves understanding the risks, setting limits, and knowing when to stop. Gambling should never be seen as a way to make money or solve financial problems.
Tips for Responsible Gambling
Set a Budget
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Set a strict budget before you start and never exceed it.
Set Time Limits
Decide how much time you'll spend gambling before you start. Take regular breaks and don't let gambling interfere with daily activities.
Never Chase Losses
Chasing losses leads to bigger losses. Accept that losing is part of gambling and walk away when you've reached your limit.
Avoid Gambling Under the Influence
Alcohol and drugs impair judgment. Never gamble when intoxicated or emotionally distressed.
Balance Your Life
Gambling should be just one of many entertainment activities. Make sure it doesn't take time away from family, work, or other hobbies.
Understand the Odds
Know that the house always has an edge. Our picks are analyses, not guarantees. Past performance does not predict future results.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you or someone you know exhibits any of these signs, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Spending more money or time on gambling than intended
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down on gambling
- Repeated unsuccessful attempts to control or stop gambling
- Being preoccupied with gambling or planning the next gambling session
- Gambling when feeling distressed, guilty, anxious, or depressed
- Chasing losses by returning to gamble after losing money
- Lying to family members or others to hide gambling activity
- Jeopardizing or losing significant relationships, jobs, or opportunities
- Relying on others for money to relieve financial situations caused by gambling
- Neglecting personal responsibilities, hygiene, or health
Self-Exclusion Options
If you need a break from gambling, consider self-exclusion. Many states offer self-exclusion programs that allow you to voluntarily ban yourself from casinos and online gambling sites.
