Responsible Gambling

Setting Gambling Limits

Too much of a good thing can be intoxicating, and gambling is something that’s best enjoyed in moderation. Before playing at a casino, online or land-based, you should define a bankroll and stick to it. 

Reputable online casinos allow you to set daily, weekly, or monthly limits for your deposits. It’s also an excellent idea to set loss limits so you don’t go overboard and start chasing your losses.

 

Another limit many people forget is the time limit. If you just play without planning when you’ll stop, you won’t see the time go by, and it may lead to spending more time gambling than is healthy.

 

The way to set these limits at an online casino can vary, but you’ll usually have a responsible gambling tab in your dashboard, if the casino didn’t offer you to set limits upon registration. In this tab, the casino will let you set all the limits previously mentioned. If it’s not enough, you can resort to self-exclusion to protect yourself.

Responsible Gambling Tools and Features

Online casinos offer a wide variety of tools and features to help players keep their gambling healthy, and it’s not only for those with a problem. Most online casinos will let you set deposit limits so that you can manage your bankroll. 

 

You’ll also have the possibility to ask for cool-off periods when you think you deserve a break or request self-exclusion if things start getting overwhelming. 

 

Responsible tools can also help you while you’re playing with wagering limits to prevent you from betting too much, or impose time limits to keep a healthy lifestyle. Moreover, you can also sometimes enable a reality check feature, which is a pop-up appearing at regular intervals to remind you how long you’ve been playing. 

 

Whether you’re struggling with gambling or not, these tools can help you keep your gambling healthy, and you should use them to ensure a pleasant experience all the way.

Responsible Gambling Tips

Do you want to play responsibly and keep your casino experience light and fun? Then these gambling tips are here for you!

• Don’t Gamble Under The Influence

If you want to gamble responsibly, never play when you’re under the influence of alcohol or drugs. These products can often lead to poor decision-making, especially with money.

• Take Regular Breaks

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Don’t spend a single minute more gambling. Go outside, take a deep breath, see your friends or your family. Just like work, it’s essential to take regular breaks to clear up your mind and not let the game take over. 

 

The duration and regularity of the breaks will depend on you, but you should always have some, even if this break means being done for the day.

• Don’t Isolate Yourself

Gambling is so gripping it’s easy to lose touch with the real world and significant others. Don’t go down that road; keep healthy communication with your family about your gambling. They’re here to support you and help you fight gambling addiction. 

 

If you have no one to talk to, you can still reach out to one of the support organizations we’ve mentioned or go to a group meeting near you. 

• Never Chase The Money You’ve Lost

Have you lost money? Remember, it’s part of the game, and the house always wins, so don’t go in a frenzy betting increasingly insane amounts in the hopes of cutting back on your losses; you’ll simply keep digging the hole you’ve created for yourself.

• Set A Budget and Respect It

Gambling is entertainment, not a miracle solution to your problems, so you should never expect to solve them by winning a jackpot. Hence, the vital need for a gambling “budget” (a bankroll). 

 

The money you use to gamble shouldn’t prevent you from paying your rent, buying a gift, or paying your bills. It should be disposable income; keep this money separate from your expenses.
