📋 Steps

Set a monthly budget you can afford to lose and never cross it

Turn on deposit and loss limits in your account before the first bet

Never chase losses — recovering them with bigger stakes multiplies the problem

Take breaks, set a session length and keep a timer for it

Treat betting as entertainment, never as income

If control slips, use self-exclusion and ask for help immediately

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does responsible gambling mean?

Betting within clear money and time limits so entertainment always stays under control.

Q: How do I set real limits?

Fix the monthly amount first, enable deposit and loss limits, and keep a fixed weekly stop day whatever happens.

Q: When should I stop completely?

When you chase losses, exceed the budget or feel tension — a permanent stop is a strong choice, not a failure.
