Before you play
- Choose a fixed entertainment budget you can afford to lose.
- Set a time limit and decide what will end the session.
- Do not play when upset, impaired, or trying to recover a loss.
Warning signs
Stepping past your budget, hiding play from people close to you, borrowing money, or feeling unable to stop are signals to pause and seek support. Self-exclusion and account limits are useful tools—not failures.
