Gambling should be fun, not trouble.
Responsible play is a concept that helps players maintain control, avoid addiction, and make informed choices.
On this page, we explain how to play safely, where to set boundaries and where to turn for help if the game gets out of control.
What is responsible play?
This is an approach where:
- The game is perceived as entertainment, not a way to make money
- Amount and time limits used
- Supports mindful behavior and failure at the first sign of addiction
- There is a possibility of self-restraint or self-exclusion
Signs of problem play:
- Constant thoughts about the game
- Attempts to recoup after losing
- Hiding the game from family or friends
- Games for money intended for other purposes
- Feeling guilty, anxious or irritated after a session
If you recognize yourself, you should pause and seek support.
Monitoring tools:
- Deposit and loss limits - can be set at most casinos
- Time Limits - Reminders or Automatic Logoff
- Activity history - for behavior analysis
- Self-exclusion - temporary or permanent
