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 will explain how to play safely, where to set boundaries and where to turn for help if the game gets out of control.
What is a responsible game?
This is an approach in which:
- The game is perceived as entertainment, not a way to earn money
- Amount and time limits are used
- Conscious behavior and failure are maintained at the first sign of dependence
- There is the possibility of self-restraint or self-exclusion
Signs of a problematic game:
- Constant thoughts about the game
- Attempts to recoup after losing
- Hiding the game from family or friends
- Money games for other purposes
- Feeling guilty, anxious or irritated after a session
If you recognize yourself, it is worth pausing and seeking support.
Control tools:
- Deposit and loss limits - can be set up in most casinos
- Time Limits - Reminders or Automatic Exit
- Activity History - for Behavior Analysis
- Self-exclusion - temporary or permanent

Tips for responsible play:
Excitement is possible without risk - when you control the game, not you.
Follow the principles of responsible play and enjoy yourself safely.
