Tips for Safer Gambling

💰

Set a Budget

Decide how much money you can afford to lose before you start, and stick to it no matter what.

⏰

Set Time Limits

Plan your gambling sessions and take regular breaks. Use casino tools to set session time limits.

🚫

Never Chase Losses

Accept losses as part of gambling. Never try to win back money you've lost by placing larger bets.

🍺

Stay Sober

Avoid gambling when under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It impairs judgment and leads to poor decisions.

📱

Use Responsible Tools

Most licensed casinos offer deposit limits, session limits, reality checks, and self-exclusion tools.

🛑

Self-Exclude if Needed

If gambling is getting out of control, use the casino's self-exclusion feature or contact your state regulator.

State Self-Exclusion Programs

Each state with legal gambling offers a self-exclusion program that allows you to voluntarily ban yourself from gambling at licensed facilities and online platforms. This is a powerful tool to help those who struggle with problem gambling.
