Responsible gaming checklist

• Decide in advance how often you will play and how much money and time you will spend.
• Decide in advance the point you will set yourself to stop, then stick to it. The stopping point might be, for example, when you have reached the spending limit you have set yourself or when you have a spent a certain amount of time playing.
• Bear in mind that sometimes, responsible gambling is making a decision not to gamble at all.

Always remember – a person who gambles responsibly:

• Gambles for fun, not to make money or to escape problems;
• Understands that they are very unlikely to win in the long run;
• Does not try to ‘chase’ or win back losses;
• Only ever gambles with money set aside for entertainment and never uses money intended for rent, bills and food;
• Does not borrow money to gamble;
• Does not let gambling affect their relationships with family and friends.
