Responsible Gaming
Real-money games are entertainment, not income. They carry financial risk and can be addictive. Here is how to stay safe and in control.
Three honest truths
- The house has the edge. Over time, chance-based games are designed to favour the operator, not the player.
- No trick guarantees wins. Random outcomes cannot be predicted. "100% winning" claims are scams.
- Losses can add up fast. Short rounds make it easy to spend far more than intended.
Set limits that protect you
Budget
Decide the maximum you can afford to lose before you start — and never top it up mid-session.
Time
Use a timer. Take regular breaks and step away when it ends.
Never chase
Chasing losses with bigger stakes is the fastest route to bigger losses.
Warning signs of a problem
- Spending more money or time than you planned.
- Borrowing money or hiding your play from others.
- Feeling anxious, irritable or low when not playing.
- Chasing losses to "win it back".
Practical self-help tools
- Use any in-app deposit or time limits the app provides.
- Remove saved payment methods to add friction.
- Consider a self-exclusion or cooling-off period if offered.

How do I set a limit?
Decide a fixed budget and time before you start, treat it as entertainment spending, and stop when you reach either limit — win or lose.
