Responsible gambling
Walk Away
Seven rules we would give a friend before they sit down at any table, online or off.
The Seven Rules
Set the budget before you play
Decide what you can spend on the night and treat it as spent.
Stakes are the price of the evening
Think of every bet as paying for entertainment. Winnings are a bonus.
Never chase a loss
Raising stakes to win back money is how small losses become large ones.
Put a clock on it
Set a timer. Stop when it rings, win or lose.
Play clear-headed
Skip the session when you are tired or have been drinking.
Use the limit tools
Licensed casinos let you set deposit limits and take time out from your account. Switch those tools on before you need them.
