Entertainment with limits

Play responsibly

Gaming should remain entertainment. It should not interfere with essential expenses, relationships, work or wellbeing.

Set a spending limit

Use only disposable entertainment money after every essential commitment is covered.

Set a time limit

Choose a stop time before the session and take regular breaks.

Create stopping rules

Stop when a spending or time limit is reached, regardless of the result.

Know the warning signs

Act early when gaming becomes difficult to hide, afford or stop.

Ask for support

Use stronger account controls and involve someone you trust when needed.

Keep gaming in its proper place

Choose an amount that comes only from your entertainment budget. Do not use money reserved for rent, bills, food, savings, debt repayment or other essential commitments.

Decide how long a session will last before it begins. Avoid extending a session to recover a previous loss. Random results do not become due because of what happened earlier.
