Know Your Limits

1. Know the Rules of Responsible Gambling

Responsible gambling isn’t just a buzzword. It’s about playing smart, self-awareness, and coming back to reality when things are getting out of hand. Here’s the playbook:

Set Your Limits: Only bet what you’re ready to lose. Never chase the win beyond your means.

Time Management: Set your timer. Know when to call it a day.

Don’t Chase Losses: You lost? Don’t try to make it back with one more bet. It’s a trap.

Balance Your Life: Keep your personal life, relationships, and work separate from your betting.

Spot the Signs: Watch for warning signals like financial stress or ignoring responsibilities.

2. Red Flags: When Gambling’s Taking Over

Gambling can get out of hand fast. If you see these signs, it’s time to hit pause:

• Betting more than you can afford to lose.

• Feeling anxious, stressed, or guilty about your bets.

• Borrowing cash or selling your stuff to keep betting.

• Lying to your family or friends about your gambling habits.

• Struggling to stop, even after losing big.

If any of these hit home, don’t ignore it – reach out for help.
