Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be entertainment, not a source of income or stress
Signs of Problem Gambling
- Betting more than you can afford to lose
- Chasing losses \u2014 increasing bets to recover previous losses
- Borrowing money or selling assets to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, relationships, or responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Lying to family or friends about how much you bet
- Being unable to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
If you recognize any of these patterns, please seek support.
How to Gamble Responsibly
Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start. Never exceed this amount.
Decide in advance how long you will gamble. Use sportsbook time-limit tools if available.
Losing is part of gambling. Increasing bets to recover losses leads to bigger losses.
Alcohol and drugs impair judgment. Never bet when intoxicated.
Step away regularly. If gambling stops being fun, stop.
Self-Exclusion Tools
Most licensed sportsbooks offer self-exclusion features:
- Deposit limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly maximum deposits.
- Loss limits: Cap the amount you can lose in a period.
- Session time limits: Automatic reminders or logouts after a set time.
- Self-exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account.
- Reality checks: Pop-up reminders showing how long you've been playing.
