Responsible Gaming

Practical information about setting limits, protecting your account and maintaining a balanced approach to online gaming.

About Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming means making informed decisions, understanding the risks involved and keeping gaming within limits that are comfortable and affordable.

Online gaming involving money can result in financial losses. No game, prediction or promotional offer should be considered a guaranteed way to make money.

The purpose of this page is to provide general guidance that can help users approach gaming carefully and responsibly.

Responsible Gaming Principles

Set a Budget

Decide how much you can comfortably afford to spend before participating and avoid exceeding that amount.

Know the Risk

Understand that outcomes can be uncertain and that losses are possible.

Take Breaks

Take regular breaks and avoid spending excessive time continuously playing.

Never Chase Losses

Do not increase spending in an attempt to recover money that has already been lost.

Protect Your Account

Keep passwords, OTPs and other account credentials private and secure.

Keep It Balanced

Gaming should not interfere with work, studies, relationships, sleep or other daily responsibilities.

Setting a Personal Spending Limit

Before participating, consider setting a fixed spending amount based on your personal financial situation.

  1. Decide on an amount you can afford to lose.
  2. Never use essential household or living expenses.
  3. Avoid using borrowed money for gaming.
  4. Stop when your predetermined limit is reached.
  5. Do not increase the limit because of a losing session.
Important

A spending limit should be treated as a maximum, not as an amount that needs to be used.

Manage Your Gaming Time

Managing time is an important part of responsible participation. Long or frequent sessions can make it harder to maintain a balanced routine.

  • Set a reasonable time limit before starting.
  • Take regular breaks.
  • Avoid playing when tired or distracted.
  • Do not allow gaming to affect sleep.
  • Keep normal work, study and family commitments a priority.
  • Stop playing if you feel frustrated or pressured.

Avoid Chasing Losses

Trying to recover previous losses by increasing the amount of money or time spent can lead to further losses.

A previous result does not guarantee a future result. Continuing to participate simply because you want to recover money already lost can make financial risk worse.

Remember

Losses should be accepted as possible outcomes rather than treated as something that must immediately be recovered.

Avoid Emotional Decisions

Avoid participating when you are angry, upset, stressed, tired or under financial pressure.

  • Do not play to change your mood.
  • Do not increase spending because of frustration.
  • Take a break after an unexpected loss.
  • Make financial decisions when calm and clear-minded.

Financial Safety

Gaming-related spending should never interfere with essential financial responsibilities.

  • Do not use rent or household expense money.
  • Do not use money required for food or essential bills.
  • Avoid borrowing money to participate.
  • Do not use another person’s payment account without permission.
  • Keep records of your own spending where appropriate.
  • Stop if gaming begins creating financial difficulties.

Account & Payment Security

  • Use a strong and unique password.
  • Never share your password with another person.
  • Never share OTP or verification codes.
  • Check the website address before entering account details.
  • Avoid installing applications from unknown sources.
  • Do not provide banking credentials to unofficial contacts.
  • Log out when using a shared device.

Warning Signs to Watch For

Consider taking a break and seeking appropriate support if any of the following situations begin occurring:

  • Spending more money than originally planned.
  • Spending more time gaming than intended.
  • Trying repeatedly to recover previous losses.
  • Hiding gaming activity or spending from people close to you.
  • Feeling stressed or upset because of gaming results.
  • Gaming begins interfering with work, studies or relationships.
  • Using money intended for essential expenses.

Taking a Break Is Always an Option

If gaming no longer feels enjoyable or becomes difficult to control, stepping away can be a useful decision. A break can provide time to review spending, routines and personal priorities.

Users should only participate where permitted by the laws and regulations applicable to them.

Users are responsible for checking the legal age, restrictions and other requirements that apply in their location before participating.

If online gaming involving money is restricted or prohibited where you live, do not participate.

Need Help?

If gaming is causing financial, emotional or personal difficulties, consider speaking with a trusted person or an appropriate professional support service.

If you believe you may be losing control over your gaming habits, taking a complete break and seeking independent support can be an appropriate next step.

Important

Do not rely on gaming as a source of guaranteed income. Gaming outcomes are uncertain and financial losses are possible.

Responsible Gaming Reminder

Responsible gaming means staying within your limits, understanding the risks and keeping gaming as an entertainment activity rather than depending on it for financial support.

Set limits, take breaks, protect your account and stop whenever participation becomes uncomfortable or difficult to control.
