How to stay in control
- Set a budget before you play: decide what you can afford to lose and stick to it. Low deposits of $5–$20 make this easier.
- Use casino limit tools: most sites offer deposit, loss and session limits, time-outs and self-exclusion in the account settings.
- Never chase losses: trying to win back money you have lost usually leads to bigger losses.
- Keep it separate: don't gamble with money meant for bills, rent or food, and never borrow to gamble.
- Take breaks: set a time limit for each session and step away regularly.
Warning signs
It may be time to get support if you spend more than you planned, hide your gambling from others, feel anxious or irritable when not playing, or gamble to escape problems.
