Responsible Gambling Tips

If you’re concerned that gambling is becoming
more than a game for you, try using these guidelines
to moderate your play.

Think of the money you lose as the cost of
your entertainment. Consider any money you
win a bonus.
Set a dollar limit and stick to it.
Set a time limit and stick to it. Leave when
you reach your limit, whether you’re winning
or losing.
Understand that you’ll probably lose, and
accept the loss as part of the game.
Don’t borrow money to gamble.
Don’t let gambling interfere with or become
a substitute for family, friends or work.
Don’t chase losses. Chances are you’ll lose
even more trying to recoup your losses.
Don’t use gambling as a way to cope with
emotional or physical pain.

Know the warning signs of problem gambling.
