Gambling Is Entertainment, Not Income
Every casino game has a built-in house edge. Over time, the house wins. Treat any money you gamble as the cost of entertainment, never as an investment, an income strategy, or a way to recover previous losses.
Ground Rules We Recommend
- Set a strict budget before you play and never exceed it.
- Never gamble with money needed for rent, bills, food, or debt payments.
- Never chase losses. A losing session is a finished session.
- Set time limits. Long sessions erode judgment.
- Never gamble while intoxicated, stressed, or emotionally distressed.
- Use deposit limits, cool-off periods, and self-exclusion tools offered by licensed operators.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose, or borrowing to gamble.
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends.
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to stop.
- Gambling to escape problems or relieve anxiety and depression.
- Neglecting work, studies, or relationships because of gambling.
