Set Limits Before You Play
- Budget. Decide how much you can lose this month without it affecting bills, food or family. Treat it as spent.
- Time. Set an alarm. Crash games and live betting run without natural breaks.
- No chasing. Never raise stakes to win back losses.
- Separate money. Don't gamble with borrowed money, savings or money meant for someone else.
- Bonuses. Don't let wagering requirements push you into betting more than you planned.
