Gambling Should Stay Entertainment
Gambling is a form of entertainment, not a way to make money. Every bet carries a risk of losing, and bonuses do not change that. These simple rules help keep play under control:
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, never with money meant for bills, rent or debts.
- Set a budget and a time limit before you start, and stop when you reach either one.
- Never chase losses by depositing more to win back what you have lost.
- Avoid gambling when you are stressed, upset or under the influence of alcohol.
- Take regular breaks and balance gambling with other activities.
- Remember that wagering requirements can make bonus money hard to withdraw.
Warning Signs to Watch For
It may be time to take a break or seek help if you:
- spend more money or time gambling than you planned;
- borrow money or sell possessions to gamble;
- hide your gambling from family or friends;
- feel anxious, irritable or low when you are not gambling;
- gamble to escape problems or difficult feelings.
