✅ Tips for Healthy Gaming
Follow these guidelines to ensure your gaming remains fun and under control.
Set a Budget
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use money intended for essentials like rent, food, or bills.
Set Time Limits
Decide how long you want to play before you start and stick to it. Use alarms or timers to remind yourself.
Take Regular Breaks
Step away from gaming regularly to maintain perspective and avoid getting caught up in the moment.
Don't Chase Losses
Accept losses as part of the game. Never try to win back money by gambling more than planned.
Keep It Social
Gaming should be a social activity. Avoid gambling alone or in isolation for extended periods.
Stay Sober
Avoid gambling when under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as this impairs judgment.
Balance Your Life
Maintain other hobbies and interests. Gaming should be just one form of entertainment among many.
Know the Odds
Understand that the house always has an edge. Gaming is entertainment, not a way to make money.
