Play within your limits.

Set limits before playing

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Set a clear spending limit and a time limit before opening the casino. Do not borrow to gamble or use money reserved for bills.

Know when to take a break

Chasing losses, hiding spending, borrowing money or gambling longer than intended are reasons to stop and seek support. Gambling is not an income source. There is no strategy that guarantees you will recover losses.

Use the operator’s safeguards

Ask casino support about deposit limits, time-outs, account closure and self-exclusion. Availability and procedures must be checked with the operator. Consider blocking gambling sites and asking your bank about gambling-payment blocks.

Get support

Talk to someone you trust. Gambling Therapy provides international support at gamblingtherapy.org. In South Africa, the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation provides resources at responsiblegambling.org.za. If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.
