Responsible Gambling Tips
Here are some tips to help you gamble with responsibility.
Research Expenses
It can be hard to keep track of money in the heat of the moment. That’s why it’s important to set a gambling budget, one that still gives you plenty of cash for your normal expenses, and stick to it. If you go through all the money, it’s time to stop.
Set a Time Limit
Whether you’re winning of losing, time seems to run at a different pace when you’re gambling. Make sure that you set a time limit for your gambling, making time for other exciting or important activities.
Don't Chase Losses
Some days you’re up and some days you’re down. As long as you stay within your gambling budget, it should be fine. It’s important you avoid gambling more in the hope of making back lost money.
Don't Play With Money
You Don't Have
Whether it’s using a credit card or borrowing from friends and family, never play money you don’t have, if you can’t afford it, don’t gamble.
Borrowing Costs
If gambling becomes an escape during depression or hard times, it’s more likely to become a problem. Don’t fall back on it to solve your issues, when times are tough.
However, even with all the care in the world, for some people, addictive gambling may still become a problem.
You may have a gambling addiction problem if you:
#1
Feel the need to be secretive about your gambling. You might feel the need to gamble in secret or lie about how much you gamble, feeling others won’t understand or that you will surprise them with a big win.
#2
You have trouble controlling your gambling. Once you start gambling, you can’t stop and feel compelled to gamble until you’ve spent all your money, upping your bets in a bid to win lost money back.
#3
Your family and friends are worried about you. Denial keeps problem gambling going. If friends and family are worried, listen to them carefully. It’s not a sign of weakness to ask for help.
Gambling addiction—also known as pathological gambling, compulsive gambling or gambling disorder—is an impulse-control disorder. If you’re a compulsive gambler, you can’t control the impulse to gamble, even when it has negative consequences for you or your loved ones.
