Responsible gambling guidelines
If you're concerned that gambling is becoming more than a game for you, try using these guidelines to moderate your play.
* Think of the money you lose as the cost of your entertainment. Consider any money you win a bonus.
* Set a dollar limit and stick to it.
* Set a time limit and stick to it. Leave when you reach your limit, whether you're winning or losing.
* Understand that you'll probably lose and accept the loss as part of the game.
* Don't borrow money to gamble.
* Don't let gambling interfere with or become a substitute for family, friends or work.
* Don't chase losses. Chances are you'll lose even more trying to recoup your losses.
* Don't use gambling as a way to cope with emotional or physical pain.
* Know the warning signs of problem gambling.
