Responsible Gambling

RECOGNIZE PROBLEM GAMBLING

Warning signs include:

• Betting more than you can afford to lose
• Chasing losses by placing additional bets
• Borrowing money to gamble
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities
• Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
• Lying about the extent of your gambling

SET PERSONAL LIMITS

• Set a Budget: Decide on a gambling budget before betting and stick to it.
• Essentials First: Never gamble with money needed for rent, bills, or food.
• Time Limits: Set strict time limits for gambling activities.
• Take Breaks: Step away regularly to maintain perspective.

SELF-EXCLUSION

Many states and bookmakers offer self-exclusion programs that allow you to voluntarily ban yourself from gambling. Visit your state's gaming commission website or your bookmaker's responsible gambling page for more information.
