Responsible Gambling

Poker should be entertainment you can afford — never a source of income or a way to recover losses. If it ever stops being fun, it's time to pause.

Play within your limits

• Set a budget before you play and treat it as the cost of entertainment.
• Only deposit money you can comfortably afford to lose.
• Set deposit, loss and session-time limits in your account tools.
• Never chase losses or borrow money to play.
• Take regular breaks and don't play when stressed, tired or upset.
• Keep gambling in balance with the rest of your life.

Warning signs of problem gambling

• Spending more time or money than you intended.
• Chasing losses to “get even.”
• Hiding or lying about how much you play.
• Gambling to escape stress or low mood.
• Borrowing money or neglecting responsibilities to play.
