Every person who chooses to place a wager or bet should be aware of their own limitations, whether psychological, physical, or financial. It is why there are pamphlets in every casino that discuss “when the fun stops” and how to “set your limits.” Self-exclusion policies are also ways for bettors to set parameters with the assistance of casinos and online operators.

There are many aspects to responsible gambling, and while some rely on the customer’s own awareness of their habits and propensity for dangerous behavior, all practices should be initiated and proliferated by the gambling world itself.

Some tips for safe gambling : 

Remember that casino gambling is a form of entertainment. It is not a way to make money. The odds are always in the casino’s favour.

Set a spending limit. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. This money should not be needed for basic living expenses, such as food etc.

Set a time limit for your play.

Don’t try and win back money you have lost.

When you run out of money, don’t borrow from family, friends or others so you can keep gambling.

Balance gambling with other leisure activities. Gambling shouldn’t be the only activity you do in your spare time.

Know your own limits.

Don’t gamble when you’re depressed or feeling low. Decision-making can be more difficult when you’re stressed or upset. Make sure you only gamble when you’re feeling clear headed.

Look for the odds and payouts on games you are playing so you are fully informed.

Take a break.
