If You Bet, Know Your Limits

· Know the Game: Make sure you understand the odds and house edge. Over the long run, the house always wins. 


· Make Your Plan: Know how much you’re willing to lose and how long you want to play – set limits of time and money. 


· Risk: Know and respect your tolerance for risk. 


· Money: Never borrow money to gamble. Don’t gamble money you can’t afford to lose. 


· Team Up: Consider teaming up with a friend to help each other stick to your personal betting plan. 


· Time: Set a timer on your phone to keep track of time spent betting. 


· Balance: Balance gambling with other activities. 


· Entertainment: Treat gambling as a form of entertainment and not a way to make money. 


· Take A Break: When gambling is no longer fun, take a break. 


· Expect to Lose: Hope to win but expect to lose. Remember, you’re playing to have a good time – never chase your losses.   

WHAT IS RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING?

Gambling responsibly means taking steps to reduce risks or harms to yourself that can occur when gambling. There are those that can get themselves into trouble financially, for others their gambling can cause issues with friends and family, or some may drink too much and/or use other substances while they play. It’s important to remember that all gambling activities have risk and to enjoy a safer playing experience, you must be aware of the risks and how you can minimize them. Using strategies when you gamble like setting a budget before you leave your house, taking breaks, and educating yourself on how the games work are just a few tips on being the safest and smartest player that you can be.
