Gaming should be fun. Real-money gaming involves financial risk – these tips help keep play healthy.

Healthy habits

  • Set a time limit before you start and take regular breaks.
  • Never treat gambling as a way to make money or solve financial problems.
  • Do not chase losses.
  • Avoid gambling when you are stressed, upset or under the influence of alcohol.
  • Balance gaming with other activities and time with friends and family.
