Our Commitment

- Promoting awareness about responsible gaming practices
- Providing resources and tools for safe gaming
- Supporting users who may be experiencing gaming-related problems
- Partnering only with licensed and regulated gaming platforms
- Educating our community about the importance of setting limits
Gaming Guidelines
Keep Gaming Fun and Safe:
- Set Time Limits: Decide in advance how much time you want to spend gaming
- Set Financial Limits: Only use money you can afford to lose
- Take Regular Breaks: Step away from gaming regularly to maintain perspective
- Don’t Chase Losses: Accept losses as part of the gaming experience
- Keep It Balanced: Gaming should not interfere with work, family, or social activities
- Stay Sober: Avoid gaming when under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Warning Signs
Recognize the warning signs of problematic gaming:
- Spending more time or money on gaming than planned
- Gaming to escape problems or negative emotions
- Lying about gaming activities to family or friends
- Chasing losses with larger amounts
- Borrowing money to fund gaming activities
- Neglecting responsibilities, work, or relationships
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not gaming
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back on gaming
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help.
Self-Assessment Tools
Ask yourself these questions honestly:
- Do I spend more time gaming than I intended?
- Do I feel the need to game with increasing amounts of money?
- Have I tried to cut back on gaming but been unable to?
- Do I feel restless or irritable when trying to cut down?
- Do I game as a way to escape problems or feelings?
- Have I lied to family members about my gaming activities?
- Have I committed illegal acts to finance gaming?
- Have I jeopardized relationships or opportunities because of gaming?
If you answered “yes” to several of these questions, consider seeking professional help or using self-exclusion tools.
Available Tools and Resources
Most reputable gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly spending limits
- Time Limits: Restrict how long you can play in a session
- Loss Limits: Set maximum amounts you’re willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about time spent gaming
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block access to gaming platforms

We encourage all users to familiarize themselves with these tools and use them proactively.
