Here are some key tips to help you approach gambling responsibly:
View gambling as a source of entertainment, not a source of income.
Never gamble with money you can't afford to lose.
Set a monetary limit for each gaming session in advance.
Avoid chasing your losses.
Take regular breaks between gaming sessions.
Avoid gambling while under the influence of alcohol.
Refrain from gambling when feeling depressed, angry, or upset.
Try to play from a position of knowledge.
Don't let gambling interfere with your daily responsibilities.
Ensure that gambling is not your sole interest or hobby.
Keep track of the time and money spent on gambling.
If you feel you have a gambling problem, self-exclude.
Set a time limit before starting to gamble, and stick to it. Set an alarm.
Do not use gambling as an alternative source of income or a way to pay off debts.

The following questions can help determine when your gambling habit is causing concern:
Do you avoid work or school to gamble?
Do you gamble to escape from life problems (boredom, unhappy family life, etc.)?
When you run out of money while gambling, do you feel lost and desperate, wanting to find money to gamble again as soon as possible?
After a loss, do you feel the need to try to recover your losses as soon as possible?
Have you ever lied, stolen, or borrowed to get money for gambling or to pay gambling debts?
Have you ever lied to hide the amount of money or time spent on gambling?
Do you gamble until your last pennies are gone, even if it means not having money for bus fare home or food?
Have you gone into debt because of gambling?
Have others criticized your gambling behavior?
Do you resist spending "gambling money" on anything else?
Have you lost interest in your family, friends, or other interests/hobbies?
Do you prioritize gambling over your family and loved ones?
Are conflicts, resentments, or disappointments driving you to continue playing?
Do you feel depression or suicidal tendencies because of gambling?
If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, contact: BeGambleAware, Gamblers Anonymous, GamCare, and Gam-Anon.
