Responsible gambling means enjoying gambling as a form of entertainment while maintaining control over the time and money you spend. It involves understanding the risks, setting limits, and knowing when to stop.
Decide how much money and time you can afford to spend before you start gambling.
Regular breaks help you maintain perspective and avoid impulsive decisions.
Don't let gambling interfere with relationships, work, or other activities.
If gambling stops being fun, reach out for support from professionals or loved ones.
