Decide your boundaries first
Before opening a game, decide whether spending money on gambling fits your circumstances at all. Keep money for bills, food, savings, and other commitments out of play. Choosing not to play is always an option.
If you choose to play, set a spending boundary and a finish time before the session begins. Write them down somewhere visible. Do not increase them in response to a loss, a win, or an offer.
Use the controls available to you
Check the account settings for deposit limits, reminders, time-outs, or self-exclusion options. Read how each control works, including when changes take effect. Set a separate timer if you need a reminder to stop.
A limit is a boundary, not a target you need to reach. You can end a session before either the time or spending boundary is reached.
Keep account access private
Use a unique password and enable additional sign-in verification if offered. Keep passwords and one-time codes private. Open account support through the site’s own navigation rather than following an unexpected message asking for your credentials.
Make stopping straightforward
When your finish time arrives, close the game. Avoid treating another deposit or another session as a way to recover money already lost. If you find yourself repeatedly changing your boundaries, take a break and consider the account’s time-out or exclusion tools.
