Playing can relax, stimulate, promote community or simply bring pleasure. But playing can also be addictive.
Consider the following tips for responsible gambling:
- Set a time and money limit that suits your circumstances.
- Never borrow money to gamble.
- Always put your family, friends and work in front of gambling.
- Never gamble when you feel bad or have problems. Gambling may distract you in the short term, but does not solve problems. Rather, you risk gambling itself becoming a problem.
- Don't try to win back money by placing new bets.
- Keep in mind that all gambling is primarily rewarding for the gambling industry. There are no winning systems that could improve the odds in your favor, because the result of typical gambling is pure chance.
