Tips for Safe Gambling

Set Your Allowance

Pick a spend you can lose and don't reach past it.

Watch the Hours

Give the session a clock so it doesn't run away.

Skip the Chase

A losing spin stays lost. A bigger bet won't undo it.

Take a Breather

Regular pauses keep your thinking clear.

Have you gone back another day to try to win back money you lost?

4

Have you borrowed money or sold anything to get money to gamble?

5
