Gambling is not an income plan
Set a spending limit before opening the cashier. The amount must not affect housing, food, loan payments or family needs. Do not borrow to gamble or increase a budget to recover a loss. If control is slipping, stop and ask the operator about limits or self-exclusion.
Chasing losses, concealing expenditure and gambling instead of sleeping or working are reasons to seek support. Gambling Therapy provides international resources; service availability depends on your location.
This publication is for adults only. Local age requirements and gambling restrictions still apply. Do not register with another person’s documents or supply false location information to get around an operator’s eligibility rules.
