Forwins – Free Tips Responsible Gambling Tips
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose – gamble with money that you set aside for fun, like going out for drinks or to the cinema. Never use money that you need for important things like rent, bills or food.
- Don’t chase losses –don’t try and get money back by betting more and going over your limit. This usually leads to bigger losses.
- Take a break – if gambling is no longer fun then take a break.
- Set a money limit in advance – set a limit on how much money you are willing to lose before you bet or play. If you win, enjoy the money but if you lose you must quit and walk away.
- Set a time limit in advance – set a time limit for how much time you can afford to spend gambling and stop when you reach it.
- Never put gambling before friends or family – don’t put gambling before other social activities or seeing friends and family.
- Gamble for fun and not a way of making money – think of gambling as an entertainment expense – like going out for dinner or to the cinema. Gambling establishments are set up to take in more money than they pay out.
- Don’t gamble if you are angry, upset or depressed – you can’t make good decisions if you aren’t in the right frame of mind.
- Don’t drink or take drugs when gambling – decisions that are made under the influence are often regretted after so don’t mix gambling with drugs or alcohol.
