Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognize these warning signs that gambling may be becoming a problem:
- Spending more money and time on gambling than you can afford
- Gambling to escape problems or relieve feelings of anxiety or depression
- Lying to family or friends about how much you gamble

Tips for Responsible Gambling
Set a Budget
Decide how much money you can afford to lose before you start gambling. Never gamble with money you need for bills, rent, or other essentials.
Set Time Limits
Decide in advance how long you will gamble and stick to it. Use casino time limit features when available.
Never Chase Losses
Accept that losing is part of gambling. Trying to win back losses usually leads to bigger losses.
Don't Gamble When Emotional
Avoid gambling when you're upset, angry, or depressed. Emotional decisions often lead to poor choices.
Take Regular Breaks
Step away from gambling regularly to assess your spending and state of mind.

All licensed casinos offer tools to help you stay in control. Use these features:
- Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit.
