PLAYER WELL-BEING
Set limits before play begins
Use time, spending and access controls early. The goal is to keep decisions deliberate and prevent losses from driving the next action.
Start with practical limits
Money limit
Use an amount that does not affect bills, savings or essential spending.
Time limit
Choose a stop time before starting and take scheduled breaks.
Loss limit
Do not increase stakes or deposits to recover previous losses.
Access limit
Use cooling-off or self-exclusion tools when needed.
Warning signs
- Hiding time or spending from people you trust.
- Borrowing money, missing payments or using essential funds.
- Feeling pressure to recover a loss immediately.
- Continuing despite stress, sleep problems or conflict.
When to stop
Pause access, remove saved payment methods and contact a trusted support service when limits are repeatedly broken. In an urgent mental-health situation, contact local emergency or crisis services.
