Responsible Gaming
Enjoy gaming as entertainment, understand your limits, and make responsible decisions every time you play.
Gaming should remain an enjoyable activity. Set your own limits and make sure gaming does not interfere with your everyday responsibilities, personal life, work, study or sleep.
Play for Entertainment
Online games are designed to provide entertainment and recreation. Gaming should not be treated as a guaranteed way to make money. Results can vary, and there is always a possibility of losing money in games involving real-money play.
Only use an amount that you can comfortably afford to lose and never use essential household, education, savings or borrowed money for gaming.
Simple Responsible Gaming Tips
Following a few simple habits can help keep gaming enjoyable and under control.
Never Chase Losses
Losing money can be frustrating, but trying to recover losses by immediately playing more or increasing your spending can make the situation worse. Accept the result, stop playing and take some time away from the game.
Keep Gaming Balanced
Gaming should fit around your normal life rather than replace it. Make sure your work, education, family time, relationships, sleep and other responsibilities remain a priority.
- Do not allow gaming to interfere with your daily routine.
- Avoid playing when you are angry, stressed or emotionally upset.
- Take a break if you notice yourself playing for longer than planned.
- Do not borrow money to continue gaming.
- Never chase previous losses by increasing your spending.
When Should You Take a Break?
It may be time to step away from gaming if you notice that you are spending more time or money than planned, hiding your gaming activity, feeling stressed about losses, or allowing gaming to affect your daily responsibilities.
If gaming is becoming difficult to control, stop playing and consider talking with someone you trust or seeking professional support.
Age Responsibility
Users should meet the applicable legal age requirements for the games and services they use. Minors should not participate in real-money gaming activities.
