The Key Rules of Responsible Gaming: How to Maintain Control and Emotions

Responsible gambling is a topic that's often forgotten until it's too late. Any passion for gambling or betting should remain strictly a form of entertainment, not a means of earning money or attempting to solve financial problems.

I'd like to share some basic rules of financial and psychological hygiene that will help you keep a cool head:

• Bankroll Limit: Never gamble with borrowed money or funds whose loss would impact your standard of living. Set a strict daily or monthly limit and do not exceed it under any circumstances.
• Time limit: Set a timer before starting a session. When your attention wanders, excitement begins to take over.
• Forget about trying to "win back": The most common mistake is trying to immediately recoup losses by increasing bets. In 90% of cases, this leads to even greater losses.
• Don't play on emotions: Alcohol, stress or a bad mood are the worst companions for gambling.

If you feel like you're losing control, always use the self-exclusion or pause features available on all reputable platforms today.

Hey, nice to see you take such interest in responsible or sustainable gambling. I would like to add personal experience gathered around the forum:

• self-exclusion on national level still only works on national level
• do not expect the same level of protection in each casino.
• do not expect same responsible mechanics to be available in each casino

Instead read the rules and suggestions regarding available responsible tools. Take extra care in advance rather than expecting immediate care from casinos. In this case, being prepared and taking care of ourselves pays off better than relying on operators' actions.

I know how that sounds, but when the mechanisms fail, it's usualy too late. 😐
