Tips for Safer Gambling

STRONG betting starts with a game plan.​

Use these tips to help keep gambling fun.

​Set your limits first
Decide what you’re okay losing, like time and money, before you start. Once you hit that limit, call it. That’s how gambling stays fun instead of frustrating.
​​

Don’t bet when you’re off your game
Stress, being tired, or drinking can mess with your judgment. If you’re not feeling clear-headed, take a break and come back another time.


​

​

​Use the pause bu​ttons
Most betting apps have tools like alerts, limits, or cool-off breaks. They’re there to help you slow down and stay in control. Give ‘em a try.
​
​Stay connected to people and plans
Keeping up with friends, school, work, and hobbies helps maintain balance. Gambling shouldn’t replace the rest of your life.
