Decide your limits in advance

Treat gambling as paid entertainment with an uncertain outcome. Use only money you can afford to lose, keep essential expenses separate, and set a time limit before starting. Stop when either limit is reached.

Avoid chasing losses

Increasing stakes or adding deposits to recover a loss can increase harm. A previous result does not promise a future win. Take a break if you feel pressure to continue.
