Safer Play Guidelines

Following these practical recommendations can help reduce risk and improve your gaming experience.

• Treat online games as a recreational activity, not a source of income.
• Set a spending limit before you start playing—and respect it.
• Play only with discretionary funds that won’t affect your essentials.
• Refrain from gaming when under emotional distress or the influence of substances.
• Pause your sessions frequently and take regular breaks.
• Balance online entertainment with other interests and social time.
• Remember, game outcomes are based on chance—there are no patterns or systems.
• If you're worried about your play habits, don't hesitate to reach out for help.
