Before you play
Confirm that you meet the legal age, usually 18 or older, and that the activity is permitted where you live. Set a fixed entertainment budget and time limit before opening an app. Treat every deposit as money that may be lost.
Safer-play limits
Do not borrow money, use household funds, chase losses, or increase stakes to recover a previous result. Take regular breaks, keep gaming separate from work and sleep, and use operator deposit limits, cooling-off tools, or self-exclusion where available.
Warning signs
Stop and seek help if you hide play from others, miss bills, feel unable to stop, chase losses, play to escape stress, or experience conflict about money or time. Ask the relevant app operator to restrict or close the account and contact a qualified local support service.
Parents and caregivers
Keep devices, passwords, payment methods, and identity documents away from minors. Use device-level parental controls and do not allow children to use an adult gaming account.
