Responsible gambling
Although our app does NOT offer real money gambling nor prizes, here are a few guidelines to follow in case you feel like you need to reassess your relationship to gambling.
What is responsible gambling?
- View gambling as a form of entertainment and not a source of income.
- Only gamble what you can afford to lose.
- Never chase your losses, as this can lead to problems.
- Monitor the amount of time you spend playing.
- Balance gambling with other activities. When gambling becomes your only form of entertainment, you should stop and consider whether you are still having fun.
- Take regular breaks from gambling. Gambling continuously can cause you to lose track of time and perspective.
- Do not gamble when under the influence of alcohol or when you are upset or depressed, as it can impair decision-making.
- Think about how much time and money you spend gambling.
- Understand your chance of winning and how the product works.
- Know that if you ever need to talk to someone about problem gambling, you can contact a problem gambling support organization.
