Responsible Gaming

The online game should be a fun way to keep yourself occupied and entertained. However, there are times when playing becomes more than just

pleasure and the fun stops. It is then time to take a break or consider stopping altogether.

GambleAware is the leading nonprofit organization in the United Kingdom dedicated to educating and combating gambling-related harm. Their list consists of ten tips for safe gaming:

Don't think of the game as a way to make money.

Only play with money that you can afford to lose.

Set a limit of money in advance.

Set a time limit in advance.

Don't try to recover your losses.

Don’t play when you are feeling depressed or upset.

Balance the game with other activities.

Do not bring your credit card with you.

Take breaks.

Do not drink or use drugs while playing.

Although the list may be more for casino enthusiasts, it also has merit among online players. We strongly recommend

using the deposit limits of online casinos and the time-limited game limits.

While the list may be more for casino enthusiasts, it also holds value among online players. We strongly recommend using deposit limits at online casinos and limits related to gaming time.

Signs that you are playing in a problematic way

The definition of problematic gaming, addiction, or disorders varies by country and sources. The American Psychiatric Association (APA)

calls it a gambling disorder and defines it as follows: “gambling disorder involves repeated gambling behavior that causes significant problems

or distress.”

The definition of problematic gaming, addiction, or disorders varies by country and source. The American Psychiatric Association (APA)

calls it a gaming disorder and defines it as follows: "gaming disorder involves repeated gaming behavior that causes significant problems or distress."

According to the APA, a diagnosis of gambling disorder requires at least four of the following criteria to be met in the past year:

Need to play with increasing amounts of money to achieve the desired excitement.

Agitated or irritable when trying to reduce or stop playing.

Repeated and unsuccessful efforts to control, reduce, or stop gambling.

Frequent reflections on gaming (for example, reliving past gaming experiences, planning the next gaming moment, reflecting on the

means of obtaining money to play).

Play frequently when in distress.

Come back frequently to recoup an amount of money after losing it while playing (what is called "wanting to recoup your losses").

Lying to hide gaming activity.

Endangering or losing an important relationship, a job, or an educational or career opportunity because of gambling.

Relying on others to solve one's problems caused by gambling.

If you have ever felt or done any of the things listed above, you may need to take control of your game. BeGambleAware has a

confidential online test that could provide you with additional insights into your gambling habits.

You are not alone

A review of the literature published in Journal of Behavioral Addiction (2016) suggests that the prevalence of gambling problems worldwide is

0.12% to 5.8%. According to a well-cited older study published in 1998, the prevalence was 4.7%.
