Responsible Gaming

Real-money games should be treated as paid entertainment, not as employment, an investment or a guaranteed way to receive income. Results are uncertain, and users can lose the funds placed in an account.

Age Requirement

Real-money gaming is intended only for adults. Do not use these services unless you are at least 18 years old and meet the legal age requirement in your location.

Parents and guardians should keep account credentials, payment apps and devices away from children. Device-level restrictions can also be used where appropriate.

Set Clear Limits

Before participating, decide how much money and time you can safely use. Keep these limits separate from rent, food, bills, education, medical costs, savings and other essential needs.

Never borrow money, use emergency funds or try to recover a loss by spending more. A loss is not a signal that the next result will be different.

Warning Signs

Take a break and review your activity if you:

  • Spend more money or time than planned
  • Hide activity from family or friends
  • Borrow funds to continue
  • Ignore work, study, sleep or responsibilities
  • Feel stressed, angry or anxious because of results
  • Repeatedly try to recover losses
  • Continue after deciding to stop

Safer Habits

  • Set a fixed entertainment budget
  • Set a time limit before opening the app
  • Check transaction history regularly
  • Take frequent breaks
  • Avoid playing when upset, tired or under pressure
  • Do not use alcohol or other substances while making payment decisions
  • Turn off promotional notifications if they encourage unwanted activity
  • Use available account limits, breaks or self-exclusion controls

Take a Break

If gaming is affecting your finances, health or relationships, stop using the service and remove immediate access to payment methods. Speak with a trusted person and seek qualified local support.

For account limits, closures or self-exclusion, use the support options provided by the platform that manages the account.
