What is responsible gaming?
Through simple principles you can maintain control and enjoy games without exposing yourself to risks. However, keep in mind that excessive gaming, whether in games or in gambling, can have adverse effects on your life and well-being. We believe that games can be fun and a healthy way to spend an hour; but be aware that uncontrolled gambling can endanger.
What does it mean if you take your game seriously?
- Set limits. Decide how much time and money you can afford to spend on gambling and stick to it.
- Think of gaming as an amusement, not as a way of solving your financial problems, or solving emotional issues. Play for fun.
- Know yourself. If you feel that playing is beginning to negatively affect your work, school, health or relationships, take a step back.
