A Beginner Guide to Responsible Play Limits
Set practical time and spending boundaries before starting a game session.
Limits work best when they are decided before play begins. Choose an amount and a session duration that do not affect essential expenses, work or sleep.
Use fixed boundaries
Set a clear stop time and spending ceiling. Do not increase either limit in response to a loss.
Take scheduled breaks
Short breaks interrupt automatic decisions and make it easier to assess whether the session is still enjoyable.
Know when to stop
If play becomes stressful, secretive or difficult to control, stop and seek support from an appropriate local service.
