Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be entertainment — money spent on fun, like a night out or a streaming subscription. The moment it becomes a way to make money, chase losses, or escape from stress, it stops being fun and starts being a problem. This page covers the tools that keep play safe and where to get free, confidential help if you or someone you know needs it.
Ground Rules for Safe Play
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose — never rent, bills or borrowed money.
- Set a deposit limit before you start playing, not after.
- Never chase losses. Losing sessions happen; trying to win it back is how small losses become big ones.
- Take regular breaks and don't gamble when upset, stressed or under the influence.
- Treat bonuses as extended entertainment, not as a money-making opportunity.
Tools Available at Licensed Casinos
Licensed casinos, including MyBet, offer safer gambling tools in your account settings: deposit, loss and wager limits; session reminders; time-outs from 24 hours to 6 weeks; and permanent self-exclusion. Setting a modest deposit limit when you open an account is the single most effective step — it takes a minute and removes the decision from the heat of the moment.
Signs It May Be Becoming a Problem
- Spending more time or money than intended, repeatedly
- Hiding gambling from family or friends
- Gambling to escape worry, or feeling anxious and irritable when not gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or missing payments because of gambling
- Chasing losses to "get even"
If any of these feel familiar, it's worth talking to someone — support is free, confidential and judgment-free.
