Start with an entertainment budget

Use only money that is not required for bills, food, housing, debt or savings. A budget is not a target to spend.

Use account controls early

• Set deposit and loss limits before gambling.
• Use session reminders and time-outs.
• Do not increase limits immediately after losses.
• Use self-exclusion when gambling no longer feels controlled.
