How can the game remain just fun?

This is how:

  • Before you start playing, find out the rules of the game
  • Before you start playing, set a budget and follow it. Don’t borrow money.
  • Set a time before you start the game and stick to it
  • Rest often
  • Don’t chase losses. Accept them as a fee to be paid for the entertainment provided.
  • Stop the game when you spent your budget or when you decide you have won
  • Combine the game with other entertainment
  • Learn about the symptoms of gambling addiction.

Potential risks

Like many other activities, the fun of the game can develop into a behavioural disorder that can be addictive. Here are some of the cues that can help you determine what role the game plays in your life – whether it’s just for fun or there’s a second plan:

I want to play more and more, especially after losing;

It seems to me that when I start winning, it will last forever;

It’s hard for me to stop, even when I promise not to play again;

I’m having financial difficulties because I’m spending my savings to play gambling games;

I play during working hours (in front of the computer), trying to recoup my losses and/or gain more;

Any other activity or hobby that I usually enjoy is starting to become an unwanted obligation.
