Gambling is entertainment. If it stops being fun and starts feeling like a job or a desperate need, something is wrong. We take this seriously. Here is how to stay in control.
1. **Entertainment Cost:** Treat losses as the price of a movie ticket. 2. **Never Chase:** Trying to win back losses is the fastest way to lose more. 3. **Budget:** Set a hard limit before you open a game.
The house always has a mathematical edge. You cannot beat the math in the long run. Accept this.
Time Limit: Set an alarm. 1 hour max.
Deposit Limit: Use the casino's tools to cap your deposits. Do this BEFORE you start playing.
Loss Limit: Decide how much you are willing to lose. Hit that number? Quit.
Borrowing money to gamble? Selling things? Using bill money?
Lying about where you were? Hiding your screen?
Feeling anxious when you aren't playing? depressed after playing?
If willpower isn't enough, use technology. We recommend installing blocking software that works across ALL sites:
**Gamban** or **BetBlocker** (Free). These apps block access to thousands of gambling domains on your phone and computer instantly.
Most modern banks allow you to toggle off 'Gambling Transactions' in their app. Do it.
You aren't the first to deal with this, and you don't have to do it alone.
