Golden rules for responsible play
-
Set limits: Decide a budget and time limit before you start. Stick to both.
-
Only play with discretionary funds: Never use money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food).
-
Don’t chase losses: Accept them as part of the experience; chasing increases risk.
-
Keep perspective: Gambling is entertainment, not income or investment.
-
Take breaks: Step away regularly; don’t play when stressed, tired, or under the influence.
-
Balance your life: Prioritize work, family, health, and hobbies outside of gambling.
-
Track your activity: Review time and spend; most casinos provide statements and tools.
Warning signs to watch for
-
Spending more time or money than planned
-
Hiding activity from family or friends
-
Chasing losses or borrowing to gamble
-
Feeling guilt, anxiety, or irritability related to gambling
-
Neglecting work, school, or relationships If you notice these signs, consider a break and seek help.
Tools and protections
-
Casino tools: Use deposit limits, time reminders, loss limits, reality checks, and self-exclusion where available.
-
Payment controls: Set monthly caps or block gambling merchants via your bank (many banks offer this).
-
Device controls: Install website/app blockers to limit access during cooldowns.
-
Community safeguards: Keep member-only links private. Report concerns to support@platinumlounges.com.
