PLAY WITH CLEAR LIMITS

Responsible Play

A slot is paid entertainment with an uncertain result. Set the boundaries before play starts and stop when those boundaries are reached.

Responsible Play guide with Gold Party slot, time limits, budget control and break reminders

Simple Limits That Matter

Money Limit

Use only money already set aside for entertainment. Do not borrow, use household funds or chase a loss.

Time Limit

Choose a finishing time before the first spin. A timer is more reliable than waiting until the session feels long.

Clear Head

Avoid gambling when upset, under pressure, tired or affected by alcohol or other substances.

Signs It Is Time to Stop

  • spending more money or time than planned
  • trying to recover losses with larger or faster bets
  • hiding activity from family or friends
  • feeling anxious, angry or unable to concentrate after stopping
  • using gambling as a way to solve financial pressure
