We are committed to promoting safe and responsible gambling. Gambling can be an enjoyable form of entertainment when kept in check — but for some people it can become a problem. This page provides tools, resources and guidance.

Know the Risks

Gambling is a game of chance. No strategy, system or skill guarantees a win. Remember:

• The house always has a statistical edge (house edge)
• Past results do not influence future outcomes — each spin is independent
• Chasing losses typically leads to greater losses
• Gambling should be entertainment, not a source of income

Signs of Problem Gambling

You may have a gambling problem if you:

• Spend more money or time gambling than you can afford
• Borrow money, sell items or go into debt to gamble
• Feel anxious, irritable or depressed when not gambling
• Try repeatedly to cut back or stop gambling without success
• Gamble to escape problems, stress or negative emotions
• Lie to friends or family about your gambling habits
• Neglect work, family or social responsibilities due to gambling
