- If you choose to gamble, do so only for entertainment purposes.
- Think of the money you lose as the cost of your entertainment.
- Set a dollar limit. Decide how much you want to gamble. Don’t change your mind.
- Set a time limit. Leave when you reach the time limit.
- Expect to lose. The odds are that you will lose. Accept loss as part of the game.
- Never borrow money to gamble and never use a credit card.
- Gambling should not interfere with or become a substitute for friends, family, work or other worthwhile activities.
- Avoid chasing lost money. Chances are, the more you try to recoup losses, the larger your losses will become.
- Avoid gambling as a way to cope with emotional or physical pain.
- Become educated about the warning signs of irresponsible gambling.
