Tips for Safe Gambling

Set a Budget

Set a budget you're comfortable losing before you join the table, and let it close the session.

Set Time Limits

Keep a limit on your playing time; live rounds have a way of stretching the evening.

Never Chase Losses

A losing run balances out in time. Raising your stake to chase it back rarely helps.

Take Breaks

Step away from the table now and then so the game keeps its place as a pastime.
