Responsible Gambling Principles

This tool is built on these core principles:

Never gamble with money you need for essentials - Rent, food, and utilities must never be at risk
Set limits and stick to them - Once your daily limit is reached, stop playing
Never chase losses - Accept losses as entertainment costs, not debts
Keep emergency funds intact - Gambling should never impact your financial safety net
Seek help if needed - Problem gambling is treatable
