Free Super Tips Safer Gambling Tips

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose – Never gamble with money that you need for essentials, such as rent, bills or food.
Don’t chase losses –Don’t try and get money back by betting more and going over your limit. This usually leads to bigger losses.
Take a break – If gambling is no longer fun then take a break.
Set a money limit in advance – Set a limit on how much money you are willing to lose before you bet or play. If you reach that number, it’s time to walk away.
Set a time limit in advance – Set a time limit for how long you can afford to spend gambling and stop when you reach it.
Never put gambling before friends or family – Don’t put gambling before other social activities or seeing friends and family.
Gamble for fun and not a way of making money – Think of gambling as an entertainment expense – like going out for dinner or to the cinema. Gambling establishments are set up to take in more money than they pay out.
Don’t gamble if you are angry, upset or depressed – You can’t make good decisions if you aren’t in the right frame of mind.
Don’t drink or take drugs when gambling – Decisions that are made under the influence are often regretted after so don’t mix gambling with drugs or alcohol.

According to the statutory British gambling regulator, the Gambling Commission, “Safer gambling comes from an industry that takes care of its customers, customers who are empowered with the knowledge to manage their gambling and a regulator that ensures the consumer is at the heart of everything we do.” The information contained here is intended to address the first two of these criteria. As we promote the services of gambling providers on this site, we believe it is important that our customers are made aware of the risks that can be associated with gambling, as well as information about where they can find further advice and support should they require it.
