Gambling costs money over time. Rather than a warning label, the house edge is the arithmetic funding the entire operation, and no strategy, bonus or filter can alter it. The points below flow from that.

Decide before you start

Fix the amount you are willing to lose ahead of your first deposit, not once a losing run has begun. Limits chosen in a calm moment stick, unlike those chosen while chasing losses. Rather than expecting your spending to come back as a return, consider it simply the cost of having fun.

The tools in your account

• Deposit limit — restricts what you can pay in, whether measured daily, weekly or monthly.
• Loss limit — a cap placed on total net losses for a set period.
• Session reminder — a running indicator of your total playing time so far.
• Time-out — freezes account access for your chosen duration.
• Self-exclusion — shuts the account for a lengthier term than a time-out.

Cut a limit and it takes effect straight away. There is a built-in delay to raising a limit, meant to stop its removal at the worst possible moment.

Warning signs

Three things are worth catching early: using money meant for other purposes, chasing back what was lost, and downplaying to others how much time or money is really involved. Alone, any single one of these barely counts. As a set, the three are significant.

Where to get help

Independent of us, every one of these organisations operates on its own.

• Tele-MANAS — 14416, free and confidential.
• A doctor or counsellor — gambling problems are treated like any other addiction, in confidence.
• Gamban — a program that keeps gambling websites off every device you own.

Under-age gambling

Adults 18 and up are who accounts are reserved for. When a device is used by more than one person, install parental controls and store login details somewhere others cannot find them. Any account opened by a minor is shut down, with winnings voided.
