- Always keep control
We believe that the game should always be a leisure activity that you can enjoy. Remember these simple tips to make sure the game doesn't become a problem.
- Betting should be entertainment and should be taken as such.
- Bet with consideration and never try to recover losses.
- Just bet on the amount of chips you can afford tolose.
- Control the time you spendplaying. Take the game as a fun, be aware of how many hours a day you dedicate to the game.
- Combine the game with other activities. If the game is your only form of entertainment, consider whether you're still having fun.
- Take breaks from the game frequently. Continued play can make you lose control over time and perspective.
- Do not bet on the effects of alcohol or when you are angry or depressed.
- If you need to talk to someone about gambling issues, please contact Customer Service so we can help.
- Game quiz
Please read each of these questions carefully and answer each of the questions raised here. If you answer yes to one or more questions, you may have gambling issues. Please contact us and we will advise you on this.
You will need to answer YES or NO to the following ten questions:

The more questions you answer with a 'yes', the more likely you are to have a gambling problem. If you have answered 'yes', we recommend that you talk to someone about your answers, please contact Customer Service about issues with the game.
We also recommend that you consider self-excluding.
