Do I regularly spend more than my planned budget?
Do I place bigger bets to try to recover losses?
Do I lie to family or friends about my gaming?

Am I spending more time and money on gaming over time?
Have I repeatedly failed to cut back on gaming?

6. Healthy Habits for Safe Gaming
Responsible gaming is about a little awareness and a few good habits. Follow them and gaming stays enjoyable every time.
- Set a budget first: Decide how much you are willing to spend before you start playing, and stick to that limit strictly.
- Set a Time Limit: Decide how long you will play before you start. You can set an alarm as a reminder.
- Keep a cool head: Never increase your bets out of frustration after a loss. Always make decisions with a clear head.
- Keep your expectations realistic: Gaming is primarily for entertainment. Winning is never guaranteed — don't treat it as a source of income.
- Don't play under the influence: Avoid gaming while under the influence of alcohol or any other substance.
- Take a break: Take at least a 10–15 minute break every hour. Get up, walk around, and drink some water.
- Let your family know: Talk openly with your family about gaming. Transparency goes a long way in preventing problems.
- Keep other hobbies: Balance your time — give equal attention to studying, sports, and other activities, not just gaming.
