Responsible gambling: limits, stopping and finding help
Gambling can cause financial and personal harm. Set boundaries before starting, and stop when the activity no longer fits them.

A limit must leave essential spending untouched
Use only money that can be lost without affecting food, housing, debt or other obligations. Set a time limit as well as a loss limit. An expected return calculation does not protect the amount you need for daily life.
A loss does not make the next result due
Increasing stakes to recover earlier losses adds exposure. A finite budget and table limits can stop a progression before any recovery. Past outcomes do not create a debt that the game must repay.
When to stop comparing offers
Borrowing, hiding spending, missing sleep or responsibilities, and repeated attempts to recover losses are reasons to stop. A new bonus or app does not solve those problems. Consider taking a break and speaking with someone you trust or an appropriate support service.
Limits and self-exclusion belong to the provider
Check the identified provider’s tools and keep its confirmation. Uninstalling an app alone does not close an account, stop billing or prevent browser access. For account closure, use the original relationship and the applicable process.
Use a country-appropriate help resource
Mexico’s DGJyS publishes information on compulsive gambling. Brazil’s edition links its public gambling-information resources. For immediate risk or distress, seek local emergency or health support.
