Setting and maintaining boundaries on how much time and money may be spent playing is essential for responsible gambling. Never gamble with money you can't afford to lose, and stay away from pursuing losses. Be aware of the dangers and symptoms of problem gambling, and get assistance if necessary. Always play for enjoyment when you bet; never do it to get money.
