Responsible Gambling

For the majority of people, gambling is a form of leisure and/or entertainment, but if you feel you are developing a gambling problem then the following web sites can offer you practical advice and help.

Please keep the following in mind when gambling:

• Decide on how much money you're going to bet before you play and stick to it!.
• If you lose, don't chase your losses.
• Small wins are better than big loses. If you're ahead, take your winnings and run.
• Remember that gambling is entertainment. It's not a get rich quickly scheme.
• Don't forget most forms of gambling are games of chance. There are no guaranteed systems that'll work 100% of the time.
