What Responsible Gambling Means
Responsible gambling involves maintaining control over time, money, and emotional involvement while participating in online betting or gaming activities. It means treating gaming as entertainment, not a source of income, and being aware of the potential risks involved.
​
Key principles of responsible gambling include:

Playing within personal financial limits

Avoiding impulsive decisions
