Taking steps to manage your gambling can help you stay in control and keep a healthy, balanced relationship with gambling.
Setting limits on time and money helps you avoid spending too much. It can help make gambling a choice rather than a habit. People who set limits are less likely to feel stressed about money or try to win back losses.
Keeping track of your gambling is also important. Your betting activity statement shows how much you’ve spent, your wins and losses. It also shows your gambling habits over time. This can help you make better decisions about when and how much to gamble.
This section has tools and resources to help you set limits and make informed choices about your gambling activity.
