Keep I2 Entertainment Within Everyday Boundaries

Games should fit around health, work, study and family life. A useful limit is decided before a session, when the result of the previous round is not influencing the choice.

Protect essential household money

Separate rent, groceries, school costs, medicines, transport, utilities and EMIs first. Money reserved for these obligations is not an entertainment budget. Do not borrow, sell an essential item or use emergency savings to continue playing.

Plan the session, not only the amount

• Choose a finish time and set a phone alarm before opening the game screen.
• Take a break between rapid rounds; short rounds can hide how long a session has lasted.
• Avoid play when tired, upset, under pressure or using alcohol.
• Leave when the planned time or optional amount is reached, regardless of the latest result.

Notice warning signs early

Repeatedly trying to recover losses, hiding activity from family, missing work, losing sleep or increasing amounts after an upsetting result are reasons to stop. A result is not a debt owed by the next round, and previous outcomes do not make a win more likely.

Use controls at the account provider

If the service offers reminders, deposit limits, cooling-off periods or exclusion, read how each control works and save confirmation after applying it. Removing an app icon does not necessarily close an account or activate a formal restriction.

Ask for support

Talk to someone you trust and consider qualified local support if gaming is affecting finances, relationships or wellbeing. In an immediate crisis or danger, contact emergency or crisis services available in your location.
