How can you help yourself?
We are always there for you to ensure you indulge in responsible gaming. However, here are a few steps you can take from your end to be a more responsible gamer.
- Learn how to manage your bankroll effectively. For this, you must always play within the limits and stakes you can afford. For example, Generally, one should have at least 100+ buy-in for the stakes they choose to play. Of course, this will vary for tournaments with different formats and stakes. But the point is to never play with more than you can afford to lose.
- Keep a separate budget for playing. Do not play with the money you have kept for some other important or essential purposes.
- Keep studying and analyzing your game so you can figure out your strengths and weaknesses. Be mindful of your performance so you know when to stop.

- Do not play when you are tired, overwhelmed, or under great stress. Moreover, you should also not play when you are in the middle of working or doing something important. Allocate a separate and specific time for playing.
- Do not chase your losses in an attempt to recoup them at tables with higher stakes.
- Make sure to draw a firm line between playing for entertainment and playing for money so you know when you are crossing it. Always play for the former.
- Let playing be just one part of your life and NOT the whole of it. Find other sources of entertainment too so you can maintain a proper balance between playing and other activities and hobbies.
- Avoid playing while under the influence of alcohol.
