How to play responsibly?

Responsible gambling means making informed, conscious decisions and maintaining control over your time, money, and behavior. Following certain guidelines can help you enjoy gambling as a form of entertainment — without it negatively affecting your life.

10 Tips for a Safer Gambling Experience

Use the following best practices to protect yourself and maintain a healthy relationship with gambling:

1. Gamble Only What You Can Afford to Lose

• Set a personal budget based on what you can comfortably afford — never gamble with money meant for essentials like rent, food, or bills.

• OlyBet allows you to set spending limits that match your financial situation.

2. Don’t Chase Losses

• Trying to win back lost money by gambling more often leads to even bigger losses.

• Stay calm, accept the loss, and walk away.

3. Track Your Playing Time

• Use session timers or reminders to monitor how long you’ve been playing.

• Taking regular breaks helps maintain awareness and control.

4. Maintain a Balanced Lifestyle

• Gambling should be just one of many recreational activities.

• If it's becoming your only source of entertainment, it's time to reconsider its role in your life.

5. Take Regular Breaks

• Step away from the game now and then to reset.

• Continuous play can lead to a loss of time perception and control.

6. Avoid Gambling Under the Influence

• Never gamble when you are intoxicated, upset, stressed, or depressed.

• Impaired judgment can lead to poor decisions and risky behavior.

7. Be Honest About Time and Money Spent

• Reflect on how much time and money you’re devoting to gambling.

• If you're spending more than planned or feel uneasy — it may be time to pause.

8. Understand How the Games Work

• Learn the rules, odds, and mechanics of each game before playing.

• Knowing the real chances of winning can prevent unrealistic expectations.

9. Seek Help If Something Feels Wrong

• Don’t ignore warning signs like anxiety, guilt, or loss of control.

• Support is available, and asking for help is a responsible step.

10. Consider Self-Exclusion

• You can voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling if you feel at risk.
