Your safety and well-being are our top priorities

Our Commitment to You

At BrowserBets.com, we believe gambling should be fun, entertaining, and safe. We're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and providing you with the tools and resources you need to stay in control of your gambling activities.

What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means gambling in a way that is fun, safe, and within your means. It's about maintaining control over your gambling activities and ensuring that gambling remains a form of entertainment rather than a source of problems.

Healthy Gambling

• Gambling for entertainment
• Setting and sticking to limits
• Gambling with money you can afford to lose
• Taking regular breaks
• Maintaining balance with other activities

Warning Signs

• Gambling more than you can afford
• Chasing losses
• Borrowing money to gamble
• Neglecting responsibilities
• Gambling affecting relationships

Essential Tips for Safe Gambling

💰

Set Your Budget

Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use money meant for essentials like rent, food, or bills.

⏰

Manage Your Time

Set time limits for gambling sessions. Use alarms or timers to remind yourself when to take breaks.

🎯

Know the Odds

Understand that the house always has an edge. Gambling is not a way to make money or solve financial problems.

🚫

Never Chase Losses

If you lose, don't try to win it back by betting more. Accept losses as part of the entertainment cost.

🍺

Avoid Alcohol

Don't gamble when under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as this impairs judgment and decision-making.

⚖️

Keep Balance

Maintain a healthy balance between gambling and other activities like work, family, and hobbies.

Self-Assessment: Are You Gambling Responsibly?

Ask Yourself These Questions:

•

Do you gamble more money than you can afford to lose?

•

Do you need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to feel excitement?

•

Have you tried to cut back on gambling but found it difficult?

•

Do you feel restless or irritable when trying to reduce gambling?

•

Do you gamble to escape problems or relieve feelings of anxiety or depression?

•

Have you lied to family or friends about your gambling activities?

•

Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to finance gambling?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you may want to consider seeking help or taking a break from gambling.
