If you enjoy the occasional gamble then you’ll want to make sure you can continue doing it responsibly, because when gambling gets out of hand, it stops being fun.

For some people the problems associated with gambling can only be fixed by stopping all together. Approaches such as self-exclusion from casinos and gaming venues are an option, but the best option is to not let gambling get out of control in the first place.

Staying in control is about knowing some simple rules that you can stick to when you’re having a bet. That way, it can take away some of the pressure and responsibility of decision-making when you’re on the spot and caught up in the heat of the moment.
