Chasing
Increasing time or stakes to recover a previous loss.
08.08.26PLAY WITH LIMITS
Set a fixed money limit and an end time before you open a game. Treat the full amount as entertainment spending that may be lost. Do not borrow, use essential money or continue to recover a loss. If you hide play, feel anxious or break your own limits, stop and ask account support for available restriction or closure options.
This service is for adults aged 18 and over. Availability and legal eligibility depend on your location; confirm current local requirements before participating.
