Responsible gaming means keeping gambling within safe and controlled limits. This page provides general information to help adults understand the risks associated with real-money gaming and recognize when gambling may be becoming difficult to control.
IN999 is an independent gaming-related subject covered by this website. This website is informational only and does not operate, manage, or control any gambling or gaming platform.
Our Approach to Responsible Gaming
Our approach to responsible gaming is based on safety, awareness, informed decision-making, and personal control.
Gambling should never be presented as a reliable way to make money or solve financial problems. Real-money gaming can result in losses, and no strategy or game can guarantee a particular outcome.
We encourage readers to understand the risks before participating in any gambling activity and to make decisions based on their own circumstances. If gambling begins to interfere with finances, relationships, work, education, or personal wellbeing, taking a break or stopping completely should be considered.
This website does not encourage users to gamble more frequently or spend more money.
Age Restriction
This website and its gambling-related information are intended for adults aged 18 years or older.
Users must meet the legal minimum age applicable in their jurisdiction before participating in any real-money gaming or gambling activity. If the legal age in your location is higher than 18, the higher requirement applies.
Parents and guardians should take appropriate steps to prevent minors from accessing gambling services or using payment methods for gambling purposes.
If you are under the applicable legal gambling age, you should not participate in real-money gaming.
Gambling Risks
Gambling involves financial risk. There is no guarantee that money spent on a game will be recovered, and users may lose some or all of the amount they choose to gamble.
Financial risks can include:
- Spending more than originally planned
- Using money intended for essential expenses
- Borrowing money to gamble
- Accumulating debt
- Attempting to recover previous losses
- Increasing gambling expenditure over time
- Experiencing financial stress after losses
Gambling can also affect emotional and personal wellbeing. Some people may experience stress, anxiety, frustration, guilt, sleep problems, relationship difficulties, or other negative consequences when gambling becomes difficult to control.
These risks are not limited to a particular game or platform.
Play Responsibly Guidelines
Set Gambling Limits
Decide how much money and time you are willing to spend before participating.
Only use money that you can afford to lose. Do not use money required for rent, food, bills, education, debt payments, or other essential expenses.
Where available, consider using deposit, spending, or time-limit tools provided by the relevant gaming platform.
Don’t Chase Losses
A loss should not be treated as a reason to gamble more money.
Trying to recover previous losses by increasing the amount or frequency of gambling can make financial problems worse. Previous results do not guarantee future outcomes.
If you have reached the limit you set for yourself, stop rather than attempting to recover the money.
Treat Gaming as Entertainment
Gambling should not be viewed as a source of income, investment, or a solution to financial difficulties.
Approach gambling only as an optional form of entertainment and understand that losing money is a possible outcome.
If gambling stops being enjoyable and starts creating financial or personal pressure, consider stopping.
Avoid Gambling Under Pressure
Avoid gambling when you are experiencing significant stress, anger, emotional distress, or financial pressure.
Emotional decision-making can make it more difficult to follow predetermined limits.
Take Regular Breaks
If you choose to participate, take regular breaks and monitor how much time you spend gambling.
Spending longer periods gambling than originally intended can be a warning that your limits are becoming difficult to maintain.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Recognizing warning signs early can help a person take action before the situation becomes more serious.
Potential warning signs include:
- Gambling with more money than originally planned
- Spending more time gambling than intended
- Repeatedly trying to recover losses
- Increasing gambling amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Borrowing money to gamble
- Selling possessions to fund gambling
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
- Feeling anxious, guilty, or distressed about gambling
- Thinking about gambling frequently
- Neglecting work, education, relationships, or responsibilities
- Continuing to gamble despite financial problems
- Attempting to stop but repeatedly returning to gambling
- Using gambling as a way to escape personal or emotional problems
One warning sign does not necessarily mean that someone has a gambling disorder. However, several signs occurring together may indicate that gambling is becoming difficult to control.
Seeking Help & Support
If gambling is causing financial, emotional, relationship, or other difficulties, consider stopping and seeking professional support.
A qualified mental-health professional, counsellor, addiction specialist, or other appropriate healthcare professional can help assess the situation and discuss suitable support options.
People experiencing gambling-related difficulties may also benefit from speaking with someone they trust, such as a family member or close friend.
If financial problems are involved, appropriate financial counselling may also be useful.
This website does not provide medical, psychological, addiction-treatment, or financial counselling services. Users should seek qualified professional assistance where necessary.
If you are experiencing an immediate personal safety or mental-health emergency, contact the appropriate emergency or professional service available in your location.
Self-Exclusion Awareness
Self-exclusion is a control measure that allows a person to restrict or stop their access to a gambling service for a chosen period, where the relevant platform provides this option.
Users who believe gambling is becoming difficult to control can check whether the gaming platform they use offers self-exclusion, account restrictions, cooling-off periods, deposit limits, spending limits, or similar tools.
Self-exclusion conditions vary between providers and jurisdictions. Users should review the relevant platform’s current responsible gaming policy to understand how its self-exclusion process works.
Self-exclusion should be taken seriously. If you choose to exclude yourself, avoid attempting to bypass the restriction through another account or another person’s account.
Protecting Yourself From Uncontrolled Gambling
In addition to setting financial limits, users can take practical steps to maintain control.
These may include keeping gambling separate from essential household finances, avoiding borrowing money for gambling, monitoring spending, taking regular breaks, and discussing concerns with someone they trust.
Keeping accurate records of gambling expenditure can also help users understand how much they are actually spending.
If you repeatedly exceed your own limits, consider stopping gambling rather than simply increasing the limits.
