Play safe – play wise!
As thrilling, absorbing, and distracting as gambling can be, it can also be addictive. We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy their gambling experience in a safe, controlled way- and that’s exactly why Play Wise was born.
Working in conjunction with Vera&John, InterCasino and Yuugado our aim is to help players take control of their gambling and foster healthier patterns of play. Below, you can find our essential toolkit to help identify and tackle problem gambling habits.
Understand the risk
Whether you’re a new player or an experienced gambler, the risk of addiction developing should never be taken lightly. Although we all want to be winners, it’s important to understand and prepare for the fact that losing is also part of the experience. Therefore, it’s important not to play with money you cannot afford to lose.
Those who become addicted to gambling are at risk of losing more than just money; we want our players to be able to enjoy gambling as part of a balanced, fulfilling lifestyle. If you feel like your gambling is affecting your mental health, it’s time to take action and seek support.
Through our responsible gambling toolkit, we can help you to implement gambling limits, examine your own playing behaviour, and reach out to trained professionals if needed.
Helpful Tips
Don’t know where to start? Check out our handy tips to help you keep track of your gambling.
Play for fun
You can’t fix your financial problems through gambling, or making increasingly risky bets. Gambling is purely there for entertainment purposes, not to make a living. Only play when you’re having fun.
Stick to your budget
Only play with money you can afford. If you gamble often, consider setting yourself a monthly budget that falls well within your means. This helps keep your gameplay sustainable!
Set gambling limits
We can help with this one! We have an excellent range of options to help you control both the time and money you spend on our sites. Make sure that yours are set up and within your means.
Take a break
Gambling can easily consume a lot of your time, so take breaks and enjoy a change of scenery. Stretch your legs. Catch up with your loved ones. Try something new. You’ll feel re-energised!
Know yourself
Regularly checking in on your gambling habits is a great way of helping you to avoid the pitfalls of unhealthy gambling. Think about whether gambling has changed the way you live your life; it might be time to take a step back.
Stay sober
Lowered inhibitions don’t pair well with gambling. Keeping alcohol and drugs separate from your gambling experience is always a sensible decision!
Keep a diary
If you want to monitor your behaviour, a gambling diary can be a good place to start. You can make a note of the details every time you play, and even record your feelings.
Look at the big picture
How important is gambling in your life? Keep your priorities in mind and ask yourself whether gambling is taking any time or attention away from them.
