Responsible Gaming

At TheRegalList, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling. Gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to make money or escape problems.

🎯 What is Responsible Gambling?

Responsible gambling means keeping your gambling under control and making sure it doesn't harm you or anyone else. It involves setting limits, knowing when to stop, and understanding that gambling is meant for entertainment only.

✅ Tips for Safe Gambling

• Set a Budget: Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use money meant for bills, rent, or essentials.
• Set Time Limits: Decide in advance how long you'll play and stick to it.
• Never Chase Losses: If you lose, accept it and walk away. Trying to win back losses often leads to bigger problems.
• Take Regular Breaks: Step away from gambling regularly to maintain perspective.
• Don't Gamble When Upset: Avoid gambling when you're stressed, depressed, or under the influence of alcohol.
• Balance Gambling with Other Activities: Don't let gambling become your only hobby or social activity.
• Understand the Odds: Remember that the house always has an edge. Gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money.

⚠️ Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know?

• Spending more money or time gambling than you can afford
• Finding it difficult to stop or control your gambling
• Gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
• Lying to others about how much you gamble
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
• Feeling anxious, guilty, or depressed because of gambling
• Trying unsuccessfully to cut down or stop gambling

If you answered "yes" to any of these, you may have a gambling problem and should seek help immediately.
