Only wager money you can afford to lose. Set a weekly or monthly limit before you start and stick to it. Treat wagering as entertainment spending — not an investment or income source.
Set time limits on your wagering sessions. Take regular breaks. Avoid wagering when tired, upset, or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
One of the most dangerous behaviors in gambling is increasing bet sizes to recover previous losses. Accept losses as part of the entertainment cost and walk away when your budget is spent.
Recognize the signs of problem gambling: gambling more than intended, lying about gambling, neglecting responsibilities, borrowing money to gamble, or feeling unable to stop.
Most licensed operators provide self-exclusion tools that allow you to restrict or block access to your wagering account. Arkansas's regulatory framework requires licensed operators to offer these options.
