Gambling always involves the risk of financial loss. Plan your play to protect your money and emotions. Use these practical tips to keep control and play responsibly.

• Treat betting as entertainment, not income.
• Decide a budget before you start and stick to it.
• Set account limits: deposit, loss, wager, and session.
• Turn on reality checks and time reminders.
• Take regular breaks to keep a clear mind.
• Track your betting history and learn from patterns.
• Avoid chasing losses or increasing stakes to recover.
• Do not gamble under stress, fatigue, or after drinking.
• Keep your account secure and out of reach of minors.
• Use DBBet tools to control risk and protect your wellbeing.

Warning signs can build over time. Learn them early and act. Gambling addiction is a serious condition and needs attention.

• Spending more than you can afford.
• Thinking about betting most of the day.
• Needing higher stakes for the same excitement.
• Chasing losses after a bad session.
• Hiding play or lying about time and money.
• Borrowing, selling items, or using credit to gamble.
• Skipping work, study, or family duties.
• Mood swings, irritability, or poor sleep.
• Repeated failed attempts to cut down or stop.
• Feeling restless or low when not playing.

Support and structure reduce harm. Follow these steps to regain control and protect your health.
