Juego Responsable

Gambling should be enjoyable entertainment, not a way to make money. If gambling stops being fun, it is time to stop. GamblingResearch.org is committed to promoting responsible gambling and providing resources for those who need help.

Recognizing Problem Gambling

Warning signs that gambling may be becoming a problem include:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than you can afford
• Chasing losses or borrowing money to gamble
• Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed about gambling
• Lying to others about gambling habits
• Gambling to escape problems or relieve negative feelings

Self-Exclusion Tools

Most licensed operators offer self-exclusion tools that allow you to temporarily or permanently block yourself from their platform. We recommend using these tools if you feel your gambling is getting out of control.

Setting Limits

Responsible gambling means setting and sticking to limits:

• Deposit limits - Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month
• Loss limits - Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose
• Time limits - Set a maximum amount of time for each session
• Wager limits - Set a maximum bet amount

Underage Gambling

Gambling is strictly for adults only. The minimum age varies by jurisdiction (typically 18 or 21). It is illegal for anyone under the legal age to gamble, and operators are required to verify the age of all users. If you suspect underage gambling, please report it to the relevant regulatory authority.
