Set boundaries first
A simple safer-play plan
Set a cash budget
Use only money already set aside for entertainment. Never borrow, use bill money or gamble to repay debt.
Set a time limit
Choose a stop time before opening a casino and use an alarm or operator time-out tool.
Do not chase losses
A loss is not a debt the next game can fix. Stop when the limit is reached, regardless of the result.
Keep money visible
Track deposits and withdrawals in your normal currency, including crypto converted at the time of transfer.
Warning signs
Pause when gambling stops feeling like entertainment
- Spending more money or time than you planned
- Trying to win back losses by increasing stakes
- Hiding gambling activity or spending from other people
- Borrowing money or selling things to continue
- Feeling anxious, irritable or unable to stop
- Letting gambling affect work, study, sleep or relationships
You do not need to wait for a crisis. If even one sign feels familiar, a break and a confidential conversation can help.
Time-out & self-exclusion
Make access harder when willpower is not enough
BitStarz's Play Safe page says players can request self-exclusion through its support team. You can also use device blocking tools, bank gambling blocks where available and national self-exclusion schemes in your country.
Self-exclusion is most effective when applied to every gambling account and paired with limits on marketing, payments and access.
