Build a Safer Play Checklist
Create a repeatable pre-session, in-session, and post-session checklist covering identity, limits, security, records, and stop signals.
Before account use
Confirm local eligibility, legal entity, licence, official domain, privacy notice, security settings, payment method, withdrawal terms, and support route. Enable multi-factor authentication and save no credentials on a shared device.
Before a session
Set a time limit and a spending or loss limit from disposable entertainment funds. Choose the game or market in advance, read the current rules, and decide the stop conditions. Do not begin when distressed, impaired, or trying to solve a financial problem.
During a session
Keep the clock, balance, and transaction history visible. Pause at reality checks. Do not increase stakes after losses, borrow, add a new payment method impulsively, or continue because a feature feels due.
After a session
Close the platform, record actual time and spending, and compare them with the plan. Review unresolved transactions and save relevant IDs. Avoid immediate return for loss recovery.
Escalation signals
Repeated limit changes, secrecy, borrowing, distress, disrupted work or relationships, and inability to stop call for stronger action. Use a time-out, self-exclusion, bank or device blocks, and confidential professional support appropriate to your location.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I set limits?
Before the session, while calm and away from immediate outcomes.
What funds are appropriate?
Only disposable entertainment funds after essential commitments; never borrowed or bill money.
Why record activity afterward?
It reveals whether actual time and spending matched the plan.
What is a clear stop signal?
Reaching any set limit, rising distress, loss-chasing urges, or impaired concentration.
What if I cannot follow the checklist?
Stop, use stronger blocking or exclusion tools, and contact a recognized support service.
