Keep online play controlled

Entertainment should fit within your available time and money. Decide your limits before starting and take action when those limits become difficult to follow.

11W India guide

Set limits before you begin

  1. Choose an entertainment budget. Use only money left after food, housing, bills, savings and other essentials.
  2. Set a time limit. Use a phone alarm and stop when it rings, regardless of the result.
  3. Do not chase losses. Spending more does not guarantee a recovery.
  4. Avoid credit. Do not borrow money or use funds intended for another purpose.
  5. Take regular breaks. Step away when tired, upset, stressed or under the influence of alcohol.

Warning signs that deserve attention

Loss of control

You repeatedly exceed the time or amount you planned.

Secrecy or conflict

You hide activity or it creates arguments with family and friends.

Essential money at risk

You use rent, food, education, debt-payment or emergency funds.

If any warning sign is present, stop, remove easy access, review payment limits and speak with a trusted person. Seek qualified local support if the behaviour is causing harm or feels difficult to control.
