Responsible Gambling

At The Box Score, we believe gambling should always be an enjoyable and entertaining activity. It should never be seen as a way to make money or solve financial problems. If gambling stops being fun, it is time to stop.

Tips for Safe Gambling

Set a budget: Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start playing, and never exceed that amount.
Set time limits: Keep track of how long you have been playing. Take regular breaks.
Never chase losses: If you are on a losing streak, walk away. Trying to win back losses leads to bigger losses.
Do not gamble when emotional: Avoid gambling when you are stressed, angry, depressed, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Keep it entertainment: Think of gambling as a form of entertainment, not a source of income.
Balance gambling with other activities: Make sure gambling is not your only leisure activity.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Spending more money or time on gambling than you can afford
Difficulty controlling or stopping your gambling
Feeling restless or irritable when not gambling
Gambling to escape problems or relieve feelings of anxiety
Lying to family and friends about the extent of your gambling
Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling

Self-Exclusion

Most online casinos offer self-exclusion tools that allow you to temporarily or permanently block yourself from accessing their platform. If you feel you need a break, contact the casino's support team to activate self-exclusion.
