Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be a form of entertainment — not a way to make money. At BetScope.org, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling and ensuring our users have access to a safe and secure environment.
Key principles of responsible gambling include:
- Set limits: Define how much time and money you spend gambling, and stick to those limits.
- Play with what you can afford to lose: Never gamble with borrowed money.
- Stay informed: Understand the games you play and the risks involved.
- Take breaks: Gambling should never interfere with your personal life or responsibilities.
- Avoid gambling under the influence: Alcohol and drugs impair judgment and increase risk.
Warning signs of problem gambling:
- Difficulty controlling your gambling
- Gambling to escape problems or improve mood
- Borrowing money or selling items to fund gambling
- Hiding gambling from friends or family
- Neglecting work, education, or relationships
