Responsible Gaming
Last updated: January 1, 2025
At DuelBest.click, we believe that gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a way to make money or escape personal problems. This page provides practical guidance for staying in control and knowing when to seek help.
The Golden Rules of Safe Play
- Set a budget before you play — decide the maximum you are willing to lose and do not exceed it.
- Treat losses as the cost of entertainment — never chase losses with bigger bets.
- Set time limits — use a timer or alarm to limit your sessions.
- Never gamble under emotional stress — avoid playing when angry, depressed, or intoxicated.
- Take regular breaks — step away from the screen at least once every hour.
- Keep it private from minors — never let children or teenagers access gambling platforms.
Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling becomes a problem when it starts affecting daily life. Watch for these warning signs:
- Spending more money on gambling than you can afford
- Hiding gambling activities from friends or family
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop
- Neglecting work, studies, or personal relationships because of gambling
- Gambling to recover previous losses ("chasing")
If you recognise two or more of these in yourself or someone you know, it is strongly recommended to seek professional support.
Self-Assessment
Ask yourself the following questions honestly:
- Do you gamble more than you originally planned?
- Have you ever lied to someone about how much you gamble?
- Do you feel the need to gamble with increasing amounts to feel excitement?
- Has gambling ever caused problems at work or in relationships?
- Do you use gambling to escape stress or difficult emotions?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, consider using the self-exclusion tools available on the casino platform, or contact one of the support organisations below.
