Gambling always carries the risk of financial loss. Keeping play under control helps protect your wellbeing and budget.

Follow these principles:

• Decide a weekly or monthly budget and stick to those limits.
• Bet small amounts. Never chase losses.
• Use deposit, loss, and wager limits in your account.
• Set time limits. Take regular breaks.
• Keep gambling money separate from living costs.
• Avoid betting on credit or when stressed, angry, or tired.
• Track your spending and playing history.
• Use reality checks and session reminders on Baji Live.
• Treat gambling as play, not income.
• Stop when it is no longer fun.

Warning signs can build up over time. Gambling addiction is a serious condition that needs attention.

Possible indicators:

• Thinking about betting most of the day.
• Increasing stakes to feel the same excitement.
• Chasing losses after a bad session.
• Hiding betting from family or friends.
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay debts.
• Missing work, studies, or duties due to gambling.
• Mood swings, anxiety, or irritability after playing.
• Gambling to escape stress, sadness, or problems.
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop.
• Restlessness when not gambling.

Support and structure can reduce harm and help regain control.

Practical steps you can take:

• Set strict deposit, loss, and wager limits before you play.
• Use time-outs or cooling-off periods in your account.
• Request self-exclusion from Baji Live for a defined period.
• Remove saved payment methods and reduce access to funds.
• Install site-blocking or gambling-block software on your devices.
• Keep a diary of spending, triggers, and moods.
• Avoid alcohol or substances when betting.
• Share your plan with a trusted person for support.
• Seek professional counselling if control is difficult.
• Use only money you can afford to lose and plan other activities.
