Tips, tools, and resources to help you gamble responsibly
Responsible Gambling
Our Commitment
At Mixed Markets, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. We believe that betting should be an entertaining activity, not a way to make money or escape problems.
Understanding Responsible Gambling
Responsible gambling means staying in control of how much time and money you spend betting. It's about making informed choices and ensuring that gambling remains an enjoyable form of entertainment rather than causing financial, emotional, or social harm.
For most people, gambling is a fun and harmless activity, but for some, it can become problematic. Recognizing the signs of problem gambling early and knowing where to seek help is crucial.
Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, it may be a sign that your gambling is becoming problematic:
- Spending more time or money than you can afford
- Gambling to escape problems or relieve stress
- Trying to win back money you've lost
- Lying about your gambling habits
- Neglecting work, education, or family
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
- Feeling anxious, worried, or guilty about gambling
- Continuing to gamble despite negative consequences
Tools to Help You Stay in Control
Mixed Markets provides several tools to help you manage your gambling:
