Responsible Gaming
Warning
Gaming can be addictive and should only be for entertainment. If financial problems, psychological impacts, or family problems occur, you need to stop gaming.

- Neglecting work and family responsibilities due to gaming
- Continuing to play games to recover losses
- Hiding gaming activities
2. Setting Personal Limits
Setting Budget
