Responsible Gambling
Most people play games of chance for recreation. There are, however, some people who have a serious gambling problem that impacts negatively on their lives and the lives of their friends and family. A person who plays excessively or obsessively may neglect a spouse, children, and friends. They might begin to perform poorly at work or school, get into debt or play with borrowed money. Problem gambling is not restricted to a particular social status, ethnic group, gender or age.
Daily Thailand Lottery | THAILAND POOLS | Thailand TOTO Pools Government recognizes that while most people gamble for entertainment, a small number of people can become obsessed with playing games of chance. Even though studies suggest that only a very small percentage of the adult population encounters compulsive gambling problems, we take this matter seriously and have accordingly implemented a number of measures to address this issue:
- Daily Thailand Lottery | THAILAND POOLS | Thailand TOTO Pools Government training program incorporates methods and techniques that assist our employees in recognizing and taking appropriate actions when they identify compulsive or underage gambling.
- We have implemented an easy to use self-exclusion program for those who may need our assistance. Upon your request, we will cancel your membership and will prevent you from entering our casino or poker room.
- We let you set your own maximum allowed deposit amount.
- Upon your request, we will remove your name from our email list.
Remember!
- Gambling is a form of entertainment. It is not a way to get rich quickly and pay off debts.
- Gambling is a game of chance. There are no formulas that guarantee winnings.
- Make sure that the decision to gamble is your choice.
- Never try to chase your losses.
- Set a money limit according to how much you can afford to play and regularly check the amounts you spend at the Cashier.
- Like many things in life, activities that are enjoyable in moderation can become disastrous in excess.
Tips for gambling safely
Recreational gambling is fun. Obsessive gambling is not!
Remember!
- Gambling is a form of entertainment. It is not a way to get rich quickly and pay off your debts.
- Gambling is a game of chance. There are no formulas that guarantee winnings.
- Make sure that the decision to gamble is your choice and that you are not pushed or convinced to gamble.
- Decide how much money you can lose before you play. When that amount is lost-stop playing. Regularly check the amounts you spend at the Cashier.
- Before beginning to play, decide how much time you can afford to spend. Stop playing when that time is over.
- Make sure you know the rules of the games you play.
- Never chase your losses – never try to get back money you lost. This mostly leads to bigger losses.
- Make sure gambling does not exclude you from enjoying other activities in your life. Balance gambling with other forms of recreation. Do not let it interfere with work and family.
- Never gamble when you are emotionally down – it is hard to make rational decisions when you are upset or depressed.
- Never borrow money to gamble.
- A recently published study estimates that 39% of compulsive gamblers are able to solve their gambling problem by themselves. (Hodgins, D.C., Wynne, H., & Makarcuk, K. (1999) “Pathways to recovery from gambling problems.” Journal of Gambling Studies, 15, 93-104)
Recreational gambling is up to you.
Please, play responsibly!
