Responsible gaming for Come players
Real-money games are entertainment with a price, never an income. The habits and helplines that keep it that way.
Habits
Rules that keep play recreational
- Set a deposit budget per month and treat it as spent entertainment money
- Set a time limit per session; short sessions keep decisions sharp
- Never chase a loss with a bigger deposit
- Do not play when upset, tired or under pressure to win money back
- Keep gaming money separate from rent, food and family money
- Take breaks of days or weeks when play stops feeling like a choice
