The Responsible Gambling Guide

How to play online responsibly

At LeagueLane, we firmly believe that betting, gambling on related online gaming activities must be for entertainment and shouldn’t be considered as a way for making money. If you are someone who is already involved in such activities or planning to start, these guidelines will improve to reduce the risks. These guidelines apply to both apply only and land based gaming. 1.Only play with money for entertainment and not to make money. 2.Always play with money that you can afford to lose. 3.Never chase losses. 4.Set a money and time limit. 5.Don’t gamble when you are depressed or upset. 6.Balance gambling with other activities. 7.Never play under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The more questions that you answer “yes” to, the more likely it is that you are having difficulties with your gambling.
