What is at-risk gambling behavior?

To prevent gambling from becoming a problem, it’s important to recognize the warning signs that may indicate you're losing control. Check the following list to see if you might be at risk for problematic gambling:

• You feel a strong urge to play.
• You become restless, irritated, or depressed when you can’t play.
• You find yourself playing for longer periods just to experience the same emotions as before.
• Casino games and sports betting have become a major part of your daily routine, and you can’t imagine a day without them.
• You isolate yourself from your surroundings (family, friends, etc.).
• You spend more than half of your day playing or thinking about playing.
• You lie to your family or friends about your gambling activity.
• Your gambling causes financial difficulties.

Tips for Safe and Enjoyable Gambling

At Circus, fun is our top priority. To help you keep your gaming and betting experience enjoyable, we've put together a few helpful tips:

1. Treat gambling as a fun leisure activity. Gambling can be a part of your life, but it shouldn’t take up too much of it. Always remember that games of chance are not a solution to financial problems, and we have no control over the outcome of your game.
2. Set a budget you can afford to lose. Define a budget based on what you can comfortably lose without causing any difficulties in your life, and stick to it. You can easily set your budget in your account settings.
3. Don’t chase losses. If you’re losing, don’t try to recover your losses by betting or playing more. Remember, using our platform means you can also lose. No one enjoys losing, but chasing your losses can lead to even bigger losses.
4. Cash out your winnings. If you win, we recommend cashing out your winnings right away. It can be tempting to keep playing, but withdrawing your winnings will help you avoid the urge to play more. You can set an automatic transfer limit for the maximum amount you want in your account for games and bets, right in your account settings.
