Simple ground rules

- Do not gamble to solve money problems.

This article is part of the player guides from BABA8, written for players in Nepal.
Set limits before you play
Decide your budget and your time limit before each session, not during it. Write them down if it helps. When you reach either one, stop, even if you are winning.

- Hiding your gambling from family or friends.
- Feeling anxious or irritable when you are not gambling.
- Missing work, study or family time because of gambling.

Talking helps. Speak to family, a friend or a doctor. Organisations such as Gamblers Anonymous run support groups, and many countries have free, confidential helplines. You can also ask BABA8 support to set limits or close your account.

Can I limit how much I deposit?
