Keep Play Fun!

September is Responsible Gaming Education Month and we are taking this opportunity to remind players how to Keep Play Fun! September to help educate Coloradans what it means to. 

There are a lot of misconceptions about gambling. Many people believe that gambling only becomes a problem when it happens every day. In reality, problematic gambling is defined by how it impacts someone's life, not just how often they play. We're here to help our players be the best players they can be while keeping play fun.

Remember, playing smart means: 

• Never chase losses. 
• Set a dollar limit and stick to it. 
• Balance gambling with other fun activities. 
• Don’t play when you are upset or depressed. 
• Never gamble with money needed for expenses. 
• Play for fun and entertainment, not for money. 
• Take a break from playing every now and again. 
• Treat winning as a bonus. 
• Don't gamble on credit, borrow to play, or gamble illegally. 
• Know how the games work and your odds of winning. 
• If you’re unsure whether you’re overstepping your limits, ask for help.
