Play Responsibly

Our commitment to responsible gaming

At guidedugainfr.com, we encourage a responsible and moderate approach to gambling. Gaming should remain a form of entertainment and not a source of stress or financial hardship. We invite you to regularly check your balance, set clear limits, and never play with money you cannot afford to lose.

Tips for playing responsibly

Set limits: Before you start playing, set a maximum budget and stick to it strictly. Never exceed this limit, regardless of the circumstances. Manage your time: Time passes quickly when playing. Set yourself a maximum playing time and respect it. Take regular breaks. Do not chase your losses: If you lose, do not try to win back your losses by playing more. This is one of the most risky behaviours. Do not play under the influence: Avoid playing under the influence of alcohol or other substances that impair your judgment. Keep the balance: Gaming should not interfere with your professional, family or social responsibilities.

Recognising the signs of addiction

Gambling addiction is a serious problem that can affect all aspects of life. Here are the main signs that may indicate a problem: • You constantly think about gambling, even when you are doing something else • You feel the need to wager increasing amounts to recapture the excitement • You have tried several times to reduce or stop gambling without success • You feel restless or irritable when you try to limit your gambling • You gamble to escape your problems or relieve negative emotions • You return to gambling to try to recover lost money • You lie to loved ones about the extent of your gambling activities • You have compromised relationships, employment or opportunities because of gambling • You rely on others to help you financially as a result of your losses

Consequences of gambling addiction

Gambling addiction can have serious repercussions on many aspects of life: Financial consequences: Significant debts, difficulty paying everyday expenses, borrowing from loved ones, or even illegal activities to fund gambling. Mental health consequences: Anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, feelings of shame and guilt, and in the most serious cases, suicidal thoughts. Relationship consequences: Family conflicts, breakups, social isolation, loss of trust from loved ones. Professional consequences: Decreased productivity, absences, job loss.

Protect your account

To prevent any unauthorised access to your gaming accounts, take the following precautions: • Never share your usernames and passwords • Use strong and unique passwords • Always log out after playing, especially on shared computers • Regularly monitor your bank statements to detect any suspicious transactions • If you suspect unauthorised access, immediately contact the customer service of the site concerned
