Responsible Gaming
Betting can be an exciting form of entertainment for many people. However, for some, this activity can get out of control and turn into a serious addiction. At Elitcasino, we encourage our users to bet consciously and responsibly.
Betting addiction is when a person is unable to control their betting and experiences negative consequences as a result. This can lead to financial problems, relationship problems and mental health issues.
Symptoms of Betting Addiction
The following are common symptoms of betting addiction:
- Feeling a strong desire or compulsion to place a bet
- Betting more to win back lost money
- Trying but failing to stop betting
- Lying or stealing money to place a bet
- Neglecting work, school or family responsibilities because of betting
- Feeling restless, irritable or depressed when you stop betting
If you notice any of these symptoms in yourself, you should consider seeking help.

You can follow these tips to stay in control when placing a bet:
- See betting as a pastime, not a way to make money
- Play no more than you can afford to lose
