1. Set a budget and keep it
Decide a monthly amount you can lose without touching savings or bills, for example S$100, and split it into sessions. Never top up a session that has ended.
2. Choose cheaper games
Baccarat Banker (1.06%) or blackjack by the chart (about 0.5%) cost far less per hour than slots at 4%. Slower games stretch a budget.
3. Use a timer
Set a phone timer for each session. Fast games make time disappear, and longer sessions mean larger average losses.
4. Use the account tools
- Deposit limits per day, week or month.
- Loss and session limits.
- Reality checks that pop up during play.
- Time-out and self-exclusion.
Set them before your first deposit. If a casino has none, treat that as a warning.
5. Read your history
Download your betting history each month and add up deposits minus withdrawals. If the number surprises you, it is time to cut back. Our responsible gaming page and addiction help page list support in Singapore.
