Responsible Gambling

Betting should always be fun, never a way to make money or escape problems. MantisPicks is committed to promoting safer gambling. If betting stops being entertainment, it is time to stop.

Golden rules

• Only bet what you can comfortably afford to lose.
• Set a deposit and time limit — and stick to it.
• Never chase losses.
• Don't bet under the influence or to escape stress.
• Keep betting a small part of your life.

Warning signs

Betting more than you planned, hiding it from others, borrowing to bet, or feeling anxious about it.
