Advice from 88ad's responsible gaming specialists

Take at least a 10-minute break every hour. Get up, drink some water, take a short walk.
Intoxication impairs your judgment, which can lead to significant losses.
Keep your gaming budget strictly within your surplus income. Never use money set aside for your family's needs.
