Responsible Gambling
At Vorqlo, we are committed to promoting safe and responsible gambling. Gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems.
⚠️ Important Warning
Gambling can be addictive and can have serious consequences. If you're concerned about your gambling or someone else's, seek help immediately.
Responsible Gambling Guidelines
🏦 Set a Budget
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never gamble with money intended for bills, rent, or other necessities.
⏰ Set Time Limits
Decide how long you want to spend gambling before you start, and stick to your time limit.
🚫 Don't Chase Losses
Accept losses as part of the cost of entertainment. Never increase bets to try to win back money you've lost.
🧘 Take Regular Breaks
Take frequent breaks from gambling to maintain perspective and avoid impulsive decisions.
🍺 Avoid Gambling Under Influence
Never gamble when you're under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or when you're upset or depressed.
⚖️ Keep It Balanced
Gambling should not interfere with work, family, or other important activities in your life.
