Problem gambling or trading may include:

• Spending more money than you planned or can afford to lose
• Chasing losses by increasing bet sizes or frequency
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund trading
• Neglecting work, school, or personal relationships due to trading
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not trading

• Being unable to stop or reduce trading despite wanting to

Self-Exclusion Resources

Most platforms offer self-exclusion tools that allow you to temporarily or permanently block your account:

• Deposit limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps
• Loss limits: Cap the amount you can lose in a given period
• Time-outs: Temporarily suspend your account for 24 hours to 30 days
• Self-exclusion: Permanently close your account (usually 6 months to 5 years)
• Reality checks: Set reminders about how long you've been trading

Contact the platform's customer support directly to set up any of these protections. In many states, you can also register with a state-wide self-exclusion program through your state gaming commission.

Tips for Responsible Trading

• Set a budget before you start and stick to it
• Never trade with money you need for bills, rent, or essentials
• Take regular breaks and set time limits
• Don't chase losses — accept them as part of trading
• Keep records of your trades and review them regularly
• Don't trade under the influence of alcohol or strong emotions
• Remember that past performance doesn't guarantee future results
