Opening packs online is a game of chance. You pay a fixed price and the value of what you pull can be far lower than what you spent. Treat it as entertainment, not a way to make money.
Keep it in check
- Set a budget before you start, and only spend money you can afford to lose.
- Set a time limit and take breaks.
- Do not chase losses by buying more packs to win back what you spent.
- Do not rip when you are stressed, upset or have been drinking.
- Use any deposit limits, cool-off or self-exclusion tools the site offers.
Warning signs
Spending more than you planned, hiding spending from people close to you, borrowing to keep going, or feeling anxious when you are not playing are all signs to stop and talk to someone.
