Tips for Safe Gambling

Set a Budget

Only dig with money you can lose, and stop once that's spent.

Set Time Limits

The burrow will keep. Set a timer on your session.

Never Chase Losses

An empty dig owes you nothing. Don't tunnel deeper to win it back.

Take Breaks

Surface for air between sessions to stay level-headed.
