What is Responsible Gaming?
Responsible gaming means playing in a way that's safe, fun, and within your control. It ensures gaming doesn't negatively impact your life and that you're playing within your means. At tj99, we encourage every player to build healthy gaming habits.
Online gaming should be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money. Most people play responsibly and enjoy it, but for some, gaming can become a problem. That's why we provide various tools and resources to help you keep your gaming under control.
Principles of Responsible Gaming
- Set a Budget: Set a budget before playing and stick to it. Only spend money you can afford to lose
- Time Management: Set a specific time limit for gaming and take regular breaks
- See It as Entertainment: View Gaming as Entertainment, Not a Way to Make Money
- Maintain Balance: Maintain balance between gaming and other aspects of life like family, work, and hobbies
- Stay Aware: Stay aware of your own gaming habits and learn to recognize warning signs
- Seek Help: If you feel gaming is getting out of control, don't hesitate to seek help

10 Golden Rules of Responsible Gaming
Set a Budget and Stick to It
Before you start playing, decide how much money you can afford to spend. Only use money you can afford to lose and never exceed your budget.
Keep Track of Time
Set an alarm or check the clock regularly. It's easy to lose track of time when immersed in gaming, so make a conscious effort to monitor the time.
Take Regular Breaks
Take a short break every 30-60 minutes. Stand up, stretch, drink water, and rest your eyes. This will keep you refreshed and help you avoid impulsive decisions.
Avoid Alcohol
Alcohol can impair your judgment and lead you to make poor decisions. Play with a clear mind and stay in control.
Don't Try to Recover Losses
Chasing losses is one of the biggest mistakes. Accept that losses are part of gaming and move on. Chasing almost always leads to even bigger losses.
See It as Entertainment
Don't view gaming as a source of income. It's entertainment, and spending money on it is normalâjust like spending money on movies or concerts.
Keep Balance
Don't let gaming become the only activity in your life. Make time for family, friends, hobbies, exercise, and other interests.
Don't Play When Emotional
Avoid playing when you're angry, sad, stressed, or tired. Emotions can lead to poor decisions.
Talk to Others
Be open with family or friends about your gaming habits. Listen to their feedback, and if they're concerned, take it seriously.
Don't Hesitate to Ask for Help
If you feel your gaming habits are spiraling out of control, seek help immediately. Getting professional support is not something to be ashamed ofâit's a sign of strength.
