Responsible Gaming

Keep the ride sweet, not sour

Important Notice

A sugar rush can hurry you past the stop you meant to get off at. Gambling can become an addiction, and if Jelly Express has begun to squeeze your budget, your mood, or your relationships, pull the cord and ask for help. Support runs on every hour of the day, and no passenger rides this alone.

Signs of Problem Gambling

  • Spending more money than you can afford to lose
  • Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities
  • Chasing losses by gambling more
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
  • Lying about gambling habits
  • Feeling anxious or depressed about gambling
  • Being unable to stop or reduce gambling

Tips for Safe Gambling

Set a Budget

Board with only the fare you can afford to lose, and don't top it up.

Set Time Limits

Jelly Express keeps rolling long after you planned to stop. Set your station and get off there.

Never Chase Losses

A missed win won't circle back. Accept the loss and let the train move on.

Take Breaks

Step off at the platform often so the ride stays a treat.
