Responsible Gambling
Keep control
Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money. Only gamble if you are aged 18 or over and it is permitted in your location. Decide on a spending limit before playing, and never use money needed for rent, bills or food.
Practical limits
- Set a deposit budget and a time limit.
- Take breaks and do not chase losses.
- Do not gamble while upset or under the influence.
- Keep track of spending across all gambling accounts.
- Ask the operator about cooling-off periods and self-exclusion.
Signs to stop
Borrowing to gamble, hiding spending, repeatedly exceeding limits or neglecting relationships and work are reasons to pause and seek help. Winning does not remove these risks. If a service is unavailable in your location, do not bypass its restrictions.
