Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a source of income or a way to solve financial problems. This page explains how to keep your play under control and where to find help if gambling stops being fun.

Set limits before you play

• Deposit limits: decide how much you can afford to lose before you start, and never chase losses.
• Time limits: set a session clock and stick to it. Take regular breaks.
• Cool-off periods: most operators let you pause your account for a set time.
• Self-exclusion: if you need a longer break, use the operator's self-exclusion tools.

Warning signs

You may have a problem if you gamble more than you can afford, borrow money to gamble, chase losses, lie about your gambling, or feel anxious and irritable when not playing. If any of these sound familiar, please reach out for support.

Protecting minors

18+ If gambling is no longer fun, it's time to stop. Play within your limits and gamble responsibly.
