Responsible Gambling

Gambling should be a paid-for form of entertainment, never a way to earn money or fix a money problem. This page is for adults aged 18 and over.

Keep it in control

• Set a deposit limit before you play and keep to it.
• Set a time limit and take regular breaks.
• Never chase losses and never gamble with money needed for bills.
• Do not play when tired, stressed or after drinking.

Warning signs

• Spending more time or money than planned.
• Hiding gambling from family or friends.
• Borrowing to gamble.
• Feeling anxious or irritable when not playing.

Tools to ask the operator for

Many operators offer deposit limits, session reminders, time-outs and self-exclusion. Look in the account settings or ask support, and confirm exactly what is available for you.
