Responsible Gambling
Gambling is for adults (18+, or 21+ where local law requires) and should only ever be entertainment.
Keep it fun
- Set a budget before you start, and never chase losses.
- Set a time limit, and take regular breaks.
- Never gamble with money you need for bills, or when you are stressed or have been drinking.
- Use the deposit limits, cool-off periods and self-exclusion tools most operators offer.
Warning signs
Spending more than you planned, hiding gambling from people close to you, borrowing to gamble, or feeling anxious when you are not playing can all be signs that gambling has become a problem.
