Responsible gambling
18+ only. Gambling should only ever be a form of entertainment, never a way to make money or solve financial problems. Most people lose more than they win.
Keep it under control
- Set a budget and a time limit before you start, and stick to them.
- Never chase losses or gamble with money you need for bills or essentials.
- Use the deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion tools offered by licensed operators.
- Don't gamble when you are stressed, upset or under the influence.
Warning signs
- Spending more money or time than you planned.
- Borrowing money or hiding gambling from family and friends.
- Feeling anxious, irritable or guilty about gambling.
If any of this sounds familiar, talking to someone helps. Support is free and confidential.
