Responsible Gambling
Gambling is entertainment for adults aged 18 and over (18+ only). It should never feel like a way to make money or escape problems. If it stops being fun, it is time to take a break.
Warning signs to watch for
Problem gambling builds quietly. Take it seriously if you notice any of these:
- Chasing losses or betting more than you can afford to lose.
- Gambling to escape stress, boredom or low mood.
- Hiding your gambling, or lying about time or money spent.
- Borrowing money, or neglecting work, study or relationships to play.
Stay in control
A few habits keep gambling safe and fun. Decide your limits before you start, not while you are playing:
- Set deposit, loss and time limits and stick to them.
- Use reality checks and never gamble with money you need for essentials.
- Use the operator's own self-exclusion and time-out tools when you need a break.
