Responsible gambling18+ and never for income
Betting costs money over time. Treat it as paid entertainment, set limits before you start and stop when it stops being fun.
Keep control
- Set deposit, loss and time limits in your account before your first bet. Every licensed operator offers them.
- Never bet to win back a loss, and never with money meant for bills, rent or debt.
- Use reality checks and cool-off periods, and self-exclude if you need a longer break.
- Keep betting away from alcohol, stress and late nights, when judgement is weakest.
Warning signs
Spending more than you planned, chasing losses, hiding betting from people close to you, or feeling anxious when you are not betting are all reasons to stop and talk to someone.
