Responsible Gambling

Updated

Gambling should be entertainment. It is not a way to make money or to solve financial problems, and over time the odds favour the operator.

Age

This site is for adults aged 18 and over, or older where the law where you live sets a higher age.

Keeping it under control

  • Set a budget you can afford to lose before you start, and stop when it is gone.
  • Set a time limit and take regular breaks.
  • Do not chase losses or borrow money to gamble.
  • Do not gamble when you are upset, stressed or have been drinking.
  • Use the deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion tools in your operator account.

Warning signs

  • spending more money or time than you planned
  • gambling to win back losses
  • hiding gambling from family or friends
  • gambling affecting work, sleep, relationships or money for bills
