Responsible Gambling

Treat gambling as entertainment, full stop — not a plan to fix money problems or unwind from stress. Use this checklist to stay in control, know which safety tools exist, and know exactly where to turn if you need support.

Gambling is for adults only (18+)

This is intended for those aged 18 and over. If you feel you are losing control, stop and seek help immediately.

Signs to watch for

Run through this checklist for yourself and the people around you:

  • Playing with more than you can afford to lose
  • Chasing losses to win them back
  • Borrowing or selling things to gamble
  • Neglecting work or relationships because of play
  • Feeling anxious or guilty about gambling

Tools that protect you

Licensed casinos build in self-control tools — don't skip them, put them to work:

  • Deposit limits: a daily, weekly or monthly cap on deposits
  • Loss & session limits: automatic stop when you reach the limit
  • Reality checks: messages reminding you how long you have played
  • Self-exclusion: close your account for a period you set yourself

Where to find help

If it's slipping out of control, confidential support is one step away:

  • Reach out to international support organizations like GamCare and Gamblers Anonymous
  • Talk it through with a mental-health professional or someone you trust
  • Activate self-exclusion right away as your first move
