Set limits before starting
Choose an affordable spending limit and a time limit. Keep essential expenses separate. Do not borrow money to gamble, and stop when your limit is reached.
Keep play in perspective.
Gambling should be a leisure expense you can afford. It should never be treated as income, a solution to debt or a way to recover losses.
Notice the warning signs
Chasing losses, hiding your play, spending more than intended or neglecting work and relationships are reasons to pause and seek support.
Take a break or self-exclude
Ask the operator about account limits, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion. Consider device-level blocking tools and speak to someone you trust. If you feel unable to stop, seek specialist support in your country.
Find support
