Keep gambling within firm limits.

Gambling is entertainment with a real possibility of losing money. It is not income, an investment or a way to solve financial pressure.

Before playing

• Choose an amount you can lose without affecting bills, food, debt payments or savings.
• Set a session end time before the first wager.
• Do not borrow money or use essential funds.
• Read the game rules, limits and paytable.

Stop when a limit is reached

Do not add more money or extend the session to recover a loss. Previous outcomes do not create a debt that the next game must repay.

Warning signs

Warning signs include hiding gambling, borrowing to play, repeatedly exceeding limits, missing responsibilities, feeling unable to stop, or gambling to escape financial stress.

Use stronger controls

Account limits, cooling-off periods, self-exclusion, payment blocks and device-level blocking tools can add useful friction. If gambling is causing harm, stop and contact a recognised health or gambling-support service in your country. If there is an immediate risk of self-harm, contact local emergency services now.
