Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money or to escape stress. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available — free, confidential and worldwide.
Warning signs
- • You spend longer gambling than you planned
- • You increase stakes to chase losses
- • You neglect work, family or friends
- • You hide your gambling behaviour
- • You use money meant for other purposes
- • You feel anxious when you can't gamble
Tools to stay in control
Every licensed operator provides responsible-gambling tools. We recommend setting these from day one:
- ✔ Deposit limits — cap daily, weekly or monthly deposits.
- ✔ Loss limits — stop play automatically once a loss threshold is hit.
- ✔ Session reminders — alerts after a defined time of play.
- ✔ Self-exclusion — block your account for days, months or permanently.
- ✔ Reality checks — break the immersion at regular intervals.
