Responsible gambling

Gambling should always be fun and never a way to make money. This page explains the risks, warning signs and tools that can help you stay in control.

Gambling is not a solution to financial problems.

If gambling stops being fun, it's time to take a break. Set limits, take regular breaks, and never chase losses.

Signs to watch for

  • Spending more time or money than you intended
  • Chasing losses to win money back
  • Gambling to escape stress or low mood
  • Borrowing money or neglecting responsibilities to gamble

Tools that help

  • Deposit, loss and session limits
  • Reality checks and time reminders
  • Cooling-off periods
  • Self-exclusion
