Responsible Gaming

1. Understanding Gambling Risks

Gambling involves the risk of losing money. No prediction, strategy, promotion, or past result can guarantee a profit. Gambling should never be treated as a salary, investment, or solution to financial difficulties.

Choosing not to gamble is always an option. Setting limits can reduce some risks, but it cannot make gambling risk-free.

2. Set Spending and Time Limits

Before gambling, decide how much money and time you are prepared to spend. Keep essential expenses, savings, and family commitments separate.

• Do not use money needed for rent, bills, food, or other essentials.
• Avoid borrowing or using credit to fund gambling.
• Set a clear stopping time and take regular breaks.
• Keep track of spending across all accounts.

Where an operator provides deposit, loss, or time limits, check how each setting works before relying on it.

3. Avoid Chasing Losses

Trying to recover losses by placing more bets can lead to further losses. A previous result does not guarantee what will happen next.

If you reach your spending limit, stop. Do not increase your budget or make another deposit to try to win back money.

4. Recognise When Gambling Is Causing Harm

Pause and seek support if gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, work, or wellbeing. Warning signs can include:

• Spending more money or time than intended.
• Borrowing money or neglecting essential expenses.
• Hiding gambling activity or losses from others.
• Finding it difficult to stop or repeatedly returning to recover losses.
• Feeling distressed about gambling.

You do not need to wait for the situation to become severe before asking for help.

5. Take a Break or Request Self-Exclusion

If gambling is becoming difficult to control, consider a break and ask the operator about its time-out or self-exclusion process.

Check which accounts are covered, how long the restriction lasts, and what happens to any account balance. Do not create another account to bypass an exclusion.

Blocking software and bank gambling-payment controls, where available, can provide additional barriers. Tools differ in coverage and should not be assumed to block every service.

6. Keep Gambling Away From Children

This website’s gaming-related content is intended for adults aged 18 or older, or the higher minimum age applicable in their location. Meeting an age threshold does not by itself establish that gambling is permitted where you live.

Keep account credentials private, sign out of shared devices, and avoid leaving gambling accounts accessible to children. Use appropriate parental controls on shared devices.

7. Find Independent Help and Support

If you are concerned about your gambling, speak with someone you trust and consider contacting a qualified local support service. Support for account transactions is separate from independent help with gambling-related harm.

• GambleAware: information about gambling harms
• GambleAware: blocking and self-exclusion information

These resources are UK-based. Service access and eligibility vary by location; use a suitable local service for direct assistance.
