Play Smart. Stay in Control.

Ground rules that work

• Only gamble what you can afford to lose. Decide the amount before you start, and treat it as spent.
• Set deposit and time limits. Licensed casinos let you set them in your account. Set them on day one.
• Take breaks. Use reality checks or a phone timer. Stepping away resets your judgement.
• Never chase losses. Trying to win it back is how small losses become big ones.
• Don't gamble when upset, drinking or tired.

Warning signs

If any of these sound familiar, it's worth talking to someone. Support is free and confidential.

• Spending more money or time than you planned
• Chasing losses or gambling to win back money
• Borrowing money or selling things to gamble
• Hiding gambling from people close to you
• Feeling restless or irritable when not gambling
• Gambling to escape stress, worry or low mood

Self-exclusion

Self-exclusion blocks you from gambling for a period you choose. You can do it at a single casino from your account settings, and many countries also run national schemes that cover every licensed operator at once. Where a national scheme has been verified by our team, it's listed with its country below.

Blocking software for your devices, and gambling blocks offered by many banks, add another layer.
