Play responsibly
Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money. Most players lose over time, so only ever stake what you can comfortably afford to lose.
Signs it may be becoming a problem
- Spending more time or money than you planned.
- Chasing losses, or betting to escape stress.
- Borrowing money, or letting work, study or family slip to keep gambling.
Tools that help
Licensed operators offer deposit limits, time-outs, reality checks and self-exclusion. Use them early rather than late.
Where to get help
If gambling stops being fun, free and confidential support is available. Organisations such as GamCare, Gambling Therapy and BeGambleAware offer advice and someone to talk to. You must be 18 or older to gamble.
