Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money or solve money problems. This page sets out simple habits that keep play under control and points to free support.
18+ only
You must be 18 or older to gamble. Do not let anyone under 18 use your account or devices that are logged in.
Habits that help
- Decide on a budget before you start and stick to it. Only use money you can afford to lose.
- Set a time limit and take regular breaks.
- Never chase losses. A bad session does not make the next one more likely to win.
- Do not gamble when you are upset, stressed or have been drinking.
- Keep gambling separate from rent, bills and savings.
- Check your history so you know what you have spent.
Warning signs
- Spending more money or time than you planned.
- Borrowing money to gamble or hiding how much you play.
- Feeling anxious, irritable or guilty about gambling.
- Gambling to escape problems.
