Responsible Gambling

Gambling is entertainment, not income

Every game has a built-in house edge. In the long run the operator wins, so money for stakes must always be money you can afford to lose. Anyone trying to pay debts or recover losses through gambling is already on the wrong path.

Warning signs

• You play longer or with higher stakes than planned
• You chase losses with further play
• You borrow money to play or hide it from family
• Play crowds out work, sleep or relationships

Tools in your account

Reputable operators offer deposit limits, loss limits, time limits, breaks and self-exclusion. Set limits before you play, not after. A limit can usually be lowered immediately; an increase takes effect only after a waiting period.

Help

Free and confidential support is available from GamCare, the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 and BeGambleAware. GAMSTOP lets you self-exclude from all UK-licensed operators at once.

Protecting minors

Gambling is prohibited for minors. Protect devices with passwords and use filtering software if children live in your household.
