Responsible gambling

Gambling should be a fun, optional leisure activity. If you ever feel your play is becoming stressful, costly, or difficult to control, you are not alone — and there are practical steps you can take right now to protect your money, time and wellbeing. Below are clear, compassionate options and actions you can use to stay in control or to get help if you need it.

Responsible Gambling

Responsible gambling means playing by rules that protect your finances and mental health. That includes setting clear limits, recognising risky patterns early, and using available tools to prevent harm. Small, consistent steps can reduce stress and keep play enjoyable.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Pay attention to changes in behaviour. Early recognition makes it much easier to act.

• Chasing losses or increasing stakes to try to win back money
• Spending more time or money than intended
• Feeling anxious, guilty or depressed after play
• Neglecting work, family or daily responsibilities
• Borrowing money or using funds needed for essentials
• Hiding gambling activity from others

Tools to Help You Control Your Play

Use built‑in controls and practical steps to reduce risk. These tools are most effective when set up in advance.

• Deposit limits — set daily, weekly or monthly caps on how much you can add to your account.
• Loss and wager limits — limit how much you can lose or stake over a set period.
• Session limits — restrict how long a single play session can last.
• Time-outs — short breaks (for example 24 hours to 30 days) that pause your access while you reassess.
• Self-exclusion — longer-term removal from the platform (weeks, months or permanently).
• Payment controls — remove stored cards, disable one-click deposits, or use pre-funded accounts to limit access to funds.
• Blocking and filtering software — third-party tools can block gambling sites on your devices.
