Responsible Gambling

Last updated: August 19, 2026

Gambling can be addictive. Betting should always be entertainment with money you can afford to lose — never a source of income and never a way to recover losses. This website is for adults aged 18+ only.

Keep it safe

Set a budget and a time limit before you start, and stick to both.
Never chase losses — a losing day is not a debt to recover.
Do not gamble when stressed, upset or under the influence.
Balance betting with other activities; it should never be your main pastime.

Use the tools bookmakers provide

Every licensed bookmaker offers responsible gambling tools. Use them proactively:

Deposit limits — cap how much you can deposit per day, week or month.
Loss and wager limits — stop automatically when a threshold is reached.
Reality checks — on-screen reminders of how long you’ve been playing.
Time-outs — short breaks from 24 hours to 6 weeks.
Self-exclusion — block your account for months or years. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed until the period ends.

Warning signs

Consider seeking help if you recognise any of these patterns:

Betting more than you can afford, or borrowing money to gamble
Hiding your gambling from family or friends
Feeling restless or irritable when not betting
Gambling to escape problems or negative feelings
Neglecting work, studies or relationships because of betting
