Gambling is paid entertainment with a risk of losing money. It is not a way to earn income or solve financial problems. Only play if you are 18 or older and eligible where you live.
Set boundaries before you start
- Use only money you can afford to lose, after essential expenses.
- Set a firm time limit and spending limit; stop when either is reached.
- Never borrow to gamble or chase losses.
- Avoid gambling when upset or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
When play stops feeling manageable
Warning signs include hiding your gambling, spending more than planned, neglecting responsibilities or trying to win back losses. Pause play and speak to someone you trust.
Take a break or exclude yourself
Ask the casino’s support team about available deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion. Request that promotional messages stop. Consider device-level gambling blocking tools and ask your bank about available gambling payment restrictions.
